Chapter 89

A hint of loneliness flashed across that face full of jokes, but quickly disappeared. He opened the top of his convertible, turned to the woman who wouldn’t stop talking and said, “Audrey, let’s leave it at that, don’t make me hate you.”

Upon hearing him, Audrey’s face darkened. Without waiting for Bailey, who just came out of the library and hadn’t got in the car yet, Jason quickly stepped on the gas and the red sports car sped away

At Elm Street, Allison and Daisy found a restaurant to have lunch

The restaurant was run by a middle-aged woman who was very friendly When she brought over their meat sauce noodles, Allison asked, “Ma’am, do you know where I can buy cakes nearby?”

“Cakes? There are plenty of places around here, especially at night, there’s even a night market on the next street.”

The lady enthusiastically explained, “Just a bit north from our shop, there’s an old cake shop, but you’ll have to line up at this time of the day. That shop, it’s the most popular one on Elm Street.”

Wait in line?

Allison guessed it’s probably not that one. Although she was blindfolded that day, the bodyguard who went to buy the cake returned very quickly. It should have been a quick purchase, probably not a place with a long line.

“Thank you, ma’am”

Daisy was a bit puzzled, “You suddenly want to eat dessert? We can go buy some later”

Elm Street is an old district in Northfield

The street is close to a middle school, and there are quite a few students coming and going during meal times. When Allison and Daisy came out of the restaurant, they saw the cake shop the lady had mentioned

Daisy said, “Is it this one? I’ll go line up.”

Allison quickly stopped her, “It’s okay, let’s check out other shops”

“Right, there’s too many people in line.”

Without giving it much thought, Daisy pulled her along to find another cake shop.

After hesitating for a moment, Allison stopped, “Daisy, actually I’m looking for a cake for my mom.”

“Your mom? Isn’t your mom in the hospital?”

Allison shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears uncontrollably as she detailed how Lean had taken her mother away.

With all the pressure from recent events, she felt like she had found an outlet, and tears started to fall.

But she left out the part about replacing Penelope and getting an abortion.

After hearing the story, Daisy was both shocked and angry. “That’s illegal! How could Lean do such a thing!”

“Every time I visit my mom, they blindfold me, but I’ve calculated the time of the car ride. It should be this street, 1 just don’t know which hospital she’s in now.”

Daisy lightly held Allison’s hand, “I accompany you, let’s find it together.”

The two of them walked around Elm Street again, finally reaching a middle school at the next street of Elm Street.

A man around his sixties or seventies was selling things at the school gate, with a sign saying “Handmade Cakes. He seemed to have just arrived and was setting up his stall. Allison walked over and said, “Sir, I have a piece”

A kind old man handed over a piece of cake with a smile. Allison took a bite.

It wasn’t sweet, but rich in milk flavor.

This is il

Allison’s eyes lit up, she looked around at the environment, the school, residential buildings, convenience store.

“Sir, do you know if there are any hospitals nearby?”

Allison thought of Grace’s hospital room equipment, which was a standard care room, not a makeshift one. She had checked out several famous big hospitals in Northfield, but the interior design didn’t match.

However, Northfield has many small hospitals, the range is too wide.
