Chapter 1159
Cooper decided not to go and stayed by Amanda's side instead.
Steven subsequently dropped by.
It was just as Cooper had imagined. There were no surveillance cameras in the stairwell, while the one beside the
freight elevator had been shut off. There was just no way they could find Amanda's kidnappers.
Steven asked softly, “If they really wanted to hurt Mandy, why did they take the trouble to throw her into the freight
elevator?”
Cooper was just as confused as Steven was.
He would rather believe that a mentally unsound patient had accidentally run into Amanda and locked her in the
freight elevator as a prank.
If the perpetrator had ill intentions, they could have made a move when Amanda was in the stairwell, and she
would have lost her life.
Once Amanda had gotten enough sleep, Cooper helped her get changed.
Sally, who had been standing outside the ward, stood at attention and looked at Cooper when the latter emerged

Unfortunately, Cooper didn't spare her a glance as he walked past her with Amanda in his arms.
“Aunt Sally.” Leaning against Cooper's shoulder, Amanda turned around to look at Sally. “We're going over to my
aunt's place for a meal. Why don't you come with us?”
“She'll be eating somewhere else. There's no need to worry about her,” Cooper flatly replied as he quickened his
pace.
Watching them enter the elevator, Sally couldn't help but feel unsettled.
She didn't blame Cooper for being angry at her, for she had indeed made a mistake. If they hadn't searched the
freight elevator, Amanda would have died in there without anyone knowing.
After failing to protect Genevieve, she had now let Cooper down a second time.
Meanwhile, as everyone had to take turns taking care of Herbert, all of them stayed at the Zeigler residence.
Even though many in the family were married, few of them had kids.
Thus, when the adorable and sweet-smiling Amanda arrived, she brightened up the mood in the home instantly.
Even though members of the Zeigler family knew about what had happened with Armand and Genevieve, all of
them acted normally in front of the two children.
By the time dinner was over, it was already past eight. Cooper and two children subsequently spent the night there.
The weather was beautiful the next day, and Cooper remembered that Amanda had wanted to go to Disneyland.
Therefore, he planned to get Steven to go with them after breakfast.
However, Amanda suggested, “Mr. Sullivan has to take care of Granddad at the hospital. Why don't you get Aunt
Sally to come with us instead?”
“In that case, we'll just get Mr. Sullivan to switch with Uncle Yu van,” Cooper replied.
“But I want Aunt Sally to come with us.” Amanda tugged his hand and shook it. “It has already been one night,
Uncle Cooper.
Stop being angry at Aunt Sally. It really isn't her fault.”
Cooper stared intently at her. “I'm your real uncle. Why are you siding with an outsider?”
“She's not an outsider. She's my aunt.” Amanda added, “Even if she's at fault, I forgive her. Will that do? Uncle
Cooper, it would make me happy if you invited Aunt Sally to join us. How about that?”
Amanda, proficient at acting cute, stared at Cooper with her big innocent eyes. They were capable of melting
anyone's heart and dissipating the anger one harbored.
Having no choice but to relent, Cooper gave Sally a call and told her to wait at the subway station.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce they had breakfast, the Zeigler family driver sent the few of them there.
The moment Amanda saw Sally standing outside the subway station, she struggled free from Cooper's arms and
dashed toward the latter, calling out to Sally with the sweetest of voices.
Sally knelt down and picked her up before saying softly, “I'm sorry.”
“It's all right. Not like it's your fault.” Amanda waved her hand. Then, she held Sally's hand as she skipped joyfully
into the subway station.
Since it was the school holidays and there was a direct train from Baykeep to Xedells, they arrived at Disneyland to
be greeted by a huge crowd.
As Lucian had bought VIP tickets online, they managed to get in easily and barely needed to queue for the rides.
When Amanda saw a shooting hoops game where she could win the stuffed bunny, StellaLou, she went to join the
queue with the others in tow.
Thereafter, she bought a bunch of balls for Sally. “Aunt Sally, you have to win StellaLou for me!”
Ever since he saw Sally at the subway station, Cooper wore a scowl on his face. If Amanda hadn't insisted that she
joined them on their trip to Disneyland, he had no intention of seeing her at all.
Even when they were at Disneyland, he barely said a word to her.
Therefore, when Amanda requested Sally shoot hoops on her behalf, Cooper asked with a frown, “Why didn't you
get me to help you?”
