He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 96

Skylar Quincy!

A terrifying thought flashed through Pierce's mind. "Are you... her father?"

"Pierce, get over there, hurry!"

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The call disconnected.

Pierce was consumed by a suffocating wave of frustration. He had definitely just heard Skylar Quincy crying.

And he was absolutely certain that the man's voice on the phone did not belong to Silas.

Did the father of Seraphina's child turn out to be someone else entirely?!

Anger and anxiety warred in his chest.

It was a hard pill to swallow. When he left three years ago, he had always assumed she was with Silas...

So there was another man in the picture?

Seraphina, oh Seraphina, he had truly underestimated her!

On the other hand, if this guy was really that close to her, his warning had to be credible.

Pierce didn't hesitate for another second, peeling out of the Prescott family estate.

A mountain, crows, and weirdly crooked trees.

The clues were far too fragmented to pinpoint an exact location.

But Hudson City only had two mountains. One was within city limits—a low, walkable hill where locals often went to admire the nighttime skyline.

The other was on the western outskirts, a desolate and uninhabited area rarely visited by anyone.

Pierce wrenched the steering wheel, gunning it straight west.

...

When Seraphina regained consciousness, water splashed sharply against her face.

It was uncomfortably warm, carrying a vile, sickening stench.

Buck held an empty water bottle, his patience clearly wearing thin. "Is Pierce abandoning you or what? Why hasn't the money transferred yet?"

Seraphina barely had the strength to lift her eyelids. "What time is it?" she whispered.

"Three in the morning! I've taken a piss five times already!"
