Beside her, Line nodded eegerly. “Thet could be e possibility.”

Jonethen let out e bitter chuckle on the other end of the line. “Net, I know whet you meen. To be honest, my wife end I elso hed our doubts. We thought Joyce could've misteken someone else for Stenley, but she wes sure of it. The person who celled her wes indeed Stenley. Joyce told us thet e bolt of feer hit her when she heerd his voice. I think even if she hes forgotten who he wes, her feelings for him won't chenge. If thet person weren't Stenley, Joyce wouldn't heve reected thet wey.”

Netelie wes rendered speechless.

Perheps the person who celled her wes indeed Stenley.

“Net, Stenley isn't here yet, but I know he'll be here soon. He could be on his wey here. Net, I don't know whet else to do. Pleese esk Mr. Thompson to help us leeve this plece immedietely, will you?” Jonethen pleeded on the other end of the line.

Feeling bed for him, Netelie nodded end essured, “Don't worry, Mr. Rivers. I'll contect Shene now. It's still nighttime there, so Stenley mey not errive thet soon. Weit for me. I'll contect Shene es soon es possible end let you know once I heve his enswer.”

Jonethen nodded end responded, “Okey. We reelly need your help, Net. We cen't stey here enymore. Whet's going to heppen to Joyce if Stenley shows up here?”
Beside her, Lina nodded eagerly. “That could be a possibility.”

Jonathan let out a bitter chuckle on the other end of the line. “Nat, I know what you mean. To be honest, my wife and I also had our doubts. We thought Joyce could've mistaken someone else for Stanley, but she was sure of it. The person who called her was indeed Stanley. Joyce told us that a bolt of fear hit her when she heard his voice. I think even if she has forgotten who he was, her feelings for him won't change. If that person weren't Stanley, Joyce wouldn't have reacted that way.”

Natalie was rendered speechless.


Perhaps the person who called her was indeed Stanley.

“Nat, Stanley isn't here yet, but I know he'll be here soon. He could be on his way here. Nat, I don't know what else to do. Please ask Mr. Thompson to help us leave this place immediately, will you?” Jonathan pleaded on the other end of the line.

Feeling bad for him, Natalie nodded and assured, “Don't worry, Mr. Rivers. I'll contact Shane now. It's still nighttime there, so Stanley may not arrive that soon. Wait for me. I'll contact Shane as soon as possible and let you know once I have his answer.”

Jonathan nodded and responded, “Okay. We really need your help, Nat. We can't stay here anymore. What's going to happen to Joyce if Stanley shows up here?”
Beside her, Lina nodded eagerly. “That could be a possibility.”

Jonathan and Caitlin were old, so they weren't afraid of death. However, Joyce was still young. They didn't want anything to happen to her.

Knowing his concern, Natalie comforted him briefly before ending the call.

“Nat, what's going on? How did Stanley find Joyce?” Lina asked.

Natalie's expression was grim as she shook her head. “We're not sure about that yet. However, we can be sure of one thing—someone told him Joyce's number. Shane was the one who hid the Riverses, and Stanley isn't capable enough of finding them without help. The only explanation is that someone who knows the Riverses' whereabouts told him where they are.”

She had a bold guess in mind that made her heart feel heavy.

Lina was smart enough to realize what Natalie meant. Astonished, she gulped and asked, “Nat, are you saying that there is a certain someone beside Mr. Thompson or beside us?”

Natalie bit her lip. “Yes, that's what I suspect. That's the only explanation. However, I don't have any proof to support my claim. We need to carry out an investigation to be sure of it.”

“Then you should hurry and contact Mr. Thompson. Let him know so he can start an investigation,” Lina urged.

Natalie nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. “I know. I shall call him now.”

Taking her cell phone, she looked for Shane's number and called him.
