Gwen's eyebrows furrowed when she saw the name on her phone. She looked at Luna and Joshua for a moment and hesitated. After that, she turned and went to the balcony to answer the call.
"Steven." She frowned while looking at the snow and asked, "Did something happen?"
"Yes." Steven paused a while. "I'm home, but…something happened."
"What's wrong?" His voice was obviously tense and anxious. Gwen asked, "Does it have to do with Denise?"
"Yes." Steven sighed over the phone. He sounded tired and helpless. "My parents have locked up Denise."
Gwen was startled. "What about Sean?"
If she remembered correctly, Sean had accompanied Denise back to Steven's house.
"He's locked up too," explained Steven, "but they're not in the same place. When I came back, Sean had escaped. I don't know if he's run off to other places or is hiding in the house, waiting for the time to rescue Denise…
"I think I need your help. Joshua and Luna should have a way to contact Sean. Can you ask them to contact him? I'm scared that he doesn't know the situation in the residence and acted recklessly. It can easily backfire, and my parents can capture him again or even do something to Denise…"
Steven sounded very genuine that Gwen did not know what to say.
After a while, she sighed, "Then…do you know why your parents did it?"
If she was not wrong, Denise and Sean went to Hughes' residence because she wanted to take the adoption certificates and her personal documents. She did not even want to take any of the clothes she bought when she was still the young miss of the Hughes family. All she wanted to take away was the stuff that was related to her identity.
