"Abner..."
It was followed by another anxious call.
Amelia and Kaiden had turned around simultaneously just to see a middle-aged lady was chasing after the small boy with remote controller on his hands.
"Abner?" Staring at the small boy who was wandering at the corridor on the second floor, Kaiden called out his name softly.
Amelia took a glance at Kaiden. Seeing that he could not help walking towards the staircase and the fact that the lady had been watching closely after the small boy, she wondered if he was Sawyer's son.
Up until this time, this was only speculation from Amelia.
The buzzing sound continued.
The remote control helicopter was flying down gradually.
The sound of footsteps descending from the staircase.
Abner climbed down from the second floor through the spiral staircase. It seemed as if he was so
focused on the helicopter that he had missed out his steps on the staircase. With a slip, he fell off from the stairs in an instant when he was about to reach the floor.
"Abner!" the middle-aged lady exclaimed. She hurriedly ran over in an attempt to catch Abner.
Fortunately, Kaiden had already reached the stairs by then. He reached out to hold Abner who had stumbled off from the staircase.
Abner startled for some time before he struggled to get rid of Kaiden's sturdy chest. There was neither hint of gratitude nor fear within his gaze. It was as if being rescued from falling down had meant nothing extraordinary to him.
Instead of blaming him, Kaiden could not help scrubbing Abner's nose and said affectionately, "Dude, had I not caught you in time, you're going to be injured again."
Abner remained in silence. His gaze fell onto the plane which had already crashed onto the ground.
He pursed his lips unnoticeably upon seeing that one of the wings of the plane had been broken.
"Mr. Wright, thanks for your help!"
Soon, the middle-aged lady came over to them and reached out to carry Abner.
"Don't mention it. This is what I'm supposed to do."
Kaiden replied gently.
The middle-aged woman was so focused on Abner that she had not seen Amelia who was standing at the door. Nonetheless, both the lady and the kid appeared to be familiar to Amelia at her first sight. She wondered if she had met them before.
"Well, it would be of great help if Kaiden can make way for me so that I can see Abner's face clearly." Amelia thought.
Upon seeing that Abner was safe, Kaiden could not help asking the lady in desperation, "Savannah, I'm here to look for Sawyer. Do you know his whereabouts?"
Recalling, Savannah replied, "Master usually won't let us know where is he heading to. But I remember that he had brought along Brayden with him when he left. Since Brayden was carrying two luggage as he left, I guess they will be away for some time."
Upon hearing this, Kaiden completely gave up the idea of waiting. He had no other choice but to say, "Alright then. Please let him know that I've stopped by when he is back."
"Sure." Savannah promised before she bent over to carry Abner.
The next second, she looked shocked as she screamed, "Abner, what' wrong with your leg? Why are you bleeding?"
Kaiden was shocked as soon as he lowered his gaze. He had managed to catch Abner from falling onto the ground. Hence, supposedly he should not have been injured by then.
Abner could see the blood oozing profusely from his right calf. It did not take long for the blood to stain the entire hand of Savannah who was carrying him. Abner was unmoved at this sight.
