Chapter 443
Lara sighed and said, “I did all this for our family. She left after making a fuss and didn’t even answer
my call. It looks like I owe her in my previous life!”
“Stopining. You should be d that Penny is so mature. Look at the others; there are not many
people out there who are as excellent as her,” said Edward.
Putting some thought into it, Lara said, “Then you should give her a call and ask her toe back for a
meal this weekend.”
Agreeing with her, Eugene took out his phone and called Penny. But he was told that her phone had
been turned off.
He looked at Lara in surprise. “Her phone’s off.”
Lara eximed, “That’s impossible! She doesn’t have that habit!”
Feeling like something was wrong, Edward said, “Maybe her battery’s dead. You go to bed first. I’ll go
to her house to have a look.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Lara.
The both of them drove to Penny’s house, but she didn’t open the door even after they had been
knocking for a long time. The more time had passed, the more worried they got. In the end, they could
only enter the house using the spare key and prepared to wait for her in the house.
However, when they got in, they found that the house was uninhabited. It was so empty that they felt
like no one had been staying there for a long time.
They then found a letter on the coffee table with Penny’s handwriting on it.
‘Dad, Mom, I’m not sure if you guys will find this letter. All I hope is for you to think of me. When you
find this letter, I may be far away from this city already. Actually, I have always thought of leaving. This
is not on a whim. I always feel like I’m your puppet with no right to my own feelings and thoughts. But, I
do have my own thoughts. Sometimes, I wonder if the purpose of my existence was to please both of
you. Today, I finally understand. I do have feelings and I hate obeying your orders. I want to live my
own life. So, I decided to leave. Please don’t be worried about me. Whether my life is smooth sailing or
difficult in the future, this is my own choice. I won''t me this on anyone. With regard, Penny.’
After reading the letter, Edward looked toward Lara with teary eyes. “Where do you think she has
gone?”
But Lara wasn’t crying; instead, she was dazed. “Who has she been in contact with recently? How did
she be so rebellious all of a sudden?”
Edward’s tears then fell. “Where are we supposed to find our kid? I’m afraid we really hurt her this
time.”
Lara looked cold. All that was showing on her face was the anxiousness one would feel when they
were betrayed. “Find her! We need to find out who has been in touch with her. We need to get
someone to check the flight! If she doesn''t want us to find her, she has probably gone overseas. Look
into her ssmates and friends that are close to her!”
As she was saying this, she got to her feet and walked straight outside.

Edward scowled as he nced at Lara’s back. Lara wasn’t wrong for what she had said. But, he felt
like she was way too calm—as if she had no emotions. Putting Eugene and Brian aside, she was
exceptionally cold even toward her biological daughter!
Instead of leaving, Edward walked into Penny’s room. On the bedside table, there was a photo frame
that was lying face down. Setting the photo frame up, he noticed that it was a photo of the three of
them. Back then, Penny was only about ten years old. She was standing in the middle and she sported
two high ponytails. He was holding her hand. The both of them smiled happily, but not Lara. She looked
cold as always, but it was undeniable that she was gorgeous!
It was a pity that Penny had covered up the photograph. Perhaps, she doesn’t want to look at it!
His phone suddenly rang. Checking the screen, it was Lara. Edward swiped the screen to answer.
However, before he could say anything, Lara’s demanding voice sounded out. “Aren’t you leaving?”
