Charles Northwood quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain, spotting the abandoned car with its smashed window and open door.
He immediately frowned and parked the car, walking over to it.
The inside of the car was in chaos, showing signs of a struggle.
However, there was no sign of blood, indicating that the kidnappers hadn't harmed Nia Mitchell physically.
Under the car seat, he found Nia Mitchell's phone discarded during her struggle, and Charles Northwood picked it up.
In his ears, the echoes of Nia Mitchell's heart-wrenching screams seemed to linger.
She…
Must have been utterly terrified.
At that moment, when she called him, she was placing her last hope in him.
Yet, he could only be frantic with worry.
If he had been with her, she wouldn't have felt so helpless.
Thinking about how scared she must have been, he was consumed with guilt.
He reached for his phone and called the Northwood family.
"Huh? When did you start disturbing people's sleep?"
