Chapter 10
The assistant stared at the man in front of him for a long time before finally responding and turning to leave, just in time to bump into Emily, who was standing at the door.
“Mrs. Foster.”
The assistant quickly called out to Emily, which drew the man’s attention away from the desk.
Daniel’s expression shifted slightly. He grabbed a blanket from the back of a nearby chair and walked toward Emily.
“Why are you awake? Are you cold? Has the baby been bothering you?”
As Daniel draped the blanket over Emily’s shoulders and warmed her hands, Emily smiled slightly at the corner of her eye, but her words were full of concern.
“I couldn’t sleep without you. I thought I’d come check on you.”
“Just now, I heard you talking to the assistant about Sarah. How could she have gone abroad? Was it because of
me…?”
By the end of her sentence, Emily’s eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, feeling guilty.
Startled, Daniel hurriedly pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head.
“How could it be because of you? She’s just a child throwing a tantrum. Don’t worry about her.”
But there was still unease in Emily’s eyes. She grabbed the hem of his shirt and looked up at his eyes.
“But after all, she’s someone the Miller family entrusted to your care. What if something happens to her?”
Daniel rubbed her wet eyelid, his tone growing colder. “If something happens, it’s just a lesson for her.”
“She needs to stop running around all the time.”
Emily hadn’t expected Daniel to be so indifferent towards Sarah. Her smug smile could no longer be hidden. She quickly lowered her head, leaned against his chest, and a sinister smile crept onto her lips.
“Sarah, you’d better never come back.”
Daniel said he didn’t care, but secretly, he was still sending people to search for Sarah’s whereabouts. But every time he asked if they had found her, the answer was always no.
The first week, the answer was still no.
The first month, the answer was still no.
After the assistant carefully delivered the news, Daniel’s body stiffened in his office chair. He sat there for a long time before finally waving his hand, signaling the assistant to continue searching.

Once the assistant left and closed the door, Daniel wearily leaned back in his chair. He rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the growing frustration.
He had once naively thought that Sarali’s departure was just a tantrum because he married Emily. But after all this time he still couldn’t find any trace of her.
In that moment, he suddenly remembered something from long ago Sarah repeatedly telling him she didn’t like him. He even recalled how, years ago, Sarah had told his mother that she wanted to stay far away from him.
At the time, he had believed she loved him so much that she would never leave and go abroad, so he hadn’t taken her words seriously.
Now, her words were the only truth he hadn’t taken seriously.
Daniel dropped his hand and looked at the desk in front of him. In the corner of the desk, there was supposed to be a photo of him and Sarah.
But after Sarah confessed her feelings to him, he had thrown that photo in the trash and replaced it with a wedding photo of him and Emily.
Daniel looked around. This office, once filled with Sarah’s presence, was now empty, just like Sarah herself.
He stared at the corner for a long time before finally picking up his phone to call Sarah’s father.
Sarah had been entrusted to him by her father. If something had happened to Sarah, he would have to face the
consequences.
But just as the phone connected, before he could say anything, a cold female voice came from the other end.
“I’m sorry, the number you’ve dialed is no longer in service…”
“Buzz!”
Daniel’s mind went blank, and a terrible premonition quickly spread from the pit of his stomach!
His hand, still gripping the phone, stiffened before slowly lowering it.
Just then, the assistant returned, holding a large package.
“Mr. Foster, there’s a delivery for you. The person who brought it said you must open it yourself.”
Daniel was stunned. He stared at the box for a long time before allowing the assistant to place it on the desk in front
of him.
As he touched the rope tying the box, his heart suddenly started pounding violently.
He had a feeling that if he opened this box, he would be dragged into an endless abyss.
Daniel hesitated for a moment. In the end, his clenched fist loosened, and slowly, he untied the rope.
