The mall had seven floors. Michelle went up and down on foot and searched every corner of the mall.
However, she was still looking for till very late at night. She didn't know what happened to that woman,
but she had to find her child first.
In order not to affect the company's reputation, Michelle did not call the police. After all, there were
professional security guards in the mall. She believed that everything would be fine as long as she
could find the missing child.
"Where will she be?" By this time, it was already dark outside and the shopping mall was quiet. The
door had been closed, and that woman would not leave no matter what. She had to be placed in the
security room.
Leaning against the cold wall, Michelle's forehead was wet with sweat. Her phone kept ringing, but she
wasn't in the mood to answer it.
'What How could I not realize? ' Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Michelle became aware of it at
once. She immediately took out the intercom and said to the others, "you guys go to the parking lot of
the shopping mall and the warehouse to look for it."
There was a large supermarket in the shopping center. Michelle was responsible for finding someone in
it.
It was dark in the supermarket. She could only see a small area nearby with the light of her mobile
phone. When walking, she suddenly heard something and stopped subconsciously.
Luckily, the supermarket was so quiet that the sound could be heard without carefully listening to it.
'It's so late. No one is allowed to stay in the supermarket. It must be the missing child, ' she thought!
She couldn't help getting excited at the thought of it.
"Anybody there?" She shouted outside.
No one answered. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew past, as if someone was talking in the ear.
Michelle couldn't help shivering, but she still followed the voice. The voice came from the downstairs of
the supermarket. At this time, Michelle was standing at the entrance. She looked at the dark building in
front of her and only felt that the wind was colder.
"Is there someone down there?"
Then she went downstairs. The colder she walked, the clearer the voice became.
After walking to the end, she saw an ice house. It was the voice from inside. Without hesitation,
Michelle immediately took the intercom to call for help, but since she was far away from the signal area,
it went out of control.
"Is there someone in there? Little kid, are you inside? " Being anxious, she had to knock on the door.
Although she did not know what was behind the door, the chilly air from the inside made her tremble.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the cry inside was getting lower and lower.
"Damn it!" She cursed in her mind.
The large iron door in front of her was locked. She was too weak to break into it. But if she went out for
help, the more dangerous the people inside!
At this time, she could not rely on others, but only on her own strength.
She looked around and found a hammer in the corner. Without saying anything, Michelle grabbed the
hammer and smashed the door. The lock was old, but it broke with a few attacks.
She could not help shivering with fear when she opened the door. All that she could see now was the
white mass and the thick fog.
Suddenly, Michelle felt that she was pushed down by a person. It seemed that the person who pushed
her was very strong and wanted to run away. And because the freezer was wet, she slipped on her
high heels and fell to the ground.
She tried to run after him, but the door of the freezer suddenly closed! Making a loud noise!
How could it be? She had opened the door just now, but why did it close automatically?
When she looked carefully, she found the doors around the freezer were rusty, as if they had not been
cleaned for many years. The foods sold in the freezer were all seafood, meat, vegetables and other
foods left in the supermarket that day.
"Is there anyone outside?" Standing up from the ground, she tried to knock at the door of the ice house,
hoping that the people outside could hear her.
"What? She's still in the mall? " Scott was working on documents in the company. He didn't expect he
would be so busy today. He just heard that Michelle had been staying in the mall till now and she had
lost contact. Suddenly, his restless heart rose again.
When Scott arrived at the mall, he learned that the woman had left with her child, but he didn't see
Michelle. At this moment, everyone was anxious.
"Where did you find the child?" Scott had always believed that the child could be found because of
Michelle. But now, the child was back, but Michelle was not here. That meant the child must know
where she was!
Now he was like a crazy beast, grabbing the manager's shoulder and shaking it from left to right.
"No, we didn't ask. That woman left with her kid as soon as she found her kid. " The manager looked at
Scott with awe as this was the first time he saw him in the Barstow Mall.
The president of the Jiang Group could only be seen on the news report of daily life, and no one had
contacted him in person. It was such an honor for him to work in the Barstow Mall?
All of a sudden, the manager seemed to remember something. He said to Scott, "The child is freezing,
like just escaping from an ice cellar and looked flustered. And before that, Miss. Michelle has told us
that she will be responsible for the inspection in the supermarket...... "
Before he finished his words, Scott loosened him and ran towards the entrance of the supermarket.
The group of people followed closely behind in fear of anything wrong. But what scared them most was
the job they had worked hard to get.
Entering the supermarket, the security guards turned on the lights, and then a group of people
gathered together again.
Scott looked around, but his heart was crying. Suddenly, he felt that someone was calling his name. He
listened carefully and found that it was Michelle's voice!
Before the people present could react, Scott had already run to the exit of the supermarket. Until he
came to the first floor, he was sure that Michelle was there!
"Why are you still standing there? Open it!" He found the door was not locked. He tried to push it away
but failed.
After getting the order, the group of people all rushed down and pushed the iron door in front of them
with strength. The woman sitting in the freezer was curling up to embrace herself, trembling all over.
"Scott, where are you exactly? Dad, I feel so cold. I might be able to see you soon. " At the thought of
this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Michelle, are you inside? Michelle, how do you feel? " Scott called anxiously outside the door. The
people present seemed to have seen something, so they pushed the door in front of them harder.
Generally speaking, it was difficult to open the door of the freezer.
"All of you are craps! What on earth do I recruit you?" Suddenly, he shouted at the group and then
joined them.
"Michelle, how are you feeling now?" When the door of the freezer was pushed open, everyone saw a
woman at her last gasp. She was huddling up on the cold ground, shivering.
Seeing this, Scott immediately took off his suit jacket and put it on Michelle. He held her, hoping to
warm her cold body through his warm body.
He called her name, but she didn't respond as if she was in a daze.
"Call an ambulance! Right now!"
Seeing that the group of people outside were still in a daze, he roared angrily again. The people
present then came back to their senses. The manager subconsciously took out his cell phone and
dialed the emergency number.
It was difficult for a normal person to stay in the freezer for five minutes. He didn't know how long she
had stayed in this place. He just felt that if he came a little later, she would probably disappear from his
side forever.
He carried her out of the mall and said that he was the family of Michelle.
What happened in the Barstow Mall attracted the attention of many media. In the end, they were asked
to leave by the security guards in the mall after taking a lot of pictures of Scott and the woman in his
arms.
Scott got on the ambulance. He cared nothing but accompany her. He wanted to see how alive she had
been, but not how weak and feeble she was now.
He held her hands tightly for fear that she would slip away from him silently.
When Michelle was pushed into the emergency room, Scott was waiting outside the door.
He could even feel her cold hand on his palm. He regretted asking her to solve the problem. If he had
known that it was a woman who lost her child in the mall, he should have called the police.
He believed that the policemen would find the child soon. After thinking it over, Scott still couldn't
understand why no one called the police at that time?
After an hour in the operating room, the doctor pushed Michelle out and took her to the VIP ward.
Scott did not want to tell the news to Olivia at first, but he was worried that she would guess randomly,
so he called her to inform her of the news.
It was ten o'clock in the evening. It was not too late.
Olivia rushed here. She looked at Scott first as if she wanted to get an answer from his eyes. But she
immediately stopped and ran to the bedside.
She took Michelle's cold hand and felt sorry for her.
"Scott, why don't you take care of her well?"
"Auntie, I..." At this moment, Scott did not know what to say. He paused, but did not continue.
Olivia didn't even want to look at Scott when she complained. Because she always felt that her
daughter would become like this all because of him.
