Chapter 603


    Thssa felt her heart sink in disappointment. Although she was anxious and upset, she didn’t want


    her mother to worry so she reassured her, “It’s nothing. I was just asking. All right, I’ve got to go.”


    Thssa was burning with impatience. She hadn’t even gotten the chance to ask why Evelyn was in


    the hospital.


    After hanging up, she immediately called Hertha, only to find out that she also hadn’t picked up the


    kids.


    Thssa’s heart was wracked with worry, her breath was heavy, and she felt like she was suffocating.


    If no one had picked up the kids, where could they have been?


    Going from hope to despair, Thssa was so scared that her temples were throbbing.


    She sat in the cab, feeling helpless.


    She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. But then, she suddenly thought of someone.


    Her fingers trembled slightly as she scrolled through her call history on her phone. She was looking for


    Fitch’s number. He had called her once before.


    Thankfully, she hadn’t made many calls recently, so she found Fitch’s number quickly.


    Thssa dialed his number.


    With each ring, her heartbeat quickened.


    After about ten seconds, the call was picked up.


    Without waiting for the other person to speak, Thssa blurted out, “Fitch, are the kids at Royal


    Estates?”


    “No,” Fitch answered.


    That one word felt like it had hollowed out Thssa’s heart. Her face drained of color, and all her hopes


    were crushed.


    She was on the verge of breaking down.


    Then Fitch added, “When I went to pick up the kids this afternoon, the teacher said someone had


    already taken them. I notified Lysander. He’s on his way to look for them now.”


    Thssa took in a shaky breath, swallowing back her fear, and asked, “Where is Lysander going to


    look?”


    “The Sinir’s mansion. Apparently, Zephyr picked them up.” Fitch didn’t hide anything. He told


    Thssa everything.


    At the mention of Zephyr, Thssa felt her heart drop back into ce. The kids weren’t in danger.


    Zephyr had just picked them up.


    She didn’t have to worry about their safety anymore.


    But Thssa was still uneasy.


    She thanked Fitch and gave the cab driver the address.


    She had been to the Sinir’s mansion before and knew where it was. She wanted to see for herself to


    make sure. She wouldn’t have been at ease until


    she did.


    Zephyr had picked up the kids without saying a word to her or Lysander.


    That made her nervous,


    What was Zephyr nning?


    The cab stopped halfway up the hill to the Sinir mansion.


    Confused, Thssa asked, “Sir, why are we stopping?”


    The driver turned around and exined, “This is a private estate, and there’s a checkpoint up ahead.


    Outsiders aren’t allowed in. You’d better get off here and walk.”.


    Thssa looked out the window and saw a checkpoint not far away.


    She had walked past that checkpoint before when she wasing down from the hill. It was easy to


    bypass the barrier on foot, but cars couldn’t get in.


    “All right, thank you, sir.” Thssa paid the fare and got out of the cab.


    She started walking up the hill. As she approached the checkpoint, a security guard came out and


    stopped her. “Sorry, but you can’t just walk in here.”

    Thssa tried to exin, “I know the owner. I really need to get in.”


    “Please leave. The guard was firm. Their job was to keep outsiders out.


    Just as Thssa was wondering what to do, she saw a ck Rolls-Royce approaching in the distance.
