CHAPTER 501: EMMA MAGUS PUT ON EDWARD STEPHENS’S COAT

Edward Stephens looked at her and said in a low voice, "We might have to enter the mountain later, it could be tough," he ruffled her hair, "Wait for me in the room, I’ll update you as soon as I have news."

Daisy Ginger shook her head, grabbed his fingers, and smiled, "It’s just hiking, what’s so tough about it? If something happens to him, I won’t feel good either, just let me go with you."

This was the truth.

George Stephens is only three, the same age as Erin Ginger, if something really happened in the forest, she would feel terrible too.

Moreover, if something happens, the entire film crew would likely suffer, if Edward Stephens’ son gets into an accident in the crew, the entire film could be banned by the Stephens.

Edward Stephens looked at her face, his eyes deep and dark, he didn’t refuse again, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Go change into sneakers, I’ll go to my brother’s place first."

Daisy Ginger nodded, watching Edward Stephens leave.

After the man left, Daisy Ginger composed herself, grabbing Elena Raven’s hand, "Let’s go."

Back at the dorm, Daisy Ginger quickly found a pair of sneakers to put on, thought for a moment, and took out a breathable long-sleeved windbreaker from the closet to wear, just as she was about to leave, Elena Raven ran out of her room.

"Daisy, let me go with you!"

Elena Raven had also changed her shoes.

Daisy Ginger refused, "You still have to stay ready for filming, what if the director’s team can’t find you after you run into the mountains with me?"

"But..."

"Stay in the dorm, don’t run around, you hear me?"

Elena Raven looked at her worriedly, Daisy Ginger patted her shoulder, "Be good."

A three-year-old child is missing, and it’s someone she knows, regardless of the child’s disposition, as an adult, worry is inevitable.

Daisy Ginger knew Elena Raven was also worried, but her role in the film crew was heavier than hers, if an actress got a bit hurt in the mountains, or had her face scratched by branches, it could greatly affect the progress of the film.

Daisy Ginger couldn’t let her go.

Leaving Elena Raven in the dorm, Daisy Ginger put on a coat and hurried out.

Thinking about George Stephens’ face which had a resemblance to Erin Ginger, yet was particularly cheeky, Daisy Ginger frowned deeply.

He is Edward Stephens’ child, no matter what, she doesn’t want anything to happen to him.

Daisy Ginger hurried to Robert Stephens’ dorm.

At this moment, there was a crowd gathered at his dorm door, Daisy Ginger saw Ryan Smith and Emma Magus had also come.

Everyone’s expression was very grave.

Edward Stephens was speaking with Ryan Smith, and seeing her approach, he walked over.

Daisy Ginger looked at his furrowed brows, gently held his hand, and softly persuaded, "It’s okay."

She always felt that such a smart child like George Stephens couldn’t really be in trouble.

Edward Stephens sighed softly.

Daisy Ginger knew that he probably didn’t feel comfortable either, George Stephens was a child calculated to come into his life, he might not hate her anymore, but couldn’t be indifferent to George Stephens’ birth.

But if anything happened to him, he couldn’t help but care.

Ryan Smith came over from the crowd, "The last group has been inside for half an hour, we should head out too."

Edward Stephens nodded, responding, "Let’s go."

Robert Stephens, due to being handicapped, couldn’t go hiking, so he had to stay in the dorm with the old butler to accompany him.

Daisy Ginger didn’t see him at the door, but thinking about such a cold-hearted man showing tenderness towards George Stephens, he probably cared deeply.

At this moment, he must be feeling tense.

Arriving at the end of the path where George Stephens entered the forest, the usually untraveled bush was now trampled flat, Ryan Smith said to Emma Magus, "Emma, join my team."

"No." Emma Magus still had makeup on her face, dressed very lightly, and wore white pumps with heels. She walked to Edward Stephens’ side, pouted, and looked up at him, "Brother Edward, I’ll go with you, let Daisy and Brother Ryan be a team."

Edward Stephens glanced at her, pulled Daisy Ginger to his side, and then said to Ryan Smith, "Let’s go."

"Brother Edward!" Emma Magus didn’t expect Edward Stephens to show her no face, and stomped her feet angrily, chasing in the direction of Edward Stephens.

"Sigh."

Ryan Smith followed behind them, letting out a long sigh, not being able to ask Edward Stephens to take care of two girls, said to the group behind him to split up, and then caught up with Edward Stephens.

The direction they searched was a place the crowd hadn’t been to.

The forest was an ordinary undeveloped woodland, wild vegetation was abundant, most of the trees here were pine trees, as people passed by, the needles scratched the skin like nails, easily breaking the skin.

Soon, the lightly dressed Emma Magus began to cry out.

"Brother Edward, my arm got scratched and it hurts!"

"My legs are all injured too, Brother Edward, I can’t walk anymore."

Edward Stephens frowned, having to take off his jacket and give it to her, then told her, "Go back."

"I don’t want to." Emma Magus held his still warm jacket, feeling a bit sweet, she coquettishly tried to hug Edward Stephens’ arm, "Little George is your son, how could I leave him alone, I want to find him too."

Edward Stephens directly swung her hand away, looked at her outfit, and said coldly, "The way you are now, if you walk for another half an hour you’ll be wasted, what are you even doing here?"

"Brother Edward, why are you so mean, I came because I was worried about George too..." Emma Magus’s eyes turned red at once, feeling aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, there’s an open space ahead, let’s all stop and rest a bit." Ryan Smith came forward to smooth things over.

They had walked for less than an hour before resting.

How could they find anyone at this rate?

Edward Stephens felt somewhat impatient, but considering Emma Magus was his childhood friend, he didn’t say anything further.

Emma Magus put on Edward Stephens’ jacket, feeling quite pleased, she glanced at Daisy Ginger who had been silent behind Edward Stephens, and smugly pouted at her.

Daisy Ginger couldn’t be bothered with her, took out a bottle of water from her backpack, gave it to Edward Stephens, and then found a shady spot to rest.

The film crew had already notified the police, but the rescue team coming from outside the city would take over three hours at the fastest, they were still on the road, unable to arrive promptly.

This kind of undeveloped and seldom-visited forest was very dangerous for humans, although there were no big predators around, the venomous snakes and insects were troublesome enough.

George Stephens hadn’t returned all night, a three-year-old toddler wandering the mountains, no matter how smart he was, how could a three-year-old compete with the mountains?

Moreover, at night when the temperature drops, wearing only a jacket, he could freeze to death.

Having searched for so long without finding anyone, in truth, everyone harbored some foreboding feelings in their hearts.
