“Ms. Fischer, we can’t let you in. Your current status—”
“I’m not going in!” Willow cut them off.
The crew members were dumbfounded.
Is she not going in? She used to pester Brandon all the time. Why isn’t she going in now?
They could not believe it, but indeed, Willow had left right after saying that. Her gaze was icy as though
she were a different person.
Two hours later, Brandon finally finished his performance and came down from the stage.
Ellie saw that the performance was a big success. She grew a heart and told Brandon that Willow had
come to find him.
“What did you say? She came to find me?”
Brandon, who was removing his makeup, turned to Ellie right away.
Ellie nodded. “Yes, you were rehearsing at that time. I feared people might find out, so I asked her to
leave.”
Ellie’s eyes were tinged with a hint of resentment when she mentioned Willow.
Not only her, but the entire crew, including Brandon himself, had had enough of Willow.
However, today, after hearing what Ellie said, Brandon suddenly grabbed her phone.
He scrolled through her phone and found the text Willow had sent to Ellie. Without hesitation, he took
out his phone and called Ellie.
“The number you have dialed is unavailable.” The robotic voice traveled through the phone.
Did she turn off her phone?
Brandon furrowed his brows slightly.
He checked the phone as he thought he had dialed the wrong number. From what he knew, Willow
would never turn off her phone.
Seeing that the number he dialed was correct, he made another call, but it was the same automated
message that he heard.
What’s going on?
He clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he gave Solomon a call.
“Hello?”
The call went through this time.
Brandon asked right away, “Where’s Willow?”
Willow?
Solomon had picked up Ichika by then, and the two of them had just arrived home. He raised his
eyebrows upon answering the call. “Why would you ask me about Willow? Didn’t she go to find you?”
Brandon replied, “No, I didn’t see her. And please tell her not to find me anymore. I have nothing to do
with her from now on!”
He wanted to hang up the phone after that, but Solomon had finally lost his patience as he said,
“Nothing? How could you say that? She’s pregnant with your child!”
“My child? Don’t you know? That’s not my baby. She told me that she got an IVF just to pester me and
marry me!”
Brandon, too, had lost his calm.
The conversation fell into dead silence.
How could this be?
Solomon was left in utter befuddlement when Brandon hung up on him.
That night, Brandon did not take any action at all. Instead, Solomon was the one who had dispatched
everyone from SteelFort to look for Willow.
However, after searching through every possible location throughout the night, Willow was still nowhere
to be found.
She had disappeared without any sign.
By the time Sasha heard the news and came from Jadeborough, it was already three days later.
As soon as she touched down, she went looking for Willow.
Unfortunately, two months had passed. Still, no one had seen Willow.
Her baby should be born by then.
Sasha had drained all of her energy to search for Willow.
Sebastian was pissed upon seeing that, but he could only comfort her. “All right. Stop worrying about
her. She’s not a kid. It’s been two months already. Maybe she’s hiding somewhere to give birth to the
child.”
His gaze was utterly gloomy as he spoke.
Not only Solomon, but even Sebastian had failed to track down Willow during these two months.
It was as though she had vanished into thin air.
Sasha had slimmed down a lot, and her face looked extremely pale.
“Where could she possibly hide? Her parents are not around anymore. And she’s been alone all those
years in Clear. There’s nowhere for her to go.”
Sasha’s eyes swelled with tears as she spoke.
Sebastian felt heartbroken.
Just when his mood was at its worst, someone came in.
“Sir, there are two cops outside. They’re here for Mrs. Hayes.”
Sasha lifted her head in confusion.
Sebastian had no clue what was happening as well.
A few minutes later, the two cops came into the living room and handed a photo to Sasha.
“Mrs. Hayes, do you know this woman?”
“Huh?”
Sasha took the photo hesitantly.
As her gaze shifted toward the photo, her entire body froze.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Hayes. This woman died at the psychiatric hospital. The person in charge found out
later that she was not a patient of the hospital. I heard that she suffered from severe depression, but
she didn’t take the medication to protect her baby. Later, when she gave birth, she experienced serious
hallucinations, and she cut her belly open with a scalpel and took out the baby.”
Upon saying that, the cop passed over a report.
Sebastian was stunned by then, too.
The woman in the photo was none other than Willow.
Thud!
Sasha fainted right away and collapsed to the floor.
