Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Birds Should Come Back

Stephen guarded his mother’s cold and stiff body, and Kade did not even come. At that time, Stephen made up his mind that he would leave the Parker family.

When he grew up, he was not that outstanding among all the kids in the Parker family.

That was because he tried to conceal his excellence and chose to be a teacher.

In fact, not only was he knowledgeable, but he was good at international trading and many other fields.

Kade had been aggressive all his life but had such a weak bookworm as his son, so he naturally gave up on the idea of cultivating Stephen.

Therefore, Kade did not care too much about his news.

In his eyes, Stephen could do nothing after leaving Iceland. With a low salary, he didn’t think that Stephen could even raise the child.

After suffering a lot, Stephen would have to return to Iceland to rely on him.

Therefore, Kade did not think highly of Stephen, but he was interested in Stephen’s wife and her elder brother.

The Lynn family was well-known in Luxembourg. This time, Zachery did not come. It was said that he was not in good health. Originally, Kade wanted to discuss with Zachery how to expand the shipping business.

Therefore, for the sake of the Lynn family, Kade agreed to hold a grand wedding, which showed his respect for Stephen’s wife.

In this way, at least no one in Iceland dared to offend his daughter-in-law.

At that time, Stephen had already washed his hands clean and sat down beside the dining table.

After the maids placed the tableware properly, they retreated, leaving room for them.

Stephen tasted the broccoli and said, "It’s not bad. Have a taste. Just for the baby."

Yvette picked it up and put it into her mouth. She was not in the mood to taste it, but she still ate it for the sake of the baby.

Every time Stephen tasted a dish, he would tell her whether it was good.

Under his persuasion, Yvette ate more than usual.

Seeing that Yvette was almost full, Stephen put down his fork and knife, saying, "After Mr. Wolseley takes the operation, he’s in a good condition, and is now recuperating. I heard that his condition is better than expected."

Hearing it, Yvette did not reply.

But in her heart, she heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good to hear that Lance was fine. It meant that she had done the right thing.

Stephen didn’t try to comfort her. He looked at Yvette and said, "Yvette, you should care about yourself the most now. When you are happy, the baby in your belly can feel it."

Yvette knew that being depressed would indeed affect the baby in her belly.

But she just couldn’t become happy. When she had a video call with Isabel, it was the happiest time of the day.

After so many days, the gifts had been delivered to everyone, but there was still no news of Yvette’s mother.

Marlon left home early and came back late, almost searching every corner of Iceland.

But there was still no clue.

They were all wondering whether it was just a coincidence about the matter of shoocumbac.

But how could it be so coincidental that the person just bought the shoocumbac? As the surveillance showed, the person who bought it was a man with glasses.

But that man was extremely cautious, and not far away from the street, he soon disappeared.

Coupled with the influence of Lance’s leg injury, Yvette had no appetite.

She always felt that she was responsible for Lance’s injury.

It was Yvette who wouldn’t let go of herself, but she did not realize it.

Sometimes, people who were too kind-hearted would harm themselves.

Yvette felt so stressed under all these things.

She also wanted to eat more, but after forcing herself to eat, she would vomit badly.

It was counterproductive.

Yvette even had a feeling of disgust about herself, feeling that she could not raise a child and could not even be a qualified mother.

But she had never told anyone about this.

Marlon and Stephen were busy. She was pregnant, so she couldn’t do anything.

The only thing she could do was not cause trouble for them.

But judging from Stephen’s words, Yvette knew that he must have found something.

She had the eagerness to tell him because she couldn’t bear it anymore.

This was a typical self-saving method.

She knew that something was wrong with her and that she was about to get sick. Therefore, she wanted to save herself.

"Stephen, I’m a little sad. I feel that I can’t do anything. I’m still a burden to others. I don’t even know if I can be a good mother. I don’t have the confidence to educate three children."

Yvette told Stephen what she had been thinking and heaved a long sigh of relief.

She even felt that what Juliette said was right.

Juliette said that Yvette had gradually become a burden.

