Page 89 of Secret Triplets for Christmas

The nurse's expression dropped, and she looked over to a nurse on the other side of the room.

Oh, God. One of the girls was missing.

I started to get up, but the nurse closest to me pushed me back in bed. "You can't go anywhere right now."

"I have to find my daughter."

"You’re in no condition at the moment to find her. The police are here waiting to talk to you. Let me get them now.”

The other nurse hurried out, and the one with me said, “We’ll give you a moment to talk to the police, but then we need to take you for a few tests.”

She left, and a moment later, Flynn came in. “Lindsay, are you alright?”

“They took one of my girls.” My words came out on a sob. Terror filled me. “You were supposed to protect us.”

“I know. We’re trying to find her.”

“How did this happen?”

“My guy was watching your house, not you and your family. It didn’t occur to me that this could happen. I’m sorry.”

It was easy to blame him, but this was my fault. I should have handed over those documents to the person texting me.

“We’ve been able to talk to a few witnesses who indicated an SUV purposefully ran into you and a man got out, took one of the girls…” He looked at a notepad he was holding. “Olivia. And drove off.”

I shook my head. How could this be happening?

“I was wondering if you had gotten another text or something?”

I needed to pull myself together for Olivia’s sake. “Last night… but…” I looked around. “I don’t know where my phone is. But Oliver got a text too.”

“I’ll go see him, let him know what’s going on. Maybe it’s time you and he handed those papers over.”

I nodded, thinking the same thing.

“I told Oliver I could help him.” He shook his head.

“Please find Olivia.”

“We’ll find her.” Flynn was exiting my room when my father rushed in.

“Lindsay!” He hurried to me. “Are you okay?”

“They took Olivia.” I started to weep.

My father wrapped me up in his arms. When I was little, he could always make me feel safe, but while I appreciated his comfort, the agony of what could be happening to Olivia wasn’t anything that could be soothed.

“Mira is with Georgie and Cassie. I’ll put calls into whoever I have to call to make sure everyone is out looking for Olivia.” He pulled back. “Is there any chance that this is Oliver’s doing?”

I frowned, at first not knowing what he meant. “Oliver wouldn’t cause an accident and kidnap one of the girls.” But I remembered wondering if he’d taken them when I found their beds empty.

“No. I don’t see him doing that.”

“Maybe he’s behind this whole thing about Liam.”

I shook my head. “He has the papers. If that were the case, he’d have what he wanted.”

My father still didn’t look convinced.
