Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Misfortune Comes in Twos and Threes

―――Vicars Hotel.

Elliana Lyle sat in a wheelchair, pushed by Hannah Collins. In fact, she hadn’t expected Hannah to bring her wheelchair along.

At this moment, in front of the hotel, a security guard was driving away an old beggar with a stick. The old beggar, having been struck, hurriedly ran away.

That disheveled beggar was running in her direction, stumbling, dressed in a dirty white floral shirt, and the military canvas shoes on their feet were washed to the point of fraying.

As they brushed past each other, Elliana froze, but she still recognized her! She quickly shouted: "Aunt Nancy!"

As she called out, Elliana wasn’t sure if she had mistaken the person.

The old beggar immediately stopped, slowly turned around, "El... El... Elliana girl―――!"

That voice, worn and repressed, sounded out, hoarse from excitement, and she hurried towards Elliana.

Seeing that she was getting closer, Hannah swiftly stood in front of Elliana, preventing the overly excited old woman from approaching.

A month and a half ago.

At that time, Elliana was still filming South Wind Song. At 9 PM, Elliana received a call from Aunt Nancy.

"Hello, Aunt Nancy."

Nestled in a man’s embrace watching TV, Elliana immediately sat up. A call from Aunt Nancy at this hour surely meant news about Nancy.

But Aunt Nancy’s sobs on the other end of the line filled her with unease. Something must have happened. She hurriedly asked, "Aunt Nancy, what’s wrong? What happened?"

"Elliana girl, I’ve returned to the countryside. The police still haven’t found my daughter. What should I do...?"

Aunt Nancy sat on the kang, a dim light bulb lit the room, and she was crying uncontrollably.

Hearing Aunt Nancy’s cries, Elliana immediately stood up, pacing a bit anxiously, comforting her: "Aunt Nancy, don’t cry, we’ll find her. It’s just a matter of time. Please don’t cry..."
