Just then, Rachel received a call from one of Abraham's friends asking if we had seen Abraham.
Rachel frowned. "I wanted to ask y'all. Where is he?"
"We haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon. We held a bachelor party, but he didn't show up. We thought that he was sleeping at home, but when we went over today, his parents thought that he was with us."
"What do you mean?"
"His family hasn't seen him since yesterday afternoon. His phone is switched off. We can't find him!"
The joyous atmosphere in the living room instantly died down.
I quickly gave Abraham a call. His phone was switched off.
Then I called the front desk of Abraham's company. The front desk went around asking questions and finally replied that Abraham hadn't been to the office every since he took the day off.
Did something happen to him?
Abraham's mother called me, her voice sounding frantic. "Emma, don't worry. We're looking for him. If you don't mind, you can come together with us. Of course, you can choose to wait at home too."
"I can't wait. I'll go and look for him now." I ended the call and asked someone to help me take off my wedding dress.
Selina tried to calm me down. "Why don't we wait a little more? He might be drunk and sleeping somewhere."
"He's never been drunk." Yes, I'd never seen Abraham drunk before. No matter how much alcohol he had, it was just like water to him. He was a good drinker.
Please make sure he's safe!
I couldn't wait and immediately rushed back to my room to change into normal clothing and put on some sneakers. Everyone looked at me when I came out.
Selina noticed that my expression wasn't looking too good. She took my hand and said, "Emma, we'll all go with you to look for him. Don't panic."
Rachel stood beside her and said, "Yes, we'll all help you."
Everyone nodded and told me they would use all their connections to help find Abraham as soon as possible.
I was touched when I saw how worried they were about me. "Thank you."
I pulled out my phone and checked the maps. "I parted with him at the Xin Garden last night." We would move to stay at the Xing Garden after getting married. We went there to put down some stuff yesterday. "Seems like I was the last one to see Abraham."
Jeffrey said, "It seems like Abraham didn't just go somewhere. We should call the police."
I nodded. "I think so too."
Selina immediately called the police and asked them to check the surveillance cameras in Xing Garden.
We also rushed to Xing Garden and after some explaining, we finally got the surveillance footage.
From the footage, we could clearly see Abraham and myself parting ways as I got into a taxi. Following that, he turned and walked into the compound, into the stairwell, and went upstairs. From the surveillance cameras in the elevator, I could see him safely walk out of the elevator.
After that, he didn't take the elevator anymore. He just stopped showing up in the neighborhood.
He seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Since I couldn't find him, I let the police into our new house. After some investigation, we found nothing unusual.
As much as I couldn't believe it, I had to tell everyone who was looking for him about the result so that they could look in other directions.
We then split up and began searching the entire city.
I'd just gotten downstairs when a camper van pulled up in front of me. Without any hesitation, I pulled open the door and got in. "Where should we go?" Mylo asked.
Apart from Rachel, Mylo was my friend. He knew me well, and had been keeping up with my posts. He claimed that he wouldn't come to my wedding in a fit of pique, but he eventually did.
"The library. All the libraries in the city," I said. Abraham would go and sit in the library and read all day whenever he was in a bad mood.
"Okay." Mylo started the engine and headed for the nearest library. I couldn't sit still, and tried to recall Abraham's every move for the past two days over and over again.
"His appetite wasn't too good yesterday. He only had one cup of coffee in an entire day," I muttered.
Milo kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead. His deep green eyes were just like a bottomless pit of water. "So he ran away from home because of his poor appetite?"
"No, no way. Of course not. Wait, let's not go to the library. We're going to the hospital. Could it be that he actually passed out?"
"That won't happen. If that's the case, the hospital will notify his family."
"What if he didn't have his phone with him when he arrived at the hospital?"
"Then you can tell the others about this possibility and ask them to help out in the search."
"Right. Yes. I can't do it all alone." I immediately sent out a message to all my group chats.
When we arrived at the library, Mylo told me to wait in the car. How could I wait? I rushed into the library and searched every floor.
