Chapter 399 The Little Swan

“Dora, is that you?”

Sierra glanced at Johnathan and quickly put the phone on speaker. Johnathan immediately called Mateo, getting his words in before Mateo could even start swearing:

“Track a number for me. 13…”

“Yes, right now. It’s Dora!”

Sierra was trembling with emotion, but she didn’t forget to remind:

“Dora, I don’t know where you are or how you got the phone. But right now, you have to protect yourself. Don’t let anyone find out, okay?”

“Okay!”

Came Dora’s soft, weak reply on the other end:

“Ms. Sierra, I miss you so much… It hurts…”

Maybe it was because she knew her ‘mom’ had completely fallen out with Johnathan, but Dora didn’t hold back anymore. The pain was unbearable, and all she wanted was to hear Sierra tell her a story.

Only Sierra and Johnathan had ever told her stories. She didn’t like the ones Johnathan told-his were boring, and he was too scary. She liked Sierra’s stories the most.

Sierra’s heart ached.
