"What the heck is going on!” Luna Harris was becoming slightly agitated too. "Joseph abducted Susie and Serenity but refused to negotiate any terms, so what does he want actually?"
"Don’t worry, Mom. They will be fine," consoled Anna Wright softly.
Luna frowned in grief.
All of a sudden, Chesney Shaw began laughing toward Luna from her cot.
Luna could not help laughing upon seeing Chesney swinging her chubby arms and blinking her huge eyes.
She picked up Chesney and played with her for a while. All of a sudden, she became worried once again.
The poor child had yet to find out about the cruelty of this world. She wondered what sort of situation the child’s mother was in now.
"Chessie, don’t grow up so fast." Luna kissed Chesney's cheek.
If the child were to grow up slower, she would be happy and carefree like how she was now for eternity. If she were to grow up and Susie had not returned yet, how pitiful would she be?
At the thought of this, Luna's eyes turned red with grief once again.
Chesney blinked and stretched out a tiny hand that rubbed Luna's face gently as if she was trying to dry Luna's tears.
Luna’s heart softened at once.
She held Chesney cautiously then said, "Julian, Chesney's rash has almost fully healed already. I spoke to the doctor yesterday as well. He said that Chessie has a strong body so her condition has already stabilized now and it shouldn’t be an issue for her to travel by flight. I'm thinking of taking her back t o the Wrights’ home."
"Alright." Julian Shaw nodded and answered, "Let's head back to Skyking City together."
"Hmm." Luna’s expression appeared extremely gentle as she held the baby in her arms.
Luna and the others assumed that Joseph had not proposed any conditions yet.
Jacob Shelby on the other hand was in the know. He could not help asking Julian in secret, "You're most probably going to live with the Wrights when you are i n Skyking City this time. You..."
He had no idea what Julian was planning to do. Could it be that Julian really wanted to take action against George Wright and Oliver Wright?
Julian narrowed his eyes and then he said, "Jacob, from now on, just act as if you don't know the existence of this phone number. Leave what's going to happen next to me, I’ll handle it alone."
"How are you planning to handle it?" Jacob was rather anxious.
He was well aware of Julian's love for Susan Shelby. Jacob absolutely believed that Julian would take action on George and Oliver for Susan.
This was because he would do the same too. If he had t o choose only one between the lives of Susan, George, and Oliver, he would choose Susan without a doubt!
"This matter is not related to you. You will only need t o remember that you don't know about the existence o f this phone number," said Julian.
"Susie is my little sister. I have a right to know what your plan is." Jacob clenched his teeth.
"Susie is my life." Julian looked at Jacob. "I won’t make a decision that will hurt Susie regardless. I hope that you can trust me fully and act as if you are unaware of this matter from now on."
Jacob looked at Julian in all apparent seriousness for a while. After a long time, he said, "I trust you. I promise you that I won't partake in this matter for the time being. However, you must inform me if there's any progress."
"Alright," answered Julian while nodding.
Jacob heaved a sigh but there was a tinge of sorrow in his expression.
What could be done just to break the deadlock? He had no idea at all so he really hoped that Julian could figure out a way.
After going through the discharge formalities, Julian, Jacob, Luna and the others returned to Skyking City right away.
By the time Madam Shaw received the update, Julian and the others had already arrived in Skyking City.
Madam Shaw called up Julian but Julian refused to pick up at all.
