“Do you want me to courier this package to the office or will you come over to pick it up?” Theresa asked. Even Theresa did not know why he wanted Armand to come to take the two kids. She also did not know that he had gone to White City.
“What is it?” Matthew looked outside the window. Based on the location that Mr. Forbis sent, it did not seem that there were any hospitals in that area.
“It’s a parcel for Dolores but there is no sender information. Ms. Flores saw it and asked me to give it to you. I don’t know what the package contains.” She quickly added, “Since you asked Armand to take the kids away, she had become somewhat cautious.”
Matthew knew that she would become apprehensive as soon as Armand went to her home. Boyce had messaged him that Jeffery’s case would be determined in the coming days. So he expected that Jeffery’s case would be determined once he returned from White City.
“Leave it with you. I’ll get it from you when I get back.” He came to White City to visit Jayden and would be back thereafter. He was not at B city and there was no point in sending the package to his office.
“Okay then. Contact me when you’re back.”
“Is there a hospital around here?” Armand was driving the car, glanced rearwards, and said, “This place looks familiar.”
Theresa heard Armand’s voice, said goodbye, and ended the call.
Matthew kept his phone and he noticed that this place looked like the place where Dolores learned from Mr. Forbis how to create the Gambiered Canton Gauze.
“Just head towards the address.” He started to worry that Jayden was not at the hospital.
They drove along some dirt road for a while before coming to a sprawling courtyard with a grand mansion.
“What is this place?” Asked Armand curiously.
“This is Granny’s place,” Andrew said. He knew as Dolores once brought him and his sister here.
Armand looked at him and then towards Matthew. It was obvious that Andrew meant Victoria. So this was the Forbis residence?
Matthew suppressed his reactions and did not appear to be surprised by this. The car stopped and he opened the door. The kids were delighted to return to this place and jumped out of the car.
“Is Grandpa here?” Amanda asked.
“Most likely.” If Jayden was at White City, then he would most probably be at the Forbis residence.
At this moment, Mr. Forbis walked out of the mansion and immediately quicken his pace when he saw the two kids and said, “Wow, you two are here too!”
“We’re here to see grandpa!” The two kids said in unison.
