Chapter 447
Liam saw this and also climbed onto the bed to go to Isabel’s other side.
Isabel immediately hugged him and said in a choked voice, “Liam, I want Mommy.”
Liam stroked her little head and hugged her back, saying, ” Mommy will come back.”
“But Mommy left because Baddie made her angry. She didn’t even take her phone.”
“She’ll come back when her anger goes away.”
“Really?”
“She’ll definitely come back for us.”
“You’re right. We’re her precious babies.”

As they chatted, Isabel’s voice grew smaller and smaller.
Liam also closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The room quieted down.
Odell looked at their small figures hugging each other, and suddenly felt his vision blur for a few
moments.
Three days later.In the area where Cloudy Heart Lake was connected to the river.A group of people
who had just finished a round of salvaging sat around, eating boxed lunches together.While eating,
they could not help but chat.“Ugh, it’s been almost six days. Why can’t we find anyone?”“She was
either washed away to some corner, or she was rescued by someone else.”“No way. We’ve already
searched the vicinity during the night of the accident, and we’ve checked all the surrounding areas as
well. There’s no trace of anyone who saved someone from the lake.”“The wind was very strong that
night, and I heard that Mrs.Carter’s leg is crippled. It would be hard to save herself even if she was a
capable swimmer. She must be gone by now.”“Yeah. I just wonder where her body washed up.”ii iiThe
wind blew from upstream, blowing their conversation clearly into an MPV parked not far away.The car
was dimly lit.A man sat alone in the back. His expression was not visible in the dark.
However, the car was filled with a suffocating and depressing atmosphere.In the driver’s seat, Cliff sat
ramrod straight. He did not even dare to look in the rearview mirror, let alone turn around.An unknown
amount of time passed.Just as Cliff was about to suffocate from the tension, a phone suddenly rang.It
was Odell’s phone.He brought the phone to his ear.The carriage was quiet, and Cliff vaguely heard the
voice of the old butler.He did not know what the butler said, but Odell suddenly said, ” We’re going
back.”Cliff quickly responded and drove the car.In the Carter residence.Isabel was annoyed after not
seeing Sylvia for several days, so she walked around and accidentally stumbled into the room where
Madam Carter was resting.
The door was always locked on Odell’s orders.However, Isabel stared at this room in curiosity.She
even suspected that the baddie locked her mommy up in this room.Thus, she found Liam, and the
siblings came up with a plan. They threw something at the door.Violet, who was keeping watch inside,
heard the commotion and opened the door to see what was going on.Isabel and Liam took advantage
of the situation to scamper inside the room, where they saw Madam Carter laying on the bed.“Great-
grandma?”The two little ones froze at the same time.Violet was startled and quickly said to them,
“Young Master and Young Miss, Madam Carter needs to rest. You two go out first, okay?”Liam went
straight to the bedside.Isabel also followed and climbed onto the bed.Violet did not know what to do
and quickly ran out to find Sebastian.The two little ones had already climbed to Madam Carter’s
side.“Great-grandma.”“Great-grandma, wake up.”They called out to Madam Carter.However, the old
lady still had her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.
