Chapter 587: The Man in the Dark
-Chief, contact has been established and we can go there now. They've left the door to the secret passage open, so you can now drive there and get treatment right away.
Once the man hung up the phone, he spoke to Xavier.
Xavier had repeatedly ordered him to go quickly, so the man contacted the nearest clinic. From the looks of the little boy, he wasn't in very good shape and, if he didn't hurry, he wouldn't be able to eat. Xavier looked away from the man's body after hearing his words, with a slightly questioning look.
-How long does it take to get from here now?
The time that matters to him is not the time that matters to him, what kind of clinic is it.
-It's probably less than ten minutes.
Without even thinking about it, the man answered Xavier.
Xavier heard him just in time, but little Daniel in his arms seemed to grow weaker and weaker. He looked down at the little boy and felt more than a little panic.
Even though he had found little Daniel, if he had died in his arms, Xavier would not have been able to explain himself to Mariana.
The most important thing is that this child is still so young and has so many good years ahead of him, how can he just die just like that?
-Well, you're doing well.
When the man answered, he sped up the car.
Mariana was alone in the park, looking for her son. No matter how hidden the corner was, she had to go up and take a look, followed by Leopoldo and Leopoldo's men.
-Son, where the hell are you? Mom is here to see you, don't scare mom, it's all mom's fault. If you come out, I promise I'll never let you out of my sight again.... -Mariana hummed as she looked for him, wishing she could say that for a minute. The next moment, her son would be back in front of her.
But not everything was as simple as he thought. No matter how much he yelled or screamed, there was no sign of Daniel.
-It's over, it's over...
Mariana suddenly sat with her whole body on the floor, feeling a foreboding in her heart. She always had the feeling that her son had been murdered.
The mere thought of such a thing terrified her inside. Although she didn't want to think about it, the thought couldn't stop running through her.
-Mariana, will you calm down? We have a chance now, and not being unaccounted for is probably for the best.
Leopoldo looked at the woman in front of him and his heart ached.
He also felt helplessness in his heart in the face of such a picture. The omnipotent president of Grupo Durán? When it came down to it, he couldn't be of much use.
-Aren't you Leopoldo? Will you help me find my son? As long as you help me find her, I will listen to you in everything, in everything....
Mariana suddenly put her hope in Leopoldo. Wasn't this man omnipotent? How hard could it be to help her find her son?
But the more she heard Mariana say this, the more Leopoldo's heart ached.
-Mr. Durán, we have searched everywhere and there is still no trace of the young man.
A group of people went up and down the hospital, but they still did not see Daniel Gu.
Leopoldo was furious when he heard his subordinate say this.
-Keep looking for him, and don't rest until you have found the man alone. If you find him once don't find him twice, if you don't find him twice, find him three times, and don't stop until you find him," Leopoldo spoke without thinking.
But for Mariana there was no consolation. The only news she wanted to hear now was the whereabouts of her son.
-Why? Why? My son has disappeared..." she said to herself, feeling as if she were alone.
She said to herself, feeling very disconcerted mentally. For a moment, it was impossible to guess what had moved Daniel's mind.
Suddenly, he thought of his own attitude towards the two women when he had brought Diana the food. Perhaps Perla had a grudge against him for his bad attitude and that was why he had hit on her son. Leopoldo saw the panicked woman and hurried to follow her.
-Have you found any new clues? -Leopoldo hastened to ask, speaking as he followed the woman.
Let her know if you find anything and you can discuss it together.
-I don't know, I'm just guessing," Mariana opened her mouth in response as she moved forward with a flourish.
She really had no evidence other than her own intuition to guess.
In this situation, she had no rationality to speak of either.
Leopoldo realized who the woman was going to see as he followed Mariana up the stairs.
Mariana pushed open the door to Juan's room and burst in.
Juan, sitting on the hospital bed, was not expecting Mariana's return at all. His face was sad and he was worried about Daniel's situation.
-How is everything going?
After seeing the woman enter the room, Juan asked her anxiously.
The two of them had been looking for so long that they should have more or less had a clue. He's just a child, how come so many adults can't find him.
But Mariana's attention wasn't even on Juan's body. Instead, she straightened up and headed in Perla's direction.
Perla looked uncertain, her face unusually puzzled.
-I have something to ask you," Mariana looked at Perla in front of her, not caring whether Juan was there or not, much less the tone of her voice. Other than Perla, she couldn't think of anyone else who could do that to her son.
Even if Xavier's analysis had merit, Leopoldo was simply not a man to be trifled with, and a normal person wouldn't dare touch anyone near Leopoldo.
-You want to ask me something," Perla pretended not to be afraid at all of any question from the woman.
If Mariana wanted to ask her something, she would simply tell her what it was about. Anyway, Perla was prepared for anything, even if Mariana suspected her, she would only end up disappointed. -Where were you two hours ago? -Mariana questioned Perla like a prisoner on trial.
Her words are directed at Perla and openly distrustful of the woman.
-What do you mean? You think I kidnapped your son, don't you? -Perla looked at Mariana very impressed by the other woman's brain. It seemed that this woman was, well, a little smarter than she thought if she thought. But it also seemed too silly to ask her that directly.
