Chapter 510 Finding Aunt Sadie.

This actually made Dawnugh. She nced at him in surprise. “I thought you really disliked him. Looks like I misunderstood?”
Mason’s expression was calm. “I’m just stating an objective fact. It has nothing to do with whether I have an opinion about him.
“Besides…”
He looked at the woman across from him. “You wouldn’t decide whether to be with him based on my opinion anyway.”
“Yeah.”
Dawn nodded. “You’re right.”
She wasn’t someone who dragged others into her emotions. She didn’t even know what was
wrong
with her today.
Was it because of the pregnancy?
Dawn took a deep breath and put down her fork.
“I’m done eating. Let’s go.”
Their purpose foring here was to see Sadie, so they drove toward the apartmentplex where she lived.
When they arrived, Mason got out first to check things out. He came back and said, “Ms. West, the security guard says she’s not home right now. We might have to wait.”
“Then we’ll wait.”
Dawn swept her gaze around the area. “But my aunt is really keeping a low profile.”
It was clearly an old neighborhood–elderly people sat by the roadside chatting to pass the time, and through the fence, children could be seen running around wildly inside.
Sadie hated noise the most. So was she living here because of financial constraints, or because she was hiding from someone?
The Swansons‘ assets hadn’t all been seized, so…

Obviously, it was thetter.

Dawn tapped lightly on the car window with one hand, her eyes alert as she watched the surroundings. After some time, she finally spotted a familiar figure.
“She’s here.”
She pushed open the door and walked quickly to Sadie’s side.
“Aunt Sadie, long time no see.”
Sadie hadn’t expected to see her here. She paused for only a moment before quickening her pace. “Aunt? I don’t know you!”
“If you don’t know me, then do you know Cindy Swanson?” Dawn stood where she was, looking at her back, and said evenly, “I just met with Cindy. She asked me to pass a message to you.”
Sadie’s steps halted. After a long while, she finally turned around.
The conflicted look on her face twisted into a knot. “You… what do
you
want?”
Dawn smiled. “Why don’t we go inside and talk?”
At this point, there was no room to refuse.
Sadie brought Dawn upstairs.
Unlike the extravagant life she used to live, the ce she stayed in now didn’t even have an elevator. The walls were stered with all kinds of advertisements.
Sixth floor.
Sadie took out her keys and nced at the man behind them.
“Only you cane in.”
Mason frowned slightly, but Dawn said, “Wait for me outside.”
“Ms. West…” Not knowing Sadie’s current situation, Mason wasn’t at ease letting Dawn go alone.

Dawn shot him a look and said casually, “If you’re bored, just walk around.”
“Sure.”

Once inside, there were only two pairs of everyday shoes on the simple shoe rack.

Sadie opened the cab next to it, took out a new pair of slippers, and tossed them onto the floor. “The ce is a bit messy. Bear with it.”
“Thank you.”
Dawn changed her shoes and looked around the apartment.
A very small two–bedroom unit–you could take in the entireyout at a nce. It didn’t look like anyone else lived there.
As for Sadie, in just that short span of time, the panic on her face had faded. She went into the kitchen and calmly poured a ss of water, setting it on the coffee table.
“I know you didn’te looking for me because of Cindy. Go on, what do you want to know?”
Dawn withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly.
“What do you know?”
Sadie pressed her lips together, her fixed stare locked on Dawn, as if to say, <i>Even </i><i>if </i>I know <i>something</i>, <i>I </i><i>won’t </i><i>tell </i><i>you</i>.
“I used to think you were heartless. The moment something happened to Uncle Lucas, you couldn’t wait to grab the money and run. You didn’t even care about your own daughter… But aftering here, I realized something.”
Dawn looked at her with a light, steady gaze, each word clear.
“You’re not someone who doesn’t love her daughter. On the contrary, you love her too much.”
That was why she hid herself away in this small ce, living a secluded life of in meals and istion.
“You thought that by doing this, no one would go looking for Cindy, and if you were lucky, you might even avoid disaster yourself. That just makes me even more curious…”
Dawn slowly lifted the cup of water. The y cup was old, and the doodles on its surface were already faded.
She didn’t drink. She just stared at the worn patterns and spoke slowly. “What exactly do you know? The people behind all this haven’t even found you yet, and you’re already so afraid that you’d rather cocoon yourself and hide away. Aren’t you afraid of trapping yourself instead?”

Sadie didn’t speak.

* Free Coins.
She wasn’t wearing any makeup, which made every change in her expression even more obvious.
Paleness. Panic. All of it shed across her face.
Dawn let all expression drain away from her face, her voice turning heavy. “The reason Uncle Lucas took everything upon himself back then was because he was threatened, right? Then tell me, Aunt Sadie, in this world, who is truly safe? And would that person really let you go<i>?</i>”
