Chapter 117

"But I want to see Mommy and talk to her.”

Liam patted her head, "Let's call Mommy.”

“But the baddie took our phone away. He won’t even let Great-grandma, Uncle Ben, or Uncle Jacob lend us their phones.”

"There is one more person whose phone we can borrow.”

Isabel's eyes lit up as she asked, "Whose?”

Liam smirked mischievously. "Dad's."

......

Several hours later, in the middle of the night, two small figures snuck out of the room and crept across the floor on their bare feet. They reach Odell’s room without making a sound.

Liam slowly held the door handle and pulled it down.

Isabel slipped inside like a slippery loach.

When she saw Odell sleeping soundly in bed, she crept to the head of the bed and stole the phone from the bedside table.

She quickly crept out with the prize in hand.

Liam closed the door softly and brought Isabel back to their room. He turned on the phone and took Sylvia’s number off the blacklist. Then, he clicked the dial button.
