At 9:14, Mia, wearing small rain boots, overalls, and a small hat, appeared in the surveillance video.
"Mia!" Jaxson yelled, "She really went to find the kitten!"
Aiden did not speak.
His expression became more and more serious.
He watched Mia knelt on the ground and carefully took out the kitten with her favorite towel. After saying something to the kitten, she put it into her bag.
The video didn't have a sound.
But after Mia put the kitten into her bag, she took a deep breath and then made a gesture.
It seemed that Mia was quite scared, so she wanted to encourage herself.
"She found the kitten at nine, so why hasn't she come home?" Alice asked, sobbing, "Is she abducted by human traffickers? Oh, no! My poor lady!"
Aiden was annoyed by Alice's sob. He frowned deeply but didn't speak.
Then, he switched the screen to check the other cameras in the direction that Mia was heading.
However, Mia soon disappeared into the blind spot of the surveillance camera.
When Aiden searched again, he couldn't find Mia anymore.
"What to do now?" Alice collapsed.
Aiden sat in the chair while thinking about every single possibility.
Mia had just come back to Mailand and didn't have any friends, and she also didn't know where Evie and Athena worked.
So where was she going to take the kitten?
Soon, a name popped up in Aiden's mind.
It seemed that it could only be him...
Aiden's face darkened. He immediately wrote a dummy code and also found a phone number.
After the code was written, he entered the number.
"You may leave." After a pause, Aiden continued, "Don't contact Mommy for now."
"Huh?"
Jaxson was puzzled.
"Do as I say," Aiden said resolutely.
Jaxson nodded and pulled Alice out of the study.
Aiden didn't want them to come back, so he also locked the door.
Then, he put on the headset and dialed the number.
