Female Novel
Chapter 239
With a hint of indifference in his eyes, Joaquin clarified, “I’m Joaquin.”
Taken aback, Meredith froze. Helen didn’t make herself clear in the phone call, so all she knew wasthat one child was gone, but she didn’t know which one. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes,and she resumed wailing. “I’m worried to death! Where’s your brother, Jojo?”
“He’s not found yet,” he replied.
Then, she scrambled to her feet with Joaquin in her arms. In his mind, this was the only time whenshe had held him this way.
“I’m sorry I lost my composure earlier, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. Where’s Jamie? Do you have any newsnow?” she asked with tear-filled eyes as she gazed from John to Helen.
“There’s no news for now. Just calm down first.”
John’s words merely made her even more depressed, and she cried, “Mr. Fowler, how can I calmdown? That’s my son we’re talking about. My son!”
“We’ve combed through the mountain and even the surrounding areas in detail, but there’s stillnothing.” John sighed helplessly.
Should I just wait for the kidnapper to call? he thought. But I just couldn’t get in contact with thatunfilial son now!
Glaring at Selena on the side, Meredith lunged at her and gave her a tight slap. “It’s you! It’s allbecause of you!”
Without uttering a single word nor moving an inch, Selena took in all of it silently. Knowing that sheshould bear the responsibility because she was the one who lost Jameson, she felt that she had
been too careless.
“What should I do that you’ll let me off, Selena? You can come directly at me if you want anythingwith me, but don’t hurt my child!” Meredith wailed and fell to her knees. “I’m sorry, Selena. You canscold and hit me if I’ve done anything wrong, but please don’t ever hurt my child because he’sinnocent!”
Staring at her, Selena felt really uncomfortable; she had been through the pain of losing Juniperbefore, so she could understand what Meredith was feeling now.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I merely wanted to bring them out to have some fun.” Grittingher teeth, she added, “I’ll definitely find him.” Then, she left in big strides.
After Helen cast the servant a look, she quickly went over and helped Meredith up from her kneesto a seat on a chair. Holding Joaquin back into her arms, Meredith pressed his face against hers.
As Joaquin watched the tears in her eyes, he felt really bad. So she still cares about us in her heart,he thought. After all, she was their biological mother.novelbin
“Bring Young Master Joaquin back to his room,” John instructed the servant, feeling that there weresome situations which were unsuitable for children to be present.
When he had left the room, Meredith wiped away her tears and began, “Mr. Fowler, was Selenawith your men the whole time these past few days?”
“Yes.”
“That’s why we can’t find Jamie!” she cried out with a look of hatred in her eyes.
“So you’re saying…”
“There could be no one else but her!” she spat, looking at him with ferocity in her eyes. “This sisterof mine is capable of anything. She could even pretend that everything was alright when Megan felldown the staircase and almost died from the miscarriage, but that doesn’t mean that she hadnothing to do with it!” As she shut her eyes in agony, tears rolled down her cheeks from the cornersof her eyes. “How could there be such a coincidence?
