Chapter 34: I finally found you

Before she could finish her sentence, Zane exclaimed as if he’d seen a ghost.

"Huh? Why is it you again? Miss Morrison, why are you pretending to be Riane now?"

Cecilia was confused.

Zane continued, "Whether you act like a superstar or a cute girl, Mr. Lawrence won’t be interested. This is his restricted area, so you’d better leave now before he gets angry!"

She was speechless.

Fine. Perhaps she was being too forward.

Thinking this, she replied to the person who had emailed her anonymously.

[I’ve arrived at Madam Lawrence’s ward. Send me the location now.]

But after waiting for a while without a reply, she began to wonder if the person behind knew she hadn’t entered the ward.

She glanced at Zane, who was firmly guarding the door.

Forcing her way in wasn’t an option, so she’d have to find another way.

One day later, at the Lawrence family’s mansion.

Steven said to Zane, "Check the surveillance."

In the surveillance room, they were checking the construction site’s footage.

It was raining hard, and there was barely any visible footage. The only thing they could see was Cecilia’s back as she carried something to a clean area.

Steven watched the dazed Cecilia in the footage, his eyebrow furrowing.

Fortunately, she was shielding Alex’s small figure completely in the footage.

"Why is it Miss Morrison again? How did she show up there? Could she be the one behind the missing watch?"

Zane couldn’t help but speculate.

Steven immediately replied, "It’s not her."

Although he hated Cecilia approaching Alex to get close to him, his instincts told him she wouldn’t do such a thing.

"Then how do you explain her being in the footage? From what I see, she could be the one who took the watch and created this accident on purpose to threaten us..."

Zane’s disdainful tone was suddenly interrupted by a clear child’s voice.

"It wasn’t!"

Emma appeared in the surveillance room without anyone noticing. She was pouting, angry that Cecilia was being accused.

"I lost that watch myself! You can’t speak badly of my mommy!"

Zane awkwardly scratched his head upon hearing this.

"So that’s how it was..."

Steven picked up Emma, feeling slightly relieved. For some reason, he found it hard to believe Cecilia would threaten him.

"Has she acted strangely recently in any other way?

Zane thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead. He recalled something.

"Oh, I remember! She somehow came over to the presidential ward while claiming herself to be Riane, but I immediately saw through her lie and drove her away."

Steven was stunned.

A lot of things suddenly clicked into place.

Why did Cecilia return to the country at the same time as Riane? Why did she sing so well on the show? And why did Evan, whose schedule was known as fully booked, suddenly come to Star City? It’s not a secret that Evan was a super fan of Riane.

A bold idea formed in his mind.

Maybe Cecilia was telling the truth!

He stood up instantly. "Let’s go find Cecilia!"

Emma watched her dad rush off, a content smile spreading across her face.

She looked at her brand-new watch and immediately messaged Alex.

[Mission accomplished~]

She quickly received a reply.

[Great job, Sister.]

The story, however, started a few days earlier.

Alex knew Steven would check the surveillance and investigate the watch issue.

After returning from the construction site, he realized his watch was gone.

So, he asked Cecilia to buy him a watch with a phone feature and immediately messaged Emma the whole story.

Not only did Emma’s timely appearance stop Steven’s suspicions, but they also successfully set up a face-to-face meeting between their parents.

[Brother, are you still hurt? Let me blow on it. Mommy says blowing on it will make it stop hurting.]

Emma was very worried about Alex. After hearing about his situation earlier, she had almost cried.

She didn’t know how to treat wounds, but she remembered that’s how Cecilia always comforted her.

[I’m not hurt anymore.]

In the hospital room.

Seeing Emma’s concern, Alex managed a rare smile.

However, it disappeared the moment Bruce came in.

He had been negligent last time, leaving Alex to get into such a terrifying event. He felt incredibly guilty.

Bruce held a cake in one hand and a Barbie doll in the other, smiling at Alex.

They both stared at each other.

"Uh, please put them to the side."

Hearing Cecilia’s words, Bruce placed the items on the table.

"By the way, Cecilia, I didn’t manage to catch the culprit last time. Have you found any leads from your side?"

Cecilia shook her head. She had been staying by her daughter’s side these past few days..She feared that bringing up that day now might stir painful memories for Emma.

"It’s okay, we’ll definitely find the culprit who hurt Emma," Bruce reassured.

Although Alex didn’t know what that person looked like, he was sure he would recognize the woman’s voice if he heard it again.

Moreover, he was already planning to have Emma draw the three people who kidnapped him.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

"You must have been too busy to deal with the hospital fee. Let me go and pay it.

Perhaps sensing Alex’s cold gaze, Bruce felt uneasy. He figured the kid might still be mad at him, and he wanted a chance to make things right.

With that, he hurriedly put down the items and quickly left the room.

"Uh..."

Cecilia didn’t have time to stop him.

The fees hadn’t been paid because she didn’t need to. Ever since she brought Evan to perform surgery on Rick at this hospital, she had a lifetime free pass from the director. All her and her child’s hospital needs were personally handled by the director.

The director had even given her an all-access elevator card, which was why she could access the presidential ward area last time.

Not long after, Steven arrived at Alex’s ward. As he stood before the door, Zane understood and went over to knock.

"Coming."

Thinking Bruce had returned, Cecilia opened the door without hesitation.

Seeing it was Steven, she was surprised and walked out to close the door behind her.

"Mr. Lawrence? Is there something you need?"

"I finally found you, Riane."
