Rita said with a pout, "Didn't we agree last time not to get mad at Makayla anymore?"
Ian held his sister's hand as they entered the classroom together.
Makayla's surgery had been scheduled. She was nervous and scared, and even coming to see them
wouldn't change that. She should go find Elijah for some comfort.
Three in the afternoon.
Elijah received a call from Elisa.
As soon as the call connected, he heard Elisa crying, "Makayla is missing again! The bodyguards and I
have been searching for over an hour around Silverleaf Ridge, but we can't find her!"
"What are you doing in Silverleaf Bay?" Elijah grabbed his car keys and hurried towards the door.
"Makayla came to school this morning and kept saying she wanted to find Ian. I told her no, but she
threw a tantrum. She refused to eat or drink. She's never been like this before. I had no choice but to
take her to find Ian," Elisa sobbed uncontrollably. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Ever since Makayla had her surgery, she became more self-conscious and harder to manage!
"So you took her to see Ian?" Elijah mentioned the child's name and felt a jolt in his heart, "Could she
be hiding with him?"
"No! I took Makayla to the kindergarten to meet Ian and Rita, they only talked for a bit before going
back to their classroom," Elisa told the truth, "After we left the kindergarten, she wanted to go play in
the residential area, so I took her in. But in the blink of an eye, she disappeared!"
Elisa cried, gasping for breath.
Elijah frowned and said, "Don't cry for now. I'll be right there! She should still be nearby."
Elisa choked up, "Makayla was always well-behaved, she's just hiding because she's scared of the
surgery."
"I know," Elijah had spent a long time comforting Makayla last night before she finally fell asleep.
He didn't want her to suffer, but the surgery would make her healthier, so it had to be done. He didn’t
want her to be called a dummy anymore.
In the evening.
Violette drove back to the neighborhood and saw several guards at the entrance, with a long police
cordon and many onlookers.
She furrowed her brows. Was something big happening?
She quickly parked the car and rushed home. Please, let it not be her two kids in trouble!
Opening the villa's front door, she saw the two children playing in the living room, a stark contrast to the
tense atmosphere outside.
"Good job, both of you, staying at home and behaving yourselves," Violette kissed each child on the
cheek.
Rita said calmly, "Nothing to worry about. Makayla's just hiding, and they're searching for her."
Violette's brain exploded.
"Makayla is hiding in our neighborhood?" Violette asked.
"Maybe? I told her to hide, but I didn't say to hide in our neighborhood," Rita pouted, looking upset,
"What if that bad guy comes to our house looking for Makayla? I don't want to see him."
Violette became anxious, "Did you two hide Makayla in our house again?!"
Ian and Rita shook their heads vigorously.
"No. She hid herself, and we don't know where she went either."
Violette took a deep breath, calming herself down quickly, "As long as she's not in our house, it's fine.
I'm going to cook, you two don't run around. If someone rings the doorbel"
Before she could finish, the doorbell rang.
