SWNOVELS Chapter 593 Where Is Mommy
"Damn it!" Julius' countenance became dark when he saw the chopper in the sky.
According to his calculations, they would be out of this forest in seven days.
However, he had not expected that the others would go so far as to deploy choppers to search for them. Even though the choppers could not cover the entire forest, they had a wide aerial vision. Therefore, he had to be extra careful with every step he took and think of the consequences if it took him even longer to walk some distance.
Initially, it would only take him one day to go from point A to point B, but it now took him three to four days.
The silver lining was that he had prepared many provisions in advance and put them in various caves along the road. Otherwise, he would have already starved to death.
"You said you would let us go after seven days. Is your promise still valid?" Susan could not help asking.
Julius replied with a cold expression, "It would be valid if that f eking stupid chopper was not here. If I can't get out of here, you two are going down with me."
Julius' expression was vile. Susan and Julian exchanged a glance and stayed silent.
Julius was getting more and more cautious. He only allowed them to roam freely in the cave. He would tie their hands up and put gags into their mouths whenever they were on the move, as he was afraid that they might alarm the rescue team.
Julian and Susan had to admit that Julius was indeed very capable. Even though their movements were sluggish, as they had to be mindful of every step they took, they did not get discovered by the chopper or the rescue team.
This was good news for Julius, but not for Julian and Susan. The two of them were getting more and more worried.
Considering their situation, they had no clue when they would get out of there.
They had gone off the grid for so long that they reckoned that their families would be worried sick about them.
However, there was nothing they could do.
A week had passed, and they had found nothing.
Two weeks had passed, and the result was the same.
They did not get any intel whatsoever about Susan and Julian's whereabouts. Even George and Oliver could not help feeling despair.
Even if they had survived the fall, they would have starved to death after such a long time.
Were Julian and Susan still alive? They did not know, and their confidence, which had started out strong, was getting weaker and weaker as time passed.
Even George and Oliver thought like that, let alone Luna.
She washed her face with tears every day and kept wasting away rapidly.
If it were not for Anna and Serenity, she would have collapsed already.
Chesney and Lucas had been asking about Susan as well.
However, none of the Wrights had the guts to tell them the truth. They could only shrug them off by telling them that Susan had traveled to a faraway place and would return very soon. Two more weeks flitted by.
"Granny, it's been a month. Why hasn't mommy returned yet?" Chesney asked as she looked eagerly at Luna.
It took Luna a lot of effort not to cry in front of Chesney as she said softly, "Your mommy is busy with work."
"But in the past, mommy would call Chessie no matter how busy she was." Chesney refused to accept this excuse. She watched Luna with dewy eyes as she said," Mommy doesn't want Chessie anymore? Just like daddy doesn't want me?"
Luna could only hold her tears back at last. She could not utter a single word anymore as she turned her head sideways.
"What happened, granny?" Chessie asked dumbfoundedly.
Lucas, who was more observant than Chesney, asked, "Are you crying, granny?"
"No, no. Granny is not crying," Anna hastily chimed in, ended the conversation. Her voice was shaking a little as she added," Chessie, Luca, granny has not been feeling well lately, so can we talk about your mommy some other time?"
Chesney and Lucas were sensible children. Even though they missed Susan a lot, since Luna did not feel well, they nodded obediently.
Where had mommy gone? And would she return?
Those two questions were rooted deeply in the two kids' hearts and made them feel restless.
After the servants took both of them away, Luna finally could not hold back anymore and broke into tears.
"It has been a month! Will Susie and Julian come back to us?" A string of tears rolled down Luna's cheeks.
"I'm sure they will return. I have faith in them." Anna and Serenity had been keeping Luna company the whole time. Both of them forced down the urge to cry and comforted her.
Luna wiped the tears off her cheeks. Anna and Serenity's consolation seemed to work, but her face had turned even paler.
It was at that moment that the phone rang.
Anna walked over to pick it up.
"Miss, I have something..." The doorman's flustered voice rang out from the other side of the line.
"Granny, granny." Suddenly, the two kids ran in from outside with several people following them.
Anna squinted, and it soon dawned on her what the doorman had wanted to tell her. Unfortunately, it was too late. They had already come in.
Anna hung up the phone.
Surprise flitted across Luna's eyes when she saw the newcomers.
Why are these people here?" "It's not nice to see you, Mrs. Wright,"
Madam Shaw said flatly.
Anna frowned at the servants at the door as if she was asking them why they had let them in.
Upon receiving her signal, a servant hastily replied, "We bumped into them the moment we arrived at the gate. They said they would let little miss and little master know about Miss Susan's whereabouts if we let them in. Little miss then made a scene in front of the gate, and the doorman could not stop them from getting in."
"Since you refused to see me, I had to find a way to come and see you," Madam Shaw said indifferently.
"Can you tell me where mommy is now?" Chesney asked eagerly.
"Chesney, go upstairs!" Luna shouted sternly.
"No!" Chesney shouted back, tears forming in her eyes. "I just want to know where mommy is. Why don't any of you want to tell me?"
Lucas held Chesney's hand and chimed in, his voice resolute and firm, "Chessie and I are almost 7 years old. There are a lot of things that we should know."
"Take them upstairs," Luna ordered against their wishes.
The servants tried to take the two kids upstairs, but they struggled for all they were worth. Chesney even knocked her head amid this mess, and a weal soon appeared on her forehead.
Luna's heart skipped a beat, and she felt heartache for her.
"Please, granny. Just tell me where mommy is." Chesney pleaded as she looked weakly at Luna.
Serenity's eyes were filled to the brim with tears. It took her a lot of effort to hold back her tears. She went forward to help Luna stand as she said in a hushed voice, "Mom, this is something we can't hide forever from them."
If Susan was dead, they could hide it from them for a month or even a year, but could they hide it for a lifetime?
Luna slumped into Serenity's arms. She waved her hand listlessly and the servants released the two kids.
Madam Shaw watched the scene from the sidelines. When she looked at Chesney and Lucas, a hint of disgust flitted across her face as she said without any qualms, "You two want to know what happened to that slut, huh? Let me tell you what happened. She is dead! And before she died, she killed my Julian!"
Madam Shaw spoke very fast, so it was too late when the Wrights tried to stop her.
D... Dead?
Both of the kids were stunned.
