Chapter 1430
After that, she fell into complete silence.
After we got into the car, Sheridan started driving us back and Abby no longer stuck her head outthe window to enjoy the scenery. She just sat there motionlessly, without a single expression on hersmall face.
I wanted to comfort her but when I opened my mouth, I didn't know what to say.
I had no other choice but to remain silent.
We had been driving for a while, but we had yet to reach the highway. I looked at Sheridan withsome hesitation and said, "Mr. Lawson, are we heading the wrong way?"
He glanced at the rearview mirror and slightly pursed his lips. After a pause, he said, "Miss Reid, itseems that someone is following us."
I frowned and turned to look at the car behind me. I saw a gray van following closely behind. I was alittle taken aback. I looked back at Sheridan and said, "Mr. Lawson, how long has this car beenfollowing us?"
"They have been following us since the moment we left the village. At first, I thought it was acoincidence. I took a detour, but they are still
behind us."
I pursed my lips, "Could it be someone from the Hathaway family?" But after a moment of thought, itdid not seem like something Gail would do.
Sheridan shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it."
After a pause, he asked, "Do you want them gone?"
I shook my head, "No need. We'll just head back like usual. I would like to see how long they intendto follow us."novelbin
Along the way, Abby had been silent. I sent messages to Valerie and asked her how Anne wasdoing. Valerie said that everything was going smoothly. She had just gone through another round ofchemotherapy and was sent into a sterile room to rest.
Initially, I planned to give Hendrix a call but after a long drive, I was feeling dizzy and nauseous.Thus, I didn't call him for now.
It was already midnight when we finally arrived in Asherton. Sheridan tucked Abby in bed and leftnot long after.
When I went to see him off, he glanced at my surroundings and said, "If anything happens, call meright away."
I recalled the van that had been tailing us on our way home, so I nodded and agreed. After he left, Iwent into the house and locked the door. I went to check on Abby and found that she was still fastasleep.
When I went back to my room, I planned to give Hendrix a call, but he was first to call instead. Ipicked up the phone and heard his deep voice ring out, "What is going on? Why couldn't I getthrough to you for the entire day?"
"Mr. Lawson and I went to Abby's hometown. The reception there is terrible. We have just returnedhome. How's it going on your side?" I said as I walked to the balcony and looked out the window.
"Well, it's a little tricky, but it is not a big deal. Evan is already in Asherton. If you have any problems,you can contact him. I will come back as soon as I am done here."
I looked out the window and found nothing out of the ordinary. I closed the window and replied him,"I have officially adopted Abby. Hendrix, we can carry out Anne's surgery legally now."
He didn't reply for a very long time and I initially thought that he was upset. Finally, his deep voicerang out again, "Arianna, if you do this, do you think you're any different from the child's parents andSebastian?"
