Chapter 2828
[Nothing much. What have you been busy with lately?] Lawrence asked, appearing to be genuinely concerned.
[Oh, I've been playing games] Nolan responded.
Then, he corrected himself by saying, [Playing games with my little sister.]
[Alright, you should spend more time with your sister...]
In the meantime, Nicole was squinting as she observed the exchange between the two.
There seemed to be nothing problematic with Lawrence, but she could not shake the feeling that there was something fishy about him contacting Nolan at this hour.
Lawrence then went on to engage in idle chatter with Nolan for a while longer before logging off.
However, Nicole's frown only deepened. 'Is Lawrence really concerned about Nolan? Is that why he is reaching out and chatting with the boy?'
"Mommy, any progress on the investigation from before?" Nolan looked up and asked Nicole.
"Not yet. Perhaps well have to wait until you've cleared the final level to discover the answers we've been looking for," she replied.
She had a hunch that clearing this game would reveal the truth about the game.
"Oh." Nolan nodded. "I'll let you know in advance when I've gotten there, Mommy."
"Sure." Nicole smiled, and patted Nolan in the head softly.
Pleased, Nolan smiled and proceeded to busy himself with another level.
Nicole then took Jared to Lana's room. They already had a clear understanding of the situation Nolan had found himself in, so there was not much for them to worry about now. They just needed to wait for Nolan to reach the final stage. Perhaps then they would finally understand the true purpose behind this game.
"Daddy, Mommy?" Lana called out while she fiddled with the storybook in her hand.
Upon noticing how tense she was, Jared gently held Nicole's hand. "Well find out eventually."
"Yeah," Nicole nodded.
She was convinced that there would be traces and evidence left behind once something had been done.
A tired Jared then caressed her hair and kissed her on the
forehead. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
There was no sense in racking her brain thinking about what the game was and who actually created it, so it was better for her to drop it for now and wait patiently.
After letting out a sigh, Nicole led Jared toward the bed.
Indeed, the truth was not something they would be able to figure out right now, so they had to leave it to time, and curiously, she believed that they would not have to wait for too long...
