Perhaps her parents could pick her up at the quickest possible time if Aino were to borrow a phone and call them. However, it was also possible for the bad people to notify her Uncle Holden during that time. Aino could not take that risk. She could only trust herself. She was a child who was very good at remembering routes. She was very clever. The reason she asked her Uncle Holden to stop here to buy cotton candy was not because the cotton candy was that delicious, but it was because she recognized this route. This was because lately, her Uncle Kingston had often driven her to the hospital right after he picked her up from kindergarten. This was the route to the hospital from the kindergarten. She could walk back to her kindergarten if she followed her memory and walked along this route. After that, she could walk back to her house from the kindergarten based on what she remembered. The six-year-old child planned to use the dumbest, which was also the safest, way to walk back home.
Throughout her journey, Aino was afraid that someone would ask her, "Child, where are your parents?" She was afraid that others would ask her that, so sometimes she would jog a few steps and then shouted, "Dad, Mom, wait for me."
However, after Aino had walked for a very far distance and for an unknown amount of time, she still had not
reached her school. She was tired and sleepy. She was also very hungry. When she saw a public restroom, the little child, Aino, hid herself in there. She did not dare t o sleep for too long. She forced herself to only take a short nap. Just a short nap. She would continue to walk after she took a brief rest. Just like that, it was already mid-afternoon, but she still could not reach her kindergarten on foot. However, Aino knew that she was getting closer and closer to her kindergarten. The hope in her heart also got greater and greater. 1
Aino did not know that if she should give a call to her parents at that moment, they would not have to make their next decision. She was only a six-year-old child. How would she know the malice between adults? How would she know about the deals between the adults? She had already exhausted all the wisdom a six-year-old child could use. Aino, who had extraordinary wisdom, did not know that her dad and mom were bidding their last farewell to each other at that moment.
An hour ago, Sabrina and Sebastian had called Holden numerous times, but no matter how many times they tried, Holden just did not pick up. Both Sabrina and Sebastian, who always had an incomparably strong mind, broke down at the same time. It was not until the final call that Holden finally picked up the call. Before waiting for Holden to say anything, Sabrina could not hold it in at this end of the phone call." Holden Payne! Don’t you...don't you torture me anymore. I...I'll go along with whatever you say now! Where's my...Aino? My Aino is fine, right? Let me
listen to her voice. I just want to listen to it." 2
Holden sneered. "Sabrina! I had already let you listen t 0 Aino’s voice countless times! I have already boarded the ship now! It's not convenient for me to do so anymore. I'll just be waiting for you to come over!”
"I'll go! I'll go! I certainly will go!"
"Have you said your farewells to that sc*mbag?" Holden asked again.
Sabrina nodded. "Yes, I have."
"That sc*mbag was not worthy of being with you at all! You don't have to be sad! It hasn't even been two years since you have gotten together with that sc*mbag.
You had once been separated for six years. Weren't you able to live your life just as well? Sabrina, don't worry. Being together with me, I will not let you suffer any grievances. I will make you and your daughter, as well as your child in your belly, very happy. Believe m e, Sabrina."
Holden, who was on the other end of the call, was very incomparably sad. He was feeling very desolate. He could not find Aino anymore. How badly he wanted to take Aino away with him. However, he could not find Aino anymore. He was afraid that any further delay would bring about changes. Holden was even prepared to fight Sebastian to death. In the end, several hours had passed, but Sebastian did not lay his hand on him at all. That could only mean one thing. Aino had escaped, but she had not given her parents a call. Sebastian and Sabrina still did not know that Aino had run away. Holden then decisively made the final decision, which was to take Sabrina away. As for Aino, Holden could only endure the pain and let her stay by Sebastian's side. Aino running away made Holden grit his teeth in hate, but he did not hate Aino. He hated Sebastian. He simply wanted t o let Sebastian live in pain for life! For life!
"I believe you! I believe you! I'll go immediately! I’ll go now!" said Sabrina continuously.
"Alright, I'll wait for you!" Holden hung up the call after that.
