Keira hurried forward, hugged Molly in her arms, and comforted softly, "Molly, be good. Mommy and Daddy are busy with very important things now. They are very powerful people, not only to protect you two little ones."
Even though Keira comforted her, how could the five-year-old Molly know so much? She bit her little finger aggrievedly, with red eye, which looked cute and pitiful.
"I miss mommy..."
Feeling really helpless, Chad had to make a video call with Lyra.
When the little girl saw Lyra's face on the phone, she immediately stopped crying. She held the phone and refused to let go, with tears still in her eyes.
"Mommy... when will you come back? I miss you so much. Daddy promised to accompany my brother and me, but he is not at home anymore."
Although Keira and Chad treated them very well, they were not parents after all, and kids were the most attached to their parents.
Seeing crying baby on the other end of the phone, Lyra's eyes flashed with distress, and she coaxed, "It will take a few days for Mommy to go back here. You all stay at the house of uncle and aunt obediently, waiting for me. I will go back as soon as I finish my work here, okay?"
Keira also knew that Lyra could not come back at this time, so she coaxed the little girl together with Lyra.
Spencer had been standing by the side without speaking.
He was a little man. Even if he missed his mother, he will not take the initiative to express it.
He just said a few words to Lyra about safety and ran away in a hurry.
...
In evening, Lyra pinched between her brows, having a headache.
When it got dark on Mofleunia's side, another call came in. This time, it was from an unfamiliar number, which didn't even show where it belonged.
Lyra picked up the phone vigilantly and asked, "Who?"
"Miss Lloyd, it's me."
It was Harrison's voice.
Lyra let go of most of her guard in an instant, and quickly asked, "Do you have any news?"
"I contacted another gangster here. His name is Isapston Roth. He said he could talk to you. When do you think the time is better? I'll confirm with him."
"The sooner the better. Is it convenient tonight?"
A long delay may cause trouble. If Danny transferred the hostages secretly, they will have to go through a lot of trouble.
"Okay, I'll contact you right away."
Hanging up phone, Lyra went to the door of Mavis' room and knocked on it.
"Mavis, it's me."
Hearing the sound, Mavis opened the door, "Lyra, are we leaving now?"
She knew that if Lyra came here at this time, there must be news from Harrison.
"Wait for the news first. I'm here to let you prepare. You have to make yourself look ugly."
It was not yet known what kind of person Isapston was. If he was like Danny, she may cause trouble for Mavis.
Although compared with Mavis, Lyra looked more beautiful, every bigwigs knew that her husband was Malcolm, and none of them would be stupid enough to provoke Malcolm.
In contrast, Mavis, whose hidden marriage had not been announced, was more likely to catch the eyes of the gangsters.
Fifteen minutes later, Mavis' new look was ready.
Mavis' blond hair was braided by Lyra, and she also deliberately brought a large black framed glasses, which were flat glasses with lenses, so that her eyes were not so outstanding.
In addition, Lyra used an eyebrow pencil again and gave her a freckle makeup.
With the beauty covered, Mavis looked like a silly uncouth girl.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Lyra nodded with satisfaction, "This is how you are a qualified diplomat."
Just as she finished speaking, Harrison called her again.
