Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1114

Maybe Brown and the others really pulled it off this time.

Patton didn't keep anything from Cynthia Lee. As soon as he got the news, he passed it on.

The second Cynthia heard it, her whole face lit up with excitement. She couldn't help blurting out, “Is it true? Did Camila Davis actually go down?”

Patton nodded seriously. “Seems like it. Lavinia Roberts and Sandra Taylor have no reason to lie to me. Unless, of course, they've been caught.”

That last part made Cynthia pause. She took a breath, her mind working fast. “It’s not impossible. Dennis is pretty capable, after all.”

The possibility that Camila Davis hadn’t actually been destroyed, that she’d been celebrating for nothing, wiped the smile right off Cynthia’s face. Her lips pressed into a thin line, her mood sinking.

Patton noticed the shift and tried to reassure her. “Ms. Lee, don’t stress. Even if we’re not sure about the girls, we can double-check. If something really happened to Camila, her family back home wouldn’t just sit there. We can keep an eye on them, quietly.”

Cynthia nodded, thinking it through. “You’re right. There’s no way her family wouldn’t know if she disappeared. Go find out what you can and get back to me as soon as possible.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Good idea,” Cynthia agreed, already thinking up a believable excuse to show up there.

Without wasting time, she went to find her mother, Hazel Wood.

That afternoon, the two of them headed to the hospital together. Cynthia’s cover story was that she was taking her mom in for a routine check-up. To keep things looking normal, she even stayed with Hazel through a couple of basic tests.

When they were done, Cynthia casually led her mom in the direction of the patient rooms, pretending it was just a wrong turn. That’s when they happened to bump into Audrey Williams, who was just stepping out of one of the rooms.
