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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThree 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."

The 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe 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.
