Lyra Smith always thought her mother's tone was a little strange, as if she knew something. But if she did, how could her mother possibly not ask about it?
After much thinking, Lyra asked: "Mom, are you worried that I was the one who kidnapped Iris Mitchell?"
Kaitlyn Lan said, "Yes."
That simple "yes" caused Lyra's heart to gradually lose its calm. She couldn't help but overthink. Recently, her father was not home, and her mother was always out. Although they always said they were going out for fun, Lyra felt that it was all just a facade.
Something big must have happened, and they were all hiding it from her.
...
During the time Lyra was lost in her thoughts, Kaitlyn Lan had already answered her call. After calling out a few times, Lyra finally snapped back to reality.
"Hello, mom."
Kaitlyn Lan said, "What's wrong? You called and then didn't say anything. Are you trying to scare me to death?"
