Chapter 1554


    Lawrie hid in the corner alone, curled up into a ball. Silvia and Jayden attempted to persuade him


    but to no avail. In desperation, Silvia brought Larry over so he could keep Lawriepany.


    Lawrie did not utter a single word, so Silvia led the conversation. "Lawrie, would you like to y with


    Larry? If you do, but don''t want to talk, just nod gently. Larry will understand."


    Lawrie did not respond.


    Silvia was very patient with young children. Although her first attempt failed, she continued, "Baby


    Lawrie, if you hear what I''m saying, please nod your head, is that all right?"


    Silvia waited for a moment. Just when she thought that the attempt was fruitless, she saw the little


    Lawrie nodding slightly.


    Silvia was jubnt. This indicated that the little one was aware of his surroundings and did not seal


    himself in his own world. She continued, "Lawrie, would you like to y with me?"


    Lawrie hesitated for a moment and nodded in the end.


    Seeing Lawrie’s cooperation, Silvia praised him for his great performance. She asked again, "Larry,


    can you please ask Lawrie what he wants to eat?"


    Larry replied, "I know that Lawrie likes to eat c-fried chicken wings."


    "Wow, you can remember what Lawrie likes to eat. Larry, you are amazing too." Silvia patted their


    heads and asked, "Lawrie, do you like to eat chicken wings?"


    Lawrie nodded again.


    Silvia was so delighted that she snapped her fingers upon Lawrie''s response. "Well, I’ll ask the


    kitchen staff to prepare chicken wings for you today. Lawrie, you have not eaten for a long time, you


    must eat more."


    Amazingly, Lawrie nodded as well.


    Although Lawrie still did not speak, he was willing to nod andmunicate with others, which was


    also great progress. Silvia was as happy as ark and picked Lawrie up. The little boy did not


    refuse.


    At this moment, Maria brought the phone over and said, "Silvia, Miss Vanessa called and requested


    to put Lawrie on the phone."


    Vanessa called?


    Really?!


    Silvia remained skeptical, but she reached for the phone. "Is it really you, Vanessa?"


    Vanessa''s voice rang. "Silvia, I''m fine. Don''t worry. Lawrie is a very sensitive child. Thanks for taking


    care of him when I was unconscious."


    "Oh no! Don''t mention it." Silvia ced the phone beside Lawrie''s ear. "Lawrie, it''s your Mommy on


    the phone. She''s looking for you. Say something to her."


    Lawrie did not believe the news. He remained silent and eyed the phone suspiciously until a familiar


    and lovely female voice spoke, "Lawrie, my baby."


    "Mommy..." Lawrie pouted his lips when he heard his mother''s voice. He let loose all his emotions


    and tears coursed down his cheeks. "Mommy, I don''t want to be away from you."


    Hearing the little one’s sobs, Vanessa''s heart went out to him. "Lawrie, I didn''t want to be separated


    from you too. It''s just that I am unwell and I am in the hospital currently. You don''t like hospitals, so I


    didn''t ask you toe and apany me. Do you understand?"


    "I want to be wherever you are," Lawrie detested going to the hospital, but if his mother was there,


    he would still be willing to go to the hospital to apany her. He didn'' t want his mother to feel


    lonely!


    Vanessaforted him gently. "Lawrie, eat first. Once you have eaten, I''ll ask Auntie Silvia to bring


    you over."


    "I will... Auntie Silvia said that she would make me some c- fried chicken wings. When I''m full, I''ll


    go look for you, Mommy." Lawrie nodded his head repeatedly. As long as he could see his Mommy,


    he would finish his meal properly. He recalled her saying that he must eat properly to grow quickly


    and once he grew up, he would be able to protect her!


    Hearing the soft and cute voice of her young son, Vanessa wished more than anything in the world


    to be by his side immediately. "My baby is so obedient. I love you!"


    The little boy responded adorably, "I love Mommy too!"


    "I know. Lawrie, now please pass the phone to Aunt Silvia. I want to speak to her." On his mother'' s


    instructions, Lawrie obediently handed the phone to Silvia. "Auntie Silvia, Mommy wants to talk to


    you."


    "All right." Seeing that Lawrie was beaming from ear to ear, Silvia heaved a sigh of relief. "Vanessa,


    don''t worry. I''ll feed Lawrie and I''ll bring him overter."


    Vanessa said politely, "Silvia, thank you for


    your help."


    Silvia said, "It’s my pleasure, don''t mention it!" Although the kidnapping incident had nothing to do


    with her, Silvia just could not stop feeling guilty. She kept thinking that if she didn’t propose to go to


    the amusement park that day, Vanessa might not encounter any danger.


    Silvia did not reveal to Vanessa what was on her mind, but she made a solemn vow that she would


    take good care of Vanessa in the future.


    In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and Vanessa was discharged from the hospital after


    her wounds had healed.


    Before leaving the hospital, Joel came to report, "Mr. Kyle, we have handed Fiona Cobb and the


    evidence over to the police. The court will soon hear her case. She will be charged with multiple


    offenses. It is very likely that she will receive lifetime imprisonment."


    Julien scoffed and responded, "Huh. Her sins are unforgivable, so spending her life rotting in jail is


    good news for us. Let her spend the rest of her life repenting!"


    Joel obeyed. "Yes, sir. I will see to that."


    Julien asked, "How''s the investigation on


    Yvette''s matter going?"


    "I was about to report this matter to you." Joel took out a few photos and handed them to Julien.


    "The matter has been ascertained. The kidnapping incident was done by Fiona together with her


    former subordinates. It seemed to have nothing to do with Yvette. Strictly speaking, there are some


    connections as Yvette is also the victim of this incident."

    Julien raised his brows. "She''s also a victim?"


    Joel reported, "She went to Secret Garden that night and had some disagreement with Mrs.


    Spencer. She got out of the car not long after the Spencer family''s car pulled away from Secret


    Garden. All these are backed up with videos as evidence. The first photo in your hand was retrieved


    from the video."


    Seeing that Julien did notment, Joel continued, "Not long after getting off the car, Yvette was


    kidnapped by Fiona. The Spencers'' vehicle returned to the crime scene, but they didn''t find anyone


    there. Finally, they returned home and did not make any detours along the way."


    Julien said, "Aunt Faye is my mother''s best friend. I believe her."


    "Yes, Mrs. Spencer is a good person." Julien''s faith in Faye was one matter, but his subordinates


    still conducted the investigation thoroughly, as it was rted to Vanessa''s safety. If they made any


    mistakes, their big boss, Julien, would be furious, with serious consequences. Hence, no one dared


    to take the matter lightly and closely investigated everyone who had crossed paths with the Kyles.


    Julien levelled a re on Joel. Did he ask for Joel''s opinion at all?!
