Chapter 1615
In Hannah’s mind, a figure materialized so suddenly that it sent a shiver of excitement through her trembling hands.
Could it really be the one, the person who might have perished in a raging inferno, the same person Zavier had failed to find for two long years?
She yearned to step closer for a better look, but the fear of facing a disappointing outcome froze her in place. Rooted to the spot, she stared at the slender, familiar
silhouette.
Casey followed Hannah’s gaze and also noticed the delicate figure. “Hey Hannah, what’s so fascinating about that person?”
Casey’s voice snapped Hannah back to reality. Quickly averting her eyes as if nothing had happened, she said, “Nothing, let’s head back.”
After a few steps, Hannah couldn’t resist glancing back again. She still felt convinced that the silhouette belonged to someone she knew. “Casey, hand me my phone, please.”
Casey promptly fished out the phone and passed it to Hannah.e2
Hannah unlocked the device, opened WhatsApp, and scrolled to Cornelia’s chat. [Cornelia, I saw someone. Their profile looks so much like Skyler, but I’m scared it’s not her. I didn’t dare to approach.]
After typing the message, Hannah hesitated before sending it.
Zavier had always suspected that Cornelia and Marcus were hiding Skyler, so there was a good chance he was monitoring Cornelia’s phone. Sending this message might tip him off. After a moment’s indecision, Hannah deleted the text and wrote something else. [Cornelia, I’m missing you and my godson.]
It was their code. If Cornelia remembered, she would come to confirm.
Soon enough, Cornelia replied, [It’s perfect timing, I’m not swamped with work. I’ll bring my son over to visit your set.]
Hannah responded, [Great, I’ll be waiting for you and my godson.]
After sending the message, Hannah looked back once more, her heart filled with hope that the person was indeed Skyler.
Cornelia moved quickly. She arrived that very evening.
Hannah gave her driver and assistant the slip and drove to the airport herself to pick up Cornelia. “Didn’t bring my godson along?”/
Cornelia smiled. “That little guy is super attached to his dad. I couldn’t bring him by myself.”
Hannah teased, “Look at you, you’re the mom who’s not close to her son.”
Cornelia defended herself. “I’ve been busy with work, and Marcus spends more time with him. Plus, Marcus worries it’s too tiring for me to take care of our son alone. If I insisted on bringing him, Marcus would have come too.”
Hannah acknowledged, “Your man really takes good care of you.”
Cornelia retorted, “Yours is no different.”
Hannah hesitated, “Cornelia…”
Cornelia, sensing what Hannah was about to discuss, tossed her phone onto the car seat and pulled Hannah a few meters away, asking urgently, “Did you get news about Skyler?”
Hannah nodded. “Today, while we were shooting in a village, I saw a woman. Her figure looked so much like Skyler, but I didn’t dare to confirm. I was afraid of scaring her away if it wasn’t her.
“But I’ve already asked the village kids around. The timeline of the ‘Ms. Skye who came here to teach lines up with when Skyler disappeared. I think it’s very likely that Skye is the Skyler we’ve been looking for…”
Cornelia agreed, “Hannah, you did the right thing. We don’t know if Skyler wants to be found, and we can’t just barge into her life.”
