Snare of Love

Chapter 829 I’m Not Sick

When Armand rushed to the place, Bertha was still anxiously asking the passers-by in the park.

Elizabeth was missing under her care. She was afraid of taking responsibility, so she almost cried out

of anxiousness.

Armand walked over to her quickly, “Have you searched the whole place?”

“Yes, I’ve looked everywhere, but I still couldn’t find her. Her legs are too weak to walk, how can she

just disappear like that?” Bertha felt extremely apprehensive. She said anxiously, “Her legs are not

strong, how could she have disappeared so quickly?”

“How long has she been missing?” Armand asked.

“Not more than an hour.” Bertha was afraid that something would happen to her, so she informed

Armand in the first place. Hence, the time was not very long.

If an adult was missing in less than 24 hours, the police would not file the case. “Let’s split up to find

her. You go home and see. Contact me through the phone if you found her.:

Bertha said, “Okay, I’ll go back now.”

Armand was quite calm. After he instructed Bertha to go home, he went to find the management office.

The park belonged to the community management team. All the entrances and exits had installed

cameras, so he went to check on the security footage.

When they heard that someone in the community was missing, they were very enthusiastic and helped

to find it. Bertha said that Elizabeth was missing for less than an hour. Hence, checking the footage

within this period was not a difficult task.

Soon, they found the figure of Elizabeth in the footage.

Elizabeth rolled her wheelchair out of the park when Bertha went to buy some cakes. It could be

determined that Elizabeth was not in the park anymore, so Armand went outside the park to look for

her.

A few people from the community management team helped him to look for Elizabeth.

“Let’s split up and search.” Armand said, “Her legs are weak, so she wouldn’t go too far.”

Three or four of them split up to look for her.

An hour passed by and there was no sign of Elizabeth. One of the men said, “Is it possible that she

went somewhere else? Otherwise, why did she leave the park by herself all of a sudden?”

This person’s words struck Armand’s mind. Elizabeth was not in this neighbourhood, so she must have

gone somewhere else, but Elizabeth seldom interacted with people. The relatives had to stop

contacting them because of his parents, so she would not have gone to anyone’s home.

Now, there was nowhere to continue the search. He could only give every place a try. He went to their

previous house, the place where he lived before he graduated. The house that they were living in now

was bought by Armand after he earn some money when he became a lawyer.

This place was very shabby already and not many people lived here. The wires were shuttled in a

complicated manner, clothes were hanging outside the windows. Underwear and socks could be seen

everywhere, and there was no cleanliness at all.

Armand went to the house, but he didn’t see her. He held his phone with Elizabeth’s picture displaying

on the screen and asked if anyone saw her. Everyone said they did not see her at all.

After making sure that she was not there, he got into the car and began to feel more and more anxious.

She was not here, where could she be?

He started the car, turned around and headed back. When he passed by the school he used to go to,

where the old campus had been abandoned, he seemed to see Elizabeth’s figure in front of the big

steel gate.

He stopped the car and looked back. He saw that it was indeed Elizabeth in front of the gate. He got

out of the car immediately and walked to her.

“Why did you come here?’ Armand felt a sudden relief because he was glad to find her. However, he

felt angry that she ran away on her own without informing anyone, which made everybody so worried

about her.

Elizabeth turned around and said with a smile, “You’re out of school? I’ve come to pick you up after

school.”

“What are you talking about?” Armand frowned, they had not been living here for a long time already.

“I…” Elizabeth became confused again, “What do I want to do just now?”

“Let’s go home.” Armand pushed her wheelchair.

Suddenly, Elizabeth slapped her thigh, “I came to find you! There’s a sports competition in your school

today, so I came to see you compete.”

Elizabeth’s words startled Armand. What was wrong with her?

After they got into the car, Armand called Bertha to stop looking for Elizabeth because he had already

found her, “Inform the management team to stop looking.”

Bertha said she got it.

Armand sent Elizabeth home and Bertha said thankfully, “Luckily she is found, otherwise I would have

been scared to death.”

Armand pushed Elizabeth back to her room.

Then, he called Bertha to the living room.

“Has grandma behaved abnormally lately?”

Bertha thought carefully, “It seems that there is no abnormal behaviour… but it’s not totally normal.

Sometimes, she will forget the things that she told me to do.”

Bertha seemed to have thought of something. She said, “This is not my first time taking care of the

elderly. I’ve met some elderly who have the same condition as her, where they will constantly forget

things. Maybe…”

“Don’t say it. I will take her to the hospital for a checkup.” Armand knew what she wanted to say, but he

refused to believe it. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Although he was angry and pissed off by her stubbornness, he did not want her to get sick at all.

“Armand, you have to treat Theresa better. Why don’t see her recently?” Elizabeth pushed her

wheelchair out of the room.

Armand looked at her and clenched his fists, “Grandma, what are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you get married to Theresa? You have to treat her well. Phoebe is not a good woman. She left

you because she thinks that we are poor. I hate her. Now that you are married to Theresa, you have to

treat her well and have a child quickly.” Elizabeth seemed to be talking confusingly, but Armand

understood everything she said.

She was talking about different topics at a time, so she was not normal.

Armand took her to the hospital. He took a rug and covered her legs. Then, he pushed her out of the

door.

“Where are you taking me?”

Elizabeth asked.

“To the hospital,” Armand said.

Elizabeth tilted her head and looked at him, “Are you sick?”

Armand said, “No, it’s not me, it’s you.”

Elizabeth got agitated all of a sudden, “I’m not sick. I’m fine. I’m not going to the hospital.”

“It's better to go and check.”

“I’m not going, I’m not sick.” Elizabeth pulled on the door frame and wouldn’t let go.
