Immediately after that, Sabrina's voice suddenly became hoarse and harsh like the voice of a crow. " What did you say? Holden Payne, you devil, what did you say?"
"Don’t be upset, Sabrina. Don't be upset." Hearing Sabrina's voice suddenly became incomparably hopeless, and she felt so hopeless that her voice suddenly became hoarse and harsh, Holden sounded sad on the other end of the line. He had been very regretful that he had held Aino hostage and was regretful that he used Aino to blackmail Sabrina. He was afraid that Sabrina, who was eight months pregnant, would have another miscarriage. He was afraid that Sabrina would die because of that.
At that moment, Holden consoled Sabrina. “Don’t be afraid. Really don't be upset, Sabrina. Aino will be very well being here with me. You know that. Don’t you know me? You know that I will use my life to take care of Aino. I will not let Aino experience the slightest bit of grievances. Sabrina, don't worry, don't b e afraid!"
"Alright, alright. Alright, alright, alright!" Sabrina said continuously. "Alright, Holden. I'm not worried. I really am not worried. You...let me hear Aino's voice. Let me hear it!" "Alright," Holden immediately said gently.
Within a few seconds, Aino sound could be heard coming from the phone. "Mom."
The little girl sounded cheery as if nothing had happened. "Mom, I am with Uncle Holden. He is my true uncle. I told him that he has the same parents as my dad, and he is even my dad’s twin."
Sabrina tried her best to suppress the catch in her throat. She tried her best to calm her voice down and called out, "Aino, tell me, you...are you alright now?"
"I'm doing very well, Mom." Aino smiled. At that moment, even Holden could not tell that Aino actually had a catch in her throat. Aino did not even know if she could control herself from wanting to cry, but she truly managed to control it. She praised herself silently. 'Aino Scott, you're the best!'
At that very moment when she was abducted into the car, she realized that she had been tricked by her grandpa. After all, she was too silly and too young, which was why she was tricked by her grandpa, the old sly fox. She was even a fool to brag to everyone that she, Aino Scott, had a grandpa already. She had actually bragged about it!
She knew very well that had been abducted. She was very afraid, but she was most afraid for her pregnant mother, who was about to give birth already.
Originally, Aino did not know how difficult and how dangerous it was for a mother to give birth to a child. However, Aino had just seen her Aunt Jane give birth a few days ago, and her Aunt Jane had practically crawled out of the grasp of the Grim Reaper.
Therefore, she knew that if her mother learned that she was abducted when her mother was so close to giving birth already, her mother would certainly die! Aino's fear was instantly replaced by an even greater fear, which was the possibility of her mother dying.
No! She was already six years old! She could remember many routes! She could not let her mother b e worried for her! Therefore, no matter how sad and how much Aino wanted to cry, she held it all in. She behaved in a cheerful manner in front of Holden, as if she was an ignorant little brat. Of course, this was partly due to Holden's efforts as well. Holden indeed treated her very well. In the big hotel, the whole room was filled with all sorts of toys. Her uncle treated her just as well as he did on Star Island. This made Aino feel much more at ease. Therefore, at that moment, when Aino spoke to her mother on the phone, she was able to hide her fears and sadness even better.
"Mom, I had been dreaming about Uncle Holden every day. I finally was able to meet him today. Mom, I'll stay and play with Uncle Holden for a while, then I will go back. Don't worry about me, Mom.”
"Mm-hmm. I won’t worry about you, baby. Enjoy yourself. Hand the phone back to your Uncle Holden,” Sabrina told Aino.
