In the middle of the night, Aino’s little figure curled under the covers and was sobbing continuously. She kept trembling as well. She was very afraid. However, she also felt that she was brave for having succeeded in tricking her Uncle Holden. Just for a few seconds, she felt pity for Uncle Holden as well. However, the six-year-old Aino could not care so much anymore. She had to escape from the clutches of her uncle as soon as possible. She must escape. No, she could not let her Uncle Holden see that her eyes were swollen from crying when she woke up the following day. She could not cry any longer!‘Aino, don’t cry! You can’t be a coward. You have to be brave! Your mom is going to give birth soon. You still have to take care of your mom. Be brave!’Aino wiped her tears away and forced herself to not cry. Finally, she stopped crying. She tiptoed and went barefoot to the bathroom and washed her eyes and face with ice-cold water. After that, she returned to her bedroom and slept. She h
He was extremely close to being united with Sabrina, Aino, as well as the child in Sabrina’s belly. They could then live a carefree and idyllic life. How great was that? While Holden was in a daze, his phone rang. He took his phone up and answered it. “Hello?”“Master Holden, we’ve already done a thorough investigation. There are no men keeping watch all over South City. The route is also unobstructed. We can definitely return to the island.” There was a pause. “Master Holden, it’s just that…”“If you have something to say, could you please be direct?” asked Holden.“Master Holden, are you truly going to give that piece of island freely to Malvolio Yeatman?”Holden was silent for a moment. “I don’t care for that island and money. When I struck a deal with Malvolio back then, we already had an agreement. I can’t go back on my words. I just want to live my life together with Sabrina and Aino. That’s all.”“But…” The person wanted to continue but stopped himself.Holden then said im
Holdent tried to turn around to see where else she could’ve gone. He was completely stunned at that moment. The cotton candies he held in his hand fell on the floor.“Sir, sir? You still haven’t paid,” shouted the lady.“Get lost!” Holden raised his foot and kicked the lady violently. She vomited blood as she landed on the ground. She was shocked as she looked at the decently dressed man in front of her, who had a handsome appearance and seemed wise and virtuous. She could not believe that he was actually a devil.The lady suddenly was reminded of a crime movie that she saw a very long time ago. There was a line in the movie. “Can you guarantee that his melon is ripe?” It was just one line. The customer who wanted to buy the melon in the movie asked the seller who sold the melons if he could guarantee that the melon was ripened and weighed enough. The melon seller then arrogantly pulled some tricks and fooled that customer. In the end, the customer killed the melon seller. In that s
Perhaps her parents could pick her up at the quickest possible time if Aino were to borrow a phone and call them. However, it was also possible for the bad people to notify her Uncle Holden during that time. Aino could not take that risk. She could only trust herself. She was a child who was very good at remembering routes. She was very clever. The reason she asked her Uncle Holden to stop here to buy cotton candy was not because the cotton candy was that delicious, but it was because she recognized this route. This was because lately, her Uncle Kingston had often driven her to the hospital right after he picked her up from kindergarten. This was the route to the hospital from the kindergarten. She could walk back to her kindergarten if she followed her memory and walked along this route. After that, she could walk back to her house from the kindergarten based on what she remembered. The six-year-old child planned to use the dumbest, which was also the safest, way to walk back home.T
After she hung up the call, Sabrina looked calmly at Sebastian. “Sebastian, take care of yourself, alright?”Sebastian’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. He actually had some white hairs on both of his sideburns.“Believe in me, Sebastian. I will certainly be fine. I will bring Aino, as well as the child in my belly, back safely. All three of us will be fine. Believe in me. The six years I spent in exile is the best proof that I certainly will not let myself die. I definitely will not let any mishaps happen to our children. I am an incredibly strong mother.”Sebastian hugged Sabrina in his arms. He hugged her so tightly. He had never felt so disheartened like this moment before. He was so disheartened that he wanted to turn the whole city upside down. However, his daughter was still in the hands of the other party. He could not do anything. Even if Holden appeared in front of him at this moment and asked him, Sebastian Ford, to kneel and bark like a dog, Sebastian would do as he was t
He was a powerful man. He was the King of South City. However, at this moment, the masculine man shed a tear. Sabrina suddenly broke free from Sebastian’s embrace. She took her bag, turned around and left.“Sabrina…” Sebastian called out.Sabrina went downstairs and the driver was waiting for Sabrina. She got in the car, but she did not say a single word. The driver also did not know where he should send her.Sebastian leaned against the window and looked out of it. He also did not say anything, but he was saying it over and over again in his heart, ‘Believe me, Sabrina. I will rescue you as fast as I can. You have to meet our daughter first thing when you get there. As long as you are together with our daughter, I can feel at ease. I will immediately commence rescuing all of you. I will exhaust everything of the Ford Group to rescue and get you and Aino back.’Sabrina left. Sebastian collapsed onto the ground as if he was already dead. After an some time, Kingston came over. He ge
“Dad, am I brave?” Aino threw herself into Sebastian’s arms.“Dad, I am very smelly, I’m covered in dove poop. I also got some poop stuck on me for having slept in the restroom, and I am very hungry, I am very brave. I did not ask others for help along the way because I know that there are a lot of liars now.”Speaking of that, the filthy little child’s tone became glum for a moment. “Even my grandpa had lied to me. He said he is your dad and his relationship with you is the same as my relationship with you. Dad…I will never trust Grandpa again in the future. Dad, I am back already. I remember the routes, Dad. I originally wanted to come back earlier, but I only know how to return to my kindergarten from the place I had escaped. Therefore, I had to first find my kindergarten, and then find my way back home from there after that. Dad, what’s the matter? Why are you stunned? Are you dumbfounded, Dad? Don’t frighten me, Dad…” Aino cried.She held her father’s face and she lightly hit h
Her voice was trembling hard. “Dad, where is my…mother?”Sebastian looked at his own daughter in a daze. How could God actually be so cruel to him? Was God pushing him? Was God punishing him for being so vicious and heartless that he did not even show mercy to his older half-brothers? Was God punishing him for not taking good care of his mother? Was God punishing him for not taking care of his father and his grandparents? However, of all of those things, which of them could he be blamed for? If he did not kill those older half-brothers of his back then, the person who died would be him. They were the ones who lay their hands on him first. Sebastian only retaliated. Retaliated!What about his mother? Sebastian already did his best to take care of his mother. At least Sabrina had loved and cared for his mother very much, but what was the consequence that Sabrina got? She was already eight months pregnant, but she was taken away to be a hostage! Were the heavens insisting on provoking S
