Matteo was in complete shock.
Immediately, he rushed into the bathroom, where Amora was giving Vivian a bath.
"Mommy! Mommy! Something's happened over at lan's.Can you please check on him?"
"What?"
Amora sprung to her feet.
"What happened to lan?"
"I-I don't know.We were on the phone just then, but he went quiet all of a sudden, and then there were loud noises...Mommy, I'm so sorry."
Matteo's eyes reddened as he was in full-blown panic mode.
Amora comforted him by saying, "Don't worry, it's not your fault.Maybe something else was going on over there.I will go over right now, and you're gonna stay home to look after Vivi, okay?"
After taking Vivian out of the shower and dressing her up, Amora hurried out the door.
What's happening to Little lan? He still seemed fine at Chris's today.
How can he be in trouble so soon after? In her frantic moments, Amora had entertained the brief idea of calling Kane to ask him, but the thought of what had occurred at Chris's earlier that day stopped her promptly.
I'd better not alert him to this.
Since we're getting divorced, what if he decides to stop me from seeing lan? Amora put down her phone, but her mind was still unsettled.
Luckily, it was an off-peak hour, so traffic was considerably smooth.
She arrived at Frontier Bay after about half an hour.
"Ms.Rory? What are you doing here so late?"
The security guard at Royal Court One recognized Amora but was still surprised to see her visiting late at night.
Amora, on the other hand, was so flustered she had no time to explain to him.
"I'm here for lan.What's happened to him?"
The guard was puzzled by the woman's question.
"lan? He's fine.What's the matter?"
Ignoring his bewilderment, Amora pushed open the heavy gate and walked straight in.
A few minutes later, Amora arrived at the villa.
However, once she stepped into the living room, she was met with dead silence.
The cold winter night coupled with the absolute silence made the villa seem haunted.
Why is it so quiet around here? I thought something has happened to lan? While Amora stood in the living room in a daze, a voice came from behind her.
"Ms.Rory? When did you get here? You should have let me know that you were coming."
The voice belonged to Wendy.
