Chapter 390


    I nced down at my phone and saw that it was Cami calling back.


    Hannah gave a quick look at the phone as she continued to drive, and I quickly picked up. "Hey,


    Cami!"


    "Aaliyah, I was in the kitchen and didn''t hear your call!" Her voice sounded cheerful, "Is Fidelia


    behaving?"


    "Absolutely! She''s been in high spirits since we got here, so I totally forgot to call you back. It was


    Hannah who reminded me!" I confessed honestly, not hiding a thing, "You don’t need to worry. Monique


    has been with her every step of the way!"

    "Yeah, Fidelia told me over the phone. She''s all giggles now!" Cami''s voice choked up a bit, "She''s


    never been this happy back home with me!"


    "Well, they''re learning together, running wild around the streets. How could she not be happy? With my


    girl Monique keeping herpany, how could she possibly behave?" I chuckled openly, "She''s


    adjusted so well and hasn''t been shy like you warned!"


    "Her dad asked about her just yesterday!"


    My heart tightened before I asked, "Did you tell him? That she''se to Silverdale City?"


    "I did. I told him Fidelia''s with you in Silverdale City!" Cami''s tone was gentle, seemingly without


    concern.


    I had this unsettling feeling, "Is Jerome back home?"


    "No, he just made a phone call, inquiring about Fidelia," Cami said calmly.


    "Oh! I thought he was back and was worried about not seeing Fidelia around." Iughed it off, probing


    intentionally, "You told him I took her away, and did he say anything? And didn''t you ask where he''s


    at?"


    "No, he didn''t say much. Don''t worry! He rarely gets involved with us anyway," Cami said,


    downying the matter.


    She never did say how Jerome reacted to the news of me taking Fidelia away. But his sudden call to


    Cami, asking about Fidelia, was telling.


    It meant he knew Fidelia was in Silverdale City.


    I skirted around the topic, asking a few questions about Jerome, but Cami was vague. I didn''t dare


    press any further.


    After some small talk, we ended the call, and I turned to Hannah. "Jerome knows Fidelia''s here in


    Silverdale City!"


    "I heard. Seems like he''s probably still in Goldenvale Town," Hannah muttered.


    Something didn''t sit right with me, a sense of unease lingering.


    As we arrived at the Wood Manor, we parked the car and walked in together. It was eerily quiet—I


    thought no one was home. But as we stepped inside, I froze. There they were, scattered around, fast


    asleep. Looked like they''d pulled an all-nighter.


    I tugged at Hannah, and we tiptoed back out before I whispered, "Looks like they stayed up all night!"


    "Allie, I''ll drop you off and thene back to order them some dinner!" Hannah nced back


    reluctantly.


    "Sure, go ahead and order now. It’s just a short walk from home! Don''t worry about me!" I reassured


    her, knowing she was worried about Larkin.


    "It’s okay. Just let them sleep a bit more. I''ll drop you off. It''s no trouble! We can orderter!" Hannah


    insisted on sending me home. I knew she wouldn''t dare leave me alone.


    No need to guess—it was the panoramic map of Oldtown Avenue.


    I gestured Hannah to go. This time, she didn''t hesitate, nodded, and left.


    I joined the group, and my dad nced up. "You''re back! Come, take a look at this map. Have you


    seen it before?"


    I hurried over, and Probert made room for me, "Mom, over here!" Read at


    I took the heavy booklet with both hands, its pages made of professional blueprint paper, impressively


    assembled.


    But as I opened the booklet, I waspletely astonished.
