Chapter 445
With a cup of water, she swallowed several pills into her tummy.
Then, she said to Odell, “I’m done eating, Baddie. Hurry up and take me to Mommy.”
Odell was silent for a moment. “Okay.”
Then, he carried her outside.
Liam also immediately jumped down from the chairand followed him out the door and into the car.
The journey was silent.
Isabel sat in Odell’s lap, looking out the window expectantly with her large eyes.
Liam also looked out from time to time.
Only Odell’s expression remained gloomy.
Soon, the car arrived at the Carter residence.
Odell carried Isabel and took Liam inside.
He brought them straight to Sylvia’s bedroom.
After opening the door, he put Isabel down.
Isabel immediately went inside with Liam. However, even after searching the room, they did not find Sylvia.
Isabel quickly raised her face and asked Odell, “Where’s Mommy?”
Odell replied calmly, “She might have gone out to do something.”
Isabel’s expression instantly changed as she shouted at him angrily, “You baddie! You just don’t want us to meet with Mommy again!”
Odell pursed his lips and said nothing.
At that moment, Liam suddenly said, “This was carved by Mommy, it
Isabel turned around and ran to his side, looking at the wood carvings that Sylvia left there.
There were a Rubik’s cube, a little crown, and a few other widgets.
She took the little crown and babbled, “Uh-huh. This was carved by Mommy. She said that she’d give me a crown!”
Liam also touched the small Rubik’s cube.
Then, he looked at Odell with large eyes and asked, “Dad, did Mommy really go out?”
Odell’s expression did not change. “Yes.”
Aunt Tonya turned around and found Odell.
She asked directly, “I heard from Sebastian that you were looking for someone in Cloudy Heart Lake these past two days. Did something happen to Syl?”
Odell pursed his lips in silence.
Aunt Tonya’s expression turned cold and she could not help but shout, “Say something! What happened to Syl?”
Odell looked at Sebastian. “Sebastian, look after the children. I’m going out.”
Then, he stepped toward the door.
Aunt Tonya was so angry that she wanted to go up to interrogate him, but Sebastian pulled her back.
“Calm down, Tonya.”
Aunt Tonya cried with reddened eyes, “Something happened to Syl. How can I be calm?”
Although Odell did not say anything, she was not a fool. She could guess that Sylvia fell into the lake.
‘How could Sylvia have fallen into the lake?
‘It’s been two days. Something must’ve happened to her!’
Sebastian sighed. “If they haven’t found her yet, it means she might still be alive. There’s no point in being anxious. We have to take care of the children.”
