Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 306 The Children Are Missing

The driver saw the little boy and the cat in the middle of the road and slammed on the brakes. But it was too late. Even though the car slowed down urgently, it still hit Nathan!

Nathan's small body was sent flying several yards, and he landed on the ground, motionless.

Mia covered her small face and screamed in terror.

"Nathan, Mia!" Noah rushed over in a panic.

Inside the car, the driver froze in shock, but the person in the passenger's seat was more composed. "We braked hard, so it was just inertia. He should be alive. Call an ambulance, quickly." "Right, right." The driver immediately called for an ambulance.

"What's going on?" asked a deep, aged voice from the back seat.

"Mr. Clemens, a child has been hit. I'm calling an ambulance," Yensen reported from the passenger seat.

"Nathan!" Noah panicked, rushing over to where Nathan lay in a pool of blood.

"Help! Somebody, help!" he shouted with a trembling voice.

"Waaaah, Nathan, waaaah..." Mia stood by the roadside, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably.

From the backseat, Micah's grandfather rolled down the window and peered out to see a young boy lying in the middle of the road, blood pooling from a wound on his head.

Beside him, another boy cradled the injured child, crying out for assistance, while a little girl wept beside them.

The scene tightened the old man's chest with anguish.

Micah's grandfather emerged from the car without hesitation, leaning on his cane as he approached. He swiftly checked Nathan's breathing before issuing a command, "Forget the ambulance. Gather the children and place them in the car. We're heading to the hospital immediately."

"Yes, sir."

...

It was 3:40 p.m., and Sadie was still in the taxi, concerned about her kids and on her way back home. She hastily called Jonathan, as bright as a sunflower, "Jonathan, Brenda is ill and couldn't pick up the kids today. I'm hurrying home. Could you please "

"Oh, Miss Roth, the children were already off the bus," Jonathan interrupted anxiously. "They got off right on time at the drop-off spot at 3:30 p.m. Brenda has been a few minutes late these past few days, so I figured they'd just wait there for a bit. I had no idea-oh, you should have told me beforehand."

"They're off the bus? Where are they now?" Sadie panicked.

"They should be at the drop-off spot." Jonathan was flustered. "I instructed them repeatedly to stay put and not to wander off. Can you go check on them? Call me if there's any trouble." "Alright, I'll see when I get there."

Urging the driver to speed up, Sadie finally arrived at the drop-off point at 3:50 p.m.

Stepping out of the car, she was stunned. Where were the children?

They weren't at the drop-off point at all.

Wondering if they might have gone to the nearby woods to play, she frantically searched but found no sign of them.

She ignored her aching back and searched all the way home, calling out the kids' names as she wen.: "Noah! Nathan! Mia!" There was no response.

Her mind raced with worry but clung to a glimmer of hope that perhaps the children had made it home on their own. The three kids were smart and knew their way back. Plus, with Noah there, she reasoned they should be safe. Rushing into the house, she found it empty, greeted only by Coco flitting towards her, chirping, "Mommy, Mommy!" "Coco, have you seen Noah, Nathan, or Mia?" Sadie asked frantically.

"No, no." Coco shook its tiny head.

A chill went through Sadie, but hope still clung to her as she searched each room, calling out, "Noah, Nathan, Mia, come out! Don't scare Mommy!" "Come out! Come out!" Coco echoed, shouting alongside her.

Regrettably, the three children remained nowhere to be found.

By now, Sadie was frantic, sweat soaking her back. She leaned on her injured waist to catch her breath, repeatedly telling herself, 'Stay calm! I must stay calm.'
