In the room, Amanda put her head on the edge of the bed, looking very haggard with tear stains on her face.
Comparing to Amanda, Dolores appeared to be more composed. She sat on the sofa with a calm expression.
They had been arrested in this room since last night, yet those people didn’t offer them anything to eat and didn’t
even give them a drop of water.
After a long while, the door of the room was pushed open.
Amanda suddenly stood up and asked vigilantly, “What do you want to do again?”
The man didn’t say anything. He grabbed Amanda’s arm and pulled her towards the door.
Amanda struggled desperately, “Let go of me! Let go!”
Dolores stood up and said in a cold voice, “Are you bandits? Is this how Dempsey teaches you in usual times?”
When hearing Dempsey’s name, the man seemed to guess Dolores’ identity. He paused hesitantly and then let go
of Amanda.
Amanda shivered all over because of fear and hurriedly hid behind Dolores, grabbing her cloth tightly.
The man said, “Little Young Master is sick and keeps crying. Master Conrad asked us to take her there.”
Amanda was a bit stunned when she heard the words. However, when she prepared to take a step forward and tell
them she would go with them, Dolores grabbed her hand.
Dolores said, “It’s me who has been taking care of the baby. It’s useless even if you take her there.”
The man hesitated, not knowing how to deal with it.
Dolores continued, “Let here stay here and I will go with you.”
“But Master Conrad instructed us to…”
“If he doesn’t agree to it, just let him come to talk with me, oh, as long as he dares to meet me.”
Being oppressed by her aura, the man didn’t dare to disrespect her, “I will ask Master Conrad.”
“Stop.” Dolores said, “Send some food and water here. Offer the three meals on time every day. We’re not your
prisoner.”
The man nodded his head and quickly left.
After his leaving, Dolores closed the door and said to Amanda in a low voice, “You will have to stay alone after I
come there. Be careful. I and the baby are their targets and they won’t do anything to you.”

Amanda grabbed her hand and cried due to extreme anxiety, “Ms. Anderson, I can’t let you go to that dangerous
place. I…”
Dolores said, “Rest assured. I know what I shouldn’t do. The baby is still under their control and I’m his grandma. I
have to go there no matter how dangerous it is.”
“It’s my fault. If not because of me, you would not have been taken to this place.”
“It’s not the right time to blame yourself. We can’t talk about this after leaving here.”
On the other hand, Dempsey knitted his brows tightly when hearing his subordinate’s report. He pondered for a
while and then instructed, “Just do it according to her words.”
his subordinate received the order and left.
Dempsey took a glance at the baby who fell asleep after crying for a long time and then walked out of the backyard
with his crutch.
When the man came back to the house, he brought some food and water.
Dolores simply drank some water as she didn’t have the mood to eat anything. She asked the man to take her to
take care of the baby.
Looking at Dolores’ back, Amanda secretly gritted her teeth. Ms. Anderson was true, no matter what the condition
was, she must leave this place first.
She had to tell Mr. Conrad that Ms. Anderson and the baby were in this place.
Amanda wiped away the tears on her face and began to eat.
She must gather some strength before coming up with an idea to leave this place.
…
Dolores, who had been worrying about the baby since the last light, finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the
baby. She walked over to check Noah’s condition and then asked the babysitters some questions. When making
sure that he just had a fever, she was completely relieved.
Little Noah woke up after a short while. When he opened his eyes and found Dolores was by his side, he simply
pouted his mouth with grievance written all over his face, yet he didn’t cry.
Dolores held him up. The babysitter handed her a feeding bottle, then Dolores put the teat into Noah’s mouth.
Little Noah was so hungry that he grabbed the feeding bottle and sucked the milk eagerly.
Half a bottle of milk was finished soon.
Holding the baby in her arms, Dolores walked around the room. The baby fell into a sound sleep again, grabbing
her cloth tightly.
A babysitter walked over, wanting to take back the baby, “Please give him to me.”
Dolores dodged her hands, furrowed her brows and said in a cold voice, “Don’t touch him.”
The babysitter stepped backwards awkwardly.
When making sure that the baby was sleeping soundly, Dolores put him onto the crib, sat down by the crib. She
didn’t leave again, nor did she allow any Conrads to get close to the baby except for the doctor.

In the black Rolls-Royce, Nathan looked at the photos in his phone and said, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve sorted them out.”
With his eye closed, Clarence replied, “Show her all the photos. If she recognizes the man, try to find that person
and ask him about the exact location.”
“Okay.”
After a short while of silence, Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad made a phone call this afternoon and asked
about your condition. I told her you were at a meeting and dealing with some affairs of the company.”
Clarence slowly opened his eyes, “What else did she say?”
“Nothing specially. Probably she didn’t want to bother you, so she didn’t ask anything.”
“Where’s she now?”
“She came back to her studio this afternoon and is now having a meal with her friend.”
Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together. Several seconds later, he said, “Let them give you a ride to the
company.”
“Okay.”
…
The car was then lowed to a halt and stopped by the roadside.
When Nathan got out of the car, a man immediately walked over and sat on the driver’s seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClarence took out his phone and dialed Stella, yet Stella only answered the call when the ringtone was going to
come to an end.
Stella asked, “Hello?”
It sounded like she was in a noisy yet boisterous place.
Clarence asked slowly, “What are you having now?”
“I, Sherry and Daniel are having hot pot now. Have you finished your work?”
Clarence pressed his temples, “I just finished a meeting.”
Stella asked, “Then when will you come back? If you have to come back late, I can go to your company later.”
It seemed like she just ate something spicy and she panted slightly when speaking.
Even though Clarence couldn’t see her face, he could imagine the expression on her face at the moment.
He curled his lips into a smile, “Don’t bother.”
“Will you get off the work now?”
“Yeah, I will come to find you now.” Clarence looked out of the window, “I also want to have a hot pot.”
Stella immediately replied, “Okay. I will send you the address later and you can come here directly.”
“Okay.”
They then ended the call. Two seconds later, Clarence received a message from Stella.
He closed his eyes. With no expression on his cold face, he looked quite indifferent.
Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the hot pot restaurant.
Clarence’s subordinate said reverently, “Mr. Conrad, we’ve arrived.”
Clarence looked out of the window. When he prepared to get out of the car, he noticed that Stella was sitting by the
window.
It seemed like she was talking with Sherry. Her face turned red because of the spicy food, yet her smile was so
bright and charming. She was brimmed with happiness.
It seemed like he hadn’t seen such a smile on her face for a long time.
Clarence was lost in his thought, seeming to be pondering something.
Several minutes later, his subordinate reminded him again, “Mr. Conrad?”
Clarence sat down again and said in a flat tone, “Let’s go back.”
“Go… Go back to where?”
Clarence replied after a short while of silence, “To the company.”
