No one responded despite Charlotte calling out for a long while.
She was very nervous and had every subordinate with her join the search; so, only Louis remained with
her.
Louis comforted her as he searched. “Charlotte, don’t panic. We’ll find her. Everyone in the manor is our
people. The child will be fine.”
“What am I supposed to tell Danrique if anything happens to the child?” Charlotte was panicking. “I
shouldn’t have gone back alone. I should’ve brought them along with me.”
“Don’t be like that, Charlotte. It’ll be fine.” Louis’ heart ached for Charlotte. “I’ll ask for more help.”
He was about to inform his subordinate but soon realized nobody else was there. They probably went
searching at other places.
“Charlotte, I didn’t have my phone with me. I’ll go call for some help.”
Louis was about to head back and look for more help when he noticed a small accessory on the ground
in the bush beside him. He picked it up urgently and examined it. It was a star-shaped hair clip.
He immediately called, “Charlotte, come over here and see if this belongs to Alpha.”
Charlotte ran over and examined the hair clip. “This is Alpha’s hairclip. Where did you find it?”
“Over there.” Louis led Charlotte over to the place where he found the accessory.
There was a small shoe print beside the bush. It probably belonged to Alpha. There weren’t any other
shoeprints there besides hers. And there was no abnormality with it.
Charlotte’s anxiety increased. She immediately phoned Lupine. “I need you to release Fifi.”
“Got it.” Lupine instantly went to arrange.
Sometimes, animals were capable of carrying certain tasks humans couldn’t do.
Fifi could sniff out Alpha’s location by the scent lingering on her clothes.
“It has started raining.” Louis stretched his hand outward to catch the raindrop.
Charlotte looked up at the dark sky, and soon fat water droplets dripped onto her face.
“Charlotte, you should find shelter, and I’ll continue searching.”
Louis took off his coat and covered Charlotte with it.
“I can’t rest now.”
Charlotte continued staring at the sky. Fifi had flown over from the hot spring resort.
Charlotte whistled. Hearing the sharp sound, Fifi immediately flew in her direction. It picked up the
accessory in Charlotte’s hand and took off searching for Alpha.
Louis was baffled by the entire scene. Fearsome screams sounded not far away.
Charlotte turned in the direction, and Louis replied, “The screams belong to the maids. They were
probably shocked by Fifi. It’s fine.”
“You should head back first.”
Charlotte followed after Fifi.
“I’ll be right behind you.” Louis followed.
“Louis…” Diana yelled.
Louis didn’t turn his head but increased his pace to trail after Charlotte.
The rain got heavier, and soon Charlotte was drenched. But that was the last thing on her mind at that
moment. All she wanted was Alpha to be found.
Charlotte was a fast runner. Louis almost lost her.
Luckily, she stopped in front of a cabin. Perching on the roof was Fifi.
Charlotte barged in the door. “Alpha!”
Alpha was sitting in a corner, holding an adorable rabbit in her arms. She was drenched from the rain,
shivering from the cold, and curled up in fear.
She raised her head, hearing Charlotte’s voice. “Aunt Charlotte!”
“Alpha!” Charlotte rushed to Alpha’s side with her arms wide and embraced the latter. “You scared me to
death. Let me see. Are you hurt anywhere?”
Charlotte looked her up and down.
“I’m fine, Aunt Charlotte.” Alpha sniffled. “I was playing hide-and-seek with Beta and Gamma. But I saw
this cute bunny. So I chased after it. After a while, I realized I was lost. Then, it started to rain, so I came
inside for shelter.”
“Good girl.” Charlotte ran her fingers through Alpha’s messy hair. “I’ll take you home.”
