Liya had been sitting on the ground in a daze until she heard two policemen talking about her. Only then did she come back to her senses. She knew that she wouldn’t come out again after she was sent in. She cried for a while and muttered like a madman, “The Ocean Heart is mine. None of you can take it away.”
“Stop talking. Don’t pretend to be crazy.” Seeing her acting mad, the policeman by the side got impatient. He shouted and nudged her forward.
When she passed by Hansen and Jenna, Liya glared at him. A light flashed in her eyes and she suddenly rushed towards his direction. ” Hansen, save me. I’m the bride Grandma wanted you to marry. It’s written in her will.”
She shrieked, and her face was twitching abnormally.
Hansen shielded Jenna with his body and shouted, “Liya, enough! I was kind enough to tolerate you till today. Grandma’s will will come out in two days. If you are smart, then confess the crimes you’ve committed, so that your punishment can be lenient. The Richards family will never have anything to do with you anymore.”
Speaking of this, he took Jenna’s hand and turned to walk away.
Liya was restrained by the two policemen on both sides. She could not move, and her heart was numb. She lowered her head and stopped struggling. When she walked out of the mansion, she took one last look at the majestic mansion. Breathing in the fresh air, she shut her eyes.
In fact, it was only now that she realized that every good and bad moment in her life had something to do with this place. In retrospect, all the happiness in her life had been given by the Richards family.
When she was very young, her family barely had enough food to put on the table. She remembered that old house. She recalled seeing her father drinking all day long, beating his mother, and her mother’s terrifying screams. It made her terrified of her family since she was a child.
Ever since she came to Richards Manor with her mother, she had lived a stable life. She had not needed to worry about putting food on the table. Even though she was looked down upon by the servants here, Richards Manor was beautiful. It had delicious food, interesting things, and dazzling scenery. Moreover, she could meet someone as handsome and noble as Hansen. After living here for three years, she knew what life meant and what happiness was. Her young heart had had a strong desire to pursue this kind of life.
When Zoella found her, she thought that she could live the dream life she had as a child. She had been so excited and had high expectations at that time. This was a complete contrast from her original desires and nature.
She remembered that when Jenna told her that Vivian had paid for her higher education, she had been moved. What had changed in her? She was still confused.
At present, she had nowhere to go.
Hansen had just sent Jenna back to her room to rest when his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a landline number, a familiar one.
With his brows furrowed, he picked up the call.
“Sir, is Miss Jenna around?” Bailey’s anxious voice could be heard. Hansen was shocked to have a call from Sara’s household. It was no wonder he was so familiar with the number. It was Bailey who called. He was supposed to pick them up that day. Perhaps, they were calling as a reminder. He looked at Jenna and replied, “Aunt Lee, she is right beside me. Just a moment.”
After saying that, she handed the phone to Jenna and said, “It’s Aunt Lee.”
Aunt Lee?
Jenna thought of her mother.
Why did she call Hansen instead?
She picked up the phone immediately.
“Aunt Lee,” she greeted in a crisp voice. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Bailey asking in a somewhat hurried manner, “Miss Jenna, have you brought Madam Sara over?”
Jenna was taken aback after hearing this and replied, “Not yet. I’ll come and pick her up later. Let her have some rest. I have some matters to attend to right now.”
“Miss Jenna, are you sure you didn’t pick up Madam Sara?” Bailey’s voice somewhat trembled after she heard Jenna’s words.
Jenna raised one of her eyebrows and answered, “Of course, we have been busy all morning. We were going to pick you guys up, but something came up.”
Once she heard this, Bailey’s hand, which was holding the phone, began to tremble. She said, choking with tears, “Miss Jenna, Madam Sara is missing.”
“What?” Jenna abruptly stood up from the bed, and her face turned pale. “Aunt Lee, what are you talking about? Explain to me. What do you mean by ‘Madam Sarah is missing?'”
Beside her, Hansen’s body shifted as he turned his head to look at Jenna.
Bailey became more and more anxious. She said incoherently, “Miss Jenna, Madam Sara was not in a good mood today. So, I brought her out for a walk. After a while, it got a little sunny, and Madam Sara was covered in sweat. Therefore, I brought her to the pavilion to rest. The wind was strong at that time, but Madam Sara didn’t want to go back. I saw that her clothes were wet. So, I went home to get a towel and prepared a glass of juice. However, when I went back, I couldn’t find Madam Sara anywhere. I looked for her everywhere in the community and even asked the security. They didn’t see Madam Sara. I thought of Vivian’s funeral that we were supposed to attend today and called you. But no one answered. So, I had to call Hansen.”
