Chapter 208 A Glimmer of Hope Amidst Despair

I realized I had been here for a while when the sunset. Still, I saw no one around. I wondered if they planned to leave me here to die. If so, it could be Celine because my disappearance would solve all her problems.

However, that would be excessive for a defenseless woman like me.

On the other hand, it didn’t seem like Matthew’s style. Even if it were him, his motive would be questionable. I grew increasingly frustrated but couldn’t understand it.

My hope lessened as the night grew darker. If my phone call hadn’t raised suspicions, someone at the daycare would have noticed my absence and contacted someone. They might even call Atlas to take Ava home.

After all, Ava got into Sunnydale with Atlas’s help.

I felt slightly at ease with that thought. However, my heart ached when I imagined Ava longing for me. I never expected to end up here and bring suffering to my daughter. I thanked my lucky stars my parents weren’t around to see this. Otherwise, my father’s life would be at risk.
