NovelApexChapter 1336:
Just as the familiar outline of her neighborhood cinto view, Hadley’s phone pierced the quiet with a sharp
ring.
“Hello?” Hadley answered the call, her voice softening instantly. “Oh, Joy, sweetheart.”
“Mommy, are you done with work?” Joy’s small, eager voice bubbled through the line.
“Yes, love, I'm all done. I'll be hsoon to get you ready for your bath, alright?”
“Okay!” Joy chirped. “Mommy, I'm out walking with Melba. We're waiting downstairs so we can go home
together!”
“Sounds perfect,” Hadley replied, a smile tugging at her lips.
In the background, Melba’s voice floated through, gentle but firm. “All done, Joy? Tto say goodbye to
Mommy.”
“Okay...” Joy began, but her voice cut off with a sudden, sharp cry. “Ah!”
“Joy!” Hadley’s heart lurched, her grip tightening on the phone. “Melba!”
Joy's scream tore through the line, raw and frantic, before the call went eerily silent.

“Hello? Melba!”
Hadley’s voice trembled as she clutched the phone, her face draining of color as though she had glimpsed a
specter. “Hello? Melba, are you there?”
The line remained open, but the familiar voices of Melba and Joy had eerily faded into silence.
“What's wrong?” Eric’s brow furrowed with concern as he gently took Hadley’s hand, his steady grip anchoring
her spiraling panic.
“Joy is in danger!”
Hadley’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with terror. Instead of pulling away, she clung to Eric's hand with
desperate strength, her complexion ghostly pale. “They've gone after Joy!”
Eric's expression darkened, a storm brewing in his eyes. He tightened his hold on her hand and swiftly retrieved
the phone with the other. “Phillips, it’s me. Joy’s in trouble. Head to Millland Road immediately—seal off every
entrance and exit. Check the surveillance footage and scrutinize every suspicious person and vehicle!”
His voice was sharp, commanding, as he ended the call and dialed another.

“Cordell, it's me...”
Hadley watched him, her heart pounding, anxiety etched into every line of her face. When Eric hung up, she
grabbed his arm. “What is happening? Is Joy... is she...?”
“She’ll be okay,” Eric assured her, though worry gnawed at him. He couldn't let his fear show—not now.
He enveloped Hadley’s trembling hand in his. “I swear, Joy will cback to us unharmed.”

Eric ushered Hadley out of the car, urgency in his stride.
“Mr. Scott!” Phillips rushed over to them at once.
