Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Abby is Missing

Lacey and I were totally freaked out, but we tore through every room like maniacs. Sophie was on the floor, bawling her eyes out.

"It's no use. I checked everywhere, even under the bed. Abby's just... gone."

I peeked out the window; the sun was barely coming up.

"When did Richard bail?" I asked.

Sophie just shook her head, looking lost. "I don't know."

Richard vanishing wasn't a shocker, but Abby, who couldn't even walk yet, had to be taken.

Either Richard forgot to shut the door and someone snuck in to grab Abby, or he took her himself. That thought made my stomach churn.

I glanced at Lacey, who seemed to be thinking the same thing, while Sophie was too wrecked to even consider it.

I squatted down and gently patted Sophie's shoulder to calm her down.

"Sophie, don't freak out. Crying won't fix this, right? We gotta figure out how to find her."

Hearing this, Sophie quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, stood up, and nodded, trying to hold back her sobs.

"Okay, let's go out and look."

After heading downstairs, we split up to search.

Sophie was too emotional to go alone, so I stuck with her. Wandering around aimlessly was rough. By daylight, Sophie was walking around, crying, and showing Abby's photo to anyone, but it was pointless. If someone had taken her, they'd be long gone by now.

Feeling desperate, I called Ethan. He told us to wait. Before he arrived, Lacey called. We grabbed a cab to the Windsors. The gate was shut, but we heard a kid crying inside.

"It's Abby, it's Abby crying."

As soon as Sophie heard the crying, she lost it and started pounding on the cold iron gate.

"Open the door, please. I'm begging you, please open the door!"

Sophie knelt in the snow outside the gate, crying and begging for who knows how long, but there was no response from inside.

If I had any pull with the Windsor family, I could plead for her. But Victor and Linda couldn't stand me. If I spoke up, it would probably make things worse.
