The next morning, Olivia woke up to find Daniel’s side of the bed empty.

All that was left of him was a note.

Daniel had some business to attend to and had already left Cross City.

Without asking any further questions, Olivia finished her breakfast, checked out of the hotel, and then returned to Serene City with Valerie.

Not wanting to attract the attention of Bella Thompson and her gang, and without letting them discover Philip Lee, Daniel and Adam travelled for nearly twenty hours in secret to arrive at the new home of Philip Lee’s son.

Seeing Daniel, Philip Lee had a vague recollection.

“You look quite like Master Michael. Your eyes and eyebrows really resemble your mother.”

Daniel’s piercing eyes bore into Philip Lee as he asked patiently, “The old butler said you’ve seen my mother. Do you know where she is now? Is she well? Did she remarry?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Philip Lee recalled carefully, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Twenty years ago, I saw your mother at the market in Pine Village. It was the only time I’ve ever seen her.

At that time, your mother was holding a little girl about two years old, who was crying out for her mother. The little girl had a crescent-shaped mark on her chin.

I asked your mother if she was her daughter, and your mother said yes. Perhaps, she has remarried. She should be living a fairly comfortable life. After all these years, she’s never appeared. Maybe, she’s really happy and has forgotten all the pain.”

If his mother was truly happy, Daniel would be happy for her as well but, he had a complicated feeling he couldn’t quite put into words.

There was a slightly bitter ache in his heart.

Had his mother really forgotten about him?

Did she really not want him anymore?

Would he never see his mother again in this lifetime?

Adam interrupted, ” Back then, didn’t you ask her where she was living? Did she say anything else? Please think carefully and try to provide us with as many clues as possible.”

Philip Lee shook his head, “She didn’t leave any other message, and she seemed to be in a hurry, as if she was afraid someone might recognize her. She hurriedly left with the child. Perhaps, she wouldn’t stay in Pine Village any longer.”

Daniel pulled out a business card and handed it to Philip Lee.

His hawk-like eyes full of intimidation unwaveringly stared at Philip Lee, “If you remember anything, or hear anything, you can call me anytime. I will reward you generously. Only your family and us two should know about this issue. I don’t want to hear about it from anyone else.”

Philip Lee nodded solemnly, “We promise not to gossip. We won’t mention a word to anyone else. We will keep a sharp lookout.”

Daniel signaled Adam with a glance.

Immediately, Adam put down a paper bag.

Daniel’s deep gaze met Philip Lee’s, “This is what you deserve, and of course, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

In the middle of his surprise, Philip Lee thanked them profusely.

Daniel’s sharp gaze darted around, “In these years, nobody has been looking for you, right?”

“No! Ever since we left Serene City, we’ve been living very cautiously. We try to keep a low profile all the time.”

“Who have you told about you seeing my mother? Who else knows about it?”

“Apart from the old butler, I haven’t mentioned it to anyone else. I won’t utter a word, not until I die.”

“Very good, sorry for the inconvenience!”

As Daniel prepared to leave, Philip Lee personally saw them off.

For the Marshall Family of Serene City, Philip Lee wouldn’t dare to provoke them, let alone stir up trouble. He would definitely keep his mouth shut.

On Friday evening, Olivia took Miss Winter to the airport.

Just as she was about to leave, she unexpectedly saw Daniel and Jay Bennett.

Olivia was taken aback for a moment but didn’t call out to Daniel or greet them, she just watched as Daniel and Jay chatted and laughed while leaving the airport.
