“Now we should hide Neo somewhere they can’t find. Otherwise, if they find out…”
Shane’s word made sense. Yet Laura had her plan.
Laura asked Shane to take Neo to a place far from the nursing home.
It was a place that wasn’t easy to find.
“Will there be insects at night?” Shane found it was a place full of weeds.
There might be insects and snakes.
Thinking of that, Shane trembled. He had been afraid of insects since he was a child. And he still was even when he grew up.
“If you’re scared, just go back.” Laura was speechless.
Laura didn’t like Shane at all. She could do anything to achieve her goal. But Shane was useless to her now.
Laura thought she could turn Shane into a helping hand. But looking at him now, she was no longer in the mood.
Shane didn’t leave because he was worried about Laura. Laura treated him very badly, yet he thought that Laura was just in a bad mood.
Laura went in without paying attention to him. Then she stood up, looking around
When Laura stopped, Shane gently put Neo down, and looked around too.
He was sure that there were definitely insects at night.
Laura can’t stay here all the time, then Neo…
Shane shook his head and decided not to say anything, in case Laura got angry again.
“How do you think of this place?” Laura was very content with the place she had chosen.
Shane found there was a building but it was not very tall. They could leave from there if necessary.
Looking around, Shane nodded. “Good.”
“What was I expecting!” Laura was waiting for Shane’s praise. Yet he only said one word.
Laura was unhappy. She glanced at Shane and then planned to leave. Shane looked at Laura, then at Neo on the ground. Then he tied Neo with the rope prepared in advance, as they didn’t want Neo to escape.
Shane looked at Laura who had gone far and then at Neo, who had been knocked unconscious by himself at this moment. Thinking about the happy moment he had with Neo, he suddenly didn’t want to leave.
But in the end, he made up his mind to leave with Laura.
Laura can’t live with Helena now because Clara might come over.
Shane invited Laura to stay with him. He would sleep on the sofa. Laura nodded somewhat reluctantly and left with Shane.
Helena was left alone in bed in the nursing home.
Clara had a mental breakdown because of Neo’s missing. She got Shane’s address from the company and went there with Horace.
Horace was supposed to be working, but he couldn’t let Clara go alone.
“Go.” As soon as Clara got into the car, she asked Horace to drive.
Shane lived close to the company. They soon arrived.
The door was locked. Horace kicked it for three times and broke open the door.
Shane’s apartment wasn’t a good one. So, the door wasn’t very solid. Yet when they entered, they found that it was empty.
Clara felt bad. It was such a waste of time. Everything they did was in vain.
Just as Clara was about to go inside the room, a middle-aged woman came over.
“What are you doing? It’s illegal to break into someone else’s home.”
The woman should be the owner of the apartment. She was very angry seeing them breaking in.
It was the first time Horace was scolded. He didn’t know what to do.
Clara stepped forward, stuffed a lot of money into the woman’s palms, and then looked at her apologetically.
“Madam, my son is lost. Please forgive us.”
Seeing the money, the woman immediately smiled happily. She looked much more friendly.
“Sure, sure, go in.”
Clara knew that there must be nothing inside, otherwise the woman wouldn’t let them in so easily.
When they went downstairs, whispering sounds came from inside the room.
“I’ll go check if they’re gone.” Shane was about to go out. But Laura stopped him.
“They’re cunning. What if they’re still outside the door?”
So, they stayed still.
“Where could they be?”
Horace had no clue where else they could go.
But Clara thought of a place, the nursing home.
“Let’s go to the nursing home,” Clara said, asking Horace to drive immediately. Today they had to find Neo, or Neo would be in real peril.
Horace drove fast, while Clara was anxious. Soon, they arrived at the nursing home.
Clara stumbled out of the car, and Horace went up to support her.
“Careful.” After that, Horace saw Clara rush into Helena’s room.
Horace followed in. Clara looked at Helena, who was still lying on the bed, staring into her eyes.
She didn’t see anything from Helena’s eyes.
“Have you seen Neo?” Clara asked, and Horace kept staring at Helena’s expression.
“No.” Helena shook her head without even thinking.
“There is something wrong with her,” Horace whispered to Clara’s ear. Clara looked at Horace and nodded.
Horace found a strong rope in the room and tied Helena up.
“Your precious daughter is back, so you abandoned me again? But Neo’s just a boy. How can you hurt him?” Clara looked at Helena and said, her tone filled with self-mockery.
How stupid she was! She wanted to treat Helena well, but no matter what she did, Laura was always the more important one to Helena.
