Will, Ms Murray:
Hi, when both of you see this letter, I have left H City. I know that Will will ask me where your child is, he must know that the last few pages of the diary are torn by me but she doesn’t state where the child is in the diary! Will, I know my sister and I have committed serious crimes. I will pray for you every day, I hope that you can find your child as soon as possible! Sorry! Sorry again! --- Written by Lucille.
“Just as simple as this? She disappears afterwards? But she knows the ally!” William was dumbfounded, “She knows but she does not tell us, where does she go?”
Reggie shook his head, “I don’t know, she only gives me a letter!”
He smiled bitterly. When he thought of Lucille’s letter and she wrote it firmly, his heart broke. He thought that he had figured out where did she go. However, if she hoped that she belonged there, he did not want others to disturb her!
Reggie took a glance at William and then looked at Sherry, he sympathized with them for losing their children but there was nothing he could help.
Reggie recalled Lucille’s letter, she said, “Reggie! I regret that I don’t meet you in an earlier year! You’re so positive, so gentle and so excellent but I am so dirty and evil, how can I match with your dignity? Reggie, please forgive me for escaping again! I will go to a place that can heal my soul, don’t worry, I will not commit suicide, I will not hurt my body again! I will live peacefully, I will bless you at the heart-warming place. Forget me, marry a pure and naïve girl and give birth to a baby, that is what I wish. Reggie, I know I am too selfish, I abandon you and look for the peaceful place that can heal me. I am so selfish, please forgive me, I know that you are the only one doting on me in this world! Dote on me again, can you? Please don’t look for me…”
At the church far away, the heart-warming piano sound could be heard…
A woman who dressed as a nun sat in front of the piano and played a happy song for the children…

“Reggie, don’t you know where does Ms Mclean go?” Sherry thought that Reggie would know it.
“I also don’t know,” Reggie shook his head, “If she wants to let me know where is she, probably she will not leave. She wants to start a new life, in my opinion, if she has the thought, I will respect her choice.”
He would feel blissful and happy if she lived happily and enjoyed her life.
“William, how about our children?” Sherry asked softly, she was dispirited at the moment, she thought that Lucille knew it but she disappeared.
William showed a blue face but he responded firmly, “I will find them! Let’s go home!”
Sherry nodded her head and stood up, “Reggie, take care, bye!”
Reggie opened his mouth and nodded, “You too.”
William nodded, he held Sherry’s hand and walked out.
Reggie called them when they walked for a few steps, “William, Sherry, maybe, if I am not wrong, Lucille goes to a place that can guide her for not being hazy. The place should be tranquil for her to confess. But I am not sure.”
William was stunned, “You mean she probably has become a nun?”
“Maybe!” Reggie nodded his head.
“I will notify you when I find her!” William said while called and searched for all the temples and churches.
At Brooks’ house.
The knocking sound of the door was heard, Sarah knew that it was Liam, “Don’t disturb me, I want to stay alone.”
“Sarah, you hide yourself from me for a whole day! Why do you keep hiding after you find Sammy? Sarah, open the door, let’s have a talk!” Liam’s voice was heard from outside.
Sarah bit her lips, she did not how to face him. She did not want him to take responsibility for her, if he was just taking responsibility, she did not need it forever.
“Open the door!” Liam’s voice lowered, “If you don’t want me to kick the door, you better open it!”
“I don’t want to see you, it’s up to you to kick.”
“I will kick now!”
“Can’t you let me stay alone for a while?” Sarah roared, “I say I don’t want to see you, I am serious.”
The children were found, they did not need to cooperate anymore. She only hoped that she could find William and Sherry’s children as soon as possible. Then, she would get closer to Sammy slowly and brought him back home.
Bring him back?
Can she do it? Does the child want to follow her? Where should she bring him to? Will his father and mother allow her to bring the child away? How can she be so cruel to separate him from his father?
Thinking of the point, she became depressed.
“Sarah, open the door!” Liam shouted outside.
Sarah could not help but open the door.
Once she opened the door, their sights met. She was dumbfounded when she saw his tired face, then she became irritated and said hurriedly, “Say whatever you want to say, I will listen!”
“Sarah!” Liam stood at the door, he showed a serious and calm expression, he said, “Sarah, why you hide yourself from me?”
“The children have been found!” Sarah said, “What else can we do?”
She didn’t want a marriage that did not have love because everyone was greedy. She did not want to occupy his body with marriage, his body was useless without soul, “You can have your girlfriend but don’t bring her back temporarily. You can live with others outside too but you cannot do it after getting married!”
“Sarah? Why do I want to have a girlfriend?” Liam was confused.
Sarah said sadly, “Aren’t you inseparable from women? Can you live without women? Don’t worry, I will not interfere with your life to be a normal man. I allow you to have a girlfriend, it does not matter how you spend your time outside as long as you don’t hurt the child!”
“Damn!” Liam cursed lowly, “Why do I want to meet other women? When do I say that I can’t live without women? Why do I want to spend my time outside?”
Liam was furious.
Sarah was speechless, ‘Doesn’t he behave like that in the past few years?’
Sarah turned her body and walked out, “If you don’t want to leave, then I will leave!”
She was so boring, she could not see Sammy and accompany him every day, she was so suffering, she wanted to have a walk outside.
“Sarah!” Liam chased after her.
However, Sarah had got in a taxi quickly, the car left.
Liam also called a taxi and followed her. The taxi moved, he instructed the driver, “Driver, please drive faster, don’t miss up the car in front!”
Sarah stopped the taxi in front of a café. Liam got down the taxi too. He saw Ashley Jones arrived, they entered the café together.
He did not enter the café, he just smoked outside the café.
Then, he called Leon Hickman, “Leon, come here quickly, Ashley is here, the address is…”
After hanging up the call, his phone rang again, he looked at it, it was William, “Will?”
“Tell your parent, I think they must be very nervous. Sherry asks you to tell your parent first, the children are found, tell your father that we appreciate his help in finding our children.”
“Will! Thank you!” Liam was touched and nearly sobbed, “Thank you and Sherry!”
“No need to thank me, we don’t need that word!” William said.
“OK! I will inform them!” Liam reddened his eyes.
