Chapter 447
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.
Three 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.
