They didn’t get the answer they wanted, but they were still delighted to see their daddy in one piece.
After all, they could cross that bridge when they come to it later.
Sebastian and the kids went to grab something to eat. After that, he spent the whole afternoon with them.
In the evening, Sebastian got ready to leave.
“I’ll go pick up Mommy now. Ms. Dolivo will arrive soon. Be good, alright?”
“Yes, Daddy!” the three of them agreed obediently.
Daddy is going to bring Mommy back home. Great! We won’t have to worry about her anymore.
The kids were delighted to be reunited with their mommy again. Sebastian thought he could bring her back home, too.
Alas, when he went to Hayes Corporation, the woman he wanted to see wasn’t there. Instead, Solomon was sitting there blankly.
“Kill me if you want. I failed to locate her,” he said nonchalantly.
“Your wish shall be granted!” Sebastian barked and cocked his gun to kill him.
Luckily, Karl was there to stop him.
“Mr. Hayes, calm down. Even if you kill him, we won’t be able to find Madam.”
“Nonsense! He is involved in this matter. Once I kill him, the people working for him will release Sasha!” Sebastian declared, his eyes flashing murderous glint.
Solomon’s face paled.
Still, he didn’t utter a word or admit to anything.
In the end, Karl successfully stopped his furious boss and dragged him out.
“Mr. Hayes, we can’t kill him now if we want to locate Madam. We need to keep an eye on him. Didn’t you see his reaction? He seems really helpless,” said Karl after they both entered the car.
He was careful enough to notice Solomon’s subtle expression change.
Back there, Sebastian was raging and didn’t think about observing Solomon’s reaction.
Slowly, he calmed down.
“It’s Sinch Enterprise.”
“Yes, we’re sure she’s there. Still, Xenhall is too huge a place. It isn’t easy for us to find her.”
“I’ll head there myself!” Sebastian announced, fury flaring within his reddened eyes. It was a terrifying sight.
He’s going to go on a killing spree in Jetroina. Karl’s fists balled up.
Yet, he said nothing and arranged for a helicopter to bring Sebastian to Jetroina.
That night, Sebastian left Avenport.
The kids waited for a long time, but neither their daddy nor mommy came home.
“Kids, let’s go to bed. Your daddy and mommy might be a little late. We’ll see them tomorrow!” Wendy persuaded as they kept waiting earnestly for Sebastian and Sasha’s return.
When Vivian heard she could see her parents tomorrow morning, she trotted away to go to bed.
Both Ian and Matteo remained.
“Daddy lied to us, right?”
“I don’t think so,” replied Ian after he took one look at his brother, who was close to tears. “Daddy must’ve gone to pick Mommy up and ran into trouble.”
“Really?” Matteo sniffled.
“Yes. He won’t leave us alone at home. Matt, I think we need to go to Roxanne tomorrow,” Ian suggested without warning.
Matteo stared at him in confusion. “Why? Didn’t you see how she tried to harm Daddy today? Why do we need to go to her tomorrow?”
“I heard her saying, ‘She won’t come back.’ when she gave Daddy his injection.”
“Is she talking about Mommy?” Immediately, the smart Matteo realized what his brother was talking about.
Ian nodded. “Yes. That’s why we need to find her. I think she knows where Mommy is.”
The kids were smart enough to figure out the clue from Roxanne’s casual comment.
Matteo agreed without hesitation.
The next morning, after Wendy sent them to their school, the boys sneaked away and ran to Roxanne’s lab.
They were familiar with the place. Back then, when Matteo was receiving treatment there, they rented a house right next to the lab.
Matteo headed in with a huge grin. “Hello, miss. Is Ms. Rocke here?”
The nurse gasped in surprise upon seeing him. “Oh, it’s Matt! Yes, Dr. Rocke is inside,” she told him warmly.