Only then did Stephen realize that the problem with Yvette might be more serious than he thought.

He and Marlon were busy with their things every day, ignoring that a pregnant woman would become sensitive.

Yvette could only stay in her room and wait for news. In that case, Yvette felt that she had become useless.

"Yvette."

Stephen sat opposite her, held her hands, and looked into her eyes.

He said in a gentle tone, "Yvette, you have already done a good job. Don’t put yourself under pressure. You take care of our emotions and bear so much pressure. You don’t want to cause trouble for us, and at the same time, you have tried your best to take care of yourself.

"See, you have planned everything well, so you must be a good mother.

"Besides, Belle is healthy and cute. Isn’t she the best evidence for you to be a good mother?"

When Stephen mentioned Isabel, Yvette would temporarily put aside those unhappy things and become better.

Stephen was right. Isabel had been taken good care of.

Thinking about it, Yvette felt that it was not so difficult to raise children.

Stephen said in a relaxed voice, "You have to remember that Marlon, Zachery, Belle, me, and many people who love you are looking forward to the arrival of the baby, so don’t worry."

Stephen was a teacher of psychology, and Yvette felt that his words were touching and warm.

After a simple chat, she became better.

"Stephen, thank you. I know what to do."

Yvette was smart and could change her mood in time.

She knew that her current task was to take good care of herself and the child, which was the most important thing to do.

The next day, Stephen told Marlon about Yvette’s condition and reminded him to communicate with Yvette in time for the investigation.

Stephen understood that Marlon did not want Yvette to worry, but she would only think about it if she did not know anything.

Marlon was very anxious when he heard that. He was busy investigating and did not care about Yvette’s mood.

He had been in a mess these days. There was no clue at all.

The gifts that were sent seemed to have disappeared, and he got no response.

Marlon also began to doubt whether their judgment was wrong.

Perhaps that person bought the shoocumbac coincidentally, or maybe Alena had already passed away.

No matter what the truth was, it sounded disappointing.

Marlon then talked to Yvette about the investigation. Although there was no progress, he listened to Stephen’s advice and told Yvette everything.

Hearing it, Yvette was silent for a while and said, "Marlon, can you show me the surveillance footage?"

Because from what she heard now, the only clue was the man with glasses in the surveillance video.

Marlon frowned. He didn’t want Yvette to worry about it since she was pregnant, but it was obvious that this matter had worried Yvette.

He copied the surveillance footage and watched it with Yvette.

He had checked this surveillance more than five hundred times.

He even checked the surveillance cameras many times on the street where the man disappeared.

But there was no clue!

That man had just disappeared suddenly.

It was very puzzling.

Yvette checked the video again and again.

She felt that the man was strange, but she couldn’t tell exactly where the problem was.

Maybe the clothes were a little strange, and there seemed to be high shoulder pads inside his black coat.

The purpose of setting high shoulder pads inside the coat was to make one look stronger.

However, this man looked weak and thin. He was relatively small and looked barely 5.5 feet tall. He looked a little funny by having high shoulder pads inside.

In addition to this, there was nothing suspicious as Marlon said.

However, Yvette did not give up. She continued to watch it many times. At that time, Marlon went out to answer a phone call for almost 30 minutes. When he came back, Yvette was still checking the video, sitting on the sofa with a pillow in her arms.

"Alright."

He walked over and said, "You can check it tomorrow. Be careful with your eyes."

As Marlon spoke, he reached out and was about to close the tablet.

The moment the tablet was pressed down, Yvette suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Marlon paused. Yvette paused the video. On the screen, the man with glasses was standing in front of the wardrobe window for three seconds.

But there was nothing worth paying attention to in the wardrobe window. It was just an ordinary white wall with nothing in it.

Then what was the man doing in these three seconds?

Yvette said, "She’s looking in the mirror!"

Marlon didn’t understand and asked in confusion, "What? Yvette, do you want to look in the mirror?"

"It’s not me. It’s her. She’s looking in the mirror." Yvette pointed at the person in the video and said.

