Chapter 1052: Chapter 1055: An Unexpected Call (Extra 1) Chapter 1052: Chapter 1055: An Unexpected Call (Extra 1) Lily kept vigil by Larry Scott's side, not sleeping the entire night.
Larry Scott stayed with her, and just like her, they both waited in the study room.
It wasn't until dawn began to break that they finally received news of the two children.
“My people have locked on to the car that abducted Abbie and Lulu last night. They are tracking it now, and we should definitely have news within half an hour.”
Upon hearing this, Lily finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
She had feared that even if Larry Scott personally arranged for a search, they wouldn't be able to find any trace.
But now, at least, they had a clue.
Larry Scott, sitting opposite Lily, felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Last night, he had been working overtime at the military base, and Richard Coldwell must have learned of his whereabouts before sending the children over.
But by a twist of fate, he had come back early last night because of some urgent matters, just missing the car that had brought the children.
If he hadn't left last night, perhaps…
However, now, no amount of regret would help.
Larry Scott reined in his feelings of guilt, waiting patiently with Lily for news of the two children.
But before the news arrived, an unexpected visitor did.
Mason Scott, accompanied by a large group of people, blocked the entrance of the study room, knocking loudly on the door.
“Larry Scott, Isabella Martinez and Tania are outside; open the door quickly! The old man himself has spoken and ordered you to come out and hand over that vixen with you!”
Mason Scott's domineering voice came through from outside the door of the study room.
Ever since Mr. Scott had become disappointed with him and started to support Larry Scott instead,
this was the first time in these years that he had received an order from the old man to cause trouble for Larry Scott.
Upon hearing the yelling from outside, Lily's eyes flickered.
The Scott family was even more complex than she had imagined.
Seeming to sense what Lily was thinking, Larry Scott said in a low, reassuring voice, “Don't mind it; his capacity has been limited to this for years. For the sake of his growing old, your mother and I have always shown him some consideration and have always indulged him.”
“But now…” Larry Scott lowered his gaze to his left hand, to the empty space where his little finger should have been.
A sharp look flashed through his cold eyes.
The little father-and-son affection that had existed between him and Mason Scott was almost completely worn away.
Originally, he wouldn't trouble Mason Scott if not troubled by him,
but now that Mason Scott had brought people to cause a scene and trouble Lily, he wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
“Stay here calmly, and answer the phone when it rings. Have them tell you directly about Abbie and Lulu. Uncle will be back soon; don't worry, it won't take too long.”
After speaking, Larry Scott stood up.
Even dressed in casual home clothes, he still carried the upright stance of a soldier.
Lily didn't know how Larry Scott would explain things to Mason Scott and the others.
But she knew that now that the matter had reached Mr. Scott, who was her great-grandfather,
it probably wouldn't be long before her true identity was revealed.
Lily sat in the study room for a while, and after Larry Scott went out, the noise outside gradually subsided.
Until now, it had almost completely disappeared.
Lily didn't know what had happened outside, but she had no time to think about it now. She was only worried about Abbie and Lulu and couldn't spare a thought for anything else.
Just as she was fraught with anxiety, the phone in the study room suddenly rang.
At the same time, her cell phone vibrated, and she received a text message.
Lily, too preoccupied to check her cell phone, was primarily concerned about the whereabouts of her two treasures and immediately answered the phone.
“Hello, Commander Scott isn't here. The Commander ordered that if there's news of the children, just tell me directly,”
she said quickly, afraid that the caller would hang up after hearing a different voice.
However, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
It was only after a few seconds that a stern and aged voice came through.
“This is Christopher Scott. Are you the woman Larry Scott has been keeping outside? You two… even have children?”
[Author's Note] I'm experiencing writer's block today, and I'm afraid you all might be going to sleep, so I'll write one chapter at a time and publish them. Three more chapters to go~
