[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

1912年4月10日正午12点05分

When Lily returned home, she was surprised to find that her younger sister, who had been nestling at home like a hen hatching eggs, was not at home? !

After asking the housekeeper's grandfather, I realized that I was going to see Carl off.

Lily rolled her eyes and curled her lips.

snort!This stinky man who caused Annie trouble, what are you going to do with him?Didn't you say you will go back to the UK?It's not like I won't come back!

Looking up, the grandfather clock in the corner of the living room was pointing to a little past twelve.

I heard that the Titanic set sail at eleven o'clock, presumably Annie will be back soon, so let's wait for her to have lunch together.

With a certain idea, Lily decided to go back to the study to find some books for leisure. Recently, she has been busy with Robert, and she hasn't had a good rest for a long time. Today, she will read a book first, and then go out shopping with Annie tomorrow.

At this time, the red-haired elder sister never thought that she would not be able to wait for her sister to come back for lunch.

1912年4月10日下午1点40分

When Aaron broke into the conference room, Robert had already signed a contract with the representative of the cooperative company, and the two sides were shaking hands in a friendly manner.

It was also because of this contract that he was unable to take Lily and Annie to experience the maiden voyage of the Titanic.But he has already decided that next time he has a chance, he will take the two girls to the United States for a visit, and check if there is a suitable business opportunity to invest in.

The other party probably also saw that Aaron had something very important to do, so he waved his hand and stopped Robert from sending him away.

"Stay, we can go out by ourselves."

At this time, Robert was not polite to the other party, "Well, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

As soon as the cooperative representatives left the meeting room, Robert immediately turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" The moment he saw Aaron rushing in, he felt a very bad feeling, and his heart was pounding at a high speed. !

"Lily called just now and said that Anne was missing. She went to the Hockley House to find out the situation first, and asked you to go there immediately."

Robert took a deep breath, didn't ask what "disappeared" meant at this time, picked up his coat, turned around and left the office.

"Cancel the afternoon. If I don't come to the company tomorrow, the meeting will be held by Hansen or postponed. If you can't refuse the invitation, you and Hansen can decide."

Robert kept walking, telling Aaron to deal with the follow-up of his temporary departure while walking.

Even Aaron is very worried about little sister Annie's situation, but someone has to deal with the aftermath of the company's affairs. Robert, the real big brother, has already rushed over. He and Hansen can only tell Robert not to worry about the company's affairs and concentrate on looking for her. Little sister Annie, I hope it was just a false alarm!

Robert and Lily went to Hockley's house one after another.

When he stepped into the hall of Hockley's house, Owen, Karl's housekeeper in England, was gathering all the servants so that Lily could make inquiries.

Robert is now confused about Annie's matter, so he just nodded to Lily and let her continue to deal with it, while he sat aside and silently figured out the whole story from Lily's question.

"Has anyone seen Little Miss Robert come to visit Mr. Hockley today?" Lily's mood is extremely irritated now, her beautiful face is full of sternness.She should have figured out when Annie was coming back as soon as she found out she wasn't home, instead of waiting to start looking for her when something was wrong.

All the servants looked at each other, everyone looked at me and I looked at yours, but no one stood up and said that they had seen Annie.

To tell you the truth, they had never seen Miss Robert Jr., there used to be a very pretty lady with red hair and gray eyes who used to come over now and then, but that lady's name was not Robert!

Silence, a piece of silence...

Lily read the answer from the expressions of these people, and her clenched hands were covered with cold sweat.

Although Owen didn't know Lily, he knew Robert. This gentleman was a friend of the young master and had visited the young master several times.

When Lily went to the Hockley House to look for Anne, it was Owen who came forward to receive her. However, because Owen had never seen Annie, and he hadn't heard anyone report that there was an outsider's visit today, he was afraid that there might be some omissions. Gather everyone and ask them one by one.

Seeing the increasingly ugly faces of the Robert brothers and sisters, Owen bravely stood up and asked on behalf of everyone: "This...Miss Robert, we have never seen the appearance of Miss Robert, you see, can you tell us about the order? Sister, let's remember together and see if anyone has seen it nearby this morning?" I don't even know what the person looks like, and I don't know where to find help!

The brothers and sisters of Robert, who were anxious and angry, forgot about this for a moment. After realizing it, Lily patiently described Annie's appearance and characteristics, hoping that someone among them could give some useful information.

After hearing Lily's description, a group of people thought about it seriously, but no one had seen Annie.

Lily, who had lost all hope, collapsed on the sofa.

