My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 788

For the whole afternoon, Eudora felt something disturbing her, and she just could not calm down.

Finally, out of worry, she gave the old folks' home a call.

The nurse confidently stated that Mr. George was in perfect physical and mental health. In fact, they were having a competition, and he was busy dancing. They told her not to worry.

Only then did Eudora calm down and she felt that she had been overthinking things.

After all, Gordon had left Rosaville City for quite some time. Logically speaking, he would not become someone else's target.

It was only during dinnertime that Eudora received a call from the nursing home.

"Miss George, something terrible has happened! Mr. George has gone missing!"

Eudora almost dropped the spoon in her hands, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that everything was fine when I had called in the afternoon?"

The caretaker was about to cry, "He really had been okay in the afternoon, and he had even been dancing with the others in the dance hall. When I hung up, I saw that his clothes were still there. They said that he had gone to the washroom, so I didn't dwell on it. I still hadn't seen him after tidying up the room and leaving, so I went to the washroom to look for him. I searched high and low, but to no avail. "Normally, Mr. George would indeed leave the washroom occasionally to loiter around somewhere else. So, I went around to look for him, but I really couldn't replace him. I'm so sorry, Miss, I've failed my duty!" Eudora did not have the mood to care about whose fault the situation was now. The most important thing was to get Gordon back!

"Wait for me at the door. I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Tina hurriedly said, "Eudora, you go ahead. I'll take care of the children for you."

Eudora nodded, and called Charlie to head down the mountain together.

The sky was already dark at that hour. The mountain's path was tough to maneuver, and it took them almost two hours to reach the gates of the nursing home.

The caretaker was already waiting there, sobbing immensely.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I'm so sorry.' "Alright, stop apologizing. Are you sure that you've searched everywhere in the nursing home?"

"Every nook and cranny has been searched! While you were still on the way, I went to search around one more time. The director even looked at the surveillance footage, but to no avail."

Just as they were talking, a security guard ran towards them from behind.

"He went out through the main gate!"

Eudora was stunned, "When?"

"The surveillance footage showed that it was about five o'clock in the afternoon when he got led to the gates by a sparkler!"

A sparkler?

Eudora hurriedly turned around and went into the surveillance room. The monitor showed that Gordon had indeed headed to the washroom. When he had come out, he suddenly saw a balloon shaped like a sparkler in the sky.

He had stood there and watched it for a long time. The balloon slowly flew outside, so he followed it little by little. At the end, he walked out of the gate.

Charlie was a little curious as he asked, "Why did he follow a balloon out?"

Wasn't it all too strange? No normal person would do that, would they?

Upon hearing that, the caretaker's face suddenly turned pale.

"Tr-truth be told..."

"Speak!" Charlie said coldly.

"Actually, Mr. George's Alzheimer's disease has been worsening, and recently, he has been doing some weird things. I had always wanted to inform you about this, but he didn't allow me to. He said that you already had too much on your plate, so he didn't want to worry you."

Charlie frowned, and hurriedly glanced at Eudora.

"Even so, it's still weird! Of all things, why would he follow this balloon out?"

The caretaker was also dumbfounded, "I-1 don't know either."

"I know why..." Eudora suddenly spoke up, her voice choking with sobs.

"Because there was a star on the balloon."

Eudora thought that since Kesha had left, Gordon would already let go of the past.

She did not expect that even at his age, he had not forgotten how he used to raise her when she was young.

He had folded paper stars for her while saying, "Daddy's little princess, Daddy will pick all the stars from the sky just for you."

Eudora sniffled, "This nursing home is in such a remote place, so how could a balloon suddenly appear in the sky? Charlie, this incident isn't as simple as it seems..."

"I'll go and investigate it right away..."

Before he could finish speaking, Eudora's cell phone rang.

Eudora picked up her phone, and an arrogant voice instantly sounded from the other end.

"Eudora, let me treat you to a meal!"

It was Sebastian.

Eudora immediately understood what had happened, "Was it you who kidnapped my father?"

Sebastian laughed and replied, "What do you mean by that? How could you use the word 'kidnap' when we're family? It's just that you were too hard to invite, so I could only invite that old man here for a visit." Someone nearby reminded Sebastian, "The old man has followed the balloon to the side of the mountain road..."

"What's there to be scared about? He won't die after all! Isn't that right, Eudora?"

"Sebastian!" Eudora gritted her teeth, "If anything happens to my father, I won't let you get away with this!"

"Okay, I got it. Since you're so anxious about this, you're coming to this meal, aren't you? I'll give you half an hour to get to the gazebo at West Hill. I'll wait for you here." There was a slight pause.

Sebastian added, "Bring the secret recipe along. Also, don't bring any secret guards with you! Otherwise, I'll kill your father!"

Then, the call got disconnected.

Eudora quickly stood up. Charlie immediately stretched out his arms to stop her, saying, "I'll go.

"No! Sebastian knows who you are, so it'll be dangerous for my father if you go there. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After that, Eudora immediately grabbed the keys to the car Charlie had used to drive where they were, and sped down the mountain.

At the foot of West Hill.

Eudora did not dare to stop, and kept climbing upwards. Step by step, until she was out of breath, she finally managed to reach the top of the mountain.

The location of the gazebo which Sebastian had mentioned was the place where she used to bring Old Master Granger back then. Now, there was a gazebo in its place. Sebastian sat behind the stone table and looked at Eudora with a smile.

"You're not too early nor too late, just on time. Very good! Had you been open for discussion this amiably in the first place, wouldn't we have been able to avoid this?" Eudora frowned, "Cut the cr*p. Where's my father?"

Sebastian waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately dragged Gordon over.

"Old man, your daughter's here!"

Eudora cried out frantically, "Dad!"

Hearing this, Gordon took a look at Eudora and immediately shook his head, "You're not Eudora, my daughter. You're not her."

Eudora's nose twitched. He really could not recognize her.

She turned to look at Sebastian again, "Let him go! This is between you and me, and it has nothing to do with my father."

In a cocky manner, Sebastian replied, "There's no rush, so why are you in such a hurry? I've already stated that I'm inviting you for dinner! We haven't even had the meal, so why bother talking about these things?"

Only after Sebastian finished speaking did Eudora clearly see that there was a large basin on the table in front of Sebastian.

The basin contained a lot of food. To be specific, it looked more like a hodgepodge.

Rice, vegetables, meat, everything had been mixed together!

Sebastian laughed in an irritating way while saying, "Doesn't it look so weird? That's right, this is dog food which I've asked people to get from the foot of the mountain, specifically food for mutts. Doesn't look too bad, does it?"

He pointed at the basin, "Finish it, then we'll discuss the rest!!"
