Crises in Love novel Chapter 303

I closed my eyes and thought back carefully to that time when I held him by his tiny hand and handed him over to his teacher.

But for the life of me, I couldn't remember what kind of shoes he was wearing.

I opened my eyes, shaking my head helplessly, "I have no idea. I didn't pay any attention to his shoes."

My words were reasonable. After all, who deliberately observed a child's shoes?

The two officers looked at me with disappointment.

I continued to stare at the shoe in silence.

Though I couldn't be certain it belonged to Evan, it felt oddly familiar.

I was familiar with the shoe, yet the image of it on his foot was blurred.

It was like seeing Evan again. He was so close, yet so out of reach.

I was suddenly reminded of the scene in the storm drain.

Just like now, he was near me, crouched in front of me, but I couldn't touch him.

The officers shook their heads regretfully, ready to take the shoe and end the conversation.

At that moment, the image of Evan in the drain flashed in my mind again.

I reached out abruptly, holding onto the shoe, "Wait!"

The officers turned their gaze towards me.

I closed my eyes again, recalling the moment in the drain. He was crouching before me, and his eyes locked onto mine, full of confusion and helplessness.

Following my train of thought, I looked at him and then moved my gaze to his shoes. At that moment, I saw clearly that he was wearing this exact shoe.

I broke down, crying out, "Officer, this is Evan's shoe. I'm sure this is Evan's shoe. It's Evan's shoe."
