Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

One Hundred-Fifteen

Harry
She hasn't been home for three days. We can't alert anyone outside the Palace because it would be a much bigger issue.
The Queen had everyone working on the issue and we have already released a statement that the relationship never existed. I had Mara sued for a lot of stuff, and I don't think she can wriggle her way out of this, she can't ever set foot in England or any territories of this country.
We are also in the process of removing entirely the articles away from the internet, it's gonna be hard because they have to comb through everything and even if they have combed through everything, there is always gonna be something to pop out about this.
I haven't seen my wife and son for three days, and Austin tried everything to track them down, but she's pretty good at hiding. We tried Wycombe and then her house and then Brad's house but we didn't find her.
"Is it possible that she has been kidnapped?" William said
"No, I don't think there's even the slightest of chance. I mean, the issue from three days ago is not about national security. Who'd kidnap her just because I allegedly had an affair?"
"Mara maybe?"
"William, she won't be able to hire a lawyer that good enough to fight with our team, nobody would even dare. So, what she just decided to kidnap my wife and kid?"
"Well, did you try all of her possible hideouts?"
"Yeah, she's pretty predictable, I even went to her mother's grave."
"What, she decided to bury hersel-"
"I tried everything, she even turned off her mobile."
"Her brother?"
"He says he talked to her two days ago, after that, no more. And he swore that he doesn't really know where they are."
Austin approached us, looking like has something urgent to say.
"Excuse me sirs." He said
"Were you able to find her?" I said
"She showed up today at the children's hospital-"
"Did something happen to Zachary?" I said
"No sir, she has a scheduled engagement today there and-"
"And she showed up?" William said
"Yes sir."
"What children's hospital?"
"Evelina London-"
Oh right, she was named the patron for that. She has a thing today for cancer-stricken kids.
"Should we go there?" William said
"How do you think she got there? She drove herself?" I said
"It's possible but we found her car in Wycombe-"
"You didn't think she hailed a cab?" I said
"Is the thing still going on right now?" William said
"Her schedule is from one in the afternoon to three-"
"It's two. We can still make it to the end, she has to go home." I said
We made it to the hospital by 2:55pm, I'm really hoping that she's still there but then I saw my sister in law with my nephew.
"Sam?" I said, she looked at me and then when we had eye contact she just turned around, carried her son and hurriedly walked away.
"That's your sister in law, right?" William said
"Sam, come on!" I said
"Mummy, isn't that Uncle Harry?" I heard Louis say and then Sam froze.
"Yeah, Louis! It's me, Uncle Harry!" I said
"What are you-" William said
Sam turned around with a sigh, and she curtsied with a lot of hesitation.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"Louis' vaccination."
"Here?" I said
"Yes, he was born here. And his doctor is here so-"
"You're not here because Allana is here?" I said, trying to trap her or something.
"Allana is here?" She said
"Yes, that's why some pathways are blocked-" Austin said
"Oh, that's why we took a long detour, Lou!" Sam said
"We should all go together and see her, probably have dinner afterward." I said
"Well, Brad's waiting for us in-" Sam started
"Brad's here too?" I said
I think I am scaring Sam already, I'm starting to sound like a stalker husband looking for his estranged wife.
"Yeah, I don't really know where he is-"
Austin handed me his phone and showed an Instagram post of the Kensington Palace. And it was Allana in this hospital, smiling and then Austin zoomed in and it was Brad in the background, holding my son.
"Are you like a distraction or something?" I said to Sam.
"What do you mean?" She replied as she scooped up Louis and carried him.
"Is she leaving now?" I said
"Level four sir." Austin said
"I'm sorry Sam but I really need to talk to my wife." I said as we walked away to the lifts.
I looked at my watch and it was already 3:17pm, if Sam was the distraction then it was strategically good. When we reached the fourth level, it was still slightly packed with press, the nurses and doctors were still there and also the children.
"Oh, good afternoon, sir." One nurse said, and his shocked face made everyone look at me and William.
"We decided to just crash the party." William said
Everybody smiled, but I can't find Allana or Brad.
"Children, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex has decided to join us." One doctor said
Since Allana was-is a doctor, she was always interested on patroning charities with medical stuff related to them, and I'm really not a fan of the scent of the hospital but as long as she's happy with it, I'm good.
The children said hello and we said hello but I can't find my wife.
"Austin, can you go around the floor and try to find her?" I said
"Yes sir."
"Just don't cause a distraction. Discreetly please." I said
"We couldn't resist waiting in the car so, we just decided to drop by." William said
The room laughed. William was socializing and I was socializing with an agenda, I was walking around trying to find Allana.
"We can only stay here for a short time, the kids are tired." I whispered to William.
We tried socializing for fifteen minutes and she wasn't here, so we decided to bid our goodbyes and stepped out of the hospital.
"I can't believe we didn't find her or even caught a glimpse of her, she what, admitted herself?" I said as we walked to the parking building.
"I don't think she would, she's risking Zach exposure to bacteria. The fact that she was here with Zach for two hours is bad enough. And I don't think she's that good a hider." William said
"Well, she has to be still within the area. And we think that she rode with Brad so, we follow Brad's car and we get to her." I said as we entered our car.
"This is turning into a wild goose chase." William said
"I think Brad's driving a black BMW. If I remember correctly." I said as Austin started the car.
"Pretty much like that, sir?" Austin said
"Well, fuck me. It's exactly like that." I said
