Chapter 105


    Chapter 105 Anne waited for Cheyenne at home, wondering if Sarah had said something that upset


    Cheyenne. Noticing she waste for work, she went ahead and applied for a half day leave. Her


    reputation was in the dirt in the Aesthetic Clinic regardless of what she did, so it would not make any


    difference if she was absent for another day. She waited for hours, but Cheyenne had not returned, she


    then called the school to check, yet there was still no news of her mother.


    When she tried to call Cheyenne again, Anne found out that her phone was turned off and instantly


    realized the severity of the situation.


    No matter how upset Cheyenne might be, she would not possibly be absent in school when she had only


    started working there. She seemed so happy when she got the job that it wasn‘t possible for her to not


    show up at work out of the blue.


    Anne hurried to the school to ask the guard about it. The guard had not heard of Cheyenne, but agreed


    to help check the surveince footage, which showed that Cheyenne had run into Sarah when she was


    leaving the school with the triplets. Afterward, she took the children back into the school and judging from


    the time stamp, that was around the time when Cheyenne called Anne.


    Skipping to an hourter, Sarah was still waiting outside the school and Cheyenne came out on her own,


    before stepping into Sarah‘s car, without returning until morning. Anne was furious to say the least. If her


    aunt had indeed taken her mother somewhere, why would she not admit to it?


    She immediately made a call to Sarah.


    “Hi, Anne. Have you eaten?”


    “Where‘s my mom?“.


    “Why are you asking me about her? How would I know?”


    “She got into your carst night and she hasn‘t been home since then. She hasn‘t even shown up to


    work. Auntie, I‘m begging you. Stop torturing my mom, okay? It‘s bad enough that she had to live on her


    own until now.” Anne felt both concerned and helpless. “She did leave school in my car, but she got off


    after we talked! How would I know where she went? Anne, I think she went into hiding in an attempt to


    cause conflicts between the two of us.” Sarah had nothing but contempt for the uneducated, low–born


    woman.


    “My mom wouldn‘t do such a thing.”


    “You are too naive, Anne. Don‘t you know why a person who pretended to be dead for years to suddenly


    come home and cling onto you? She realizes that she is old with no one to rely on. She didn‘t think of


    you when she was young, now, did she?” Sarah had seen it all. “Even if that‘s what she thinks, it‘s not


    exactly wrong. Shouldn‘t I take care of her!” “You can‘t be that kind to everyone, Anne. You will be taken


    advantage of!” Sarah lectured. Anne did not want any advice, all she wanted was to find her mother.


    Once again, she asked,”


    So you really didn‘t kidnap my mom?” “I told you that she got out of the car in the middle of the road.


    Where exactly am I supposed to hide a person?” “Where did you drop her off?” Sarah gave her an


    address and Anne hurried over. Along the way, she tried calling Cheyenne again, but it was still not


    answered.

    The road Sarah mentioned was a small road with a crossroad up ahead and a city garden to the right.


    Anne walked along the street and because it was noon on a weekday, there were not many people in the


    garden. The garden was enormous with countless trails. She looked everywhere, but Cheyenne was


    nowhere to be found. In the end, she stood by the peacefulke and watched as the leaves fell onto the


    water, sending ripples to where she was standing.


    She did not understand why Cheyenne would disappear after getting off the car.


    Anne could not bring herself to go back to work without knowing where Cheyenne was, so she took a


    taxi to the police station instead.


    “Has it been twenty–four hours? Could it be that she simply didn‘t mention where she was going? Why


    don‘t you wait for a while longer?” The police officer said.


    “My mom wouldn‘t do that. Her phone is turned off. That‘s not normal. She got off on Baker Street. Can


    you please check the surveince camera for that time?” Anne could not bear to wait any longer.
