City Surveillance Center.
Lucille Matthias was standing at the door waiting, and as soon as she saw Vera Wave and the others appear, she immediately instructed the staff to pull out the previous footage for her to review.
Sitting in the chair, carefully watching the video on the screen, Vera watched it over and over again, finally shaking her head.
"No." The elderly person in the surveillance footage was similar in height to Grandma Wave, and their clothes were also quite similar, but Vera still noticed it wasn’t Grandma, "The walking posture isn’t right. Grandma doesn’t hunch over at all; it’s not her."
"It’s okay, we’ll keep looking." Lucille comfortingly patted her shoulder, "It’s getting late. Kris Cooper, take Vera to get something to eat first. I’ll call you when there’s news."
"Okay." Kris Cooper supported Vera’s shoulder, "Let’s go for now."
After thanking Lucille, Vera walked out of the control center with heavy steps.
Outside, twilight had already descended.
Raising her face to look at the gradually brightening streetlights, her heart slowly sank.
It’s almost dark, and she still doesn’t know where Grandma is. There’s not a single clue yet, and what if Irene Spencer...
She dared not imagine what could happen next.
"Vera!" Christoper Cooper walked up to her, "Don’t lose heart, Grandma must be okay right now."
"Yes, Vera, Irene Spencer wants to use Grandma as a hostage to threaten you. She can’t harm Grandma Wave before achieving her goal." Bailey Hansen chimed in to comfort her.
"I know." Vera nodded, forcing a smile, "Let’s go eat first."
For this matter, Christoper Cooper and Bailey were constantly accompanying her and even making calls to find leads. She didn’t want everyone to starve with her.
The group found a small restaurant nearby, and Kris Cooper ordered a few of her favorite dishes.
When the food arrived, Vera didn’t have much appetite.
She understood the reasoning, but with no sign of life or death after such a long time, and not a single clue, how could she be at ease?
Everyone understood her feelings and didn’t force her to eat. Kris Cooper placed a bowl of porridge in front of her.
"Vera, eat a little bit at least. Don’t forget, there’s a child too! Come on, open your mouth."
Blowing on the porridge to cool it, he carefully brought it to her mouth. Vera reached for the bowl, "I’ll eat by myself."
After feeding her a spoonful of porridge, Kris Cooper set the bowl in front of her and gave her some light side dishes.
"Don’t overthink. After dinner, I’ll personally go looking, and even if I have to turn the entire Imperial City upside down, I’ll definitely bring Grandma back for you."
She responded softly, scooped the porridge with the spoon, and took large bites, swallowing it with effort, even though it tasted like wax.
Watching her from across the table, Christoper Cooper and Bailey just shook their heads with heartache.
The group ate a simple meal. Vera managed to drink most of the porridge but had to stop when she couldn’t swallow anymore.
Across from her, Christoper Cooper stood up.
"Kris, you take Vera home. We’ll go check with your Aunt Lucille again."
Bailey walked around the table and supported Vera’s shoulder, "Vera, listen to Mom, go back and rest well. If anything comes up, we’ll call you immediately, okay?"
