Chapter 3910: Get off work
The old man recalled the scene at that time.

"The kid was carrying a little green frog bag."

"Run towards me."

"I called the kid."

"I asked her to run slower."

"Running too fast is too dangerous."

"She nodded and told me she understood, but her speed didn't change at all."

The old man shook his head helplessly.

“It was just a face-to-face encounter.”

The old man looked at the woman.

"It seems I can't help you."

……

"Do not."

The woman raised the corners of her mouth, smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you."

"Was the child alone at the time?"

"Did you meet anyone?"

The woman suspected that the child went out because someone had made an appointment with him.

……

"one person."

The old man blurted out.

"When I saw her, she was alone."

"But I can only say that I saw her as a person."

"As for the rest of the time..."

"Is there anyone waiting for her at the gate of the community..."

"I don't know."

The old man felt a little regretful.

"If I had known she was going out alone, I would have followed her to see..."

She didn't think much about it at the time.

It was normal for her to meet a familiar child on the road, say hello, and then she and the child continue on their way.

did not think of……

The child actually left a note and ran away from home.

……

"That's it..."

The light in the woman's eyes dimmed.

She originally thought she could get news about the child.

Although she did get some news about the child.

But it’s not critical news.

There was no way around her current problem of wanting to find her child.

……

"don’t worry."

The old man comforted the woman.

"That kid is very smart."

"She even knew to leave you a note."

"I guess she doesn't want you to worry about her too much."

"Children may be too playful to remember the time to go home."

"Just wait until the kid comes back and says a few words."

……

"Ah."

The woman suppressed her worry and smiled at the old man.

……

After talking to the old man for a few more words, he left.

Women and children come out.

Um! ?

She turned suddenly and strode up the stairs.

She suddenly thought of...

She's been out for quite some time.

After all, finding the entire community is not a task that can be completed in a short time.

……

child……

Could he have returned home during the time she was away?
The more the woman thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

She started running.

……

"Baby!"

Pushing the door open, the woman screamed.

The only response she got was silence.

Her heart sank.

The child has not come back yet...

She looked at the time.

The thought of calling the police came to my mind for the third time.

……

The woman remembered Grandma Yu’s words again.

I saw the child was fine this morning.

The child may have forgotten the time while playing...

This is actually very likely.

What self-control do children have?

How can you remember to go home when you are having so much fun?

really...

The woman pursed her lips.

Since the child knew that he had written the note...

The woman looked at the note in her hand for the nth time.

I don’t know how to write it in more detail.

For example, write down where you went and what you did.

I just wrote that I have something to go out for a while...

How can anyone feel at ease about this?

……

Women and children come out.

She allowed herself to be a little more patient.

but……

She could have comforted herself, after all, she didn't know when the child left.

Maybe shortly before she came home...

Well, the child hadn't been out for very long. But what Grandma Yu said earlier broke her guess.

The child went out early in the morning.

Shortly after she left for the hospital.

This kid...

I had decided from the beginning to go out without telling her...

Or did he receive a message from someone that he was going out after she left?

she does not know.

She had too many doubts about her child going out on his own for the first time.

……

The woman couldn't make up her mind for a moment. What should she do next?

She took a deep breath.

Sit down slowly on the sofa in the living room.

hold on.

she told herself.

From the information we have received so far, the child is not in danger.

When the child comes back, let her know who took the child out...

She must have a good talk with the other party.

How could you take someone else's child out without informing the parents?
Don’t you know that other parents will be very worried?
……

The sudden knock on the door scared the woman so much that she almost jumped up from the sofa.

She stood up suddenly.

Then, as if realizing something, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up.

She ran to the entrance quickly.

During this time, her foot kicked the coffee table.

Beneath the loud noise was the hissing sound of her gasping for air.

She staggered to the door.

……

The woman immediately opened the door.

The next second, the woman's expectant expression turned into disappointment.

The overly obvious change in expression made the man, who was frightened by the woman's excessive force in opening the door, twitch his lips.

"What?"

"So disappointed to see me?"

"Are you waiting for someone?"

"Are there any guests coming?"

……

"I-"

The woman was about to answer when she realized something.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, "You're back?"

"Is it so late?"

……

what?
The man was a little confused.

He didn't quite understand what the woman meant.

"Um……"

"Isn't this my normal time to get off work?"

"I get home around this time even if I don't work overtime."

"what happened?"

……

What's wrong……

Women and children come out.

"The baby hasn't come back yet."

The woman was surprised.

She didn't even realize how much time was passing.

She felt like she was just in a daze for a moment.

Why did the man go home after get off work?

of course.

The most terrifying thing was not that time slipped away silently while she was in a daze.

But...

So much time has passed, and her child hasn't come home yet! ?

……

"what?"

The man has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

He was a little confused.

"Did the baby go out to play?"

"I didn't see her when I came back..."

He thought the child was playing on the fitness equipment in the open space downstairs.

……

"I didn't see her either."

The woman took out the note left by the child.

"I came back from the hospital at noon and saw this note the child left for me."

"She said she was going out for a while."

"I haven't seen her come back yet..."

……

The man took the note and looked at it.

His brows furrowed into a frown when he heard that the child had not returned yet.

……

It's a child's font.

……

He raised his eyes and looked at the woman.

"When you came back at noon, she was gone..."

"When did she go out?"

……

"morning."

The woman frowned.

“I met Grandma Yu.”

"She said she saw the child this morning."

"I checked the time. The child should have left the house not long after I did."

"That is to say..."

The woman clenched her fingers unconsciously.

"The kid's been out for the day."
