She was the spitting image of the woman in his photo! Before he had a chance to react, Aurelia had already hailed a yellow cab and scooped him up into her lap.
Aurelia's heart was pounding wildly, her mind in a whirl. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice the boy's unusual behavior.
Kane just stared at Aurelia, his heart a tumultuous sea of emotions. Ever since he was old enough to understand, his mother had just been a photograph in his father's phone. Everyone said his mother was dead, but she didn't have a tombstone because his father wouldn't allow it.
Every time his mother was mentioned, his father would become upset, lock himself in his room, and drink alcohol until he was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer.
He didn't dare bring it up anymore, and no one else in the house did either.
His nose tingled, and he sneezed.
Aurelia snapped back to reality and pulled him into her embrace. "Honey, you've caught a cold too. We need to get you some vitamin C when we get home."
It was then that she remembered she needed to buy lemons. Luckily, there was a grocery store near their hotel where she could pick some up.
Kane nestled his head into her bosom. “Is this what a mother's embrace feels like? It's so warm!” He thought, and he decided then and there that he would stick around to figure out who this woman was. Could she be his mother?
At the supermarket.
William still stood in front of the screen, watching a chess match.
A burly man rushed over and scooped him up. "Little Master, how did you get here? You scared me to death."
William was the one who was scared to death. "Who are you? Put me down right now, or I'm going to call for my mommy."
The bodyguard, Badi, was taken aback. The Little Master seemed to be acting out of character, but children often acted out, so he didn't think much of it and continued towards the exit.
"Little Master, stop fooling around. Let's go back to the car and wait for Mr. Leopold."
William was terrified, and he let out a loud cry. "Mommy! Mommy!"
Badi was breaking out in a cold sweat. Mr. Leopold had just said that he saw his wife here, and Kevin was on his way with a large group of people to search for her.
