Chapter 696 Maybe I can help
"My wife is now much calmer under the care of the medical staff."

"She originally wanted to come out to look for her daughter, but I refused."

"I told her that one of us should stay with the police to understand the progress of the investigation."

……

"I don't want my daughter to be missing and my wife to fall down again."

The driver suddenly smiled, but his face looked very tired.

After the intense emotions, there is a sense of emptiness and loss.

He was at a loss.

He couldn't help but take out his daughter's photo from his pocket. He just wanted to take a look at it, but he stared at it for a long time and lost his mind.

His daughter is the most important treasure to him and his mother, and their happy pill. He still remembers the little pink dumpling telling them seriously that she would treat them well when she grows up...

If something happened to her...

What should he and the child’s mother do?
……

The driver felt so bitter in his mouth that it almost made him cry.

Did you really drink too much coffee?
Tsk, I don't know why young people nowadays like to drink this bitter thing so much?
……

"Papa~"

After a few moments of depression, the driver slapped his cheeks twice, and his dark complexion turned red, but his expression regained some of his usual cheerfulness, "Classmate, I'm sorry for wasting your time."

"I feel much better after hearing this."

He seemed to be full of energy again, and his physical fatigue had faded a lot.

"Thanks for the coffee, classmate."

"I'm leaving."

"My daughter is still waiting for me."

The driver stood up, pushed his chair away and was about to leave.

"Uncle driver."

Xiao Xiao, who had been listening to the man's story quietly without interrupting him, called out to him, "Wait a moment."

"Classmate, uncle knows your good intentions-"

The driver was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He thought the person in front of him wanted to comfort him or encourage him, but he didn't have the time for that.

The story just now has taken up a lot of time.

"Uncle driver."

Xiao Xiao interrupted the man and said, "You didn't see the puppy your daughter brought home, did you?"

"……Um."

The unexpected question made the man unable to react for a moment, and he paused before giving an affirmative answer.

"But your daughter insisted that the puppy was right next to her."

"Ah."

The driver nodded in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"That's why the child's mother and I took the child to the hospital."

"But it's only when we go to the hospital that the child is lost."

At this point, the driver couldn't help but reveal a bit of resentment in his words.

He thought the child was safe in the hospital, but the child was lost in the hospital.

Such a big hospital, can’t it even take care of a child?

He was disappointed with the security measures.

He also felt a little regretful.

If I had known, I would not have sent my daughter to the hospital.

Maybe my daughter will return to normal in a few days?
No matter what, it's better than losing my daughter now.

……

"Can you take me to the ward where the child is staying?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at the middle-aged man, with a slight smile on his face, "Maybe... I can help."

"real?!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but shout out, attracting surprised looks from other people in the store.

The driver didn't care about all this. He looked at the students in front of him with burning eyes, unable to believe what he heard.

"May I?"

Xiao Xiao asked again. He did not answer the driver's previous question.

Although he was 80% sure after hearing the other party's story just now that the driver's daughter had encountered a monster, there are exceptions to everything. Maybe it just sounded like the driver's daughter had encountered a monster?

However, if you go to the ward, some things will become clear.

……

"Sure, sure!" The driver nodded vigorously.

He was desperate and tried every possible means.

He will not give up as long as there is a little hope.

He didn't think about how a mere student could help him find his missing daughter.
He just wandered aimlessly on the street for more than ten hours, without eating lunch or dinner. His stomach and head were empty. The confusion in his heart made him want to desperately grab any straw that others offered.

……

"Then let's go."

Xiao Xiao stood up and went to the cashier to pay, then walked out of the store and got into the uncle's car that had parked in front of the coffee shop.

……

The uncle drove at full speed all the way, and several thrilling overtakings caused a lot of cursing.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Children's Hospital.

……

The police cars were still there, and police officers could be seen entering and leaving the inpatient building.

……

In child missing cases, every second counts. The longer the time goes, the lower the possibility of the child's survival.

Now that a day has passed, most police officers have a bad feeling in their hearts.

However, as long as the child is not found, they will not give up, no matter whether what they find in the end is the child's body.

……

"Hey."

The driver who had just parked his car answered the phone, "I just arrived at the hospital."

"……No."

……

"I'm going to go to the ward where my daughter used to stay and take a look. Maybe I can find something?"

"What? You're coming over too?"

……

"Okay, we'll meet in my daughter's ward."

The driver hung up the phone, opened the door, got out, and smiled apologetically at Xiao Xiao, "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It was my wife calling."

Xiao Xiao shook his head to indicate that everything was fine, "Let's go up."

……

The elevator was silent.

"By the way, classmate, I still don't know your name?"

The driver suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted, then seemed to realize that his voice was too loud, smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his voice a bit, "Please come with me to the hospital so late."

"I came here on my own initiative."

Xiao Xiao corrected, "My name is Xiao Xiao."

"Oh, classmate Xiao, my last name is Jin, and my Chinese character is Yong. If you don't mind, you can just call me Uncle Jin."

"Yes, Uncle Jin."

Xiao Xiao's voice and the "ding~" sound of the elevator arriving at the station rang out at the same time.

This coincidence made Xiao Xiao raise his eyebrows, and then he stepped out of the elevator, "Uncle Jin, we're here."

"Well, come with me."

Uncle Jin led the way.

There was an air of haste in his steps.

He had an inexplicable expectation in his heart, but he didn't know what he was expecting.

His wife clearly told him everything over the phone, and the police investigation made no progress.

There were many suspects, but in the end, everyone was cleared of suspicion.

There was no sign of tampering with the surveillance.

The police also did not find any witnesses around the girl's ward.

The girl seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

The police were left clueless and at a loss as to what to do.

……

Uncle Jin almost ran to the door of his daughter's ward.

There is a familiar figure.

Not his daughter, but his wife.
