Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 567

On the way to the airport, their car was forced into a horrific crash. Her husband was killed on impact.

Clutching little Lauren, Fiona fled the wreckage. She managed to flag down a passing car heading for the airport and barely boarded the flight to Carden.

But she had underestimated them. They tracked her all the way there.

Running for her life, she dragged her two-year-old daughter from one hiding spot to another, until that stormy, pouring night... when she left Lauren in the care of the Hawke family.

"Afterward, I lured the pursuers away. I barely survived the escape to Svealand, where I've lived in hiding ever since."

"Over the years, I didn't dare make a call or ask a single question. I was terrified that one slip-up would expose Lauren's whereabouts and bring them right to your doorstep."

Fiona broke down, her voice choked with sobs.

"I thought if I stayed dead to the world, you would all be able to live a safe, normal life. But I never imagined..."

"My poor Lauren... My poor Grace..."

Unable to hold back any longer, the older woman threw her arms around Grace.

Hearing the tragic truth finally chipped away at Grace's stiff, defensive posture. Her body slowly relaxed.

"Grandma..."

Grace's walls crumbled completely, and she cried out, hugging her back tightly.

Watching the heart-wrenching reunion, Damien felt a lump form in his own throat.

It took a long while before their emotions settled.

Fiona pulled back and tenderly wiped Grace's tear-stained cheeks with a handkerchief.

"There, there. Don't cry, my sweet girl."

She stroked Grace's face, but her expression abruptly shifted into something far more serious.

She glanced at Damien, then back to her granddaughter.

"Grace, since you've found your way here, there are things I must tell you."

"This concerns Gianna, and the real reason you've endured so much pain."

At the mention of Gianna, Grace's nerves instantly pulled taut.

"You know where Gianna is, don't you? Who is that man? Is he the kidnapper?"

Fiona shook her head, then slowly nodded.
