Thompson left the ward with the three kids. Randy's eyes lit up when he noticed that the smart watch had a signal again.
He immediately called Carla, but her phone was switched off.
With his brows furrowed, Randy gave a try again. Yet, it was still the same.
"Randy, Mommy's phone is still uncontactable. Do you think she's too tired and has dozed off?" Josh moved over in his wheelchair. "How about we go home and tell her?"
"I agree with you." Randy nodded. "Looks like that's the only way.""Mr. Thompson will accompany you home."
Thompson made a gesture with his hand, and the three nurses carried the kids respectively into the car.
The kids were excited as the car headed towards Happy Avenue.
Just then, Laila's phone rang abruptly and she answered the call at once. In a split second, her expression changed as she asked nervously, "Is Ms. Wigston all right?"
Upon hearing his Mommy's name, Josh turned pale and asked anxiously, "What happened to Mommy?"
Laila shook her head at them as she continued to talk on the phone, "Alright. I got it."
After hanging up the phone, she quickly reported, "It's the call from the property management office. According to them, the elevator of our apartment building broke down this afternoon and straight away fell from the sixteenth floor…"
"Ah…" Upon hearing her words, Venus panicked and burst into tears; her cheeks flushed red in an instant.
"How about my Mommy?" Josh grabbed hold of Laila's hands and asked again in anxiety, "Anything happened to Mommy?"
"No, no…" Laila shook her head at once.
"Josh, Venus, calm down. Let Laila finish her words." Randy comforted his siblings and asked apprehensively, "Was Mommy in that elevator?"
"Try to calm down and speak clearly. Don't scare them, " Thompson chimed in.
"Yes, Mr Thompson." Laila took a deep breath and explained, "Ms. Wigston was not in that elevator, but one of her friends was in there. Fortunately, it was stuck at level three and didn't go all the way down to the bottom. The one inside the elevator passed out and was immediately rushed to the hospital. They're all fine and only sustained minor injuries."
"What a relief that their Mommy was not in that elevator. Good to hear that the others are fine, too."
Thompson heaved a sigh of relief and recalled Zayn's reminder instinctively. Perhaps Mr. Zayn could foresee something bad would befall the kids and their mother? So that's why he assigned me to bring them along with me?
Anyway, these three kids and their Mommy have been leading a simple and peaceful life. It's impossible that they are on bad terms with anyone. I really wonder who has the heart to put them at risk.
No matter what, the kids' safety is the top priority. I must ensure they are well protected all the time. If anything happens to them, Mr. Giblo would not let me off easily when he regains consciousness.
After pondering for a while, Thompson consoled the three kids, "Children, it's not safe to go home at the moment. Let's just stay temporarily at Mr. Jombo's place. I'll get people to fetch your Mommy as well. Don't worry about her."
"Looks like this is the only way now." Randy tried to call his Mommy again, yet still could not get through. He knitted his brows and said nervously, "Mr. Thompson, I'm worried that Mommy is in danger. Can you please get someone to look for her?"
"Sure, no problem." Thompson asked, "What's your Mommy's name? I'll get people to look for her now."
"My…"
"My Mommy's name is Carla Wigston!" Venus cut in even before Randy could complete his sentence.
Still holding the phone, Thompson's hand stiffened instantaneously. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Venus stiffly and stuttered, "Y-your…her name is Carla Wigston?"
"Yeah…" Venus nodded and replied honestly, "My Mommy has a beautiful name, right? I can spell out her name for you…C-h-a-r-l-o-t-t-e, and ‘Wigston' ends with a ‘t'."
"Eh…" Thompson was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized why Zayn was behaving weirdly lately.
Now I know why Mr. Zayn eagerly sent the three children home, took them to Fairytale Land to meet Mr. Giblo and assigned me to take good care of them…
No wonder…Carla Wigston is their Mommy!
"Mr. Thompson, are you all right?"
Randy looked at Thompson uneasily. He was actually hesitating whether to tell him their Mommy's name, as she had reminded them not to reveal her identity to anyone.
Yet her name just slipped out from Venus's mouth when he was still hesitating…
Anyway, under this extreme circumstance, Mommy's safety is the most important!
We have no choice but to mention her name. I hope Mommy will understand and won't be angry.
