Chapter 595: Abducting Alia
Under Karen’s intentional pleasing, she and Cheyenne spent a seemingly harmonious afternoon together.
Seeing that it was already past four o’clock and that Alia was about to be dismissed soon, Karen began to get more and more flustered and nervous.
But once she thought of Moses’s threat earlier, she didn’t dare to hesitate any longer.
“Cheyenne, you have to keep your father company in the hospital every day now, and Charlotte is busy with work too. In that case, I’ll pick up Alia from kindergarten today!
“I haven’t seen Alia for a few days, so I’ll bring her to see your father today. Maybe he’ll wake up after Alia speaks to him,” Karen suddenly said with a smile.
Cheyenne was rather surprised.
Since Karen didn’t know how to drive, she basically wouldn’t take the initiative to pick Alia up from kindergarten in the past.
“Mom, you can’t drive. It won’t be convenient for you to pick her up, will it? Grace has been helping us pick Alia up in the last few days…”
At this mont, an extrely bizarre feeling arose in her heart, but she couldn’t figure out the reason, so she could only say this.
When Karen heard Cheyenne’s refusal, she panicked and hurriedly said, “It’s fine. I can take a cab! I haven’t seen her for a few days, and I really miss her. Besides, Alia is a mber of our family, so it isn’t appropriate for us to bother an outsider all the ti, right?”
When Karen saw that Cheyenne was still hesitant, her eyes rolled, and she imdiately lowered her head, wiped her eyes, and said tearfully, “Cheyenne, don’t you believe ? After speaking so much with you today, I realized that I haven’t been showing you guys enough concern, so I’m trying to make it up to you as much as possible.
“I’m Alia’s grandmother, and since I rarely picked her up from kindergarten in the past, I want to perform my duty as her grandmother today!”
Toward the end, tears flowed out of her eyes and stread down her cheeks.
When Cheyenne saw her eyes, she couldn’t help being shocked and extrely guilty.?Mom has really repented. That’s why she wants to treat us better. Yet I still view her in the sa light as before. I really shouldn’t have.
“Mom, that’s not what I an. I just think that… this might be too tiring for you. But since you’re going to pick Alia up, of course I’ll trust you.”
Cheyenne took her hand and smiled gently. “I’ll have to trouble you to pick up Alia for today then! Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Alia for a few days. I miss her too.”
Karen was overjoyed. “No, it’s not troubleso at all! I’m going to pick Alia up now!”
Then she hurriedly ran out of the ward, fearing that Cheyenne would regret her decision and go back on her word. On her way out, she even tripped and almost fell because she was too nervous.
Seeing how excited Karen was to pick Alia up from school, Cheyenne felt touched.
If Karen had changed and wanted to be a good mother and grandmother again, Cheyenne would be willing to treat her nicely again as long as she didn’t go overboard.

Outside the hospital, Karen imdiately took out the card in her pocket and then dialed the number on the card.
“Mr. Kingston, it’s . I’m leaving now to pick up my granddaughter from the kindergarten, so hurry up and send soone to the entrance of the kindergarten. I’ll hand her over to you as soon as I get her.” Karen looked around and lowered her voice, acting like a thief.
“Okay, I’m on my way!”
Only after hanging up the phone did Moses curl his lips and reveal a hideous smile. “Lucas Gray, just you wait! Once your daughter dies too, you will understand my pain! I’ll pay you back double for what you’ve done to !”

Karen arrived at the entrance of Rainbow Kindergarten.
When she arrived at Rainbow Kindergarten, it happened to be about dismissal ti.
There were many parents who had co to pick up their children at the entrance, and they lined up in an orderly manner. They were chatting with each other while looking at the entrance of the kindergarten.
When the bell rang, the kindergarten gates opened, and the children ca out in a line, after which their parents flocked to them.
For a while, the entrance of the kindergarten was bustling with cars coming and going.
Karen squeezed into the crowd on her tiptoes and saw her granddaughter standing out among the group of little children. She hurriedly called out to her, “Alia! Grandma is here to pick you up!”
When Alia heard Karen’s voice, a trace of surprise appeared on her little face. “Grandma! Are you here to pick up today? I haven’t seen you for a few days. I missed you so much!”
Although the kindergarten teacher hadn’t seen Karen before, she decided to hand Alia to her after witnessing their intimate interaction.
After the teacher completed the registration, Alia imdiately jumped to Karen’s side, hugged her leg, tilted her little head, and exclaid in delight, “Grandma, I’m really glad to see you today!”
Seeing her well-behaved and tender granddaughter hugging her leg, Karen felt a trace of pain flash through her heart. In fact, for a very brief mont, she couldn’t bring herself to hand such a sensible and lovely child to Moses.
But once she thought of what would happen if she broke the agreent, her reluctance imdiately vanished.
Even if Alia was adorable and innocent, she was far less important to Karen than her own life.
She could only bla it on the fact that she had Lucas for her father!
Karen decided to be ruthless and held onto Alia’s hand. She said to her with a gentle expression, “Alia, Grandma is also very happy to see you! Your mom and dad have been busy lately, so Grandma will take you to the the park today, okay?”
Alia’s eyes lit up, and she imdiately clapped her hands. “Yes! Last ti Mommy promised to take , but she was too busy!”
She pouted, seemingly complaining.
Karen smiled. “Since your mom didn’t keep her word, let’s go there and play first. When we get ho, I’ll scold your mother for you. How could she break her promise?”
Alia smiled sweetly. “You’re the best, Grandma! But Mommy treats really good too. She’s just been busy lately. Don’t scold her, Grandma!”
“Okay, you call the shots.” Karen was just trying to coax her, so she responded perfunctorily.
While talking to Alia, she looked around and began to get restless and uneasy.
She had been waiting here for several minutes, and she was puzzled as to why Moses hadn’t shown up yet.
Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, she was now feeling incredibly uncomfortable, as if there were eyes on her back.
Since Moses hadn’t appeared yet, she gradually began to feel uncertain, and she even had a vague, ominous hunch.
Alia stood in place for a long ti. Seeing that Karen wasn’t moving, she was confused and raised her head to ask, “Grandma, why aren’t we leaving yet?”
“What are you rushing for?! Can’t you see I’m waiting for a car?” Karen suddenly snapped angrily.
Alia’s body imdiately stiffened, startled by the sudden rebuke, and tears instantly appeared in her large eyes. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to.
