Chapter 39
“Yay!”
After changing into casual clothes, I went downstairs with Elena.
I was afraid that Caleb would find us, so I didn’t dare to let Elena eat in the hotel.
I had to take her to another restaurant.
I still felt guilty for leaving her at the hotel without any food, so I bought her an ice cream after dinner.
“Mommy, you’re the best!” Elena’s eyes lit up when I gave her the ice cream.
She planted plenty of ki*ses on my cheek.
“I Love going out with you, Mommy!”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Huh? Why?”
Truth be told, I was confused about this.
Elena was never a dependent girl.
She was always very considerate of me.
Every time I went on a business trip, she would stay with Paula and would never attempt to hide in the trunk of my car before.
I pursed my lips, sensing that Elena was hiding something from me.
“Mommy, didn’t I tell you already?” Elena crossed her arms over her chest.
“I want to find my brother.
” She looked very serious for a five-year-old.
“Brother? What brother?” Her brother passed before he could even see this beautiful, cruel world.
“My Little brother!” Elena insisted.
But before she could explain herself clearly, her eyes drooped sleepily.
I had no choice but to take her back to the hotel first.

On the way back, I saw a sentry stationed at the edge of Roz Town.
Anyone who came in and out had to register into their logs, a rule that was enforced strictly.
I couldn’t help but frown.
It seemed that it be tricky for me to send Elena back to the Xeric Pack, Lest my real identity be found out.
Jesus Christ! What was I supposed to do?
Rubbing my aching temples, I racked my brains for a solution, but it was futile.
In the end, I gave Paula a video call for help.
“Debra! Oh, my God!” As soon as the call connected, Paula’s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Honey, I can’t find Elena! Oh, God! What should I do? I’m so sorry!”
She paced back and forth in front of the sofa, her face crumpled up so tightly as though she was about to cry.
“I’ve been looking for her everywhere, but I can’t find her.
Do you think someone kidnapped her? Oh, God! This is all my fault! I didn’t watch her closely enough.
”
I helplessly showed her the sleepy Elena in my arms.
“Don’t worry.
She’s right here with me.
” I explained with a sigh.
“She snuck into the trunk of my car before I left.
”
“Oh, thank God!” Feeling relieved, Paula sank into the sofa tiredly.
“I was scared out of my wits.
”
