In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 586

Ashton nodded. “It hasn’t been raining for very long. You can try to continue tracking the footprints.”

The policeman shook his head and sighed. “That’s what we thought at first. However, after we found the footprints, we noticed a lot of stray dogs around the area, and it also started to rain. The tracks have basically been washed off. There are mostly farms around here, so it’s not that easy to check thoroughly.”

When we entered the factory, the policeman turned to Louis and said, “Look, it’s here. Take a look and see if it’s something that was with the child when she got lost.”

Naturally, Louis did not recognize Snowfluff. He looked at me and said, “Letty, come over and see.”

I was feeling a little weak in the legs and had been trembling ever since I entered.

Looking at Snowfluff lying lifelessly on the ground, I instantly lost strength in my legs and started to fall to the ground.

Luckily, Ashton acted fast enough and caught me in time, hugging me tightly to himself. He stared at Snowfluff and frowned. “It’s Summer’s dog.”

When he was done speaking, he placed me on a chair and patted me on the arm. He said comfortingly, “Don’t worry. No news is good news. They have found Snowfluff, so they’ll be able to find Summer soon.”

I pressed my lips together as tears constantly flowed down my face. With a choked voice, I asked, “Will they harm Summer?”

He shook his head and looked at me with determination in his eyes. “Trust me, I won’t let anyone hurt Summer.”

He then walked over to look at Snowfluff’s corpse.

The forensic pathologist beside him said, “The dog was poisoned. The time of death was less than twelve hours.”

John glanced at the surroundings, then turned to the policeman who led us in. “Is there any surveillance footage around here?”

“This place has been abandoned for a very long time. It’s impossible that there’s any.”

I looked at Snowfluff and could not help but shut my eyes. Then, I turned to look at Jared.

There was a strange, cold feeling in my heart.

After listening to them discuss the situation for a while, I got up, glanced at Ashton who had been silent the whole time, and left the building.

I sat in the car for a while before John and Louis returned to find me in a daze.

John thought that I was worried about Summer and tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much. If the police can find Snowfluff, they’ll find Summer soon enough.”

I pressed my lips together and lifted my head to look at him, then asked, “What if we’re looking in the wrong direction?”
