This news was truly not good, and everyone was surprised.

Heinz was also shocked. Did she not want her child because of another man?

How could she abandon her child and her exboyfriend for the sake of a man? This woman was just too cruel.

Heinz looked at Zachary with a worried gaze. He saw that his face had turned cold and his whole body was tense and stiff. His appearance could make people shudder with just one glance. Lester noticed Zachary's expression and felt that he broke the news a little too direct.

He looked at him with a concerned gaze.

After a long silence, Zachary, whose lips were pressed into a thin line, spoke up, "Where did she go?"

"The United States," Lester answered.

"Tell us everything," Heinz turned anxiously as he looked at Lester who took his time to speak.

"Hurry up and explain everything to Mr. Lowe." "Yes, of course." Lester replied quickly, "That gentleman's name is Fabian Trevino. We haven't found anything on his background yet." "How can he have a chartered plane without any background?" Heinz said in a low voice, "How long is their visa to the United States for? How long is Yvonne's visa valid for?" "According to Officer Charm's investigation at the customs, Miss Attwood has a Green Card. The flight they took is heading for New York. She may be staying there permanently." "She actually has a green card," Zachary repeated once again as he was taken aback.

It was only then that he realized that he did not know Yvonne at all nor did he understand her.

Just how many secrets did she still have with her?

Right at this time, his phone rang.

Zachary picked up the phone and saw that it was his subordinate who called.

"Mr. Lowe, Miss Yvonne Attwood rented an apartment in Northern City for a one year period. Two hours ago, I called the real-estate agency to ask about subletting it." "Rent it," Zachary said in a deep voice, "Send me the address."

"Yes!"

Shortly after, Zachary received the address on his mobile phone.

He then went and brought Maria out.

Heinz sent both of them out and was very worried about Zachary. "Are you alright? Do you want me to go with you?" Zachary shook his head.

Heinz could only let him do what he needed to do.

After he left, Grace asked Heinz with concern, "Zachary left in such a hurry. What happened? What did Lester say to you?" "Yvonne went to the United States with a man and booked a chartered plane. Your cousin is in a really bad mood now." "Then why aren't you following him?" She was also surprised to hear the news. "I was wondering why he looked so bad." "Grace. I can't help with this kind of thing." He sighed and said, "There are some things that have to be done by the man himself." Although she knew that his words made sense, she was still worried. "I really hope that their family can reunite."

"If it's fate's way, then they would stay together," he said softly.

After leaving the Jones family home, Zachary took

Maria over to Yvonne's apartment.

It was not until they opened the door to the apartment after Zachary's subordinate handed him the key did Maria suddenly call out, "Huh? This is my home. This is mine and Mommy's home." Zachary's heart squeezed a little, and he held his daughter's hand tightly.

"It hurts!" Maria immediately shouted, "Daddy, my hand hurts."

He quickly loosened his grip, squatted down, and looked at his daughter. "Here, this is you and your mommy's house?"

"Yes." Maria pointed to the room's decoration and said, "Look, that's Mommy's slippers, mine, and Mommy's bags. These are all mommy's things."

Zachary got up and looked around the house. He indeed saw some signs of someone living here before.

These were traces left behind by Yvonne and Maria when they lived here.

"Daddy, come in." Maria brought him in and sat on the sofa.

The living room was clean and neat. It looked like the owner would come back at any time, and it didn't seem to be abandoned.

He was just surprised to replace that Yvonne would just sublet it just like that.

He took a look around the house and Maria then shouted, "Mommy, I'm back."

Zachary's heart tightened.

Maria ran to the bedroom. "Where are you, Mommy?"

However, no matter how many times she called out, there was no answer from her mommy.

Maria started to get anxious and pushed open the bedroom door. The room was quiet, and there was no sign of her mommy.

Once again, she pushed open the door to another room. It was her mommy's study room. There was no one there either.

She then stood still, her small body trembling slightly. Her shoulders slumped down, and her small lips were tightly pressed close together. Her eyes were full of sadness and stubbornness. Though tears glistened her eyes, she did not shed any tears.

She looked very strong.

Zachary looked into the bedroom. The room was clean and spotless, and there was a big and a small pillow on the bed.

They were all pink. It looked warm, lovely, and full of girlishness.

The study room was also neat and tidy, and there were books as well. There was a photo on the table. It was a photo of Yvonne and Maria together. They smiled sweetly in the photo. "Mommy doesn't want me anymore," Maria finally said with a sob. Her voice sounded so sad that it could break people's hearts easily.

Zachary couldn't help but feel his heart wrench again. He squatted down again and looked at his daughter.

Seeing that the child's eyes were full of tears, his heart was broken in an instant.

Yvonne Attwood!

"How heartless she is," he thought to himself

He held the child in his arms and said softly, "Maria, Daddy's here."

"Mommy really doesn't want me anymore. She's not scaring me. Daddy, Mommy is serious this time." Maria shook her head and desperately held back her tears.

"No." He shook his head and said, "Look, she didn't throw away anything here. That means that she will come back."

"Is it? Really?" She was suspicious.

"Of course she will." In truth, Zachary was not sure whether Yvonne would come back or not, but he knew that he would not just let her go like this.

If she didn't come back, he would replace her.

"Maria, why don't you follow me back? We can stay at our house and come back here again after a few days." Zachary was worried that Maria would be sad if she stayed here and thought about how her mommy wasn't around anymore.

"Then, what if Mommy comes back and she can't replace me?" Maria asked again.

"That won't happen," Zachary said, "Your mommy knows where your kindergarten is and Aunt Grace's phone number. She will contact us."

"Oh." Maria nodded.

Just as they were leaving, Zachary turned around one last time. His gaze fell on a pendant that was hung at the back of the study room's door.

At a glance, it was obvious that the pendant had been there for a long time.

It looked old, but it was still in good condition. Somehow the pendant looked familiar to him.

He reached out his hand and touched the pendant with trembling hands. The hand-made pendant was of a couple, and they were snuggled up to each other.

Maria said, "Daddy, Mommy will bring this wherever she goes."

Upon hearing this, Zachary looked at his daughter and could not help but feel pain in his heart.

At that moment, his heart felt as if it was being stabbed again and again. The pain in his heart could suffocate him.

Yvonne, if you left me, why do you still have the pendant we made together?
