The Disappearing Child

Hearing this news, Aurora was not particularly surprised. In fact, she has long had this suspicion, which just has not been confirmed. Whether Cyril is a love child or Arvin, she does not care. As long as she could enter the Sean Family, in the future, it will be much easier for her to deal with Cosen Co.,Ltd. and Saxon.

"Can I talk to Cyril?" Aurora looked at him sincerely.

Cyril had been waiting in the flower room, he knew Aurora would surely come to him, but he still couldn't control the strange feeling in his heart when he actually saw her.

He could not describe that feeling, just from the time he saw her again after a year, it could not help but appear.

His expression was a little impatient, and Arthur poured Aurora a cup of tea and left.

"Why did you speak to the reporter about the engagement?"

"Isn't that what you were hoping for?"Aurora replied with certainty.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she added, "I know, it's embarrassing for you, but I don't care, as long as I can marry the Sean Family, it's the same as marrying anyone".

Cyril stared at her with disgust, his heterochromatic pupils making people evoke inexplicable fear, and the air in the entire bower freezing. He said expressionlessly, "I am not going to marry you."

Aurora left behind a necklace with an emerald ring hanging from it, "This ring was left behind by my mother, who said that if I ever identified my other half, I would give it to him."

Before Cyril could refuse, Aurora got up and left, not giving him a chance to say anything.

Looking at the ring, his memories instantly was pulled back nine years ago. At that time Aurora accidentally rolled the ring in the pool. In order to find it, Aurora who couldn't swim almost drowned. It was this accident that let her meet her ex-boyfriend Saxon, the two fell in love at first sight.

The memories come to an abrupt end here.

Five days later was the anniversary of Flora's death, Aurora did not dare to mention the engagement to her father, and deliberately put away all the recent newspapers about her.

Barlow didn't know the matter about his late wife Olivia and Paul. The Sean Family had disappeared from their lives by the time he met Olivia, so the few letters Paul and Olivia had left were secretly hidden by Aurora.

During the day, they prayed for Flora in church. After a set of processes, it was nearly twilight. Aurora sent his father home, watched Anna help his father wash up and sleep, then silently changed into a black sweater, leaving the house alone with a black cap.

She drove alone for over an hour to Blackwood town, a remote town in Gomo city, which was located in a slum area, not as clean and orderly as the downtown area with its tall buildings.

Once she entered the town, she saw the streets full of citizens wandering around, mostly Asian and African peoples who survived the war, but also slaves who were smuggled here with imported goods.

There were bands on the street, banging on rudimentary instruments, but few people stop by. Three or five barefoot children with round bellies chase after deformed soccer balls, and even though the church was free to them, they rarely went to school.

Almost everyone would cast a general look at Aurora's high-end expensive car, Aurora pulled up the hood on the sweatshirt with one hand, superimposed it on the cap. Although doing so would make the view limited, but after blocking a lot of eyes, it could make her feel less confined.

Finally, she arrived at the small secluded square, parked her car by the church and carefully walked inside.

A middle-aged Islamic woman heard the sound and came out to greet her, "Miss Carlsson, I guessed you would be here."

Today is the anniversary of Flora's death, the church prepared prayers early, and until now, solemn singing could be heard inside.

"I came to see these children."

In fact, it was just a way for her to miss her young sister, and this place was their secret.

She just stood quietly at the door for a while, noticing that a few familiar faces were missing, and asked the churchwarden, who had a sad face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take care of them, those kids are gone."

"Gone?" Aurora asked in surprise, "Where did they go?"

"We don't know, it's possible that the traffickers stole them," said the chief with tears in her eyes, "We've been searching for days without finding them, and have lost four children."

"How did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?"

"Originally, we wanted to call you, but we saw the recent news about your family and were worried about effecting your business, so we decided to call the police to handle it ourselves." The chief explained guiltily.

Aurora was a little angry and helpless, "Call the police? Do you think the police here will care?"

She surveyed the surrounding area, then told her assistant to secretly send a few people to keep an eye on the church to see if there were any suspicious people wandering around the place. The church was a kind of trust for her and she wouldn't allow any accidents to happen!
