Chapter 572: Where Is She?

Early next morning, Ryan boards the plane home. Eunice is beside him. Ever since Ryan received the
phone call last night, he seems to have become more sensitive and serious.

Eunice thought that she already knew Ryan after spending so much time with him, but now, it seems
that she is just deceiving herself.

Eunice can't help but recall their hasty encounter in the bar. That woman called Lily truly has a great
influence on Ryan. Matter about her—however small—is enough to drive Ryan crazy.

Eunice has never seen Ryan be like this before.

Something burgeons in her chest. She cannot explain the feeling clearly, so she can only persuade
herself not to think too much.

The plane takes off and then lands. It arrives in J City at exactly 9:30 a.m.

After a nap, Eunice looks out of the window. She feels a little distracted. It is not until the flight
attendant reminds her that she can get off the plane that she regains her senses.

Ryan strides ahead and immediately calls Abby as soon as he exits the customs, "I'm here. Take Adair
to S Hotel."

On the other end of the phone, Abby is a little surprised. She doesn't expect that Ryan really rushes
over without any delay. She replies, "Alright, I'll call you when I get there."

Eunice silently hands over her luggage to the assistant who is waiting at the roadside. After Ryan has
carried all the suitcases into the car, he slowly walks over to Eunice.

Eunice calls out to Ryan hesitantly, "Mr. Ryan, should I—should I go with you?"



"Do you have other plans?"

"No...." She comes back in such a hurry. Naturally, she doesn't have any time to have a plan. She has
already told her mother at the hospital that she is on a business trip. If she rushes back, she may
frighten her mom.

Ryan walks to the front of the car without looking up and says, "Get in the car."

...

They drive towards the hotel. Ryan, who is sitting beside Eunice, does not say a word all the way. The
mood in the car is very subdued. Even the driver and the assistant sitting in front can feel that
something is not right.

After arriving at the hotel, and after the luggage and rooms are arranged, Eunice follows Ryan into a
suite. Ryan specially gets two rooms. After Eunice put her things away, she follows him into the coffee
shop of the hotel.

Ryan has asked the assistant to get them a private room, which the hotel doesn't have many. Shortly
after he takes his seat, Abby arrives with Adair.

As soon as the door is pushed open, a beautiful young woman and a cute and handsome boy appear
in front of Eunice. Eunice is amazed for a moment before she quickly stands up to greet them.

Abby seems to be surprised as well when she sees Eunice, but she quickly calms down. Before she
can say anything, Adair has already broken free from her hand and run towards Ryan.

Adair throws his small body into Ryan's arms. Ryan is completely hit by the little boy, but he doesn't
seem to be unhappy at all. He says, "Do you miss me?"



It sounds truly frightening when Ryan says these words, and it is even more so to Eunice. She has
never seen him treat anyone so gently before.

Adair has been in a low mood over the past few days. Now, his face lights up as he loudly replies,
"Yes!"

Ryan looks at the little boy in front of him. It's been a while since he last saw him, and Adair has grown
a lot taller compared to when he was in England. Ryan says, "You've grown a lot taller."

"I run every day at school. The teachers say that running can make me taller."

Ryan's eyes are filled with pampering as he says, "Well, you have to work hard and grow as tall as
me."

Abby stands at the side and watches the two of them become more and more intimate. She feels a little
bitter and she coughs to interrupt their conversation, "Adair, didn't you say that you were hungry just
now? Come on, get off Ryan and eat something."

The day before yesterday, she went to the amusement park with Adair, but Adair is obviously happier at
this moment. Abby, who is his godmother, cannot help but become jealous.

Only then does Adair gets off Ryan. He fixes his big eyes on Eunice beside him and says politely,
"Hello, Ms. Beautiful~"

No one will dislike such an obedient, sensible, and sweet child. Eunice smiles slightly and replies,
"Hello, handsome boy."

Following the voice, Abby turns to look at Eunice. She seems young—at least much younger than
them. She should be only in her twenties, with a gentle look on her face. She does not seem to be a
scheming person.



Actually, Abby has never shown much interest in strangers. However, this is the first time she has seen
a woman by Ryan's side. She can't help but look at her.

The four of them sit down. There is an indescribable awkwardness at the table. Fortunately, Adair and
Ryan are interacting with each other quite intimately, which more or less eases the others.

Abby and Ryan are not close friends. She only meets him because of Lily. Naturally, she doesn't have
so much to say to him.

Soon, it is noon. Bree calls Abby and asks if she and Adair will come back. Abby glances at the child's
happy face and her heart softens. She says, "We won't go back until after dinner. Adair is having fun,
and maybe he should stay with Ryan for a while longer."

Bree trusts Abby. She believes that the child will be safe with her, so she doesn't say anything else.

"You can go back in the afternoon. Leave the child to me," Ryan says. He is really impolite. Seeing that
their coffee break is near an end, he directly orders Abby to leave.

"Are you sure you can take good care of him?" Abby wants to roll her eyes at him. He is simply kicking
down the ladder!

"I have been taking care of him before he was five. What's the problem?"

"That's right, Abby. Don't worry, Uncle Ryan will take good care of me!" Adair's sudden rebellion makes
Abby very sad.

Fine. Since the child has said so, she has nothing to say.

After Abby has given her repeated warnings, she carries her bag and prepares to leave. Eunice stays
with Adair in the private room, while Ryan follows Abby to the door of the hotel.



It is noon, and the sun is shining brightly, but Abby is somehow nervous. She knows that Ryan has a
question for her. Otherwise, he doesn't have to see her off.

Sure enough, before getting on the car, Ryan asks, "What exactly happened to Lily?"

Just now, they were together with Adair in the private room, so it was hard for him to ask such a
question. Now, only he and Abby are out. There's no need to hide anything anymore.

Abby frowns and lets out a long breath. "Mr. Ryan, I know what you are asking. But actually, I don't
know what happened to Lily. I don't where she is either. All I can tell you is that she is not in the country
now, and she is not in danger."

"If so, why doesn't she come back?" Ryan laughed mockingly, "Do you believe that?"

"So what if I believe it or not? No one knows the truth besides Lily and Rex, but we can't get in touch
with them now. What else can we do except believing?"

She doesn't seem to be pretending. Perhaps she really does not know anything.

However, Ryan has lost contact with Lily all of a sudden, and even Abby—Lily's best friend—has no
idea of her whereabouts. Ryan feels that the matter is only getting worse.

His eyes darkened. No one knows what he is thinking about. He said, "I will find someone to ask about
the situation. If you have any news, Miss Abby, please contact me."
