Chapter 419 She Was Not Home
After Damian died, Chandler was the only Livingstone family member present to offer condolences.
He would also send something to Sabrina and her child on special occasions.
“Yuliana, why are you looking for me?”
Chandler did not like to put on a pretense. He guessed that Yuliana had not called him at that time to engage in idle gossip..
“Chandler, can you please go to Sabrina’s house?” Yuliana said anxiously. “Her phone has been turned off. I’m a little worried.”
“Where is Jake?” Chandler asked. “How about calling Jake and asking him? Sabrina is an adult and has no ailments. Don’t worry too much. Maybe her phone is out of battery.”
Chandler was having a good time with his friend playing poker.
“Sabrina’s old enough to take care of herself. There’s nothing to worry about,” he thought.
“Jake transferred schools and went to Juxshire. Sabrina is alone at home. I called her in the afternoon. Her phone was turned off. I just called her again, but it was still turned off. Some time ago, she said that she was in poor health, and now I’m a little worried. Chandler, can you go to her house to have a look?” said Yuliana.
Hearing that, Chandler could no longer refuse.
After all, he borrowed two million dollars from Yuliana at the beginning of the year. He had not paid back yet, and his business had been losing money in the first half of the year. He did not know how
much more money he would need. If he could not afford it, he might have to turn to Yuliana for help.
Thinking of that, Chandler hurriedly replied, “Okay, I’ll check it out right away. Don’t worry. I’ll call you if anything happens.”
“Thank you, Chandler,” Yuliana thanked him.
“We are family. There’s no need to thank me.”
After talking to Chandler on the phone, Yuliana was still restless.
She went upstairs hoping to see Jacob.
After spending several hours with Rowan in the afternoon, Jacob returned to his room to review his lessons and do his homework after dinner.
The room was cleaned up by Hailey two days ago. It was initially vacant. Yuliana knew that Jacob would come by often, so she asked Hailey to clean it up and let Jacob live in it.
Yuliana knocked on the door. After a while, Jacob opened the door.
“Yuliana.”
Yuliana went in and asked, “Have you finished your homework yet?”
Jacob shook his head and said, “Juxshire Middle School’s progress is different from that of my previous school. My current school’s curriculum is taught at a much faster pace, so I have to make up for what I have lacked before. Otherwise, I can’t keep up with the work.”
Yuliana picked up the textbooks and exercise books on the table and looked through them. “Are you adapting just fine?”
Jacob nodded and said proudly, “Although it’s a little difficult, I think I can overcome it.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“I know you are excellent, but if you have any difficulties, do tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself,” Yuliana warned him. Many elementary school students suffered from depression due to various pressures, and in the worst case, they chose to take drastic and terrible actions.
It was good to have some pressure, as it could force people to make progress, but too much pressure would only stifle people.
Jacob said, “Yuliana, I know it. I’m an adult now. Don’t worry. I won’t let you and Mom worry about me.” Hearing that, Yuliana stili felt a little uncomfortable.
Before Damian’s accident, she was not very close to Jacob.
It was mainly her fault.
Jacob liked to play with her. When he was a child, he always called Yuliana sweetly.
If there were anything delicious, he would always keep one for her. He would even keep half of the chocolate given by his teacher in kindergarten.
However, at that time, Yuliana still had resistance to Sabrina and Jacob. Although her attitude was not bad, it was not that good. Most of the time, she was indifferent.
“In retrospect, what wrong did Sabrina and Jacob commit?” she thought.
Yuliana looked at Jacob, who had already shown signs of maturity, and she felt relieved. She thought, “Dad will probably be happy to see that Jacob has grown up so well, right?”
She calmed down and asked, “Jake, did you call Aunt Sabrina today?”
Jacob said, “My mom called me when I left school this morning.”
“What did she say to you?”
Jacob thought for a while and said, “She said a lot. However, I didn’t listen to her words carefully. I was in a hurry when you were waiting for me at the school gate. It seemed that she was telling me that I had to listen to your words and study hard at school.”
Sabrina often said these words.
However, why did Yuliana suddenly ask that question?
Jacob asked, “Yuliana, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
Yuliana shook her head and said, “It’s okay. I’m just asking. Although Aunt Sabrina said these words with good intentions, you have grown up. You don’t have to listen to others, let alone obey me every time. If there is anything you need, you can tell me, and I can give you some suggestions.”
Jacob nodded again.
“You can continue to do your homework. I’ll go out.” Yuliana walked absent-mindedly to the door, took a few steps, suddenly stopped, and reminded, “Don’t study too late. Have a good rest.”
After walking out of the room, Yuliana went downstairs to wait for a while, and Chandler called her.
“Yuliana, Sabrina is not at home!”
“Not at home?” Yuliana was stunned and looked at the time on the wall. It was almost ten o’clock.
Where would Sabrina go if she was not at home?
Seeing that Yuliana did not speak for a long time, Chandler hesitated and asked, “Does she have a good friend? Maybe she’s at her friend’s house?”
His words were euphemistic.
However, Yuliana understood what he was trying to say.
She frowned and said, “Aunt Sabrina is not that kind of person.”
Chandler did not say anything,
However, he felt that Yuliana was too naive.
Damian had been dead for more than a year, and Sabrina was still young. Why would she not find a companion for herself as soon as possible when she was still rather beautiful?
Besides, why did she get Jacob to go to Juxshire to study?
Wasn’t she just afraid that her son would object, thus she wanted to keep him far away?
Chandler sighed and said impatiently, “Why don’t I ask the neighbors around to see if anyone knows about it.”
“Okay Thank you, Chandler.”
Chandler then hung up the phone without saying anything else.
About ten minutes later, Chandler called again.
“I just asked the neighbor. She said that Sabrina went out early in the morning. It’s unclear whether she came back halfway. She also said that Sabrina didn’t go to work a few days ago. She went back home to clean up and took out the pots and pans at home to wash them.”
Although Sabrina had a good temperament, she did not have much contact with the neighbors around her after living with Jacob in Yrinas. At most, she would say hello to them. She would not invite others
to go to her home or visit others’ homes.
Nor did she have any close friends or colleagues.
Therefore, the neighbors were not clear about Sabrina’s situation. They just figured out her routine after a long time, but in recent days, her routine was a little abnormal.
Hearing that, Yuliana became more worried.
