Timothy’s expression remained stern as he ordered, “Get the person in charge of this ind on the


    line.”


    He needed to locate Ginger as soon as possible.


    After all, he still had her umbre with him!


    In no time, the hotel manager, Matthew Crosby, hurried over. “I apologize, Mr. Barrett. Our staff


    overlooked your identity. I’ll escort you to review the surveince footage right away. Please,e with


    me.”


    Timothy followed Matthew to a nearby lounge, where Matthew set up aptop and brought up the


    surveince footage of the lobby.


    Timothy watched as Ginger skipped into the lobby and then turned toward a staircase, disappearing


    from


    view.


    Matthew furrowed his brow and remarked, “Mr. Barrett, as you know, our hotel has its peculiarities;


    some


    sectionsck surveince coverage.”


    “Could a child easily wander into those areas?”


    “Usually, they shouldn’t have ess to those locations. However, security might have overlooked her


    due to the high number of guests today.


    “But don’t worry, I’ll dispatch someone to search for her right away. You can return to your room and


    rx. I’ll inform you as soon as we have any updates.”


    With that, Timothy exited the lounge and took the elevator directly to his exquisite suite upstairs.


    As he settled onto the sofa, he noticed Heath holding the red umbre.


    Feeling annoyed, he remarked, “Instruct the staff to search the vicinity.”


    “Got it, I’ll immediately coordinate with security to initiate a search.”


    Timothy reclined on the sofa and swiftly dialed Caleb’s number. “Where are you?”


    “I’m currently at the basement level ying cards. Looks like you’ve made it.”


    “Stay alert. If you see a three or four–year–old girl wearing a light–yellow dress with braided pigtails,


    inform me immediately.”


    Caleb was puzzled. “We’re in the basement, it’s highly unlikely to find such a young child here.”


    “Enough chatter. Just keep an eye out.”


    “Alright, alright.”

    After ending the call, Timothy poured himself a ss of water, but his nerves remained unsettled. He


    nced at Heath. “Any updates?”


    “Not at the moment.”


    Just as he finished speaking, Timothy’s phone rang, disying an unknown number.


    Given that only a select few had his personal phone number, it was highly unusual for a stranger to call.


    Typically, he wouldn’t entertain such calls.


    However, this time, he answered almost instinctively. “Hello, who’s calling?”


    A tearful voice came from the other end, “Mister, please help me!”


    Timothy’splexion paled, and he swiftly rose from the sofa. “Where are you?”


    “I don’t know. It’s dark, and there are bad people trying to kidnap me!”


    “Describe the buildings around you. I’lle immediately. Stay hidden and don’te out.”


    Initially. Timothy had nned to keep the line open, but the caller abruptly hung up after speaking.

    Without dy, he gathered his team and proceeded to the intersection where Ginger had disappeared.


    Just then, Matthew appeared. “Mr. Barrett, why have youe personally? Our staff is already


    searching


    for her.”


    Timothy’s tone was stern. “Is there a ce here with colorful lights and ancient statues?”


    “Yes, there is but


    it’s highly unlikely for a child to be there.”


    “Take me there immediately,” Timothy promptly ordered.


    Leading the way with his team, he arrived at the location and called out loudly, “You cane out


    now.”


    Shortly after, a thudding sound emerged from a nearby coffic


    Timothy approached and lifted the lid of the small coffit; Just as expected, he discovered Ginger hiding


    inside. The moment she saw him, she burst into tears. “Mister”


    Timothy crouched down and gently lifted Ginger into his arms. She clung tightly to his neck, crying


    inconsbly.
