Hearing the revelation, the three little guys were momentarily stunned, but then they felt relieved.
“No wonder she woke up and kicked us out of the ward when she saw the woman surnamed Bentley. Now it makes sense,” Zane commented with crossed arms.
“Indeed, fortunately, she’s not really Mummy,” Zachary Warner added.
Zoe remained calm, continuing to play with the robot in her hands.
Observing their composed expressions, Dreak wondered if he had not explained the situation. clearly. He needed to make them understand that the person on the hospital bed was not their real Mummy, but their mother had gone missing.
“You’re not worried about Mummy at all?” Dreak couldn’t help but ask.
The three little guys turned to look at him in unison, then averted their gazes.
Zane spoke up, “Isn’t Daddy going abroad to find Mummy soon? There’s nothing to worry about, right?”
“But I haven’t found any news about your Mummy yet,” Dreak said, rubbing his forehead. He didn’t know how to respond to the three little ones‘ mature behavior.
Zoe looked up at Dreak from her robot and gestured, urging him to stay strong.
“Daddy, don’t keep Mummy waiting too long this time,” Zachary Warner added.
“You guys really aren’t worried about Mummy?” Dreak still seemed puzzled.
“We are worried, but what can we do? We can’t find Mummy, so all we can do is hope Daddy works harder to bring her back,” Zane explained slowly.
In the end, Dreak didn’t say anything more. He advised the three little ones to stay in the villa during this time and not to run around. After packing his things, he headed to the airport.
After Dreak left, the three little ones gathered at the door, wearing worried expressions.
“I wonder how long it will take for Daddy to bring Mummy back this time,” Zachary Warner wondered aloud.
“I hope it won’t be long. I miss Mommy,” Zoe softly expressed her feelings.
Of course, the three little ones were concerned about Mummy’s safety, but they pretended not to show it to ease Daddy’s worries. Deep down, they were anxious for Mummy to return safely.
As soon as Dreak left, the three little ones couldn’t hide their worries. They were genuinely concerned about Mummy’s safety.
Upon arriving at Annie’s location, Dreak rang the doorbell. Annie’s mother opened the door and was pleasantly surprised to see him. She warmly welcomed him inside and called for Annie.
“Annie, come quickly. Mr Warner is here to see you.”
Annie, who was in the room, heard her mother’s call and walked out. She was stunned when she saw Dreak at the door.
Dreak’s gaze fell on Annie’s lap, and the atmosphere became tense. It was Mildred who broke the
Chapter 329
silence.
“Annie, what are you waiting for? Mr Warner is here to see you. Aren’t you happy?”
Annie’s face stiffened, and she instructed her mother to make some tea. Mildred, not understanding the awkwardness between the two, obeyed and went to the kitchen.
Dreak finally took his gaze away from Annie’s lap and looked at her after a long pause.
“Where’s Jane?” he asked, the topic of Jane still on his mind.
“We haven’t seen each other for so long, and you’re asking about other women as soon as we meet? Isn’t that a bit much?” Annie responded, trying to deflect the conversation.
Dreak’s emotions were on edge, and seeing Annie still refusing to give any information, his face grew
colder.
“The last time, I haven’t done anything to you. If you don’t want to tell me about Jane’s whereabouts, then I won’t be kind to you anymore.” His threat was clear in his tone.
The last time, Jane had hinted to Dreak that Annie might be involved in something suspicious. However, since Annie had already left the country and was no longer disturbing their lives, he didn’t want to dwell on the matter between Annie and the Reincarnation Path.
“Be kind? Dreak, do you think you’ve been kind to me?” Annie sneered at his words, staring at him with a complex expression and a hint of grief in her eyes.
Dreak avoided her gaze, not interested in engaging in a conversation with her.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t tell me, then I’ll have to resort to other methods,” Dreak warned, attempting to pressure her into revealing information.
Unfazed, Annie slowly approached him, challenging his threats. “Other methods? What extraordinary means do you want to use against me? Will you treat me the same way you treated Jane?”
“Dreak, I really don’t understand. How can you mention kindness? From the moment Jane reappeared, everything you’ve done to me is considered kindness!”
“You promised me a wedding and a future together. It’s one thing if you didn’t keep it, but as soon as Jane showed up, you immediately ignored me. I’m curious, is Jane a brainless fool?”
“You’ve hurt her so much in the past. Why would she forgive you and stay by your side?”
“And you, you used to despise her so much. Why, after she disappeared for a few years, did you fall in love with her? Can you explain that to me?”
Annie had wanted to ask these questions for a long time. She felt that she had caused Jane enough suffering, yet she couldn’t seem to come between the two of them.
“I’m the one who hurt her… As for you, you destroyed this relationship,” Dreak retorted coldly.
“I loved you deeply when we were young. I even did things to hurt her for your sake, but you never
cherished it.”
“You always claimed that you left for me, but what’s the truth? Are you brave enough to tell me the truth?” Dreak’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Annie.
Not long ago, William had informed him about Annie’s health condition. He had discovered that her uterus was damaged by someone associated with the Reincarnation Path. Dreak had asked a

foreign doctor for a second opinion, and they found that not only was her uterus missing, but her ovaries also had issues.
This revelation contradicted everything Annie had previously told him, which meant that she had been lying all along.
