Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 251 Where’s the Daughter

The sky was gradually getting darker. Master Lu was sitting by the dining table enjoying his dinner.

He raised his eyes nonchalantly and glanced at the butler, “Any news on Mu Xue?”

“I got something.”

The butler scanned the area reluctantly, then leaned in, lowering his voice, “Mu Xue got into a car accident over ten years ago and was hospitalized. We thought she had left City A, but that’s not true. She had always been around. We focussed our search on different institutional units but never thought about the hospital.”

After a brief pause, the butler continued, “Mu Xue lived in comatose all these years, which is why we never found any expenses or travel records on her. We had been going in the wrong direction all this while, so it wasn’t a surprise that our efforts were in vain.”

Master Lu took a sip of the snow fungus and lotus soup before raising his head to peer at the butler fiercely.

“Stop explaining why we fail to find anything about Mu Xue. I don’t care about these, it’s all in the past. Does she have any family members? Where is my daughter?”

The butler let out a troubled expression.

“Speak!”

Master Lu bellowed at the butler angrily along with his furious glare.

After some moment, the butler said, “Perhaps Madam Mu Xue’s daughter had disappeared, or she’s passed away. We can’t find any trace of Madam Mu Xue’s daughter.”

Following that, the butler mopped the sweat on his forehead with the corner of his sleeves.

It was apparent to him that Master Lu was enraged from the grimness of his face!

“Not a thing about her? Dead? Disappeared?”

“Yes.”

“Sure?”

“Yes.”
