Chapter 1270 “Probably not. Look after the kids and make sure they sleep early. You should sleep early as well.”
Odell pulled a face and stayed silent.
Sylvia bent over and planted a kiss on his lips, then she asked, “Did you hear me?”
He smiled softly. “I got it. Don‘t worry.”
She then exchanged a few words with the children before heading out.
She had only just left the house when Odell turned to the children and commanded sternly, “Go back to your room.
Isabel pouted and complained , “It‘s only eight o‘clock!”
It was nowhere near bedtime yet.
Odell approached her and effortlessly picked her up in one hand, then he carried Flint, who was rolling around on
the floor. At last, he turned to Liam and asked in an authoritative voice, “Liam?” Liam closed the book he was
reading. “Yeah.”

After shutting the door, he instructed Aunt Tonya, “Aunt Tonya, I have something I need to deal with, so I‘ll leave the
children to you.”
Aunt Tonya smiled. “Alright, got it. I‘ll take good care of them.”
Odell nodded, then he grabbed his coat and headed out.
There was an important event going on at the company tonight. He had originally informed his staff that he was not
attending because he wanted to spend time with Sylvia and the children at home since it was the weekend. Now
that Sylvia had left, he figured there was no point staying at home by himself, so he might as well go to the event
and mingle around.
The night was quiet.
There was not much traffic on the way to the confinement center, and it only took less than half an hour for Sylvia
to arrive. The car was parked right outside the entrance to the center. Just as she got out of the car and was about
to head inside, her phone suddenly rang. Aunt Tonya‘s anxious voice rang across the phone,“ Sylvia, this is bad,
Madam Carter is missing!”
Overcome by shock, Sylvia quickly asked, “When did she
go missing?”
Aunt Tonya answered frantically, “I have no idea either. I think she went out by herself shortly after you and Odell
left.”
Sylvia frowned upon hearing this. “Why did Odell leave?” “He mentioned he had something to attend to and left.
Sebastian is already looking for Madam Carter with some of the guards, but there‘s no sign of her yet. Her legs are
frail and her mind is not exactly well either. What if something bad happens to her?” Tonya grew more anxious with
every word she spoke. “Calm down, Aunt Tonya, I‘ll be right back,” Sylvia said and got back into the car. The car
immediately sped down the highway and went back to where it came from.
Meanwhile, there was a shadow lurking a short distance from the confinement center.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was John who was pressed against the wall and sneakily spying on the car that was quickly accelerating in the
opposite direction.
Next to him, Peter asked in a voice filled equally with concern and perplexion, “Why did Mrs. Carter leave in such a
hurry after only just arriving?” “Maybe something came up at home.” John was just as puzzled by this strange
behavior. He was just about to march up to her to confront her and make her bring him
to see Sherry.
Peter asked again, “Sir, what should we do now?”
John glanced at the confinement center. At the entrance were two security guards with devices that would
immediately alert the police at just one click of a button.
Since it was nighttime, there must be more security guards inside , thus trying to force his way inside was a
reckless and suicidal idea.
After a long silence, he decided , “Keep an eye out. We‘ll decide our next move when the sun comes up.”
“Got it.”
Meanwhile, in Sherry‘s ward in the confinement center, she had just fed Caprice when the phone rang.