Jenna listened as Bailey explained everything in detail and her entire body trembled slightly. Her face was deathly pale.
“Did you call her?” Even so, Jenna tried to remain cool. She was afraid that her mother would be lonely. So, she gave Sara the best cell phone. Sara often played with her cell phone when she was free. So, she asked at the moment.
As soon as he asked, she thought of her own cell phone.
Since she was pregnant, she didn’t bring her cell phone with her most of the time, for fear that the radiation would hurt the fetus.
She stood up and looked for her phone. After looking around the room, she remembered that her cell phone was in her bag. So, she hurried to look for the bag.
Hansen listened to their conversation and saw Jenna’s flustered face. His heart tightened and an ominous feeling began to envelop him. He hurriedly asked, “Jenna, what is it? What’s wrong?”
Jenna was so anxious that she kept calling out, “My phone, where is my phone?”
It was only then that Hansen understood. So, he searched for it with her.
“Miss Jenna, I’ve called Madam Sara many times. Her phone has been turned off. Did Madam call you?” Bailey asked anxiously over the phone.
Jenna’s heart was on fire at that time. She could not calm down no matter how hard she tried. After all, she was her only mother.
“Jenna, here, your phone is here.” Hansen found her phone on the corner of the couch. He handed it to her and complained. “Do you need to be so anxious over the phone? Relax.”
Jenna’s face was red. She grabbed the phone and turned it on. There were a lot of missed calls. They were all from Bailey. Sara had not called her, not even once. Her heart began to race. Something was wrong.
“Miss Jenna, what should we do? I’ve searched the whole area, but I can’t find Madam Sara. Logically speaking, she can’t go far in a wheelchair, but we searched everywhere and still can’t find her. This has never happened before. What should we do? I’m so worried.” Bailey was practically screaming on the other end of the line. She was so panicked that her forehead was full of sweat.
Dark spots began to form in front of Jenna’s eyes, and her heart sank.
If this was in the usual days, then she would not have thought much about it. However, it was a troubling time right then. If anything happened to her mother, then how could she forgive herself?
“Jenna, what’s the matter?” Hansen saw Jenna’s face getting paler and paler. Moreover, she was biting her fingernails. Something must’ve gone wrong. Yet, she didn’t explain. So, he could only ask her.
Jenna’s hand, which was holding the phone, trembled, but she just said calmly, “Aunt Lee, don’t worry. Search again. I will come soon.”
After Jenna hung up the phone, she suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
“Jenna, what’s wrong?” Hansen hugged her and asked anxiously.
Jenna leaned against Hansen’s chest. Her forehead was beaded with sweat as she whispered, “Hansen, my mother is missing.”
“What? Mom’s missing?” Hansen gasped. He held Jenna in his arms as his thoughts wandered. He immediately comforted her with a smile. “Jenna, don’t worry. They must have been mistaken. Mom is in a wheelchair. Where can she go? Aunt Lee must be forgetful. They will find her in a while. Everything will be fine.”
He wiped away the sweat on her forehead and caressed her face, feeling distressed. Although he was trying to comfort her, he didn’t know what to do either. He was flustered.
“No, Hansen. Mother can’t go far in a wheelchair. It’s strange that they can’t find her. This is bad.” Jenna slumped onto the ground and said weakly. She struggled to stand up and walked outside. “I have to find her.”
“Jenna, don’t worry. I’ll go with you.” She had only taken a few steps before her legs become wobbly. Hansen was extremely anxious. He held her in his arms, comforted her as he walked. “Jenna, don’t worry. I’m here for you. Don’t worry, we’ll find her.”
As he said this, he didn’t dare to stop. He carried her in his arms and ran out of the Ink Garden like a gust of wind.
They got in a car and drove directly to the Francist Community.
Bailey was calling out Sara’s name over and over again in the neighbourhood. She had no idea what to do. Hansen drove to the gate of the Francist Community. He rolled down the window and asked the guard at the entrance, “Did you see a woman in a wheelchair walking out of here? Lady Sara. She lives in room 2808. She’s the former wife of Javon, the former minister of defence.”
When the guard saw Hansen, he immediately stood up. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, “Mr. Richards, we know who Lady Sara is. We didn’t see her go out today. Besides, she’s in a wheelchair. So, it’s not convenient for her to go out alone.”
Hansen’s eyes were sharp and cold, and he frowned. He nodded and drove in.
