Chapter 144

Veronica walked to the park‘s entrance and asked the passersby if they had seen Elizabeth while waiting for Matthew, but her efforts were to no avail.

Around ten minutes later, a sedan car sped to the park like a flash of lightning. Then the car came to a halt in front of Veronica.

After getting out of the car, Matthew walked up to Veronica with a solemn face and questioned, “What‘s going on exactly?”

“Grandma asked me out to the park and chatted a lot with me. She even told me about her Alzheimer‘s disease. She said she has been talking for quite some time, so I wanted to buy some water for her, but she disappeared when I came back.”

Veronica was extremely anxious. “I‘ve asked many passersby in the park, but none has seen Grandma. All I found was her phone.”

 

While explaining, she passed the smartphone in her hand to Matthew.

Matthew took over the phone while maintaining a cool face despite seeing Veronica‘s guilt–stricken and worried look. “You don‘t have to look for Grandma. Just leave.”

 

With that, Matthew turned to get into the car with the phone in his hand and closed the car door with a bang.

Meanwhile, Veronica was startled for a moment as she stood on the spot while watching Matthew leave in his car.

The way he treated her was overly hostile.

Ha! Is he giving me a cold shoulder because he thinks I have no utility value? How can one be this realistic?

Veronica gazed at Matthew‘s car until it disappeared from her sight.

She knew Matthew would definitely use all his power to search for Elizabeth, but she was still worried. So, she continued searching for Elizabeth nearby.

However, it was like looking for a needle in the haystack to find someone among a sea of people.

In between, Veronica called Matthew again and sent him some voice messages. But
