My Most Precious Wife

Chapter 418 He'S Fine

“Grandpa!”

Emily suddenly woke up.

She looked at the time. It was twelve in the evening.

Grandpa hadn’t returned yet, neither did Joseph. They were all out.

Wendy and Hunter also disappeared, along with Sasha.

Everyone seemed to have vanished.

After sleeping for two hours, Emily could no longer sleep. She lifted the blanket and got up.

She looked at the phone on the bedside table.

Until now, she had not contacted him, nor had he sent her a single word.

Actually, she knew very well that even if she called him, he might not be willing to speak to her.

After all, all he cared about now was Wendy.

Moreover, no one knew if he and Wendy were plotting anything in private.

However, if she didn’t look for him, she really didn’t know who she could turn to right now!

She took out her phone and landed her gaze on the familiar number. The next minute, she was about

to click on it with her slender finger.

But she hesitated again.

After thinking for a while, she called Joseph. She said, “Joseph, how is it now?”

“Nothing new. Don’t worry, Wendy won’t do anything to Grandpa. Our people are still looking for him.”

It was impossible for Emily to not worry about Grandpa.

But now that there was no news from Joseph, her worries would be useless.

She hung up the phone and stared at Hunter’s number.

Not knowing how long had passed, she finally made up her mind and clicked on the number.

Very soon, Hunter picked up the phone, saying “What’s the matter?”

His voice was deep as usual. It sounded that he was still clear-headed, not sleepy at all.

It had past twelve o’clock. Was he still working?

“Hunter, have you been with Wendy all day?”

Emily tried her best to make her voice calm, even though her palms were already sweating.

“Yes.” His response was ambiguous yet mysterious, just like his personality.

“Then where is she now?”

“No idea.”

Emily didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or merely didn’t want to talk to her.

But somehow, she felt that she should trust him.

He may have treated her badly, but at least he disdained to lie.

“When you separated with her, did she say anything about what she wanted to do?”

“No.” It was still a simple reply, and after that, silence filled the air.

Emily couldn’t find any other way. He said that he didn’t know, and she could only believe him. It was

impossible to get more information from him.

“Then…”

“Where are you now?” This was the first time Hunter took the initiative to speak to her tonight.

“I’m at the Gale’s House,” Emily replied honestly.

Hunter said that he was planning to stay at the Gale’s House, too. But he was Hunter, so he didn’t need

to greet her when he went out.

However, she was different. She was alone in City L. If Hunter didn’t have any special arrangements for

her, she could only stay at the Gale’s House.

After that, Hunter fell silent again.

In the end, Emily whispered, “Hunter, I’ll hang up first. It’s too late…”

“He’s fine.”

Before Emily could figure out what this meant, a beeping sound came from her phone. Hunter hung up

the call.

She dialed again, but Hunter had shut down his phone.

What did he mean?

Did he mean Grandpa or not?

But why didn’t he make it clear? Was Grandpa really fine?

Emily hesitated for a moment and immediately called Joseph.

“Why aren’t you sleeping? Don’t worry, Grandfather will be fine. You should rest early.”

Receiving her call, Joseph knew that Emily must be too worried to sleep.

Emily immediately said, “I just called Hunter. He said … he said he was fine.”

“He was fine?” Joseph didn’t understand. He wasn’t worried about whether Hunter was in trouble or

not.

“No, he said he was fine.”

Emily did not know how to explain, but Hunter did not say who he was referring to.

“Joseph, I don’t know how to explain. I asked him if he knew where Wendy was. He said no. He also

admitted having been with her today. Afterwards…”

The conversation that followed was a little strange.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “After a long silence, he asked me where I was. I said I was

at the Gale’s House, and then there was silence again.”

Ordinary people really couldn’t understand this kind of silence.

However, Joseph could.

He could judge from Emily and Hunter’s relationship that there was either quarrel or silence between

them. After all, they were together now.

Either for Hunter or for Emily, no one wanted to hang up the phone first.

“Anyway, in the end, he said that he was fine. After that, he hung up the phone.”

“I see,” Joseph nodded. He continued to search the boundless sea.

“In that case, Hunter probably knows where Grandfather is. It’s just that he didn’t want to tell you.”

“However, don’t worry. I believe that Hunter will not lie to you. If he said that Grandfather was fine, then

he would be fine.”

At the very least, Grandfather should be fine for the time being.

“Joseph, where are you now? We can’t get through Hunter on the phone now. What are you guys going

to do next?”

Hearing what Hunter said, Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much more at ease.

However, she still didn’t know where Grandpa was. No one could relax before he is found.

“I went out to the sea.”

Joseph walked out of the deck. Under the sea breeze, even his voice was a little blurred.

“We seem to have found some clues left behind by Wendy. They are heading in the direction of the

high seas.”

“However, the high seas are still far away from my current location. We need to sail for at least half a

day. In addition, I’m not sure about Grandfather’s specific location. It’s not easy to find a boat in the

vast ocean.”

“You said that Wendy left a clue?”

Emily couldn’t help but feel that this matter is a little strange.

“I know that Wendy may have intentionally lured me, but Grandfather is obviously in her hands now.

Even if it’s a trap, I have to go.”

Joseph had no choice.

Previously, he could still trust his own judgment that Wendy would not harm Grandfather.

But now, after knowing that they had been to the high seas, Joseph could no longer trust himself.

The high seas were a place where pirates frequented.

If Wendy really lured them there, thins would get nasty. Wendy didn’t even have to make a move. The

pirates would find them.

If so, it would be very difficult for them to return alive.

Right now, he was really worried.

“Joseph…”

“I know what you’re trying to say, but you should know what your current situation is.”

He couldn’t use much help of a pregnant woman.

“You can stay at home peacefully. Only in this way can I be rest assured. Also,” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Joseph thought for a while before saying, “Wendy has lured me away. It is very likely that she has

already taken action against the Gale Group. I need you to talk to my mother tomorrow and tell her

what you know. She will help you.”

Emily took a breath and finally nodded, saying, “Alright, I know what to do.”

She hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was half past twelve.

She wondered if Lottie was asleep.

Just as she was about to take a look, her phone rang.

An unknown number!

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat!

She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. “Hello.”

“Emily,” Wendy said in a joyful voice, “Want to know where your grandfather is? Come out now. I want

to see you.”
