Chapter 2954
After hearing the teacher's words, Nicole headed straight toward the storage room.
The door was securely locked, requiring a password to open. It was an electronic lock, not
just any ordinary one.
Nicole touched the doorknob, pausing for a moment. She then activated a special feature
on her watch. The watch connected via infrared and a virtual keypad appeared.
With a few quick taps, she unlocked the electronic lock, and it clicked open.
The staff who had followed Nicole were shocked to see her open the locked door so easily.
They stood there, amazed and confused.
'How did she open a locked door? Could it have been unlocked all along?' they thought.
But Nicole didn't pay attention to their reactions. She entered the storage room and

She had noticed while unlocking the door that someone else had previously used the
same method. In this place, she knew only Nolan could have done that.
"Nolan, Lana?" Nicole called out gently, her eyes scanning the cluttered space.
As she called their names and searched, she hoped to find
Nolan and Lana hidden among the various items stored there.
"Mommy?" came a soft, slightly confused voice in response.
Nicole turned and saw two small heads peeking out from beneath a mascot costume.
Lana seemed as if she had just woken up, but Nolan's face relaxed upon seeing Nicole.
Feeling a rush of emotion, Nicole walked over, gently pulled Nolan and Lana out, and
hugged them close. "It’s okay now, don't be scared," she whispered softly.
"Mommy, I wasn't scared. Nolan was with me," Lana stated, a hint of pride in her voice.
Nicole's eyes filled with relief. She affectionately ruffled Nolan's hair. "Nolan, you were so
brave."
"I was brave too," Lana interjected, tilting her head up expectantly.
"Yes, Lana, you were very brave too," Nicole responded, holding both their hands as they
exited the storage room.
As they walked, Nicole inquired, "What happened? How did you end up hiding here without
anyone finding you?"
Realizing Nicole must have been informed about the incident, Nolan explained, "After we
were rescued, we took the chance to hide."
"Nolan said we should stay here and not make a sound unless it was Mommy calling us,"
Lana added.

Nicole, now understanding the situation, asked softly, "You must have heard the teachers
calling you, right?"
Lana might not have heard while asleep, but Nolan had been awake the whole time.
"Yes," Nolan whispered, "but at that time, I didn't trust anyone."
Hearing this, Nicole bit her lip in silence, gently patting Nolan's shoulder. She understood
how terrifying this experience must have been forthem, and how impressively calm they
had managed to remain.
Taking a deep breath, Nicole reassured them, "It's all right now. Let's go, Mommy will take
you home.”
As they were leaving, Lulu and Tia, having just learned that Nicole had found Nolan and
Lana, rushed over. They examined the children, exclaiming with concern, "Are you okay?
You scared us to death!"
