My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 619

Chuck followed Betty's lead to the clues that other people had found. They looked to the footprints left by the person who had rescued Willa. Chuck was a little disappointed by the slow development of things. Traces like these were not much help, but at least it was better than nothing. Betty immediately went ahead to take a closer look with Chuck, Yvette and Black Rose. Half an hour later, they moved on to the next place. Just like that, three days had passed.

They managed to replace traces of clues here and there, but none helped to determine who it was that took Willa away. When the DNA results came back from the cigarette butt, they were inconclusive.

This could only mean that this person's data was not in the public database. Hence, they could not precisely determine who it was.

Chuck was getting more and more anxious with each passing day. He kept having nightmares about Willa's vacant, helpless stare that looked right through him.

Just who on earth took her?

She seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth just like that. There was no trace of her anywhere.

Chuck was spiraling into the same sort of despair like he did last time when Yvette had been captured.

He was blaming himself for not being able to save Willa. He hadn't slept for a few days now and was exhausted beyond all comprehension. Dragging his tired body through the forest, he still persisted in searching for clues, hoping to replace something that would help them locate Willa.

However, their attempts had been unfruitful to say the least. They could not replace anything that could help. The disappointment Chuck felt each time when the clues they've found led to a dead-end frustrated him. The situation looked bleak.

Yvette was worried about him as well. She managed to convince Chuck to take a short break a little later and proceeded to guide him back to their base. Meanwhile, Betty went out to continue their search. These few days, Chuck had lost some weight and looked like he was on the verge of collapse. Therefore, Yvette had forced him to rest before he actually did. If he went on with no sleep any longer, he would not be able to help Willa in such a worn.out condition.

Once Chuck fell asleep, Yvette slinked away to allow him some private rest. However, she met Karen a few moments later. She immediately ducked her head in submission.

"How is Chucky?" Karen asked her.

"He's exhausted. He just fell asleep."

Karen sighed once more in frustration. She was in a dilemma. A few days ago, she had asked Chadrick about Chuck's situation but he provided no concrete answer for her to continue asking. His answer did not reveal anything to her.

It made Karen doubt her own judgment. However, Karen's intuition told her that Chadrick must've known much more than he had let on.

He just hadn't revealed it to her yet.

Karen did not know what to do.

"You should go rest as well," Karen said.

"Alright, Auntie... By the way, what happened to Uncle?" Yvette asked with little hesitance. She knew that Chuck's father had returned. However, they had been interrupted by such a large accident for the past few days, so Chuck had missed his chance to see him.

"He had something else to attend to... " Karen sighed.

"Auntie, are you alright? You seem really troubled," Yvette felt that Karen was worried about something.

Karen had been sighing a lot recently and looked as if something troubling was constantly on her mind. Something must've happened that made her like this. It could even be related to Chuck as well. "It's nothing. By the way, you and Chucky will have to go somewhere else tomorrow," Karen said.

For Chuck's head wound to completely heal, he would need to undergo a short treatment which the doctor had already worked out. The doctor had decided to treat him with acupuncture and some traditional herbs.

Of course, Karen couldn't wait. However, this traditional method was really rare, especially the special herbs that it required. Coincidentally, there was an auction in the United States that would be auctioning those particular herbs. Therefore, she wanted Chuck to go buy them from there.

This was also to give Chuck some time to relax.

She could not let Chuck wander around here in such despair any longer. It wasn't good for him, and so she decided to do this.

After listening to Karen's plan, Yvette agreed rather enthusiastically, "Alright, I'll take him there tomorrow."

"These herbs are really precious. Remember that no matter how much they cost, we have to get them. It'll be able to heal Chuck's brain injury more completely," Karen continued. She didn't want Chuck's memory to be compromised in any way.

"Okay, I got it."

"Right then, you should go to sleep."

Yvette nodded and promptly went into a room.

Chuck was exhausted, so Yvette decided that she would let him rest in peace without disturbing him. Therefore, she picked another room to sleep in.

The next morning, Yvette went to wake Chuck up.

