Chapter 1615
In Hannahâs mind, a figure materialized so suddenly that it sent a shiver of excitement through her trembling hands.
Could it really be the one, the person who might have perished in a raging inferno, the same person Zavier had failed to find for two long years?
She yearned to step closer for a better look, but the fear of facing a disappointing outcome froze her in place. Rooted to the spot, she stared at the slender, familiar
silhouette.
Casey followed Hannahâs gaze and also noticed the delicate figure. âHey Hannah, whatâs so fascinating about that person?â
Caseyâs voice snapped Hannah back to reality. Quickly averting her eyes as if nothing had happened, she said, âNothing, letâs head back.â
After a few steps, Hannah couldnât resist glancing back again. She still felt convinced that the silhouette belonged to someone she knew. âCasey, hand me my phone, please.â
Casey promptly fished out the phone and passed it to Hannah.e2
Hannah unlocked the device, opened WhatsApp, and scrolled to Corneliaâs chat. [Cornelia, I saw someone. Their profile looks so much like Skyler, but Iâm scared itâs not her. I didnât dare to approach.]
After typing the message, Hannah hesitated before sending it.
Zavier had always suspected that Cornelia and Marcus were hiding Skyler, so there was a good chance he was monitoring Corneliaâs phone. Sending this message might tip him off. After a momentâs indecision, Hannah deleted the text and wrote something else. [Cornelia, Iâm missing you and my godson.]
It was their code. If Cornelia remembered, she would come to confirm.
Soon enough, Cornelia replied, [Itâs perfect timing, Iâm not swamped with work. Iâll bring my son over to visit your set.]
Hannah responded, [Great, Iâll be waiting for you and my godson.]
After sending the message, Hannah looked back once more, her heart filled with hope that the person was indeed Skyler.
Cornelia moved quickly. She arrived that very evening.
Hannah gave her driver and assistant the slip and drove to the airport herself to pick up Cornelia. âDidnât bring my godson along?â/
Cornelia smiled. âThat little guy is super attached to his dad. I couldnât bring him by myself.â
Hannah teased, âLook at you, youâre the mom whoâs not close to her son.â
Cornelia defended herself. âIâve been busy with work, and Marcus spends more time with him. Plus, Marcus worries itâs too tiring for me to take care of our son alone. If I insisted on bringing him, Marcus would have come too.â
Hannah acknowledged, âYour man really takes good care of you.â
Cornelia retorted, âYours is no different.â
Hannah hesitated, âCorneliaâ¦â
Cornelia, sensing what Hannah was about to discuss, tossed her phone onto the car seat and pulled Hannah a few meters away, asking urgently, âDid you get news about Skyler?â
Hannah nodded. âToday, while we were shooting in a village, I saw a woman. Her figure looked so much like Skyler, but I didnât dare to confirm. I was afraid of scaring her away if it wasnât her.
âBut Iâve already asked the village kids around. The timeline of the âMs. Skye who came here to teach lines up with when Skyler disappeared. I think itâs very likely that Skye is the Skyler weâve been looking forâ¦â
Cornelia agreed, âHannah, you did the right thing. We donât know if Skyler wants to be found, and we canât just barge into her life.â
