Has she regained her memories?
Evan’s heart skipped a beat before beating faster.
Susan was staring at the other woman in shock as her heart jumped into her throat. By her sides, her fingers slowly curled into fists.
Don’t tell me Nicole remembers everything?
Without speaking another word, Nicole led her children in the direction of the parking lot.
Evan watched her go. Recalling the look in her eyes and the tone she used, he felt like he had plunged into ice-cold waters. Like a statue, he stood there unmoving.
She remembers everything.
“Evan, I don’t think Ms. Lane is in her right mind currently. Shall I head over to Imperial Garden to help her look after the kids?”
It was several seconds later before Evan replied coldly, “No need.”
With that, he spun around and stalked toward the Maybach. The color drained from Susan’s face before she hurried after him.
Back at Imperial Garden, the three kids were watching their mother, who was staring off into space blankly. They sighed silently.
“Mommy, do you remember everything now?” Juan asked in a soft voice.
His words dragged her back to the present and Nicole nodded.
Nina exclaimed in delight, “Really, Mommy?” After a beat, she huffed angrily and continued, “Mommy, since you’ve remembered everything, you should take revenge on Daddy! He married another woman when you lost your memories! He’s such a big, bad meanie!”
“Mommy, Daddy… He…” Kyle was lost for words, not knowing how to defend Evan.
He could tell his father still loved his mother and most likely had his own reasons for marrying that woman.
But that did not change the fact that he did marry another woman.
Nicole was quiet. Her mind was in turmoil at the fact that Evan had married another woman. She did not know what she was feeling right then. All she knew was that she did not want to think about her feelings. She wanted to avoid and escape from them.
“What’s most important now is that we find Maya! Don’t worry, Mommy is still able to take care of all of you alone. Are you all willing to stay with Mommy?”
The three kids did not hesitate in nodding.
Daddy’s already abandoned Mommy so we can’t do the same! We’ll stay with Mommy forever!
At Hillside Villa.
Evan made call after call while Susan lingered nearby, her heart thumping furiously in her chest.
“Find out who kidnapped Maya. I want them to pay a hundred times over for what they did to her!”
His voice was as sharp as a blade, a blade that Susan felt was hovering over her own head. Her breathing was erratic while her fingers kept twitching. At last, she excused herself by saying she needed to change clothes.
Slipping into the room, she swiftly locked the door and sent out a message.
About an hour later, Evan received news about Maya’s whereabouts.
Maya was standing outside the doors of a dessert store like an abandoned child. Her face was filthy as she blinked her bright eyes, staring at the passers-by.
How did I get here?
Stars swam in her vision and she rubbed her eyes blearily. There was an utterly lost look on her face.
Glancing around, she did not see her mother or siblings anywhere. Scared about getting lost, she did not dare move from that spot. Thus, all she did was stand there, all the while crying out softly for her parents. Tears welled up in her eyes before spilling over.
When Evan finally arrived, she immediately burst into tears and wailed loudly, “Daddy!”
He pulled her into a tight hug, wiping away her tears as he shushed her gently. “It’s alright. Everything’s okay now, Maya.”
When they were seated in the car, he asked her, “How did you get here?”
This dessert store was quite a distance away from the amusement park.
Still a little misty-eyed, Maya shook her little head. “I don’t know. When we were at the amusement park, a lady called me over to her. She smiled at me a-and I don’t remember anything after that. Then when I opened my eyes, I was already at that dessert store.”
Did she run into some human traffickers? But why would they abduct her then drop her off at that dessert store?
Bewildered, Evan had his men investigate the matter further. Whatever the case, he was extremely glad that nothing had happened to Maya.
“Daddy, I want to see Mommy. Can you take me to Mommy please?”
