Chapter 794
"Miles, let me sing you a nursery rhyme. The wheels on a bus go round and round..." Joanne quickly shifted her attention to Miles and sang to him, all to avoid leaking more information.
Miles then ran into the villa, looking for Catelyn up and down.
Joanne did not stop him. 'How heartless can an old man be to take a mother's children and the last bit of happiness away from her?'
However, after a few minutes, Miles rushed to her anxiously and shouted, "Godmother, where's Big Kitty? Didn’t you say she was resting upstairs? where is she?"
Joanne shot up from the sun lounger instantly. "She's in the first guest room on the left on the second floor. Let's go, I'll take you to find her."
Miles held Joanne's hand and they paced to the guest room.
Although he was just a kid, he ran so fast that Joanne had to trot after him to catch up.
When Miles pushed open the door of the guest room, the room was empty and the quilt was neat, but the luggage was there and Catelyn was nowhere to be seen.
All the while, Joanne did not notice that Cedrick was following closely behind.
The curtains in the bedroom were tightly closed, and the environment seemed depressing. He turned his head and asked Joanne, "Where's Catelyn?"
Joanne froze in place as her face paled with worry. "Why is this room empty? She was here just a while ago. She said that she was sleepy and wanted to take a rest... oh, dear lord! Please don't do something silly!"
Cedrick and Miles' faces sank the moment they heard Joanne. At that moment, the thought that she might have attempted to take her life crossed their minds.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, and the temperature seemed to have dropped.
Joanne realized that she had said something that worried the two, so she immediately comforted them, "Impossible! Cat felt much better this morning. She said she was all right, so she must be busy doing her work now. I'll call her and ask..."
A familiar, unique ringtone suddenly rang in the room. It was the ringtone that Catelyn had set for Joanne's dial.
The source of the sound seemed to be on the nightstand in the bedroom.
'Where did she go? she didn't even bring her cell phone!' Joanne panicked as she shouted at Cedrick, "It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you and your family, Cat wouldn't be in this dilemma! If something happens to her, I'm going to get you!"
A thought instantaneously flashed in Cedrick's mind.
Before he could catch the gist of it, Miles dragged him out of the room. "Quickly, order your people to find Mommy! What are you doing just standing here?!"
Cedrickhad his bodyguards investigate the surveillance footage near Shoal Villa to find Catelyn's whereabouts. Since she did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts, the bodyguards soon located her by tracking down the cab she took.
They found out that Catelyn had gone straight to a private cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
Catelyn held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of a tombstone, sat quietly on the ground, and talked to the tombstone of Daphne.
She did not know why she came here. Perhaps, deep down, she wanted to apologize.
The cemetery was remote and sparsely populated.
