Veronica had never wanted to bother Isabella this much.
“What are you talking about? You really don’t have to feel bad about it. Anyway, you’re the only person I can trust. Are we not the same?” Isabella retorted, reassuring Veronica that everything was going to be fine.
“In fact, I feel at ease whenever I’m with you and the children. I just know that life is going to be full of hope this time around.” She added.
Veronica didn’t know what to say and just smiled. She knew that Isabella was a good person so she also wanted to be able to treat Isabella right.
After Josh ate, Isabella made him drink a bottle of water. When his fever went down, both Isabella and Veronica then proceeded to utilize their plan.
The five children were woken up again and Veronica felt really bad for them. She had woken them up several times already and she figured that they needed a break.
Fortunately, the children did very good because they didn’t cry and simply followed Veronica to the car she rented.
Veronica told the driver to go straight to the hotel that she was looking for and he simply agreed.
The place was a suburb that was away from the city, so it took them less than an hour to go there. It was 12 o’clock in the evening, however.
Luckily, boss of the hotel was a woman and was very talkative.
The advantage of hotel was that it already has everything you could ask for. They also had a kitchen with all kinds of utensils, which was similar to the house Veronica rented before.
There were exactly two rooms, Both Isabella and Veronica decided that one room is for Isabella and the other one is for Veronica and the kids.
When Veronica climbed onto bed, the six children fell fast asleep.
Veronica saw the hotel, she told herself that she really wanted to live here.
She suddenly felt that the world was just so big that she had no place for herself anymore.
That is, unless Nick gives up looking for her.
If Veronica was the only one who couldn’t be found during the incident, he might have given up. However, now that Nick knows about the children, it’s going to be impossible for him to give up. He knows that Veronica’s alive, after all.
A helicopter parked directly on the vacant lot of a residential area.
Nick then got off the plane with alongside his bodyguards.
One of his bodyguards took a man out of the elevator and threw him in front of Nick.
The man stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He looked up at Nick and was absolutely terrified that he felt his legs turned into jelly.
Nick’s bodyguard asked, “Did you pick up two women and six children?”
The man in front of Nick was none other than the private car driver who drove Veronica away at the bus stop.
“Y-Yes. I did encounter a passenger like that. ” The man said as he trembled in fear.
Nick gave the man a stern look, “Where are they?”
“Z City. ”
“It’ll take more than three hours to get from the bus stop to Z city,” Nick told him, “You came back in less than an hour. Where are they?”
The man froze for a moment He didn’t understand how a man like Nick knew about how long he drove back.
“Don’t want to talk about it?” Nick told the driver, glaring at him from head to toe.
“N-no, I mean, I was the one who drove for them, but they changed trains when they got out of town. We agreed on the price and it ended there. I think she just doesn’t have any money!” The driver told Nick. He was a little angry, but he surely didn’t want to lose his job just because of a dangerous man.
Nick’s still have the driver a cold glare, thinking whether or not he should believe the guy.
Veronica was afraid that Nick will find the private car and find out the address where they’re hiding. In that way, Veronica was sure that he’ll find her faster.
Veronica simply tried to trick Nick into thinking she’d gone to Z City.
This way, even if Nick knew that Veronica had gone to Z city, he wouldn’t be able to find her because she didn’t go there in the first place.
Veronica knew the consequences of running away with the children. She knew this, so she was anxious that Nick will be able to track her down.
Nick turned away from the driver and got on the helicopter.
The driver watched Nick get on the helicopter and he relaxed.
He thought that the woman was absolutely right. She really was being chased.
At first, the woman wanted to change trains and said that she was being chased, but the driver was skeptical at the time. Right now, he can’t help but simply believe in the woman.
“It’s like they’re playing a game of hide and seek.” The driver murmured to himself.
He had never seen a man with such a terrible aura.
That was right.
Veronica Parker was in a hurry to get to the hospital, but she didn’t forget to dig a hole for Nick Cage.
Nick Cage was powerful enough. It was easy for him to investigate the surveillance footage.
Nick Cage would be able to track about where and when she got off and got on at the bus stop all the way.
So, she disconnected the line.
After the driver made a U-turn, she got out of the car. In order to get the driver to help her, she found an excuse. She told him that she was hunted by someone.
The fog couldn’t cover up the road for long. They still have to leave as soon as possible.
When Veronica Parker woke up in the morning, Peter only slept beside her and Josh slept in her arms.
The first thing she checked was Josh’s temperature. She touched his forehead and face, then confirmed that there were no symptoms of fever anymore.
The main reason was that although Josh’s fever has gone down, he still felt weak. Veronica Parker didn’t wanted to dare to hit the road so casually with his condition.
She ran away in a hurry, bringing nothing with him.
Veronica Parker didn’t dare also going out to buy their needs. She hired purchasing agents to deliver all their needs in front of the door.
Isabella watched Veronica Parker pay and asked, “Veronica, do you have enough money? I have some money in my account, so you can use it first. I told you not to pay everything before, I didn’t need any of my money. ”
“Isabella, the money is enough. Don’t worry about it.”
Isabella thought that after Veronica Parker came back, she worked in the King Group for 30, 000 dollars a month and went to the TV station for nearly 10, 000 dollars. Although the salary wasn’t that small, she didn’t do it for long. She only stayed for only more than a month. She didn’t save up enough, to the point where she could hardly make ends meet.
“Veronica, did your grandmother really give you money?”
Veronica Parker smiled. “Yeah, I told you before.”
“I thought you were comforting me. I didn’t expect Aunt Alice to think so much about you. It’s not easy for her, an old rural lady, to save money. ”
“Well, the person I admire most was my grandmother. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what it would be like now.” Veronica Parker said nostalgic in his heart.
“Yes, I admire her too. She’s a kind-hearted person.”
“Isabella, you must wonder how much my grandma gave me?” In order to reassure Isabella, Veronica Parker simply told her.
“A little bit curious, of course.” Isabella smiled. “It’s just that I wonder how much money Aunt Alice gave you, and you haven’t used it up yet? You don’t need much, but children needed some money. Let alone that you’re going for abroad. An old rural lady can’t save much money no matter how frugal she is, can she? ”
“Grandma left me 3 million dollars.”
“W-What? 3 million? Why? It’s too much” Isabella was stunned and asked, “Is it the demolition money?”
Veronica Parker laughed at Isabella’s cuteness and said, “Grandma has only one house. That kind of country place doesn’t have to be demolished.”
“Where did Aunt Alice get so much money?” Isabella was even more curious.
“You know my father, right?”
“Of course, I know him.” Isabella mentioned that man was aggrieved. He used violence to his daughter and paid no attention to his mother. His character was too bad.
“One day, a woman came to the door of our house. She was a rich woman. She took fancy to my father and wanted to marry him. After she knew that my father has a daughter, she decided that she don’t want me to be such a drag bottle to my father. So, she bought out my father 1 million dollars at one time. ”
“Aunt Alice will definitely not agree.”
“No, my grandmother agreed. Not only agreed, but also increased the price to 1. 5 million.”
“That’s not a total of 3 million, right?” Aunt Alice calculated.
“The rich woman agreed with 1. 5 million dollars. However, grandma said that it should be a deal of 3 million dollars. She was confused by that woman. Then grandma said, for 3 million, she would cut her ties with her son. The meaning is very clear. As soon as she marries my father, she will not even have trouble in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Let alone that she would need her son and wife to provide when she gets older. In the end, the rich woman gave 3 million. I think my grandmother was a good negotiator. ” Veronica Parker was hiding in the back and eavesdropping
