Hope is gone.
Emma wondered how she had gotten back to that cold cage, where every minute she had spent before had felt like torture.
It was tormented by why Caleb hadn't come to see her yet.
When she heard Hope's words, she sat in this cold cage for a long, long time, unable to breathe from the pain, and unable to stop the tears from flowing down her face.
......
Mulherd Manor.
It's really cold in the winter in Ingford.
Alina was waiting for Emma to have the final verdict, then she would go back to Shirling and still be able to go back to spend the New Year with her child.
However, Andre called.
"I checked, the child is on her way."
Alina, "Alone?"
"Alone."
"This time, whose phone did she steal?"
Is this a daughter? That's a total devil child.
Anyone with a child like that in the family would have a collective heart attack.
"It's Grandpa's."
Without waiting for her to think anything, Andre added, "Grandpa doesn't know yet."
Because of the two previous sneakings, it made the whole family wary of that child, and this time, she stole Grandpa’s phone.
And Andre was the first to notice that the child was missing, and given how smart that child was, he gathered the whole family's phones to check it out.
Eventually, the itinerary of Penny was found on Grandpa's mobile phone.
"And what are you going to? How are you going to tell Grandpa?"
"The reason I'm calling you on this phone is so that you can go and answer to Grandpa yourself."
"I..."
"I can help you with anything, but this is the only thing I absolutely can't help you with."
Just thinking of the previous two times, Andre would not be so stupid as to interfere with this now.
Alina saw the purpose of Andre's phone call to her.
Not knowing how she hung up the phone from Andre, Alina only felt powerless.
An hour later, the child's call came.
"Mummy, your little princess has arrived, pick me up at the airport."
Where did she learn these words?
By the way,Penny is getting in touch with school life.
She's only been away for a few months, and Penny's life has been turned upside down..
From a child who started out only pampering in her arms, she has now become an older child who is beginning to be exposed to society.
"As you wish, my princess." At this moment, Alina said dotingly to Penny on the other side of the phone, imitating the tone Grandmother used for her mother back then.
Then she rushed to get out the door.
She saw Chester get out of the car, Lucas was by his side. He was discharged from the hospital and he was being set up by Emma and Lois when he was at Emma's hometown.
When he saw Alina, Lucas' eyes were all respectful.
"Going out?" Chester stepped forward.
Alina, "Yes."
Nodding, "Go pick up my daughter."
"To Shirling?"
"No, she is at the airport."
