Chapter 1001 Have They Forgotten Him?

After Evelyn disappeared, the progress of the case was delayed. Although there was sufficient evidence, considering other problems, Huston did not go to court.

Although Huston did not disclose this matter, Matt still felt that something was amiss. Something must have happened for him to be unable to attend to such an important task. However, no matter how many times he asked, Huston remained silent.

Lucas had been staying with Lucy and Ben recently. Considering that they were old, the driver would come to pick Lucas up every day.

There had been no news of them for more than a week. Lucas began to ask Lucy and Ben, "Grandma, Grandpa, when will my mom come back?"

The two elders did not know how to answer Lucas. They knew that they were on a business trip and could not get in touch with them. Just as they were about to get anxious, Grace came over to comfort them, saying that it was inconvenient for him to contact the outside world since Huston was handling a case.

Although the two elders felt that it was inappropriate, they had no choice but to comfort Lucas. "Mom and Dad are abroad. They will come to see you after they are done with their work. They will bring you a lot of gifts."

In the first few days, Lucas was happy to hear the gifts, but as time went by, he became more and more listless. "I don't want gifts. I want my parents to accompany me."

"Good boy, Lucas. Don't you have grandma and grandpa to play with you?"

Lucas pursed his lips. He was afraid that Lucy would be sad if he said anything else, so he went into the room alone.

Ben sighed. "The two of them have no end to their work. What's the point of leaving the child here!"

"Both of them are busy with work. It's just that Huston has just returned to the law firm and can't get away from it." Lucy didn't agree with this approach. "When they come back, I have to talk with them." When Lucas entered the room and looked at the toys and picture albums on the table, he was still unhappy. He had always liked to be clean, but he didn't even take off his shoes and lay straight on the bed. Although his parents were busy and couldn't accompany him sometimes, he could see them every day for breakfast, dinner, and sleep. Now they didn't come to see him for more than a week. Had they forgotten him?

In the daytime, Lucas didn't dare to show too much sadness, for fear of making his grandparents worried. Now, he was alone and couldn't help but feel wronged. He blinked his big eyes and shed two lines of clear tears.

The child's fragile and sensitive mood was shattered by this yearning. He turned over and lay on the pillow, crying silently.

This time, the place where Hawk chose to transfer with Evelyn was extremely hidden. The previous location of the villa was already remote, and there were many uninhabited jungles in the east. These tall woods formed a natural shelter, and they were also the favorite places for all kinds of criminals. Once they entered this area, it would be difficult to find them.

But the order had been issued domestically, hoping to find the hostage in the shortest possible time and safely rescue her.

The police of Yazton had no choice but to use all kinds of high-tech investigation methods and even sent military drones to help investigate the situation in the deep forest.

For the next two days, there was no news at all. Huston had not slept at all. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see Evelyn suffering. He had only looked at the video once, and it was torture for him to look at it again.

Who could watch his beloved woman being tortured, let alone such a proud man?
