He saw my thoughts too and didn’t say much. He only comforted me, “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone find it right away.”
Now I can’t hide it anymore and decide to tell him the truth.
“Gavin, you’ve to find the child. She’s your child.”
Gavin looked at me with wide eyes in shock, but he thought I was worried that he couldn’t find children.
“Well, I know. I’m going to find her. You can rest assured. I said I’d treat her like my own child, so I’ll keep my word.”
“No, what I said is true. She is your child. All these years, I didn’t tell you the truth because I was afraid you’d take her away from me.”
He looked at me with a lowered gaze. “Are you telling the truth? Are you kidding me?”
“What time is it now? I’m not in the mood to joke with you.”
He suddenly froze and focused on driving. once home, he replied to me, “I’ll find the kid. You can rest easy on that.”
He sent me home and left, not knowing where to go, leaving me home alone, restless and suffering.
Gavin’s perspective
After Aure promised to stay with me, my life became very happy. However, life kept joking with me, and the child disappeared.
At that time, Aure suddenly told me that the child was my own. Initially, I didn’t believe it, but I couldn’t help but doubt it when I saw her serious expression.
But when I asked Lance for a paternity test, I was personally told that I wasn’t related to my children. Who was lying to me?
When I got out of the house, I called Lance.
There’s a lazy voice on the phone. It seems that he’s pleased to be living in his new house.
“Hey, what’s going on this time? I already moved out.”
I didn’t have time to talk nonsense with him. I asked directly, “Is Aure’s child my own?”
The phone was silent for a while, then a voice spoke up, “You already know?”
In that tone, it seems he lied to me.
I was angry and asked, “Why did you lie to me?”
“I can be wronged. I didn’t lie to you, but I gave you the result then, and you didn’t look at it and tear it down.”
His tone is really worth hitting, but I don’t have time to settle accounts with him now. I’ve to hurry to find the kid.
“I’ll settle with you later.”
I hang up the phone and call people, telling them to look everywhere fast.
Aure called me to check on the situation, and she left home. Now I don’t know where to look, so I’ve to go and connect them. Not until I’m together will I stop worrying.
I don’t know how long it took before I finally got a message.
I answered the phone, and word came that Dior had taken the child from the school, then gone to a secret location and said that Aure wouldn’t give the child back until she met her in person.
If that hadn’t happened, I’d have forgotten about Dior. Unexpectedly, she pushed her luck and went too far every time.
I’d no intention of letting Aure go, but I wanted to fix it myself. This time, I won’t let Dior go and let her become a demon again and again.
But Aure, worried about her children, ran to Aure when I didn’t care.
I know. I quickly sent someone to rush to her, but I learned some shocking news.
Aure fell off a cliff during an argument with Dior.
I was immediately blindfolded. Luckily, there was a river at the bottom. I prayed in my heart that she was still alive.
I sent a large number of people down to rescue her, but there was no news.
I brought back the child Aure had taken from me.
“Gavin, it’s not what you think. She fell on her own. It’s none of my business.”
I could tell she didn’t know how to show remorse until now, only how to shirk responsibility, which was extremely disgusting.
“Enough of you, don’t make a crocodile here. Seeing you makes me sick.”
“I really like you. If it weren’t for Aure, we’d have lived happily together.”
Hearing her words made me grin, “Oh, don’t go smearing gold on your face. You don’t deserve to compare yourself to Aure. Even without her, I don’t bother looking at you.”
“What’s the matter with me? Why don’t you like me?”
“Why? Look at what you’ve done.”
Looking at her almost crazy appearance, I don’t want to pay attention to her. Aure’s life and death are still uncertain, so I don’t want to waste time with her.
“Okay, I don’t want to waste time with you. If I make a mistake, I’ll be punished. This time, I’ll hold you accountable. You can go to jail and repent.”
I returned to the car with my baby in my arms, listening to her crying and wailing for mercy and feeling my temples give me a headache.
“Uncle, where’s Mama?”
Hearing the child’s childlike voice with a sense of guilt, I suddenly softened.
“Mama, I don’t know where she’s, but Papa will find her.”
“Papa?” She was confused by those two words.
“Yes, I’m your father, my father. In the future, you’ll no longer be a child without a father.”
She put her arms around my neck, very pleased with the result.
“Papa, it’s all my fault. I went with strangers. Is my mother evil?”
I patted her back and comforted her, “How come? Mum doesn’t blame you. Don’t worry. Our family will reunite soon.”
I took my kids home and paid attention to the messages sent to me by the people I left there, but they didn’t do anything.
I still have a bit of luck, and she’ll be fine.
However, shortly after, something happened that dealt me a blow.
I received a message from my men. They’d recovered a female body whose identity was uncertain. My hands were shaking. I hung up and rushed over immediately.
The police and the crowd surrounded the place.
I managed to squeeze in, and what I saw was a corpse lying on the ground that had begun to decompose, and its face was blurred.
I don’t remember what the police said in my ear. I held the body in my arms, crying and apologizing all the while.
In those days without her, I was like a walking corpse.
I think this is the end of my life.
Aure perspective
After the child disappeared, we started looking everywhere, but there was no news. Suddenly, a phone call cleared up the whole story.
It turned out that a woman who Gavin had previously rejected tried to threaten me to leave him out of love and hate and then took my child away from me.
She let me go alone because she was afraid of harming the child, so I’d to leave without saying anything to Gavin.
The woman was now angry and took it out on me, and to protect the child, I accidentally fell off the cliff, and the sea was very fast, and very soon, I lost consciousness under the significant impact.
I don’t know how long I was in a coma. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange place. In front of me stood two strangers, a man, and a woman. Judging by their costumes, they seemed backward and aloof from modern society.
“You’re finally awake.” The man looked at me with surprised eyes.
I’d some doubts, “You’re …”
“It was my brother who saved you when he went out to sea.” Said the woman angrily.
I suddenly understood, nodded, smiled, and said, “Thank you.”
After I understood that they’re brothers and sisters who’ve lived here all this time and never seen the outside world, my brother is Bruce, and my sister is Belle.
If I stay in this place, everyone will take good care of me, and my injury will heal soon, but my heart thought of the child. I don’t know if she’s been saved. I can’t stay here for a long time. I’ll return the kindness of her two brothers and sisters in the future.
I asked them about the matter.
“Bruce, I want to tell you that I’ve to go. Thank you for taking care of me during this time.”
Bruce didn’t answer and kept silent the whole time, but Belle exploded, “No, you were saved by my brother, so you should stay and pay him back and give him children.”
I listened, genuinely shocked. I want to pay him back, that’s for sure, but it’s wrong to force people to commit.
“I can’t promise that. I’ve already given birth to a child. I’m very grateful to you for saving me. I’ll return the favor. If you want to see the outside world, I can take you there.”
“No, we’re not going, and you don’t want to have it either. You don’t agree to it now. After a long time, you’ll accept your fate.”
Seeing that what she said was too much, Bruce told him, “Well, you’re too much.”
Belle began to teach a lesson when his brother failed to live up to expectations, mobilizing the villagers, stopping me, and locking me up.
Even while I was sleeping, I forced Bruce into my room and cooked raw rice. Fortunately, he was a gentleman and didn’t take advantage of people’s danger, or there would have been dire consequences.
As time goes by, my mood is getting more anxious, and I really can’t wait.
Bruce is good to me. I can’t accept his kindness, but I should tell him if I want to go.
“Do you want to go and not stay here?”
His eyes were so sincere that he felt it.
