Chapter 1084 Getting to Gerby Overnight
I thought Jared came for a reason, and no matter what, I considered myself an outsider. It's better to avoid some things.
So, I turned to Anson and said, "Can I go see Lola?"
Sure enough, Anson nodded. "Go ahead! She is in the innermost courtyard. That's her sanctuary. Chat with her for a while and come back for dinner!"
I quickly nodded. "Alright, I'll go see her and then come back to have dinner with you!"
After that, I smiled at Jared and walked toward the inner part of the house. I sighed quietly as I exited their line of sight.
The Huffman house is indeed huge, and the courtyard was grand. As I walked along the corridor, I was surrounded by green trees and pleasant scenery. Even though I had been here before and Anson had shown me around, I was still reluctant to leave.
While enjoying the courtyard, I quietly thought about Jared and Ivanna. I tried to imagine how Jared would accommodate Trinity. It was indeed a troublesome problem!
Just as I was about to reach the last courtyard, my phone rang. I quickly found my phone in my bag, and the call was from Arnold.
I answered quickly, asking, "Arnold, how is it going over there?"
"Not too good!" Arnold said over the phone.
Surprised, my heart tightened. "What's the situation?"
"I received news the day before yesterday that Hazelyn Chandler had transferred Beatrice!"
"What?"
This news did surprise me. Where could she be transferred to? Moreover, why would Hazelyn transfer Beatrice? Did she discover something?
I hurriedly asked Arnold, "Could it be that they got some information? Do you know where she has been transferred to now?"
"We don't know where she has been transferred to. That's why I called you. We are actively searching, but it's been two days, and we still have no news!"
"Two days? It seems she must have gotten wind of something, or else Hazelyn would not have transferred Beatrice?" I guessed.
"It doesn't matter now. What we are afraid of is that Hazelyn will harm Beatrice!"
Arnold's words echoed my concerns. She could go to the psychiatric hospital whenever she wanted. If she were to hide Beatrice, there would be a real danger to life!
I felt a bit uneasy and turned back, walking quickly.
Back in the flower hall, I explained

briefly to Anson that I couldn't have dinner with him tonight because of urgent matters. I quickly walked outside after bidding farewell, and I didn't even catch anything Anson asked me before I left.
As I walked, I called Atlas, telling him I was going to Gerby and explaining the situation there.
Atlas might have sensed my tone's urgency and inquired about my whereabouts.
I said I had just left the Huffman family. He told me to go back to Amethyst Apartments and wait for him.
I thought that was reasonable. I
couldn't go unprepared this time, as
I had no idea when I would return. I was determined not to return to Foswood until I saved Beatrice. en.swhovels.net
I must find her, bring her back to Foswood and give her proper treatment. The matter of Byron Chandler could be investigated and dealt with slowly, but the situation with Beatrice was urgent.
I could pack two sets of clothes from Amethyst Apartments.
While driving quickly towards Amethyst Apartments, I called my parents. I directly asked them to leave the matter of the house to the Phillips family. Initially, they opposed it, but they became anxious when they heard that I was going on a business trip to Gerby and didn't know when I would be back.
My dad immediately said, "Then we'll hand over the house to the Phillips family, and book tickets back to Foswood tomorrow!"
I hung up the phone and asked Carol to arrange their tickets.
Then, I called Grandma Rose, telling her I was going to Gerby overnight.
Grandma Rose asked immediately, "Is the situation over there bad?"
I briefly explained the current situation, and she repeatedly reminded me to be careful. Nothing could be kept secret from her.
Since Arnold was staying in Gerby, she naturally knew what was going on!
