“I don’t know. I don’t know. He took her away directly from the hospital. But I saw him look for the routes on his cell phone, and his destination seemed to be Sichuan Province. For real. I’m telling the truth. I dare not to deceive you. I could tell that Mr. Herbert lied to me as he mentioned that Ms. Flores was his girlfriend. I found that Ms. Flores didn’t love him at all. For resisting him, she’d rather hurt herself. Really. That’s all I know.”
Bess started begging, “I just rent my flat to them. I didn’t do anything. I’ve told you all that I know.
Please have mercy on me and let me go.”
“If she has told the truth and they were heading to Sichuan Province, our men checking at the pass would find them. Since Sampson Herbert wasn’t willing to be found, he didn’t dare to go through the highway or did he dare to take the plane. Even the IDs are needed to take the train, so he could only take the pathways,” said Boyce analytically.
“I agree with Boyce. If we go after them now, probably we can catch up with them,” echoed Armand.
Cormac clenched his fists, blue veins popping up on the back of his hands. If it weren’t that the rest reason remained kept reminding him not to lose control, he might have already lost his mind, and nor would he be able to plan things for the next steps accurately.
“Armand, stay here with Abbott. Boyce, you come with me.”
Armand knew why he had such an arrangement. He would deal with Maria and the fake Loredana.
However, he couldn’t delay looking for Loredana. Hence, it would be more efficient to deal with both matters at the same time.
Besides, Boyce wasn’t so talkative as Armand. Right then, Cormac didn’t want to be bothered by other noises.
When they were leaving the flat, the woman who led them here was after them. She wanted to say something but stopped a few times.
Armand cast her a glance. He wrote a check to her. Although they hadn’t found Loredana, this woman was quite warm-hearted. He could see that her family condition wasn’t good.
The woman didn’t know much and wasn’t educated. After a hesitation, she asked, “Is this money?”
It was a piece of paper. She wondered if they wanted to deceive her since they could tell that she wasn’t educated.
“Take it to a bank and it would be exchanged for cash for you. There are a hundred thousand in total.”
One hundred thousand!
The woman kept swallowing. The savings in her family was only eight thousand, less than ten thousand. This was a huge amount of money to her. She could hardly believe that the money came so easy.
“Don’t you want it?” Armand frowned. It was the first time he wanted to be nice, but the other part doubted his sincerity.
“I want it.” The woman immediately took it over, holding it in her hands carefully. She was afraid that it would be broken so it would be useless when she took it to the bank.
Armand got in the car and left. He headed in a different direction from that Cormac was heading. He went to the detention house and dealt with the matter of Maria and Annabelle.
Boyce went to arrange the cars and men that they were going to take. Cormac returned to the villa first.
When his park was parked at the entrance of the villa, he didn’t get off immediately. Instead, he sat in the car and looked at the lights in the villa. Occasionally, he could hear Simona’s voice, which was soft and sweet. The clear childish voice was a pleasure to the ears.
The tremendous horror was like an invisible web that was closing up bit by bit. It was so tight that he found it hard to breathe.
He was horrified that his unawareness, carelessness, and mistake had put Loredana in trouble.
She got injured…
He didn’t know how to face the two kids.
He had been blaming himself for Loredana’s kidnap.
In the broad living room of the villa, the echoes could be heard when one spoke. Simona was extremely restless. She stepped on the stool, trying to climb up to the piano. Her thigh pressed a key, letting out a sound. Samuel frowned and walked over, “Simona, why are you so naughty?”
He didn’t think that a girl would look graceful when climbing up and down.
Pouting, Simona pointed out of the window, “I can see the outside when standing here. I want to see if
Daddy has come back.”
Samuel’s face was tightened. Daddy had gone to find Mommy. He wondered how it went and if Daddy had found her.
He was quite worried.
He was worried that something might happen to Mommy.
“Hey, Samuel. Is that Daddy’s car?” Simona exclaimed.
Samuel followed his sister’s gaze, only to find the car parked in the yard. He helped his sister down,
“Come down. Hurry.”
Simon blinked, “Why?”
“No reason. If you don’t come down, I’ll go away. Later when you come down, you’ll fall.” Samuel’s voice sounded anxious.
Maxina came over, “Samuel, why are you so anxious?”
“Nothing. I’m afraid that she’ll fall. Since you are here, look after her.” After finishing his words, Samuel trotted out of the door as fast as possible, rushing over to Cormac’s car. He stood in front of the car window and blurted out, “Have you found Mommy?”
There was only silence in the air.
The atmosphere between the two was quite stressful.
“I’ve been too anxious. If you’ve found her, she must have come back with you.” Samuel tried his best to suppress but after all, he was a kid. He trembled all over and said in a shaking tone, “I miss her now.
What should I do?”
Cormac got off and held him tightly. He said in a hoarse tone, “I’m sorry. I didn’t protect her well… I miss her, too.”
In his embrace, Samuel could clearly feel that Cormac’s chest was trembling as well.
He reached out to hug Cormac. No matter how he liked Mommy Samuel could feel that he was truly uneasy and guilty at this moment.
“We’ll go to find her.” Cormac made Samuel look into his eyes, “Would you come with us?”
“Yes,” Samuel answered without any hesitation.
“But, how about Simona? If Mommy and I were not here, she would make a fuss,” Samuel said worriedly.
“Daddy!”
Simona saw Cormac and trotted out from the house, rushing over. She reached out her chubby arms and hugged his legs, “Daddy.” She raised her head, and her pink lips pouted, “Daddy, can you release
Samuel and hold me?”
As she spoke, she widened her eyes and blinked, “Samuel is a man now. He doesn’t need a hug. Hug me!”
Samuel was speechless.
Cormac squatted down, holding the little girl into his arms. The little girl was in a pink dress today with a ponytail behind her head. There was short hair on her forehead, but her full forehead and watery big eyes were exposed. She wrapped around Cormac’s neck tightly and rubbed his face with her face,
“Daddy, you came home. Why isn’t Mommy with you? I haven’t seen her for several days. We have never parted before. I miss her so much.”
Cormac looked in distance, pressing two small hands on his chest. He tried his best to say calmly, “I’ll take you to find her.”
