219 Elena’s kidnapping

Elena’s disappearance caused a big stir in the hospital. Doctor Jasmine, who had just returned from the cafeteria, was the first to notice Elena’s disappearance in the treatment room where she was.

Christian and Jack, who were so panicked, ordered all of their men to look for Elena all over the country, while Erick and Kainer went straight to the CCTV control room to see what happened while she was unconscious.

“How?” Christian asks breathlessly.

“Nothing, sir,” Kainer replied from the operator’s bench. “All the footage from the past thirty minutes is gone, from the room where Miss Elena is being treated to the way to the basement they’re all gone.”

Christian’s hands are clenched into fists. “Elena did not run away alone, right? There must be someone to help her. Let alone walking, she can’t even get out of bed.”

“But we really didn’t find anything, young master,” Erick answered quietly, reiterating what Kainer had said earlier. “Whoever brought Miss Elena away from the hospital must not be a random person, everything is so very neat and tidy.”

“Elena...”

“Don’t worry, sir. We’ve done a massive search of all vital objects, from hospitals, small clinics, stations, terminals to airports,” said Erick again trying to calm Christian who looked so panicked. “Luxembourg is not a big country, we will definitely find Miss Elena soon.”

Christian who was the last person to wake up then closed his eyes, he really couldn’t breathe properly at this time. Seeing Elena’s empty treatment room made him feel like he was dreaming for a moment, he couldn’t believe that the room was empty. Whereas before, Elena had been so critical.

.....

Luckily, the baby was still in the incubator. Christian would really go crazy if he lost both of them. With lips tightly locked, Christian walks towards his child’s treatment room which is currently being closely guarded by his subordinates.

“How’s Christ?” asked Anne quickly. “Can Kainer and Erick find a clue?”

Christian who was staring at the princess who was sleeping in the incubator, shook his head slowly. “They didn’t find anything, everything was clean.”

“Jesus Christ...”

Jack, who was sitting on the chair, lowered his head deeply, he really didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen. After knowing the fact that Elena is innocent, now he must be faced with the fact of Elena’s mysterious disappearance.

“I haven’t even had a chance to apologize to her in person, Mom,” Christian sobs softly. “I haven’t gotten an apology from her yet.”

“Honey...”

“Looks like God is punishing me for everything I’ve done to Elena these past few months.” Christian who was already sitting on the floor with his cheeks wet again with tears spoke in a voice trembling with regret. “God is punishing me, Mom.”

Anne, who couldn’t bear to hear Christian’s words filled with guilt, then knelt down and immediately hugged her son tightly to provide moral support.

“God is mad at me, Mom...God is mad at me...”

“No, don’t talk like that, honey. Mommy please don’t talk like that.” Anne tightens her arms around Christian tightly. “God can’t be angry with you, we will definitely find Elena soon. Don’t worry.”

Christian did not answer his mother’s words, he was already dissolved in such great regret. The feeling of regret that made his chest feel so tight. Only thirty minutes ago he saw Elena still lying on her bed, but now the room was empty, as if Elena had never been there. Not a single trace of Elena was left there.

Jack who was sitting slowly got up from his seat when he saw Erick coming closer, using a non-verbal code Jack asked Erick to go away from Christian and Anne to talk one-on-one.

“How, is there a possibility that the one who took Elena away was her parents’ former workers?”

Erick shook his head slowly. “I don’t think so, sir. That man named Tommy doesn’t have that much ability to sneak up and take Miss Elena away without leaving a trace like this, it’s clear that the person behind this incident is not some ordinary person.”

“Not an ordinary person?”

Erick nodded. “That’s right, sir. Not only did they put us to sleep in a short time, they also deleted all CCTV footage from the basement entrance to this place. Only people with above-average abilities can do all this, sir.”

Jack’s jaw tightened. “Does this have anything to do with them?”

“They? Who do you mean, sir?”

“The person who spoke with Kainer this afternoon,” Jack answered quietly, expressing his suspicions.

“It’s impossible, sir. Miss Elena can’t possibly have a relationship with them, Miss Elena is just an ordinary girl, it doesn’t make sense if she has a relationship with such an organization,” Erick said firmly.

“If it wasn’t them, then who did this? Who would have such an interest in bringing an unconscious woman out of her treatment room?”

Eric shook his head slowly. “For that we must look seriously, sir.”

Slowly Jack turned his face towards Christian who was so devastated by Elena’s disappearance for a few seconds before he finally looked at the room where his little granddaughter was being cared for. “That baby, we have to take extra care of her. I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again, whatever happens she has to stay with us.”

“Yes sir.”

Jack did not respond to Erick’s words because his head suddenly hurt. His whole life he had struggled in the business world that involved many people. It seemed impossible if Elena escaped from the hospital alone, Jack was sure that someone would help Elena get out of the hospital. But who it was and why that person took Elena away were still the biggest questions for Jack right now.

“Whoever they are who has taken Elena away, I will not let them act again,” said Jack to himself. “That baby belongs to the Clarke family, I won’t let anyone take it from us, including Elena herself if she wakes up one day.”
