Chapter 136 - 136. Feeling Very Worried

"May I know your father's name, friend?" Leo asked in a slightly whispering voice.

At that moment, Dave just turned his face and looked at the man, "I don't know, Uncle. My mom said she'll tell me when I grow up," Dave replied with all her innocence.

"Really? Your mother says like that?"

"Um," Dave nodded in agreement.

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Leo's face.

It was now evening, Anna slowly got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Naila contacted her a few minutes ago, although the girl said that she needn't worry, but that doesn't mean she can calm down.

After a nap, now feeling very refreshed, the first time she had slept so soundly during the day in years, she didn't know who brought her back to the room, maybe Carlos? No one knows, whoever it was she was very grateful.

The faint orange glow on the western horizon was a sign that soon darkness would come. Her heartbeat is faster as the clock ticked.

Tomorrow, it will start moving. An incessant sigh escaped her lips.

After changing into new and more comfortable clothes, Anna returned to where she used to be when she was in the room. Standing by the window with her eyes fixed on the garden and courtyard of the mansion below.

It seems that since living in that luxurious building, that place has become one of her favorites when she is in the room.

The atmosphere down there was still the same as usual, not changing one bit. As if nothing was happening.

Glancing at the clock in her room, it was already past five. Anna then turned to leave the room.

"Good afternoon madam," Carlos greeted as usual.

"Um, where's Elena?" she asked.

"I don't know, madam. Maybe you can call her using the phone in your room," Carlos replied.

"Ah, yes. I forgot," Anna turned back and entered the room without closing the door.

Immediately she approached the phone that was on the nightstand, called Elena to come and see her immediately.

Only a few minutes later, a knock on the door that was left half-open was heard.

"Come in," said Anna, at this time the woman was sitting on the sofa near the bedroom window, facing the door where Elena appeared and was now walking towards her.

"Is there anything I can help you with, madam?" asked Elena after saluting her?

"Why hasn't my son returned yet? I've also tried to call Naila but the number is off," Anna asked directly without further ado.

"T-that..."

"You didn't hear from the bodyguards who escorted them? I'm just worried because it's getting late and they haven't come back yet," said Anna immediately cutting Elena's words, the expression on her face at this time seemed very worried, as if what she said was true.

Instantly Elena looked dazed, "Th-that, you just wait for madam, maybe they have a problem on the way home? Don't worry, they will be fine. I will also try to contact one of the men who escorted them," replied Elena slightly stammered.

Anna who saw the woman's response cheered inwardly, apparently, Elena refused to tell her what happened.

"I hope so too, I hope they come back soon," said Anna.

"Well then, why don't you contact them now? I want to hear firsthand where they are and what is going on, why they haven't come back yet," she added.

Elena who heard Anna's words immediately choked up, "M-my cell phone is downstairs, madam. Then I'll go down first and call them and then come back to tell you."

"No need, you can use my cellphone. Ah yes, didn't you call Naila earlier? What did she say? Where are they? I just called her but her contact is off, maybe her cellphone is low battery," said Anna.

"B-but, you have no contact…"

"No problem," Anna interrupted again. If that's the only thing, then it doesn't mean she can't do the same right?

"Carlos," she shouted, and immediately the owner of the name appeared behind the door.

"Yes, madam? Did you call me? Do you need anything?"

"You have the contacts of your friends who are escorting my son?" she asked.

"O-oh, of course, madam," said Carlos, immediately taking out a flat object from her pocket. The man didn't even notice the code given by Elena because her gaze was only focused on Anna.

"Now call him!" asked Anna.

"Okay Madam," Carlos replied immediately following the woman's words.

Hearing that, Anna leaned back on the sofa while waiting. Even though she already knew what she was going to hear later, she still asked them to do it.

Would not the situation be different when she learned the news of Naila and Dave's disappearance from those people?

It's impossible for her to suddenly become hysterical and cause chaos for no apparent reason?

"How?" Anna asked Carlos.

"Not connected, madam."

"Try again," said Anna.

"Okay," Carlos nodded repeating what he had just done.

"Still the same madam."

Anna sighed harshly, "Try calling the others."

"Didn't they give you any news either, Elena?" Anna asked again turning her gaze to Elena.

"N-no, madam."

"What time is it? They probably haven't come back yet. Don't they think I'm really worried?" said Anna in a voice that was louder than usual.

"What if something happened without me knowing?" she babbled continuously.

While on the other hand, Carlos tried to contact his other friends.

"Have they still not answered your call?" Anna asked when she saw the man's movements.

"Sorry madam, I'll try one more time," Carlos replied.

Anna just nodded. An incessant sigh escaped her lips.

Until a few minutes later, the same thing still happened. No one answered the call from Carlos.

"What exactly are they doing? Naila's contact was not active and the bodyguards didn't give any news either," said Anna in a voice that sounded worried.

"Don't worry too much madam, they must be on their way..."

"You're asking me not to worry? Huh, how easy. You're just not in my position," Anna cut in, her voice rising.

"Calm down, madam. I'll keep trying to contact them," Carlos said.

"I can't calm down, Carlos, they've been gone too long and it's even past the time I've set for home."
