Chapter 1618
Queenie got up and left the room.
Julie then said to Emerence, “Aunt Emerence, I can take it from here. You should go get some rest too.”
Emerence’s eyes flickered. She said, “Okay. I’ll take a nap outside. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Okay.”
Emerence finally went out.
The room returned to peace and quiet, but Julie’s expression turned cold and grim.
She walked closer to Madam Stockton.
Madam Stockton looked more or less the same as earlier, which was slightly
healthier than before.
Julie’s eyes flickered nervously. She said, “Mother?”
The only reply she got was silence. Madam Stockton did not react to her call.
Julie lowered herself and moved closer to Madam Stockton. Madam Stockton
looked a lot better now. It was as though she was sleeping instead of being in a vegetative state.
Julie frowned and stared at her coldly. “Mother, are you really waking up?”
Her hands lifted uncontrollably and slowly moved towards Madam Stockton’s face. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes and she tried to cover the lady’s nose and mouth.
Then, the noise of the door opening was heard.
Startled, Julie immediately retracted her hands. She turned around and saw
Emerence coming back in.
Julie smiled and followed Mia outside.
As soon as the door closed and Julie left, Emerence’s expression turned cold and grim. She got up immediately to check on Madam Stockton. Fortunately, nothing had happened to Madam Stockton.
She sighed a breath of relief, but the complicated expression lingered on her face.
After coming out from Madam Stockton’s room, Mia whispered into Julie’s ears,” Madam, I followed Master Stockton around and finally located Sherry.”
Julie asked, “Where is she being kept?”
“In a forest in the suburbs. It’s a twenty–minute drive from here. I hate a glance at the house, and it’s covered in moss. I think it’s been unoccupied for a long time,” Mia added.
“How’s Sherry doing?”
“There are three bodyguards watching her, so I couldn’t get in. I didn’t see her, but Master Stockton went in for ten minutes. When he came out, he looked grumpy and angry. Sherry must have pissed him off.”
Julie curled her lips.