When she entered his room, she saw that Chuck had already woken up. He had dreamt of the helpless Willa again. When he was startled awake in the middle of the night from that, he found it difficult to fall back to sleep.

"Hubby, Auntie has arranged for us to go to someplace else to buy something today," Yvette said.

"But..."

"Betty and the others will still be looking for Willa anyway. She promised that she'll inform us if she manages to replace any new information," Yvette persuaded him.

Chuck sighed. After some contemplation, he finally nodded and agreed to the idea.

"Alright then. I'll wait for you outside," Yvette let out a sigh of relief, pecking Chuck on the lips before leaving.

"Auntie Logan, where on earth are you?" He thought to himself in despair as he let out a long sigh.

Soon, he managed to change out of his clothes a little dejectedly. Once he was ready, he got into a car with Yvette driving. Black Rose was following them from a distance for Chuck's protection. Karen watched Chuck leave silently and felt a touch of relief. At least they knew that Willa was still alive. She was sure that they would be able to replace her very soon, so Chuck had to hang on!

The auction was held in one of the largest hotels in the United States. Many luxurious cars could be seen parked outside. In the airport, there were also ten private planes parked alongside each other. The auction had enticed many rich people to gather here.

Yvette drove Chuck to the hotel accordingly. Karen had arranged everything for them from the start already, so there was already a private room booked in advance for them there.

Karen had to ensure that they were successful in obtaining the traditional herbs.

"Hubby, let's go in," Yvette said to Chuck as they got out of the car. Chuck still looked depressed. Even though they had confirmed that Willa was alive, they had no clue how to get her back.

With another dejected sigh, Chuck walked into the hotel with Yvette by his side.

Black Rose followed after them as well. Without anyone noticing, she entered Chuck's private room.

There were a lot of rich people here. They all came here to bid for interesting items, such as the world's biggest diamond, limited edition cars and things like that.

There were even relics from deceased famous people available for auction.

In the private room, Yvette did not know what to do to ease Chuck's distress. She could only offer him comfort and support. Black Rose on the other hand, merely sat next to him and did not utter a word. She had not participated in such auctions for a long time now.

She used to attend such auctions before, but they were mostly of the weaponry variety. She only cared for products that would be useful to her in combat, so she didn't think that the following auction would be interesting in the slightest.

If it hadn't been for Chuck, she wouldn't have set her foot in here. What the dejected Chuck didn't know was that just outside the very same hotel he was in, a luxurious sports car had parked itself. In it sat a man and a woman.

There were four men standing next to the car, and each of them had cold, indifferent expressions on their faces.

It was unexpected.

The man and woman in the sports car were Loomis and Willa.

To be honest, Loomis did not think that this auction was interesting. He only wanted to bring Willa out for some fresh air.

Willa had not fully recovered yet. However, she had agreed to come out with him in the hopes that something would jog her memories.

"Willa, let's go. The largest private room has already been booked for us," Loomis said with a smile.

The Yeager family was one of the Three Greatest Hidden Households. He had the power to do anything he so desired without even having to lift a finger.

With a quiet nod, Willa followed after him.

Smiling, Loomis began to reach out, planning to hold Willa by the arm. She looked gorgeous today, dressed in a light blue dress that showed off her spectacular figure.

Even Loomis, who had seen countless beauties in his time, was in awe of her beauty.

"Hey, don't touch me, alright?" Willa refused his extended hand with a shake of her head. She was only here to regain her memories after all.

Loomis retracted his hands immediately and sighed, "Alright then. This way ...

Willa nodded and proceeded to walk ahead of him. Behind her, Loomis frowned after her, his expression turning cold. A man next to him whispered to him, "Young Master, she's a really unappreciative woman, isn't she?"

"What do you know? Women like her are feisty in nature. She's the epitome of a goddess! The more she ref uses me, the more it gets me excited," Loomis smirked as he said his thoughts aloud. He thought that Willa was truly beautiful and had been obsessed with her these few days.

Sometimes, he would think about slipping something into her drink so he could take all of her for himself. However, he knew that it would be too easy. That would just ruin the fun of it all. It would be more entertaining if he were to successfully win her over slowly.
