Chapter 456
Chapter 456
Loraine returned to the Trevino family's home. Watching Alastair and Adrienne sitting on the sofa playing with Abraham, it made the two siblings really envious.
They had never enjoyed such a lovely atmosphere before. The only thing they could ever see at home was their parents quarreling.
"Hansen, Loraine, the both of you are back! Come on, let's play a game." As Adrienne spoke, she walked over to hold Hansen's hand to bring him inside the house. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He looked at her in admiration.
Loraine waited for Everleigh to come back to inform her that she would be leaving the next day.
"You're leaving so soon?"
"Well, since there's no longer anything in this city that's important to me, staying here will only make me feel sad." Loraine's eyes teared up a little. She would really miss everything about the city, but she still had to go. After all, there was nothing left that was worth staying for.
Everleigh's eyes dimmed. "Where do you want to go next?"
"I want to go overseas. I have an aunt who's been living abroad. Over the years, she has been constantly in touch with my mother. If I go there, there's at least someone I can rely on. Besides, my mother left me with quite a lot of money, enough for Hansen and I to live on." Loraine had already figured out that as long as she left Ocpeace City, she could live in peace for the rest of her life.
At that moment, Everleigh finally realized that Loraine was no longer that little girl with dirty braids.
She had become a young adult, and she could already make her own plans.
"Okay then, let me send you off when you leave."
"Thank you, Aunt Everleigh." Loraine was sincerely grateful for her. During that period of time, she had been busy helping her. If it wasn't for her help, she really wouldn't know who else to look for.
She would remember her kindness for the rest of her life.
When Loraine and Hansen left, Theodore and Everleigh brought Adrienne along to bid them farewell.
Adrienne took out her favorite toy and gave it to Hansen.
"Hansen, when you become an adult, remember to come back and visit us."
"I sure will." He nodded gently. He felt rather haggard.
Alastair was much more steady. He gave Hansen a gentle hug and said, "When you come back in the future, do look for me, okay?"
"I promise you, I will. Alastair and Adrienne, thank you." Hansen's eyes clearly showed that he was very unwilling to leave, but he had no other choice.
Loraine told him about many things the night before, and he finally knew what was going on. However, he was too young to make a decision.
When he grew older, he would definitely return again.
Loraine looked at Everleigh and said, "Thank you so much. I'll give you a call after I settle down over there. However, please don't tell my father about anything. I don't want to see him anymore."
Everleigh nodded. She knew what to do.
Hansen was very reluctant to go, but he had no choice but to follow Loraine through the security checkpoint. Shortly after, they boarded the plane and it took off.
The four of them looked at the plane slowly disappearing into the sky, with indescribable sorrow in their hearts.
"I really hope they can come back soon," Adrienne muttered, with tears in her eyes.
Everleigh patted her head and comforted her, "Cheer up, sweetheart. I'm sure they will be back very soon."
She believed that when they came back, everything would be different.
Loraine's departure didn't cause much sensation. Although Wilson tried to dial her number, the call just wouldn't connect. Even when he went to look for them, there just wasn't any sign of them anywhere.
He wondered if it was Xavier who had hidden the two of them.
Feeling enraged, he went to Xavier and confronted him, "Did you hide Loraine and Hansen somewhere?"
Xavier raised his eyes lazily, with a cold flash dashing through his eyes. "Do you really think everyone else is as heartless as you are, that they will hurt their own children?"
"You... I can't seem to find them right now."
"If you can't find them, call the police then. What's the use of telling me about it? Do you think I have so much time to waste?" Xavier expressed his annoyance. Wilson had already lost his wife, and yet he was still causing so much trouble. If he hadn't found out about it in time, a ton of money would be lost again.
Wilson glared at him, looking very dissatisfied.
"Don't look at me like that. After everything that you've done, I'm sure your children have already given up on you. Who else can you put the blame on?" Xavier snorted.
In other words, people like Wilson would only see the negative side of others, but never their own. Wilson had always felt he had done nothing wrong, but he never actually realized that he was maliciously wrong.
People like him deserved to be taught a lesson.
"Xavier, you'd better be telling me the truth. If I find out that you have something to do with this, don't blame me for being too harsh on you."
"Quit acting like you're a kind father right now! If you had this kind of attitude earlier on, everything wouldn't have happened!"
Xavier roared angrily, and his years of resentment exploded in one go. Out of the four children, he received the most unfair treatment, just because Madison favored him more. It made him lose everything he had, including his ability to stand up straight. The culprit was his own father, but now, he was actually confronting him just because of a mistress' children.
Plus, even if he knew anything, he wouldn't tell him at all.
People like Wilson didn't deserve to be called a father.
Listening to his words, Wilson was speechless, and he could only leave sulkily.
After Theodore found out about the matter, he couldn't help but sneer. It was too late for Wilson to think of his children, and it was surely impossible for him to find them.
Moses stood beside him. Other than the update on Wilson's situation, he reported about the medical products as well. The products showed great effectiveness and were all sold out in the market.
"Oh, by the way, did a batch of the new medicine appear at the research department recently?" Theodore asked.
"Yes, it's still in the trial stage," Moses answered truthfully. He thought that Everleigh was indeed incredibly talented.
Each time a new medicine was produced, it would be very effective. Such a person was simply the best in the medical field.
Looking at the data and statistics, Theodore's lips curled up into a smile.
Medicines were certainly a risky investment, but it was much more profitable. That was why he chose to take the risk and be involved in that field.
In the meantime, Everleigh was still working at the hospital. Christopher passed her the investigation report and said, "Look at this. This is the name list of all the people who were at the airport."
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the long list.
"That's a lot of people!"
"Well, the private jet industry has always been this way. How is this considered a lot?" He looked at her; she sounded like a country bumpkin.
She didn't own a private jet, so it was only normal for her to not know about it.
"But where are these people right now?"
"Some of them have been found, and some of them just can't be located. The people who were found are mostly field workers, and they probably didn't even touch the planes. However, the people who cannot be found are the key figures," he explained seriously.
Hearing his words, her heart sank again. "That means the whole investigation was basically purposeless."
"Well, we can't say that it's completely useless. At least we've gotten the names of these people, right? If we investigate them one by one, there's still some hope." He tried to cheer her up.
He didn't remind her that it had been so many years since the incident happened. If those people had changed their names, it would be extremely difficult for them.