"Where's Abelson?" Robert, who has been silent since just now, has figured out what happened, so he began to take over the investigation. Since Annie didn't come here, let's start the investigation when Annie went out. Abel Sen is Annie's exclusive driver. If he comes back, he will know more about Annie.

"He is not feeling well today, so he asked for leave, and his nephew Harry came to take the class."

"What about Harry?"

"He hasn't come back yet..."

Anne was supposed to be home by twelve o'clock, but she wasn't seen until 01:30 in the afternoon, and Lily rushed to Hockley House to find someone.

According to the information she inquired, the Titanic was delayed, but it left the port before [-]:[-] p.m. at the latest, and it didn't take half an hour to get back to Robert's house from the port.What's more, Parker said that before Annie went out, she had told her that she would come back for lunch, and even the meal had been specified, which was her favorite rosemary lamb chops.

I don't know if it's because of nervousness, worry or hunger, Lily only felt her stomach throbbing, but her sister hadn't been found yet, and she couldn't rest yet, so she just pressed her stomach pale and didn't make a sound.

"Did Annie say she was looking for Karl when she went out?"

"Richard said she'd come to do it for Mr Hockley."

Robert thought for a while, "I'll go to the pier to see, you go home first." The see-off may also be to the pier, he has to go there to see if anyone has seen Annie.

"No, I'll go with you!" Lily pursed her lips, and stubbornly refuted Robert's arrangement. She was very worried about Annie, and she couldn't sit still when she went home.

Robert glanced at Lily's pale face and the palms pressed against her stomach, "Are you feeling unwell? You go home and have a rest. By the way, see if Anne is back. If she has already returned home, send someone to the pier to tell Me, if she hasn’t come back yet, I’ll send more people to help find her. You just stay at home and ask Dale to come and take a look for you. Anyway, if you’re not feeling well, you can’t help much, so don’t make trouble.”

Dale is the family doctor of Robert's family. He has served Robert's family for more than 20 years and knows the physical condition of everyone in Robert's family very well.

Robert knew that Lily would not listen to him and stay at home obediently if he didn't speak seriously, so he deliberately said seriously.Lily and Annie are both his younger sisters, so it is impossible for him to ignore Lily's physical discomfort just to find Annie.

Lily, who wanted to refute Robert, shut up when she heard the last sentence of "adding trouble". Her stomach hurts more and more. There is someone who can decide to go home and make sure Annie is home. If not, send someone to the pier to help find someone. Robert came directly from the company. There are only two people, he and the driver. If you need someone , Two people are simply not enough!

"Owen, I would like to trouble you to continue to pay attention to whether Sister Sister has come here. If you see Sister Sister, please tell her to go home quickly. If possible, please send some people nearby to help ask if anyone saw Sister Sister. My sister is here." With a cold face, Robert stood up and pulled Lily away.

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Robert. If there is any news about Miss Robert, I will notify you immediately." Owen is Karl's housekeeper in England. He usually obeys Davidson's orders when Davidson is around. Neither Karl nor Davidson are there. Here is where he decides.

While sending the serious Robert brothers and sisters out, Owen thought in his heart. This little Miss Robert had heard the young master mention it to Davidson several times, and Davidson had also helped the young master prepare a gift for Miss Robert, and Mr. Robert was the young master again. Good friend, Miss Robert's disappearance is such a big event, I would like to mention a few words by the way when I send a telegram to the young master later.

August 1912, 4 at 10 p.m.

After letting Lily go home, Robert rushed to the pier, which is now full of newspaper garbage, because it is by the sea, and there is still a fishy smell in the wind.

Robert and the driver separately searched for several big stores to inquire, but no one has seen Annie---there are too many people who come to the port today, those who take the boat, those who see off, those who watch the excitement, those who work... ...Wait wait, who has time to pay attention to a little blonde girl?

After the people sent by Lily arrived, Robert sent them out to investigate more carefully, not wanting to let go of any clues.

It's a pity that no one brought back any useful information until it got dark, and Annie disappeared without a trace after she left the house.

Lily has not sent anyone to inform him that Anne has arrived home safely, and there is no result from Owen's side. I am afraid that Anne was taken away by someone with a heart. If the other party has a request for Robert's house, then he will definitely accept it in the next few days. To the news about Anne.

Now he just hopes that Annie won't suffer too much before the other party contacts him!

His younger sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has just had two serious illnesses, so she can't stand it!

As for another even worse guess, Robert is unwilling to think about it now. It seems that if he doesn't think so, Anne will not encounter that situation.

----The other party wants nothing!

They would lose Annie forever!

Or wait until Anne's body!
