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, itIsabel 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.”Isabel asked, “Why did she
go out?”
“I don’t know.”She said, “Hurry up and call her to ask.” Odell said, “She forgot to take her phone.”Isabel
frowned deeply. “Then when will she come back?”Odell said, “I don’t know.”“You don’t know anything,”
she grumbled in displeasure. Then, her eyes flickered and she lifted her feet to jump onto Sylvia’s
bed.She laid on the bed and said, “Then I’ll wait here with Liam for Mommy to come back!”Odell pursed
his lips and said nothing at her enthusiastic appearance.Beside him, Liam also frowned as he stared at
Odell with large and clear eyes.‘Dad is acting strange.’
Isabel and Liam stayed there.Before long, Sebastian and Aunt Tonya also came.They let out a sigh of
relief when they saw Isabel dozing on Sylvia’s bed and Liam sitting quietly, playing with the Rubik’s
cube.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.”
