Ingrid immediately shared the hotel address with Lucy. Without wasting a second, the mother and son headed there.

Evelyn had been watching the commotion from afar. When she suddenly heard her name, she thought she had misheard. But when Lucy shouted her name again, Evelyn’s heart sank when she realized they were looking for her.

Just then, a server carrying a tray approached and called out from a distance. “Mrs. Johnson, here is your water, Mrs. Johnson?”

Seeing the front desk struggling to hold Lucy back, Evelyn instinctively returned to

Lucy froze upon hearing the name “Johnson.” She recalled that the man who got Ingrid pregnant had the same last name.

Her eyes narrowed as she shouted at the retreating figure, “Hansel, what are you doing here?”

As expected, Evelyn turned when she heard her sorts are
