Both Holden and Malvolio's bodies were all taken off the ship. As for Malvolio's subordinates, those with crimes that were not serious were all dispersed, and those with serious crimes and had committed numerous murders were directly handed over to the police.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night. Aino, Ruth, Yvonne, Marcus, Gloria, Jane, who had just been discharged from the hospital and Alex, who was carrying his child, as well as Zayn and his wife, were all waiting in Sebastian's house. Even Nigel, who should have been mourning in the Ford Residence, also brought Minerva over. That was because Minerva wanted very badly to know about her Uncle Holden's situation. Sebastian was very large, but it was already looking a little packed after so many people were seated in there. All of them were on pins and needles.
"Can my mom come back today?" Aino kept asking. She ran to the front up to her grandmother and asked her with an anticipating tone in one moment, and then came to the front of both Ruth and Yvonne and looked at them very uneasily at the next moment.
"Can my mom come back today?" The little girl asked this question every four minutes.
It had already been five days since she last saw her mother. That was the longest period she had been separated from her mother since birth. Seeing her Aunt Ruth, Aunt Yvonne, and her grandmother not replying to her, the little one would then have tears welled up in her eyes.
Gloria immediately hugged the child in her arms. She was her granddaughter. Gloria was not feeling any better than Aino. She had been in despair from being worried in the past few days. At one point, Gloria even thought that if Sabrina could not return alive, then she certainly could no longer live anymore. She could not lose her daughter, and she could not accept seeing her child die before her. However, every time Gloria saw Aino, she would think to herself bitterly that if she had died, then how pitiful would her little granddaughter be? That would not do! She had to raise her little granddaughter. Gloria hugged Aino very tightly. She wanted very badly to tell Aino, "You still have me. You still have your grandma." However, she did not say anything. She also knew that if she were to say that, then Aino certainly would bawl until she had gone mad.
Gloria just hugged Aino very tightly and then comforted her by saying, "Aino, listen to me. Your mother is the strongest mother in the world. When your mother was pregnant with you back then, she had wandered everywhere and had been on the run for six years, but she did not die. Therefore, your mother had a very strong ability to survive. She absolutely would not leave you behind. Your mom will certainly come back alive."
"That's right, Aino. Believe in your grandma. Your mother certainly will be able to come back alive. She will never be able to bear to leave you behind." Yvonne consoled Aino with a smile.
Ruth even scolded Aino. "Little one! I won't allow you t o talk about your mother like this! You have to say that your mother will certainly be coming back! Your mother will certainly be able to come back! Do you understand?"
Jane looked at Aino with a gentle gaze. "Aino, you have to be strong. Do you understand?"
Aino understood everything. She could tell that everyone present was all consoling her. That was because she was the youngest, so all of them were truly taking care of her feelings. However, Aino knew i t as well as the adults.
She suddenly burst into tears. "I know that my mother is in greater danger this time than any other time before. Back then, although she was on the run, my dad was not hunting her down. However, now, the person my mother is facing is a murderer..." She cried with immense hopelessness.
With each passing day, Aino got even more hopeless. The little child's cries were extremely sharp and miserable. It was absolutely heartbreaking for Sabrina when heard this voice outside the door. She pushed open the door and feigned an angry tone. "Who said I can't come back?"
