Chapter 892

I smiled. "What's bothering you?"

Caroline hesitated for a while before saying, "Just a question, Ma'am. It's going to be National Day

soon. Do you have any plans?"

I realized what was going on at once. She wanted to ask me when the national day holiday was

going to be.

Keith was normally the one who arranged all these things. He was probably so busy lately that he

had forgotten to inform Caroline.

I asked her, "Are you going home for the new year?"

Caroline nodded. "My son and his wife will be going home for the new year. I'd love to go back and

visit them."

"Have you bought the tickets?"

Caroline seemed a little awkward and said, "Not yet. M y son will book them for me after I know

when my break is."

I nodded to show that I understood. "Ask your son to book the ticket now, then. It’ll be harder to

book in two more days."

Caroline's face broke into a grin at once. "Thank you, Mrs. Grant."

After grabbing some snacks from the kitchen fridge, I went to the sofa in the living room to watch

TV.

"Mrs. Grant.” Caroline walked over. "Your phone kept ringing just now.”

I forgot to charge my phone last night and had been charging it in the bedroom when I woke up this

morning.

I grabbed the phone and thought that Theo had given me a call but when I looked at it, it was

actually a bunch of news notifications.

Perhaps it was because it was going to be the new year soon, so all the hashtags were about the

new year. It all looked very festive.

After staring at my phone for half an hour, I switched o n the TV.

It was snowing heavily outside and it was inconvenient to go out, so I could only stay at home. After

a long time had passed, I could not sit still anymore.

I was wondering if I should go and visit Susan when Jerome called.

As soon as I answered the call, Jerome's slightly anxious voice entered my ears. "Where are you?"

I was a little speechless. "At home. Why?”

"Looks like you still don't know." Jerome took a deep breath and continued, "Munchkin went missing

in

South Vasetine."

My mind went blank at once. There was a ringing in m y head and I could not hear anything.

Jerome called out my name several times from the other end of the call but I could not hear him.

Caroline saw me sitting on the floor and rushed over." Are you okay, Mrs. Grant?"

I came back to my senses and grabbed her hand, looking up at her. "Munchkin went missing. He

went missing. How did he go missing?”

I broke down emotionally and tried to stand up from the floor but my legs were extremely wobbly.

They sent me falling to the floor as soon as I stood up.

My phone was still connected, so I brought it to my ear again and wanted to ask Jerome questions.

However, a s soon as I opened my mouth, I realized that I could not find my voice.

"Are you okay, Wanda?" Jerome's anxious voice rang out on the other side.

Caroline was shocked by my reaction and poured me a glass of water. "Have a sip first, Mrs. Grant."

I nodded and took a sip. The water tasted bitter and was hard to swallow.

After a very long time, I found my voice again and asked Jerome with a trembling voice, "You're

joking with me, right, Jerome?"
