The old lady began. “His name is Lewis… What’s his surname?”
The name she had just recollected slipped out of her mind again.
The old woman was somewhat anxious. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, yet she couldn’t form the words.
“Take it easy, ma’am. It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember,”
Keira consoled her before making a phone call.
Meanwhile, in a street a few blocks away.
Lewis was sitting in a Bentley. His face was gloomy and his underling, Tom Davis, was too scared to even breathe. “I’m sorry, sir. I failed you. I lost old Mrs. Horton!”
Lewis didn’t respond, and his chilling aura made Tom shudder in fear.
Old Mrs. Horton would often get lost in her thoughts. Who would’ve expected that she would suddenly snap back to lucidity and sneak out when the others were all distracted?
Having checked the security cameras, they found that she had taken a bus to the suburbs all by herself.
This area was a bit run down, and many of the streets didn’t have cameras installed, making a thorough search the only option.
Just then, the phone rang.
Lewis immediately answered it. A serene female voice came from the other end. “Hello, I have the old lady you’re looking for.”
“…”
The air in the car seemed to freeze in an instant, and the temperature felt a few degrees lower.
Everyone jumped into action. Some prepared to call the police, and Tom was tracking the source of the incoming call.
Lewis’s eyes were sharp, and his voice was steady. “How much money do you want?”
“Just kidding… ” The woman’s voice sounded a bit cheeky. “I just want to tell you to take better care of the elderly.”
Then, she shared her address and hung up.
Tom sighed in relief, patting his chest.
What a cheeky do-gooder this woman was!
Lewis squinted slightly.
He suddenly found the voice on the phone… oddly familiar?
Five minutes later, they arrived at the location, but the young woman who had made the call was nowhere to be found. Only a police officer was there with old Mrs. Horton.
Lewis asked, “Grandma, how did you end up here?”
Old Mrs. Horton replied mysteriously, “I came to see my granddaughter-in-law. She lives nearby!”
Lewis paused and sighed. “Grandma, there’s no granddaughter-in-law…”
“Impossible! I met her!” Old Mrs. Horton complained, “That heartless girl handed me over to the police and just left. Right, give me your phone.”
Lewis handed her his phone. The elderly lady immediately wrote down the number from his recent calls in her little notebook.
At last, she had her granddaughter-in-law’s contact information!
–
Keira was worried that once the elderly woman’s family members arrived, they’d be overly grateful to her.
She wasn’t good at handling this kind of situation.
So, when she noticed the police patrolling, she handed the old lady over to them and went straight home.
The next morning, she got a call from her university advisor. “Keira, come to the university now!”
Keira didn’t know what was going on, but she hopped on her e-bike and rushed to meet Professor Miller in his office. As she entered, she found Isla and Poppy there already.
Keira narrowed her eyes slightly.
