Chapter 858
Isabel and Liam both looked at Sylvia. When they saw her panicked face, Isabel immediately asked, “What’s wrong,
Mommy? Did you meet a bad guy?”
Sylvia snapped back to her senses and saw Isabel and Liam’s worried eyes.
She quickly hugged them, feeling their soft little bodies, and her emotions soon calmed down. She said, “I just saw
a bad guy trying to rob someone at knifepoint, but he was stopped by the hospital security. I was just a little
frightened, but I’m fine now.”
“Don’t be scared, Mommy. Liam and I are here.” Isabel immediately burrowed into her arms and hugged her.
Liam frowned and said, “Mommy, don’t walk around alone anymore.”
“Yeah, I know.” Sylvia also did not think that she would run into Thomas in the short while she was alone when
calling Odell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe little ones were most likely fooled by her excuse and did not ask any more questions. They merely sat close to
her.
However, Sylvia still felt very uneasy. She took out her phone and sent a message to Odell. “I saw him right after I
called you. He’s back.”
The moment the text message was sent, her phone rang.
It was Odell.
After glancing at the two little ones, she brought the phone to her ear.
The man’s gloomy and anxious voice rang out. “Where are you now?”
Sylvia replied, “I’m on my way home with the children. We’ll reach in a few minutes.”
“Don’t turn off your phone. Give me a call as soon as you get home,” he said.
She hummed before he hung up. She hugged Isabel and Liam, looking at the rearview mirror from time to time.
The cars around them passed them without incident. There were no vehicles that seemed to be following them.
He most likely did not come after them.
In Carter Tower, after hanging up the phone, Odell walked out of the office in large steps.
Cliff quickly followed him and asked, “Where are you going, Master Carter? There’s a multinational meeting later.”
“Cancel it. The replacement date will be determined later.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll inform them right away.”
“Also, contact Officer Sach again and tell him that Thomas has reappeared. He was sighted ten minutes ago at
Westchester Hospital near the Art Academy,” Odell instructed as he walked.
Cliff’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “Yes, I’ll contact Officer Sach right now.”
Officer Sach was a detective who had solved several large cases in the past two years. Odell had once asked him to
investigate Thomas, so they were somewhat acquainted.
On the other side, Sylvia’s car soon returned to the old residence.
She immediately brought the two children out of the car and quickly entered the bedroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAunt Tonya, Wanda, and Flora were sitting and chatting together, and in their middle was a small crib in which Flint
was sleeping.
Seeing the little one sleeping soundly, Sylvia’s nervousness was relieved slightly.
However, Thomas’s sudden appearance still made her feel uneasy.
She found an excuse to drag Aunt Tonya to the bathroom and told her what she had just seen in the hospital. She
told Aunt Tonya to be more careful and not to leave the house if possible.
Aunt Tonya quickly asked, “Did he do anything to you?”
“I ran as soon as I saw him,” Sylvia replied.
“That’s good.” After a pause, Aunt Tonya asked, “Did you tell Odell?”
“I told him on the way back.”
“Good.”
After that, Sylvia went back to her room. She took Flint into her arms and pulled Isabel and Liam to her side.
Meanwhile, Aunt Tonya sat not far away.
