The Love From Vengeance

Chapter 237

237: PANICKING?

ARIEL’S POV

1 frantically looked around the parking lot, my heart racing in fear. “Janice? Janice” I called out, hoping she would answer. But there was no sign of her.

1 ran up to a couple getting into their car, “Excuse me, have you seen a little girl around here? She was wearing a pink dress.”

They shook their heads, “No, we haven’t. Sorry.”

I felt a lump form in my throat. Where could she have gone? I turned to another person, an old man walking towards his car, “Excuse me, sir. Did you see a little girl around here?”

He gave me a sympathetic look, “I’m sorry, I haven’t seen anyone like that.”

“Okay, thank you,” I told him, and he nodded before walking away.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. Where could my daughter have gone? I ran back to my car, my heart pounding in my chest. Why did Janice have to act like this now? It wasn’t nice, wasn’t cool, wasn’t fun either.

She might be with Luke right now. Yes, she must probably be with him. But I didn’t think Luke would still be around. Even so, I decided to go check.

I rushed to that location, and I spotted Luke about to enter his car. I didn’t waste any time running to him. “Luke! Have you seen Janice? Is she with you?”

“No, she isn’t,” he replied.

“But have you seen her?”

He looked at me with concern, “No, I haven’t. What’s wrong? Is she missing?”

“I can’t find her. She was right here, and then she disappeared.” I felt my voice break as I could feel myself about to burst into tears.

“Okay, you mean she just vanished?”

“Yes, she left, and I have no idea where she is right now.”

“Why would you let her move like that?”

“It’s not my fault, okay? I was searching for my keys which fell in my car.”

“Okay, great. It’s not your fault. The whose fault is it?”

“I can’t find my daughter here. I’m in no mood to joke right now.”

“Please, no jokes, alright?”

Luke chuckled, “I’m not joking, I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Let’s think logically, where could she have gone?”

I sighed, “I don’t know. Maybe she ran off to the ice cream truck.”

“Oh no, not the ice cream truck!” Luke exclaimed, mockingly. “We better call the FBI, she must have been abducted by the ice cream man.”

I rolled my eyes, “Very funny, Luke. This is not the time for jokes.”

“You told me that already, and you think I’m cracking jokes right now?”
