The Day Our Promise Breaks
Chapter 29
As they spoke, her eyes reddened, and her face was filled with guilt.
Charles' expression turned stern. At that moment, he couldn't bother to comfort Dahlia. His voice was deep as he asked, "Did you get a clear look at who was holding Charlie?" He feared the worst, that it was child traffickers. Child abduction was rampant these days.
"It was a middle-aged woman. She looked a bit like a nanny, and Charlie seemed quite attached to her," Dahlia said, her tone uncertain.
Charles pressed on, "Which way did they go?"
Without hesitation, Dahlia pointed in a direction. "That way."
Charles immediately took off in pursuit. Ahead, the crowd was sparse, so if he hurried, he might catch up.
"Ouch."
Charles had barely taken a few steps when he heard Dahlia's suppressed cry of pain from behind. He immediately stopped in his tracks.
Turning around, he noticed Dahlia had been injured. Her fall had caused her skirt to lift, revealing a knee injury that was bleeding profusely. It was a ghastly sight.
Charles quickly walked back and helped Dahlia to her feet as she was trying to get up.
As soon as Dahlia steadied herself, she pushed Charles and urgently said, "Charles, it's nothing serious. I'm fine. Please go after her. You're fast. They haven't been gone long. You can catch them."
Even as she spoke, she disregarded the pain in her leg. She limped forward, intending to continue the chase.
But with a step, she suddenly found herself lifted off the ground. Charles had scooped her up from behind. He didn't continue the chase but headed towards where he had parked.
Dahlia desperately clutched at Charles' collar. "Charles, I'm really okay. Finding Charlie is more important. You haven't seen her in so long."
Hearing this, Charles' expression grew even darker. "Let her hide away then. I want to see how long Evelyn can keep her hidden!" Charles' tone turned cold.
Dahlia seemed to want to say more, but she noticed his displeased expression, swallowed her words and buried her face in his chest.
