Chapter 518: 518 Mend The Relationships



As soon as Alvin left, Mark directed Liam inside the police station to complete the process. He instructed Liam as they got closer to the captain of the case, "Mr. Matthews, let the cops do their work. Don't mention what my boss told you." The least they wanted was to cause trouble for Anya who was on a life-threatening mission.

Liam glanced at Mark. He was worried thinking he caused problems for Anya who was said to be resigned. He silently agreed to avoid causing another trouble for them.

Giving his statement and lodging the cases on kidnapping, and assault, Liam went to the waiting area to witness another episode. Lilian was holding Ivy away and staring at Casper in front of her. What left Liam in shock was, Casper had stretched his arms like he wanted to carry Ivy.

Matthews had become the selling point for the media. Thus the mere presence of two brothers and a daughter-in-law was enough to cause chaos. 

The supermarket manager and customers who had witnessed the kidnap had given interviews to the media company. Thus the kidnapping of Ivy became the new trending news.

As soon as Casper learned about it from the PR, he just rushed up to the police station. The accusing gaze of his daughter-in-law was like a slap of reality. Thus he was baffled by his actions.

Every nerve of Liam wanted to assume Casper put on a show to get them back to the mansion, but he clenched his teeth and asked Mark, "Was he behind the kidnapping?" 

Liam disliked how he had to doubt his father and judge him. He was willing to do it for the safety of his daughter.

Mark was surprised by his sight too. He never heard Casper worrying about any living Matthews but his reputation. He could see Casper was panicked hence he rushed up to the police station. Nevertheless, he promptly answered to Liam, "He wasn't." Whereas their first suspicion was Casper.

Liam oddly felt relieved by that news. He strode to them and Lilian rushed up to him. "Liam…" She pointed her finger at Casper, "He must have done this to get you back to work." She spoke her mind and accused Casper. 

Considering Casper's actions, she might not be able to even be compassionate if Casper meets with a real accident and fights between life and death.

Casper: "…"

He had no hand in the kidnap. He was well aware Liam will end up doing something to him if he touches Ivy with any ill intention. And this time, he had no plan to bring Liam back.

Ignoring Lilian's words, Casper solemnly commanded them, "Get her to the hospital. Run all the examinations." He meant Ivy. The kidnappers could have fed her something or Ivy might fall ill due to cold or fear.

Upon hearing Casper's words, Lilian looked at her daughter who was swaddled leaving just her flushed face visible. She touched Ivy's cheeks and her eyes immediately widened, "Liam, Ivy is burning. We need to rush to the hospital." She hurried him.

Liam involuntarily took a step with her but stopped her when he looked at Casper. The first time his father ever attempted to carry Ivy. Taking his daughter into his arms, he gave her to Casper. Lilian panicked, Mark furrowed, and Casper froze.

It was the first time Casper was carrying a baby. Ridiculously, Casper was a father of two and grandfather of two. Liam held on to his wife who wanted to take Ivy away. He wanted to see how Casper reacts after holding his grandchild. 

He snickered seeing Casper afraid to move a finger while staring at the flushed tiny face of Ivy. Casper didn't get to experience the joy of being a father. Liam hoped the brief experience could show what Casper had missed all these years.

"Dad, taking care of children isn't troublesome or a waste of time. It's a responsibility to provide therapy to see them happy and relieved when they get tired and doze off in our arms." He proudly voiced his experience.

Lilian looked at Liam in bewilderment. What was her husband doing?

The previous time, she suggested returning to the Matthews mansion so they could care for Cordelia and Casper. After learning that it was an act, she didn't want to go back to the control of Casper Matthews.

She clutched Liam's arm and vigorously shook her head, denying him if he was making any such decision without talking with her. 

With a sigh, Liam rubbed her head, shaking his head in resignation. He would rather live a simple, insignificant life than give control of their life to Casper's hands. And it was too late for Casper to change. 

Liam's voice hardened when he looked back at Casper, "You will never get to live that." He let go of Lilian who quickly carried Ivy to her arms.

Casper: "…"

Mark chose to drive their car. They headed to the hospital first after talking with Doctor Benson.

Stunned, the lady secretary looked at three leaving with the baby. She turned back to Casper who was trying to compose his indifference. It couldn't be his first experience, could it? She wondered.

Unaware of what Casper has done to his family, she sincerely suggested to redeem, "Chairman Matthews, it is never too late to fix the issues and mend the relationships." 

Casper began his autocracy as if he wasn't least bit affected, "Find out how Ivy Matthews is doing." Then he strode inside. 

The lady secretary: "…"

'There is no saving for this man,' She thought.

Casper was about to demand the captain and the chief of Police to get to the bottom of the kidnap, the latter spoke in a hurry, "Chairman Matthews, we are doing the work. We have orders from higher up." 

Then the chief of police instructed the captain to interrogate the four men and went for the press conference to silence the media and take the credit for Anya's quick actions. 

Casper was smart to deduce Anya was behind it because only she could make the cops ignore him like a fly in the air.

In a private jet,

Anya was waiting for the airtime for the chartered flight when she got to know there was a private jet flying to country F. She approached the movie team and requested if she could join them as she was heading there alone in another chartered plane.

Fortunately, they agreed more quickly than she expected. She silently sat in the single seat without disturbing the other members. In contrast, those members were peeping at her as her face looked rather familiar.

The twelve-hour flight was exhausting. She managed to grab a good amount of sleep as she wasn't sure what was waiting for her after landing in a different country.

….

At Johnson headquarters,

Miles heard his secretary update him that Alvin and Anya Owen returned to the Oasis mansion. Liam, Lilian, and the baby reached the Oasis estate after visiting the hospital. The cops were doing an investigation to find out who sent the money for four men to kidnap the baby.

Shouldn't Anya investigate and find her way to him?

Miles shifted uneasily in his seat without understanding how everything was so smooth. Are they overreacting? 

Because they assumed Anya was joining the university on a mission to catch him. Whereas Casper was against Anya and Alvin and hurriedly appointed a foreigner as a dean. Then the rumors died down.

Although the theft in his office was suspicious, they had no clue to confirm Anya or anybody was trying to catch him.

He instructed his secretary, "Tell those men to send the pictures and videos from tomorrow." As far as he observed, Anya personally goes to drop off and pick up her son from school as she didn't have a job. He wanted to see proof of Anya being in Narnia.

He wasn't going to proceed with the plan if he didn't confirm Anya's location. With that decision, Miles left his office for a good night's sleep.
