Chapter 2518
“Mr.
Payne, we’ve found something.
It’s Mrs.
Payne’s phone in the car!”
While Nathan was deep in thought, someone approached him quickly.
To maintain the integrity of potential evidence, the officer placed the mobile phone in a clear evidence bag and handed it to Nathan.
Nathan accepted it, staring intently at the shattered device.
Clutching the phone, his brow furrowed.
He had tried to call Lucinda multiple times on his way here, only to be informed by an automated message that her phone was out of service, not switched off.
Among the broken pieces, the GPS unit was still intact.
Lonnie should’ve been able to pinpoint Lucinda’s location in the valley.
The more Nathan considered the situation, the more alarmed he became.
“This isn’t Lucinda’s phone,” he murmured.
Someone else had been in Lucinda’s car before the accident.
Lonnie’s heart raced.
“If it’s not Mrs.
Payne’s, then… could she have been abducted?”
They couldn’t be certain until they found Lucinda.
Nathan passed the phone to Lonnie and instructed firmly, “Get a tow truck to bring the car back to the National Security Bureau for a thorough examination.
”
“Yes, sir.

Lonnie offered Nathan the umbrella, but Nathan turned and walked into the pouring rain, appearing isolated at that moment.
Lonnie felt a mix of pity for Nathan and concern for Lucinda.
He followed the instructions and arranged for the tow truck.
Just as Nathan moved away, his phone rang.
He pulled it from his pocket and saw that Kyson was calling.
Gazing at the screen, Nathan’s thoughts drifted.
He didn’t pick up.
With Lucinda missing, a myriad of challenging issues emerged.
Where exactly was Lucinda? Was her disappearance connected to the Perez family tragedy?
Kyson and Sonny were at the laboratory with Colby and Destinee, waiting for any news.
Yet, he still hadn’t located Lucinda.
What should he say to the children?
Nathan stared at his phone screen for a long moment.
Finding his wife was his top priority.
