Chapter: 1822
“That's her," the principal identified Jennie immediately.

The police nodded their heads and continued to trace Jennie's movements. They observed her walking to a station and boarding a bus.

The police turned their attention to the bus, reviewing the video footage from every station.

After the bus made a few stops, Jennie alighted. A few minutes later, she boarded another bus.

"Wondering where she might be heading?" the principal mused aloud, eyes glued to the monitor.

A sense of relief washed over the principal upon realizing Jennie had left the kindergarten of her own volition.

Sabrina watched the screen intently. She traced Jennie's journey until she saw Jennie enter a residential area.

“This area is Starry Apartment," one of the officers said. “Why is she there? Does she have family there? Is that how she knows her way?"

Sabrina was momentarily speechless. "That's where I live," she revealed.

Sabrina made her way home quickly. Stepping out of the elevator, her eyes immediately found a small figure crouched by her front door. A wave of relief washed over her.

With Bettie away on business, the house stood empty.

The sight of Jennie in front of Sabrina's place brought a sense of calm to both the principal and the family driver.

Jennie lifted her gaze upon hearing Sabrina's approach. She gradually stood up, looked at Sabrina with a timid expression and whispered, "Sabrina."

Noticing the family driver a short distance behind, Jennie bit her lip.

Sabrina approached Jennie and, with a hint of frustration, said, "Jennie, do you know the trouble you've caused? Sneaking off like that. What if something terrible had happened to you?"

"Does this mean you're worried about me?" Jennie asked, her eyes wide with hope.

Sabrina didn't reply directly but instead instructed, "It's time to go back with the driver."

"I don't want to go back!" Jennie's eyes brimmed with tears as she clung to Sabrina's leg.

Sabrina felt a pang of helplessness.

“Please, go back with the driver," Sabrina urged, attempting to disentangle herself.
