After hanging up the phone, | looked out at the dark and gloomy sky. | felt slightly low-spirited.
| was about to return to my room to take a nap when Heidi gavea call.
She sounded like she was in an airport, so | asked," You're back in Salt City?"
"Yeah." Heidi chuckled delightfully. "I'm alone regardless of where | celebrate New Year's anyway, so
| cback to Salt City. | have a hof my own in Salt City."
| chuckled. "You could have cto my house to celebrate New Year's if you were still in Whaldorf City."
"I'm sure you'll be very busy on New Year's. I'd better not go over and give you more trouble."
Heidi moved to a quieter place and continued, "By the way, | saw Xander on my flight."
Xander?
It seemed like a long tsince | last saw him, regardless of in real life or on the internet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Was he alone?” | asked.
"No." Heidi lowered her voice. "He was with Jerome.
Jerwas carrying a child in his arms."
After a pause, she continued, "You might not like to hear this, Miss Wanda, but I really find the two of them
suspicious. They're too close, and it's hard not to think that something is off."
A child?
A thought flashed across my mind. "How old do you think the child in Jerome's arms is?"
“Maybe five or six months old."
Five to six months felt like the right age. | quickly said, "Heidi, can you doa favor? It would be great if you
can locate them at the airport. Can you follow them and see where they're going? If you can't find them, then I'll
give you a contact and you'll locate them with him."
Heidi froze. "I'll try and find them right now."
"Okay."
The last t| called Jerome, he said he was not coming back for New Year's and would only be back at the
beginning of spring. However, he was already back now and even brought Cecilia's child with him.
The question of why Jerand Xander were together aside, why did Cecilia not return hwith her child?
Would a mother split up with her child when the child was still five to six months old?
What exactly happened to Cecilia, then?
The more | thought about it, the more anxious | got. | called Jerome's number.
His phone was switched off. | thought about it and called Xander.
The call quickly connected.
"Where are you, Xander?" | went straight to the point.
Xander froze and replied after a very long time, "I'm in Yogire Nation."
| hung up as soon as he finished speaking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe lied to me.
Why did he lie to me?
| pulled at my hair and gave Heidi a call.
"| found them, Ms. Wanda." Heidi was panting." Consider myself lucky. | couldn't find them at the airport and was
planning to hail a cab and take my luggage hfirst, but | saw them walking out of the airport. | took a photo
and will send it to you right now."
"Okay. Send it toright now."
My Whatnotification tone rang out and | brought the phone away from my ear. | opened Whatto take a
look.
Heidi senta photo of Xander wearing a face mask and a cap, walking on the left of the luggage. There was a
child in his arms. Jerwas walking behind
him, still as handsas ever, though he did look a little weary.
Cecilia was not with them. | quickly tapped on the loudspeaker button on my phone.
