About half an hour later, Wesley, Kiara, and Robert went to Layla's school to pick her up.
Layla was worried for Leah and George's safety, and she looked extremely sad. She looked like she had just stopped crying. Tears stained her face.
"Layla!" Robert saw Layla from afar. He immediately called her and ran over to her.
Kiara followed Robert, trying to chase after him.
Layla was a little surprised that Robert and Kiara were there. In order to maintain her older sister image, she quickly collected her emotions.
"Why are you two here?" Layla was given a huge hug by Robert before Kiara joined in.
"Layla, they insisted on coming to pick you up." Wesley took Layla's bag and asked, "What happened to George?"
"Uncle George said that my teacher has been kidnapped, so he went to rescue her." Layla was a little sad. "I wonder if he has found her."
"Your teacher has been kidnapped? He could have chosen to call the police," Wesley said in a serious manner. "He left you alone at school. What if something were to happen to you? Does he know who is paying him his salary?"
Layla did not expect Wesley to blame George.
"Uncle Wesley, I'm in school. I won't be in any danger. Uncle George should go and save Ms. Kennedy because she has helped our family," Layla muttered. "I suspect that Ms. Kennedy's kidnapper was Natalie hired. Natalie that evil woman. She must have known that Ms. Kennedy told us about the evil things she has done."
"Layla, they are two different matters. If your daddy was here. He would blame George, too." Wesley tried to explain things to her. "George's main job is to protect you. He should be by your side ensuring your safety. He can't be easily sidetracked by other things."
"I surely won't let Daddy blame Uncle George. Uncle George should go and save Ms. Kennedy. Nothing will happen to me in school. Uncle George told me he couldn't come to pick me up, so I went back into the building. As long as I don't go running about, I won't be in danger." At that, Layla furrowed her brows." Daddy hasn't been found. If something were to happen to Ms. Kennedy-"
"Your Mommy has found your Daddy," Wesley said. " He should be back soon."
