Chapter 441 Got Caught
Third–person POV:
Half an hour later, Shane finished the sketch,
The old woman stood beside the portrait, staring at it, her eyes already rimmed red.
On the paper was a little girl with two braids, a round face, big eyes, a small nose bridge, and slightly full lips. She wore a floral dress and a pair of little leather boots, smiling wide enough to show the two missing front teeth,
Next to it was another portrait, a couple. Their features resembled those of the old woman a little, likely her son and daughter–in- law.
Shane kept drawing.
This time, he was sketching the girl as an adult, using how she looked at seven, along with her parents‘ features, to imagine what she might look like grown up.
A finished piece was already laid on the chair nearby. The old woman walked over and took a look. Her face was still on the round side, but the baby fat was gone, and her features were more defined now. The overall structure hadn’t charged much, but the difference between a grown woman and a young girl gave her a completely different presence.
Shane was working on a second version, this one slimmer. No one knew what that child had gone through all these years. A person’s appearance could change with experience. This one wasn’t finished yet.
Luke asked the old woman, “Does it look like her? Is this how you remember her?”
The old woman opened her mouth, but it took her a long moment before she choked out, “Yes… Some parts really do. This gentleman is incredible.”
“Mr. Green, how many more are you planning to draw?” Luke asked.
“The more the better. Different body types, different hair colors. I want a range of possibilities.” Shane didn’t even look up as he kept sketching.
Luke watched as a few quick strokes brought out the shape of eyes and brows.
The more he looked, the more familiar it felt, but he couldn’t quite place it.
He could only wait, but after a while, Shane spoke up, “You should go take care of your own things. This’ll probably take me a few days. I want to run through every possibility.”
Luke paused, then nodded. “Got it. Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Green.”
He turned and left, but the old woman stayed. She sat down nearby and simply watched Shane draw.
As if just watching like this might somehow bring her daughter back.
When Luke stepped out of the house, he ran right into Laila and Viola coming out of the den
The three of them stopped short at the doorway, all a little caught off guard.

“Luke?” Viola spoke first, giving him a once–over. “What are you doing coming out of here?”
Luke’s mind raced, but he forced his expression to stay casual.
“Oh… just helping out with something.”

“Helping?” Viola leaned to peek past him, then glanced at the house next door, a spark lighting in her eyes. “Did your Alpha buy this place?”
Luke nearly choked on his own spit.
“No, no!” he waved his hands quickly. “Not buying anything. It’s just… the old lady here lost her daughter. I’m helping her look for
her.”
As he spoke, he muttered inwardly, Your Highness, I didn’t mean to say anything. got caught. I didn’t volunteer the information.
Laila glanced at him, her expression unreadable. “I see.”
Viola echoed her words, but hers dragged out, laced with obvious disappointment.
Luke didn’t dare linger. He gave a quick nod. “I’ll get going, then.”
He hurried off, only daring to wipe the sweat off his forehead after putting some distance between them.
His back was soaked. He had almost exposed the surprise Samuel had prepared.
“Don’t you think something felt off?”
squinted at Luke’s retreating figure.
