Chapter 861 Fear Of The Unknown

Just as Thalia was about to leave, she hurriedly turned back upon hearing Denise's voice, revealing, "Magus called and said that Lina has gone missing. I suspect it has something to do with that Lindon guy. Let's go check it out now."

That had Denise instantly all perked up.

"Tell Anthony that I'm going ahead. We'll meet up at the hospital later!" added Thalia.

Denise regained her composure and nodded. "All right, I got it!"

Thalia then set off without saying anything further.

The second she walked out, Denise's visage turned grim. She first went to Anthony's room to inform him, only to replace that the door had been locked from within. She knocked on the door for quite a while. The door finally opened, revealing Anthony's annoyed mien. His pale little face scrunched up in displeasure. "What do you want from me early in the morning?"

Denise looked the boy in the eye and uttered, "Thalia just received a call from Magus, saying that Lina has gone missing. She's already on her way to the hospital, and she asked me to inform you."

As the news reached Anthony's ears, it was as though he was still in a dream. All he did was bob his head lazily. Be that as it might, a fleeting moment later, he suddenly became clear-headed. "What did you say?" he asked as he gaped at Denise.

The girl took a deep breath and said, "Lina's in trouble! Thalia has already rushed over, so let's pack up and join her!"

It was then that Anthony totally came around and agreed, "Right! Let's pack our things and leave straight away!"

"Yes!" Denise nodded.

"Go wake Benjamin and Miguel up!"

Even though girls would take more time to pack, Denise wasted no time and went to knock on their doors.

Ten minutes later, they hit the road.

Miguel was the one who took the wheel.

In the back seat, Anthony dialed Thalia's number. However, even after several attempts, there was still no answer.

Anthony knitted his brows into an uneasy knot.

"What's wrong?" questioned Benjamin.

"Miguel, bring me the computer," Anthony piped up.

Miguel immediately grabbed the laptop from the passenger seat and passed it to him.

"Benjamin, continue to call Thalia for me," ordered Anthony while turning on the computer.

Benjamin inclined his head a fraction and took out his phone to continue calling Thalia.

At that moment, Denise was watching from the sidelines as Anthony began to track Thalia's location. Nevertheless, a few minutes later, Anthony furrowed his brows in frustration. "What happened?" came Denise's question.

"The location of Thalia's phone shows that she's at the hospital," cooed Anthony.

A pucker formed between Denise's brows when she heard that statement. "Thalia told me before she left that we should all rendezvous at the hospital." I don't see any issue with her being at the hospital. Anthony did not even look up for a split second. His fingers continued to hit the keyboard ever so rapidly. "But the problem is, her phone's location has remained the same, without even the slightest change." Speaking of which, Denise, for one, was taken aback. "Could it be that Thalia's not moving at all?"

The girl's speculation only served to draw Anthony's attention. "Do you think that's possible?"

Denise had not the gall to consider the worst-case scenarios. Yet, it was not that her choice mattered, anyway. "Generally, if there's no movement coming from a phone, there'll be two possibilities-either the phone's lost or the phone owner is..."

Benjamin put away his phone and chimed in, "Given Thalia's skills, the latter seems unlikely." As he spoke, he eyed the duo and went on, "No one answered the phone."

Both of them actually agreed with Benjamin's opinion.

"Let me take another look," were Anthony's words.

At that very juncture, Denise parted her lips and voiced, "Say, could Magus possibly be conspiring with that person against Thalia?"

As soon as she dropped her point of view, both Anthony and Benjamin directed their line of sight at her.

"What's the matter? I was simply making a wild guess..."

"What makes you think so, though?"

"I don't know, but that's how dramas would normally play out on TV, right?" murmured Denise softly.

Rebuttal eluded Anthony.

With his gaze glued on the girl, Anthony spoke again. "Yesterday, Magus was still urging Thalia to take Lina away, and we're all aware of the deep hatred between Magus and Lindon. So, it's they would join forces to scheme against Thalia. Besides, Lindon has no grudge against Thalia, so he doesn't need to do such a thing."

Denise listened to his judgment and nodded in agreement.

The boy then offered a hypothesis. "There must've been some kind of accident."

"I'll keep calling her," Benjamin blurted out and took out his phone to continue dialing Thalia's number.

While Anthony continued to check if the phone's location had changed, he hacked into the hospital's security system at the same time to replace whether there was anything worth capturing.

very likely that

Denise merely observed him as he worked his fingers all over the keyboard, tapping away at the keys. However, as she continued to watch, her attention was abruptly drawn to the watch on Anthony's wrist.

That's it!

"Tony, the watch!" she shouted.

Anthony came to his senses. His gaze fell on his watch, and his eyes darkened slightly. "Oh, right! I almost forgot about this."

Being overly reliant on computers, he had often overlooked the presence of those watches.

Anthony tapped his watch a couple of times, and then the watch's location was projected onto the computer. He made a search, and soon, the location was displayed. "Got it," pronounced Anthony.

Right at that moment, Benjamin and Denise leaned closer. "Where's she?"

Anthony inspected the location with his eyebrows furrowed. "I don't know where this place is, but it's not far from the hospital."

Miguel, who focused on driving, heard that, thus suggesting, "Master, send me the location."

"Sure," replied Anthony and shared the location then and there. Simultaneously, he did not choose to stay idle as he continued to search the area.

Noticing the position of the watch constantly moving within a small range, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. At least, he could be sure that Thalia was safe and sound. With that thought, he felt even more at ease.

"Tony, still no one's answering."

Then came Anthony's guess. "She must've accidentally left her phone at the hospital. Let's not call anymore; we'll just head there and see for ourselves." Benjamin bobbed his head.

With that, they drove straight toward the displayed location.

As they were fast approaching, Anthony sneaked a peek at an abandoned factory ahead and spoke softly. "Miguel, don't drive the car too close. We might attract attention. Just stop here where it's relatively secluded."

"Noted," responded Miguel. On the heels of that, he stopped the car right where it was.

Just as they were about to get out of the car, Miguel turned to them and exhorted, "Master, why don't you all wait in the car first while I'll go take a look and let you know later?"

Upon hearing that, Anthony frowned. "But you're all alone..."

"If there really is something, I can get away faster on my own," explained Miguel.

Ultimately, Anthony gave his approval. "Fine."

"If there are no issues, I'll give you guys a signal, and then you can get out of the car," advised Miguel.

Anthony nodded. "Be careful, you."

"Don't worry." Miguel flashed smiled and alighted the car.

At that time, the triplets sat quietly in the car, waiting.

All their gazes followed Miguel, and none of them had the courage to let their guard down for even a moment.

Benjamin looked around in all directions and even above their heads to see if there was anything suspicious.

It was not that he was afraid, but rather that they did not know what had actually happened. It was only a fear of the unknown. No matter what, they had no intention of backing down.

Anthony, for one, had his gaze closely on Miguel at all times, gauging the distance the latter had covered. After Miguel had walked about a hundred meters, Anthony fished out his phone and dialed Miguel's number.
