But Elaine knew that was impossible! How could he have? Dave had just called Reece an illegitimate child—when Reece was born, he’d even shown disgust toward him. Why would he ever pick Reece up from school? The answer was obvious from the start. Still, Elaine reached for the phone. Though she couldn’t ask Dave, she’d once hired an aunt to look after Reece when she was busy, and she wanted to call her to check if she’d picked up the child.To make things worse, her own phone had died from low battery. She’d thought of borrowing the teacher’s phone but couldn’t remember the aunt’s number. Then she’d wanted to call Olivia to ask about her situation, only to realize she couldn’t recall Olivia’s number either. In the end, everything had been a complete mess! After that incident, Elaine made sure to memorize every single contact related to Reece—his homeroom teacher, other kindergarten staff, his deskmate’s parents, Olivia, the aunt at home. All their numbers were etched into her mind and h

His gaze was fixed on the time displayed on Dave’s screen—it was already 2 a.m. The previous time Reece had gone missing, she had found him at around this hour. Elaine’s mind was flooded with memories of Reece huddled and crying until his voice grew hoarse in the small alley near the kindergarten. Her breath seemed to catch in her throat; her eyes were bloodshot and red, and her entire body was trembling violently. She had no idea in which corner Reece might be crying right now. Her body felt as stiff as stone, while the sound of Reece’s crying echoed repeatedly in her ears like the whisper of a demon."Mommy... Mommy... I’m scared..." Elaine’s heart felt as though it were being torn apart, and the events of a year ago flashed through her mind. Back then, she finally found Reece, who had mistaken someone else for his father. That was the first time the little boy had asked her about "daddy." In a soft and timid voice, he asked, "Mommy, what is a daddy? Why are all the other children

Apart from this taxi, there was absolutely no sign of any other vehicle; even the road in front of the hospital was pitch black and very eerie. Elaine’s eyebrows trembled, and her breathing gradually became shallower. From here to Reece’s school was at least an hour’s drive. But Dave was just standing there watching; he harbored such deep resentment toward her that there was no way he would offer her a ride. Whether he knew the way to Reece’s school or not didn't matter; even if he did and were willing to walk, it would already be morning by the time he arrived. He had time and he could walk, but could three-year-old Reece wait?"Miss, are you getting in or not? There are no other cars here. I just came here to drop someone off. You’re lucky I just took a short nap. If you don't get in soon, I’m leaving!" The driver grinned broadly at Elaine, mimicking the movement Dave made when lighting his cigarette. However, Dave was dignified and handsome, and such an action made him look even

A split second later! Her body lurched forward and hit the seat in front of her. Elaine’s heart seemed to stop beating as she heard the sound of the driver’s door opening. Had he parked the car?! Before Elaine could think of a plan, the door beside her suddenly swung open. In the dim moonlight, the driver’s face looked fierce and predatory, like a hungry wolf.“My darling, come out quickly. Let big brother have some fun with you!”Elaine instinctively shrank back and screamed, “Get away! Don’t touch me!”The driver reached out to grab her but missed. She scrambled backward toward the back of the car. Elaine was so terrified that her face turned pale. She let out a few stifled cries, but the next second, her ankle was caught firmly in his grasp. The man was incredibly strong. He grabbed her legs and violently dragged her out of the back seat. His movements were rough, and as he pulled her out, her head banged hard against the car door. Elaine felt her vision blur and nearly fainted.Sh

The man frowned. What the heck? He himself was like a bug submerged in mud, yet he was still worried about the little one? Dave’s expression hardened as he pieced together unclear conclusions. He quickened his steps, entered the hospital, and saw Elaine being wheeled into the emergency room.Along the corridor were long benches for visitors to rest. Dave, who was craving a cigarette, sat down. He reached into his pants pocket for the pack, head bowed, eyes fixed on his dust-stained trousers. Coming back to his senses, he noticed the white shirt he was wearing—for some unknown reason, it was stained with Elaine’s blood, now dried and crusty.He froze in place. A low, menacing sound escaped through gritted teeth, followed by two sharp words: “Elaine Qin!!” How wonderful! She really knew how to get herself into such a mess! He had truly underestimated her.He sat stiffly for a long time, moisture gathering at the corners of his eyes. Finally, he frowned and let out a heavy sigh.Suddenly
