"You... you even went to him?"
"Yeah, I sneaked out to Daddy's company to see him when Uncle was busy the other day, but he seemed to not know me."
When Adie reached the point, he appeared very composed.
It was because the most difficult time was over. He was no longer sad but a little regretful now.
"Oh, my dear Adie. You've suffered so much!"
Renee's eyes became scarlet before she pulled Adie into her arms, sobbing. "It's my fault. I thought you and Abby were very strong and sensible, and I ignored your feelings. Let me say sorry to you. I promise that I'll never leave you guys again. Never!"
When she thought of how Adie went to Stefan pitifully, yet Stefan ignored him, a pang of grief grabbed her heart.
Adie would feel that he was abandoned by the whole world when his mother went missing, and his father ignored him.
"But what about Daddy's brother? Margaret told me that you need to take care of that person. So, you'll leave one day, won't you?"
Holding Renee's hand, Adie tried to sound her out carefully.
"I'll think of something. I'll bring you guys with me no matter where I go. I'll never leave you guys again."
Renee held Adie tightly and promised him while sobbing.
"Mommy, I trust you. You love Abby and me the most. You won't leave us, but Daddy... I think he's forgotten about Abby and me."
Adie sounded a little sad. "If you can be with Daddy and if we can go back to live on Sun Island again, it'll be wonderful."
"Just forget about him as if... you'd never had him by your side."
"Miss Ren, you're just back. Why don't you rest for a night first before you go there?"
When Margaret noticed that Renee was about to go out, she felt very sorry for Renee.
"How can I rest comfortably when Lei is suffering in the cold prison?"
"Yes... you're right."
Margaret heaved a long sigh. "Miss Lei fell out with her family just to help you. So, you're the only one who can help her now."
"Don't worry. It's just a small affair. I own the most awesome legal team in Beach City."
While smiling, she consoled Margaret. After that, she went straight to the prison where Leia was without any delay even though night had fallen.