Marlon looked over. He had seen this scene many times but had not found anything strange.

"Marlon, you went in the wrong direction. The one who bought the shoocumbac is not a man, but a woman!"

"How is it possible? A woman?" Marlon was stunned.

The person with glasses disguised herself well. She wore a coat with shoulder pads, high-heeled shoes, and more than one pair of pants to make herself look stronger.

However, her posture in front of the closet window was similar to what women like to do sometimes.

When women walked to a showcase that looked like a mirror, they would unconsciously take a look.

Just now, when Marlon was pressing the tablet down, Yvette noticed that the person was wearing a thin four-leaf-shaped chain around her neck.

That was a very well-known female necklace.

Therefore, Yvette suspected that it was a woman who pretended to be a man.

What Yvette said was something that Marlon had not expected.

He could see that this person was small, but some men were not that tall in Iceland, so he did not expect that it would be a woman.

Now that he heard Yvette’s words, he also felt that this person was a little awkward. The person did look like a woman.

A woman!

Marlon suddenly thought of the intersection where the person disappeared. He had checked the intersection more than a hundred times, and there was indeed a woman in black clothes, looking suspicious.

Marlon suddenly leaned over and hugged Yvette, praising, "Yvette, you helped us a lot!"

Yvette was also very happy. It seemed that they had a new clue about the matter of Alena.

Marlon immediately copied the surveillance footage at the intersection from his phone and continued to check it with Yvette.

This time, without much effort, Yvette recognized that the woman in black was the person with glasses who bought the shoocumbac.

They were certain that this woman was definitely related to Alena.

Otherwise, there was no need for her to disguise herself as a man just to buy a shoocumbac.

At the same time, it also showed that Alena was still alive. Their speculation was right.

Alena was still alive!

Marlon immediately sent this video to a computer expert to extract the face of this woman and then improve the clarity so that he could identify her accurately.

Soon, Marlon got the woman’s face.

He sent the photo to Stephen to investigate. According to Stephen’s influence in Iceland, he could find the whereabouts of the woman quickly.

Sure enough, before it was dark, the news came.

This woman was Samara, the daughter of a doctor called Dr. Platt. She was also a doctor.

Marlon did not agree with Yvette to find this woman personally. After all, she might face unknown dangers.

Yvette also knew that she had a big belly and it was inconvenient to follow Marlon, so she just told Marlon to be careful and not be impulsive when something happened.

After Marlon left, Yvette waited at home anxiously.

At the same time...

In the Beckford’s home...

It was time to treat Alena with a special tool today. Samara was at the door, waiting for Johnathan to let her in.

After Johnathan checked her, he opened the secret door for Samara.

After entering, Samara noticed that Alena was sitting by the bed, embroidering. Alena begged Keith for a long time before he agreed to give her some specially made needles to practice.

These needles were very blunt and could not even be pierced by the tip of the hand.

Therefore, the embroidery didn’t look good.

She did finish it, but it was not delicate. However, it still looked much better than those made by ordinary people because she was good at it.

Samara looked at the content that Alena had embroidered and said, "Mrs. Beckford, it looks so good, but it is not that delicate compared with the one I saw last time."

"Samara, what did you see last time?" Alena suddenly became excited.

Samara smiled and said, "I saw a shoocumbac just like this. And there are two swallows. One is big, and the other is small. There are even some words on it."

Alena’s hand trembled, and she asked with a trembling voice, "What is it?"

Samara replied, "For the good day, the birds should come back."

"For the good day, the birds should come back.

"For the good day, the birds should come back."

Alena repeated it twice.

After that, she did not speak for a long time.

In her memory, a small kid leaned against her knees and called her in a soft voice, "Mom, what are you embroidering?"

Alena explained patiently to the little girl, "I am embroidering swallows. The big one represents a mother, and the little one is the child. Below them is a shoocumbac, which is a herb.

"Together, there is a very moving story behind it. It means that for the good day, the birds should come back."
