Knowing how perceptive Nn was, Jared felt somewhat resigned but knew he couldn''t tell the truth at
this moment. He could only say, "Doretta came because of something else. I have to go to the airport
now and leave with Mommy. Well be back soon." "Oh, okay," Nn agreed, but it didn''t seem like
Jared had convinced him.
It looked more like he didn''t want to waste time, saying, "Then go find Mommy." "Mm." Gently touching
Nn''s head, Jared said meaningfully, "Take good care of your sister, and don''t leave the sight of
adults."
Looking at Jared, Nn bit his lip and finally nodded. "I know."
Although the specifics of the situation were unclear to him, Nn could tell that Jared''s exnation
was an oversimplification. He also grasped that Jared''s reference to "adults" wasn''t limited to Gloria
and Daniel, but included the security personnel stationed near their kindergarten, tasked with their
protection.
Nn was deeply concerned, suspecting something significant had urred. However, he didn''t want
his worry to distract Jared, so he offered his support, "Lana and I will be good, Daddy. You should go."
He restrained himself from asking further questions, aware that doing so might reveal his suspicions to
Jared. Thus, he chose to maintain the facade of unawareness.
Jared exchanged a significant nce with Nn, appreciating his son''s maturity before leaving with a
heart a bit lighter.
Jared suspected Nn might have picked up on more than he let on.
However, seeing Nn''sposed behavior, Jared felt reassured that Nn would patiently wait for
his and Nicole''s return, alleviating any immediate concerns Jared might have had.
Watching Jared leave, Gloria turned to Daniel with a worried expression." What should we do?"
Even though Jared hadn''t exined anything, merely leaving Nn and Lana in their care, she could
sense something was amiss. She thought,1 Nicole said she would stayte at the office to finish some
work, then she didn''te home at all, and Doretta showed up instead. After a while, Doretta left, and
Jared said he had to leave the country...''
Daniel''s expression darkened as he said, "We''ll take good care of Nn and Lana. Let''s leave the rest
to them." He knew they couldn''t help much at this moment; ensuring the children had nothing to worry
about was their way of assisting.
Gloria looked at Nn and Lana, then hugged the little ones close, thinking, ''Right, we''ll take care of
Nn and Lana, so Jared and Nicole can focus on what they need to do.''
Soon, a helicopter ascended, leaving San Joto. By the time itnded in Mecrounia, daylight was
breaking.
Charlie, having received the message, had been waiting for some time.
"Mr. Johnston." As Jared and Doretta disembarked, Charlie approached.
"How is it?" Jared''s voice was icy.
"We''ve sent people to investigate, but there''s no news about Mrs. Johnston yet," Charlie responded.
Upon receiving Jared''s message, he had ordered his people to monitor Lawrence''s base for any
activity. However, they hadn''t yet located Nicole.
"I''ve also arranged for our people to search. I believe we''ll have results soon," Doretta said with a
determined look. "If Nicole told US toe here, she must be here." "Mm, and Lawrence probably
doesn''t have anywhere else to go," Jared added. After all, Lawrence was cornered with no escape.
Charlie raised a point of concern, touching on something they all worried about, "Mr. Johnston,
regarding Nn and Lana..."
Given the recent events, the safety of Nn and Lana was at the forefront of their minds. If Lawrence
had managed to capture Nicole, it raised legitimate concerns about the children''s safety.
Jared responded with unwavering resolve, "Max will look after them." His tone and the look in his eyes
conveyed a fierce determination. The protection of Nn and Lana was paramount, and Jared was
committed to ensuring their safety, leaving no room forpromise or second chances.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
