Chapter 595 - Abducting Amelia

Under Karen’s intentional pleasing, she and Cheyenne spent a seemingly harmonious afternoon together.

Seeing that it was already past four o’clock and that Amelia was about to be dismissed soon, Karen began to get more and more flustered and nervous.

But once she thought of Moses’s threat earlier, she didn’t dare to hesitate any longer.

“Cheyenne, you have to keep your father company in the hospital every day now, and Charlotte is busy with work too. In that case, I’ll pick up Amelia from kindergarten today!

“I haven’t seen Amelia for a few days, so I’ll bring her to see your father today. Maybe he’ll wake up after Amelia speaks to him,” Karen suddenly said with a smile.

Cheyenne was rather surprised.

Since Karen didn’t know how to drive, she basically wouldn’t take the initiative to pick Amelia up from kindergarten in the past.

“Mom, you can’t drive. It won’t be convenient for you to pick her up, will it? Grace has been helping us pick Amelia up in the last few days…”

At this moment, an extremely bizarre feeling arose in her heart, but she couldn’t figure out the reason, so she could only say this.

When Karen heard Cheyenne’s refusal, she panicked and hurriedly said, “It’s fine. I can take a cab! I haven’t seen her for a few days, and I really miss her. Besides, Amelia is a member of our family, so it isn’t appropriate for us to bother an outsider all the time, right?”

When Karen saw that Cheyenne was still hesitant, her eyes rolled, and she immediately lowered her head, wiped her eyes, and said tearfully, “Cheyenne, don’t you believe me? After speaking so much with you today, I realized that I haven’t been showing you guys enough concern, so I’m trying to make it up to you as much as possible.

“I’m Amelia’s grandmother, and since I rarely picked her up from kindergarten in the past, I want to perform my duty as her grandmother today!”

Toward the end, tears flowed out of her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

When Cheyenne saw her eyes, she couldn’t help being shocked and extremely guilty.?Mom has really repented. That’s why she wants to treat us better. Yet I still view her in the same light as before. I really shouldn’t have.

“Mom, that’s not what I mean. I just think that… this might be too tiring for you. But since you’re going to pick Amelia up, of course I’ll trust you.”

Cheyenne took her hand and smiled gently. “I’ll have to trouble you to pick up Amelia for me today then! Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Amelia for a few days. I miss her too.”

Karen was overjoyed. “No, it’s not troublesome at all! I’m going to pick Amelia up now!”

Then she hurriedly ran out of the ward, fearing that Cheyenne would regret her decision and go back on her word. On her way out, she even tripped and almost fell because she was too nervous.

Seeing how excited Karen was to pick Amelia up from school, Cheyenne felt touched.

If Karen had changed and wanted to be a good mother and grandmother again, Cheyenne would be willing to treat her nicely again as long as she didn’t go overboard.

Outside the hospital, Karen immediately took out the card in her pocket and then dialed the number on the card.

“Mr. Kingston, it’s me. I’m leaving now to pick up my granddaughter from the kindergarten, so hurry up and send someone to the entrance of the kindergarten. I’ll hand her over to you as soon as I get her.” Karen looked around and lowered her voice, acting like a thief.

“Okay, I’m on my way!”

Only after hanging up the phone did Moses curl his lips and reveal a hideous smile. “Lucas Gray, just you wait! Once your daughter dies too, you will understand my pain! I’ll pay you back double for what you’ve done to me!”

Karen arrived at the entrance of Rainbow Kindergarten.

When she arrived at Rainbow Kindergarten, it happened to be about dismissal time.

There were many parents who had come to pick up their children at the entrance, and they lined up in an orderly manner. They were chatting with each other while looking at the entrance of the kindergarten.

When the bell rang, the kindergarten gates opened, and the children came out in a line, after which their parents flocked to them.

For a while, the entrance of the kindergarten was bustling with cars coming and going.

Karen squeezed into the crowd on her tiptoes and saw her granddaughter standing out among the group of little children. She hurriedly called out to her, “Amelia! Grandma is here to pick you up!”

When Amelia heard Karen’s voice, a trace of surprise appeared on her little face. “Grandma! Are you here to pick me up today? I haven’t seen you for a few days. I missed you so much!”

Although the kindergarten teacher hadn’t seen Karen before, she decided to hand Amelia to her after witnessing their intimate interaction.

After the teacher completed the registration, Amelia immediately jumped to Karen’s side, hugged her leg, tilted her little head, and exclaimed in delight, “Grandma, I’m really glad to see you today!”

Seeing her well-behaved and tender granddaughter hugging her leg, Karen felt a trace of pain flash through her heart. In fact, for a very brief moment, she couldn’t bring herself to hand such a sensible and lovely child to Moses.

But once she thought of what would happen if she broke the agreement, her reluctance immediately vanished.

Even if Amelia was adorable and innocent, she was far less important to Karen than her own life.

She could only blame it on the fact that she had Lucas for her father!

Karen decided to be ruthless and held onto Amelia’s hand. She said to her with a gentle expression, “Amelia, Grandma is also very happy to see you! Your mom and dad have been busy lately, so Grandma will take you to the theme park today, okay?”

Amelia’s eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands. “Yes! Last time Mommy promised to take me, but she was too busy!”

She pouted, seemingly complaining.

Karen smiled. “Since your mom didn’t keep her word, let’s go there and play first. When we get home, I’ll scold your mother for you. How could she break her promise?”

Amelia smiled sweetly. “You’re the best, Grandma! But Mommy treats me really good too. She’s just been busy lately. Don’t scold her, Grandma!”

“Okay, you call the shots.” Karen was just trying to coax her, so she responded perfunctorily.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

While talking to Amelia, she looked around and began to get restless and uneasy.

She had been waiting here for several minutes, and she was puzzled as to why Moses hadn’t shown up yet.

Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, she was now feeling incredibly uncomfortable, as if there were eyes on her back.

Since Moses hadn’t appeared yet, she gradually began to feel uncertain, and she even had a vague, ominous hunch.

Amelia stood in place for a long time. Seeing that Karen wasn’t moving, she was confused and raised her head to ask, “Grandma, why aren’t we leaving yet?”

“What are you rushing me for?! Can’t you see I’m waiting for a car?” Karen suddenly snapped angrily.

Amelia’s body immediately stiffened, startled by the sudden rebuke, and tears instantly appeared in her large eyes. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to.
