Chapter 407


    Lucy froze. “Is that so?”


    No wonder he refused to agree to it at the start. No wonder he told me a monthter but made himself


    scarce by that. So that''s why.


    Gwendolyn nodded. “Patrick told me about it. He said Lucas won''t be able to do the job he''s doing


    anymore if he does the surgery.”


    At that, Lucy''s face turned gloomy. She pursed her lips and mulled over it.


    Right then, Gwendolyn''s phone rang. It was a call from Justin.


    “Justin, you''re done with the sses?”


    Isn''t it a little early? But they do finish their sses earlier when they have activities.


    “Mommy, Juliette''s missing. Felicia took her.”


    Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn leaped to her feet and hastily walked outside.


    “What''s going on? Aren''t you in the same ss as her? How did Felicia take her away?”


    Gwendolyn was terrified. She did not know what Felicia would do to Juliette.


    The very thought of how Felicia and her mother had set her up back then sent chills running down her


    spine.


    They''re heartless and cruel! Juliette''s still so young. She''s a simple-minded girl, and she won''t know


    how terrifying the world of adults is. What do I do? Will Felicia hit her? Will she sell her to human


    traffickers?


    “Gwen, what''s wrong?”


    Lucy was stunned by the dazed look Gwendolyn had and the tears that welled up in her eyes.


    After ending the call, Gwendolyn fervently pressed the elevator buttons, impatient.


    “Luce, Felicia took Juliette. I don''t know where she is right now. I''m going to look for Juliette!”


    Lucy was taken aback as well. “I''lle with you!”


    “What about Mnie?”


    “Don''t worry. Lucas hired a nurse aide and a housekeeper. Even if I''m not around, they''ll be taking care


    of her.”


    Gwendolyn nodded at that.


    “Okay, okay. We''ll look for her together, then.”


    Even after they reached the parking lot and had Lucy drive while Gwendolyn sat in the passenger''s


    seat, thetter was still panicking.

    She kept muttering under her breath, “What do I do? Juliette''s so young. She won''t be able to defend


    herself.”


    I should have gone to the kindergarten when I left Zayden''s ce. No wonder I was so anxious today. It


    had been my motherly instincts!


    Lucy drove and asionally nced at her. “Gwen, call Patrick. He has a wide socialwork, so I''m


    sure he''ll be able to help you out.”


    It was then Gwendolyn recalled Patrick''s existence. “Right. I can get Patrick to help me out.”


    With that, she took out her phone and called him.


    Patrick had been busy over the eastern district''s mattertely, for he had to deal with everything


    personally.


    The media reporters wanted to interview him, and he had to meet the family members as well.


    Furthermore, he had to settle the ongoing discussion among the people too.


    At the same time, he had to make arrangements for the employees in Lowen Group. Patrick


    desperately wished he could clone himself to wrap up his work.


    When Gwendolyn''s call went through, it was Liam who picked it up.


    “Ms. Ashton, it''s me, Liam. Mr. Lowen isn''t free to answer the call right now.”


    Gwendolyn froze. What do I do if he can''t pick up the call?


    “Liam, I need him to pick up the call. Please hurry up. I have something urgent to tell him!” she cried


    out, frightening Liam with her fraught tone.


    “Of course, I''m going to pass him the phone now. Calm down. Don''t cry.”


    Soon, a man''s maic voice came from the other end of the line.


    “Gwen, what''s wrong?”


    Patrick''s heart was breaking when Liam told him that Gwendolyn was crying.


    “Patrick, Felicia took Juliette! I''m scared she''ll hurt her!”


    At that point, Gwendolyn started crying again. Patrick knew that things were serious, for the only thing


    that could make Gwendolyn panic and cry was when her children were involved.


    However, the one who worried him most was Juliette.


    “Okay, leave this to me. Wait for my news at home, and don''t go wandering around.”


    “No! I want to go and look for her!”


    Patrick furrowed his brows. “Be good. You''re only going to distract me.”


    He was certain that she could not think straight at the moment, and he was afraid that she might get


    into a car ident in this state. He was also worried that she would end up going missing if she were to


    wander everywhere like a headless chicken.


    What goal does Felicia have by taking Juliette away? Maybe she wants to threaten Gwendolyn.
