CHAPTER 1113 A HAUNTING OF THE PAST

She was the reason why Caleb became a police officer.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't found any information regarding his sister after working so many years in the police force.

Caleb helplessly held the photo in his hand, and he slept another restless night.

The next morning, Caleb opened his eyes when the sun rose, and he realized that he had slept with the photo in his hand all night.

He gently touched the face of the person in the photo with his finger before putting the album back in the drawer.

Then, he got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and went downstairs for a morning run.

He heard cheerful laughter coming from the kitchen right after he went downstairs. He noticed there were mumblings every now and then in the laughter.

Caleb walked toward the kitchen out of curiosity, and he saw Abby helping the cook. She picked the vegetables and communicated with the cook using sign language. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Although Abby couldn't speak, she could still smile and laugh. But, her laughter didn't sound as pleasant as a normal person's.

"Oh, you poor lady. My son is deaf, and I couldn't communicate with him before I learned sign language. That's why I can understand you now."

Apparently, the cook happened to know sign language. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't understand Abby.

Caleb felt touched and relieved as he stood by and listened to their conversation. He turned around and went out for a morning run after that.

An hour later, Caleb returned. Abby was still in the kitchen helping the cook.

So, he went upstairs for a shower before changing into a new set of clothes. He smelled the aroma of scrumptious food coming from the dining room when he got downstairs again.

"Good morning, Cal."

Jimmy was there, and they greeted each other.

"Good morning, Jimmy," Caleb replied.

Then, Jamie and Daisy also came downstairs.

"Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw, Master Shaw, Young Master Shaw, it's time for breakfast," Zoe said.

"Right,"

Daisy responded before looking up at the third floor. "Is she still sleeping?"

Zoe immediately answered, "Are you referring to Miss Wright, Mrs. Shaw? She got up early and went to the kitchen to help with cooking. She's a very diligent and thoughtful lady."

"Is that right?" Daisy's eyes brightened, and she smiled feeling relief.

They went to the dining room and sat down following that. The breakfast on the table appeared visually appealing and delicious.

Just then, Abby came out from the kitchen after she was done helping the cook. She nodded and made a gesture in sign language when she saw them. "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, Jimmy."

Caleb immediately explained, "She's saying 'good morning' to you."

"Why did you get up so early, you silly?" Daisy walked up to Abby, affectionately touched her hand, and continued, "We have a cook for the kitchen work. You don't need to bother yourself. Come, sit down, and let's have breakfast."

"Thank you, Mrs. Shaw. I'm sorry if I have caused trouble." Abby typed it out on her phone and showed it to Daisy.

Daisy only smiled happily. "You're so sweet and polite. Hahaha... It's fine. I always like to have company. You should come over and keep me company whenever you're free. What do you think?"

Abby had been worried about how to get along with the Shaw Family until now. She never expected that they would be so warm and welcoming to her.

She only looked at Caleb as she waited for his approval.

Caleb sat down at the dining table, and he said, "My mother is always fond of guests. You can come over if you're free during weekends."

"That's right. She can easily get bored alone. It would also be doing Caleb a favor if you often keep her company." Jamie knew that Daisy liked Abby and wanted to make up for everything they owed the missing Tracey through Abby.

At least they would feel better that way.

On the other hand, Jimmy had been silent all this while.

In Metric Technology...

Veronica was reading a script at home while Matthew was dealing with company documents at the company in the morning.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the office door before coming in.

It was Thomas who came in. He walked up to Matthew and informed, "The owner of Shepherd Star Group, Eviette Robins, has proposed a collaboration with you, Young Master Matthew."
