The Woman From Hell
Chapter 507

Chapter 507

After hanging up the phone, I looked out at the dark and gloomy sky. I felt slightly low-spirited.

I was about to return to my room to take a nap when Heidi gave me a call.

She sounded like she was in an airport, so I asked," You're back in Salt City?"

"Yeah." Heidi chuckled delightfully. "I'm alone regardless of where I celebrate New Year's anyway,so

I came back to Salt City. I have a home of my own in Salt City."

I chuckled. "You could have come to my house to celebrate New Year's if you were still in WhaldorfCity."

"I'm sure you’ll be very busy on New Year's. I'd better not go over and give you more trouble."

Heidi moved to a quieter place and continued, "By the way, I saw Xander on my flight."

Xander?

It seemed like a long time since I last saw him, regardless of in real life or on the internet.

"Was he alone?” I asked.

"No." Heidi lowered her voice. "He was with Jerome.

Jerome was carrying a child in his arms."

After a pause, she continued, "You might not like to hear this, Miss Wanda, but I really replace the twoof them suspicious. They're too close, and it's hard not to think that something is off."

A child?

A thought flashed across my mind. "How old do you think the child in Jerome's arms is?"

“Maybe five or six months old."

Five to six months felt like the right age. I quickly said, "Heidi, can you do me a favor? It would begreat if you can locate them at the airport. Can you follow them and see where they're going? If youcan't replace them, then I'll give you a contact and you'll locate them with him."

Heidi froze. "I’ll try and replace them right now."

"Okay."

The last time I called Jerome, he said he was not coming back for New Year's and would only beback at the beginning of spring. However, he was already back now and even brought Cecilia's childwith him.

The question of why Jerome and Xander were together aside, why did Cecilia not return home withher child?

Would a mother split up with her child when the child was still five to six months old?

What exactly happened to Cecilia, then?

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I got. I called Jerome's number.

His phone was switched off. I thought about it and called Xander.

The call quickly connected.

"Where are you, Xander?" I went straight to the point.

Xander froze and replied after a very long time, "I'm in Yogire Nation."

I hung up as soon as he finished speaking.

He lied to me.

Why did he lie to me?

I pulled at my hair and gave Heidi a call.

"I found them, Ms. Wanda." Heidi was panting." Consider myself lucky. I couldn't replace them at theairport and was planning to hail a cab and take my luggage home first, but I saw them walking outof the airport. I took a photo and will send it to you right now."

"Okay. Send it to me right now."

My WhatsApp notification tone rang out and I brought the phone away from my ear. I openedWhatsApp to take a look.

Heidi sent me a photo of Xander wearing a face mask and a cap, walking on the left of the luggage.There was a child in his arms. Jerome was walking behind

him, still as handsome as ever, though he did look a little weary.

Cecilia was not with them. I quickly tapped on the loudspeaker button on my phone.
