Chapter 952 Hiding From Place to Place

When he heard the sound, Steven raised his heels and put his weight on his toes as his feet moved slowly towards the door.

He turned the door knob carefully without making any sound. As an extra measure, he peeked through the slightly open door and made sure that no one was outside. This seemed like a good opportunity for him to leave, but he decided to bide for his time. Instead, he walked back inside.

Once he was inside the bathroom, he climbed the bathtub, balanced his weight on its edge, and took a small screw knife from his pocket. After that, he proceeded to quietly remove the ventilator window using the knife. His forehead was beaded with sweat by the time he finished. Smirking triumphantly, he put his packed backpack on the space where the ventilator window was originally placed.

At that very moment, Steven heard the front door open. As he listened intently, someone was walking towards the direction of his room.

Gary was determined to return home immediately. He was worried sick about his son, and he wanted to check up on him as soon as possible. Once he arrived, he went straight to Steven's room.

Upon noticing that no one was guarding outside Steven's room, he flew into a rage. Feeling panicked, he shouted for help, "Where is security? Where is everybody? !"

Gary continued to yell for help as he rushed towards Steven's room. He threw the door open and ran inside quickly.

"Steven?"

Gary frantically scanned the room. When he saw Steven sitting on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, did you think I still had the strength to escape, weak as I am?" Steven said in a low voice as he gazed at him feebly.

"Steven, don't be so stubborn. You know me. No one can change my decision once I have made up my mind," Gary replied in a firm voice.

Confident that Steven wouldn't be able to leave, Gary turned around and walked out of the room.

Watching his father's receding figure, Steven was finally able to breathe more easily.

That night, time passed by slowly for Steven as he waited for the perfect opportunity to accomplish his plan.

The next morning

"Mr. Su!" One of the servants cried frantically as he ran towards this master. "Mr. Su! Bad news!" The servant panted heavily as he informed Gary of his discovery. "Both Steven and Victor are gone!"

Gary just got up from bed. When he heard the servant's report, he ran to Steven's bedroom without even changing from his night clothes.

When he saw the empty room, he suddenly had trouble breathing properly. Dizzy from shock, he almost fell forward. Fortunately, a servant caught him.

"Mr. Su, please sit here. I'll send someone to look for Steven!" The servant said hurriedly and was about to leave.

'This was strange', the servant thought to himself. Last night, he clearly saw Steven in his room. How could he disappear all of a sudden?

Gary waved his hand to stop the servant from leaving. He looke

erred from one place to another last night, so naturally they got wet in the rain.

Carla and Carol were younger and in good health, but Andrea was much older. Moreover, she was used to a comfortable and luxurious life. Surely, this was too much for her.

On their way to Yu Sea City, they had stayed on a ship for a whole day and one night. Right after they disembarked, they had to transfer from place to place amidst the never ending rain. The accumulated fatigue and cumbersome weather made Andrea catch a cold.

At first, Andrea didn't want Carla to know about her cold. Although she tried her best to put up with the symptoms, her condition was found out eventually when she almost passed out while moving to another place.

"No, I can't let it go on like this. When will this end?"

Carla clenched her fists in anger. Her grandmother had specifically forbidden them from entering the city and even asked Lucia to take charge of this.

So she had no choice but to hide herself and try to find a chance to enter the palace.

"Mrs. An, calm down. You know that Lucia is out there to get your head. I'm afraid that she is taking advantage of her position to take revenge on you."

Carol tried to comfort Carla even if she was worried as well. If it was another person in charge, Carol wouldn't be worried at all. However, considering the previous conflict between Carla and Lucia, it was very likely that Lucia would make a big fuss.

"But we can't just stay here. My mother has never suffered like this. She's already sick. I don't know how much longer she can hold on like this,"

Carla bit her lips to stop her tears from coming out.

Andrea had left Yu Sea City more than 30 years ago. Unlike Carrie, she wasn't used to the climate here anymore.

If it went on like this, her body would surely be unable to bear it.

"Carol, I'm going to see my grandfather!"

Carla said firmly. Her eyes were shining bright with determination.
