Chapter 872 My Son Is Missing
Harper was far from her usual poised and composed self at this moment. She rushed to Charlotte in a state of panic, tightly gripping her hand. “Have you seen Samuel?” Charlotte, who initially found her actions somewhat unsettling, was momentarily taken aback. She shook her head and said to Harper, “We haven’t seen Samuel since you left. He…” Before Charlotte could finish her words, Harper’s face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground. Charlotte quickly supported her and asked with concern, “What’s happening? This…” Tears welled up in Harper’s eyes, and her voice quivered as she replied, “Samuel is missing.” Although she had already suspected as much, hearing Harper say it out loud weighed heavily on Charlotte’s heart. “How could a child just disappear like that?” The place they were in now was far from an ordinary city. Losing a child in Antarctica could mean a life-or-death situation.
Harper’s face grew even paler. Samuel had been sulking since just now and after leaving here, wanting to find another penguin needing rescue. But Noah and Harper knew very well that it was a stroke of luck for Ben and Anna to encounter one. How could they easily find a second one? So, after searching in the snow for a while, they persuaded Samuel to return. But how could Samuel, who was determined to find the penguin, agree? He shouted back at them a few times and then rushed out. Noah and Harper hurriedly followed him, but they happened to reach a glacier cluster. Samuel somehow managed to circle around it and disappeared without a
trace. After searching around for a while, the couple still couldn’t find any trace of Samuel, which left Noah quite anxious. He instructed Harper to come over to this area to try her luck, wondering if Samuel, not satisfied with not finding the penguin, had returned here. Meanwhile, he went to find the leader to ask for more help. After hearing the whole story, Charlotte furrowed her brow. Even though Antarctica seemed calm on the surface, it was filled with hidden dangers everywhere, especially for a child like Samuel. If they couldn’t find him soon, the situation could become dire. Charlotte’s brow furrowed deeper as she saw Harper’s pale face. She sighed heavily. “We indeed haven’t seen Samuel, but perhaps we can help you look for him.” She glanced back at Joe, who nodded in agreement. It would have been fine if they didn’t know, but now that they were aware that a child was lost right under their noses, they certainly couldn’t turn a blind eye. Charlotte contemplated for a moment and then handed over her own satellite phone to Ben and Anna. She instructed them, “Mom and Dad are going to look for Samuel now. Can you please go back to the ship and wait for us?” The top-tier suites on the ship have dedicated butlers and security guards, ensuring that Ben and Anna would be safer on board. “But what about the little penguin?” Ben and Anna both knew that getting lost in Antarctica could be extremely dangerous, and they didn’t pretend to be naive or disobedient to Joe and Charlotte. What worried them most was the penguin they had just saved. “You can take it back to our room for now. I’m sure the guide will arrange for
someone to pick it up later,” Charlotte reassured them. Ben and Anna nodded, saying, “Okay. Mom, you have to find that chubby kid.” Charlotte couldn’t help but smile at their words. Even though Ben and Anna were the younger ones, they kept calling Samuel a chubby kid. She gently touched their heads and said, “I understand. Let’s go.” Joe escorted Ben and Anna back to their room and instructed them not to leave the cabin unless it was an emergency. After ensuring the door was locked from the inside, he returned to the ship.
