Chapter 244: Missing
Inna, who couldn’t hide her distress, continued to find the room where she had entered with Madeline. Her brain was disoriented, and she had trouble remembering the exact room they had entered. No! She had trouble finding the room.
Seeing the guests whisper and murmur as they left the building in groups, Inna was forced to not raise any suspicion as she greeted each of them, but she didn’t stop checking the rooms either.
The news of what was happening must have reached Napoleon which could explain why the guests were leaving so sudden. Inna’s heart drummed whenever she thought of Madeline, and the angrier she got with herself for not being able to locate the room.
What was she going to do??
When the guests cleared the hallway, Inna spotted Orson who was also stepping out from the main hall. Orson, who caught sight of Inna was about to tease her regarding the time she chose to attend the choosing event, but he stopped when he noticed her teary eyes, and the smile on his lips instantly vanished like a vision of the night.
"Inna?"
Orson didn’t wait for a second before he rushed towards Inna who seemed to be in tears. He placed both his hands on her shoulder, forcing her to look at him, and when she finally did, Inna didn’t wait for him to ask and began to spill it all out.
"Orson, there’s a problem and I don’t know what to do. We need to find Maddie, she’s in trouble, please!" Inna said to him in tears, holding the hands he placed on her shoulder while meeting his gaze.
"Maddie?? What happened? What... What about Elian? Didn’t he come with you?" Orson asked as he looked behind her, as if he would spot Elian making his way from the crowds, but when he saw no one, he returned his concerned gaze to Inna.
