When they started watching the surveillance video, the boy who had been sobbing no longer dared to speak.
Once they were done watching the video, Fabian turned angrily and picked up the two boys who had been stirring trouble.
The two boys were so scared that they immediately started crying. One of them was even so scared, he wet his pants.
“If you dare bully Lillian again, I’ll tear you all into two pieces, just like this painting!”
After Fabian warned them, he threw the two bad boys at the teacher without mercy.
The teacher hurried to catch them, but all three of them fell to the ground.
Fabian picked up Lillian, took her small school bag, and turned to look at Jackson.
“Hey, you’re also leaving with us.”
Jackson nodded. He quickly returned to his class and told the head teacher that someone from his family had come to pick him up.
Fabian walked out of the kindergarten with Lillian in his arms. The little girl was still unhappy.
Accompanied with a gentle smile on his face, Fabian started to coax the little girl. “Lillian, how about I buy you some cotton candy?”
Lillian shook her head.
“What about toys?” Fabian walked to the window of a toy store.
Lily still shook her head.
“What does Lillian want then? I will give you a gift.” Fabian looked patient.
Lily raised her hand, put the two pieces of torn paper together, and showed it to Fabian.
Fabian looked at the picture and gradually understood. “It turns out that Lillian wants Daddy. Then, I’ll take you home to see Daddy.”
Lillian nodded, and there was a smile on her fair and clear doll-like face.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and Lillian’s drawing was blown away by the wind. The little girl shook her body and wanted to get out of Fabian’s grasp.
Fabian understood this. Lily ran over to pick it up with her short legs, but as soon as she crouched down, a car stopped beside Lillian suddenly.
Two men got out of the car and said, “Yes, this is the kid!”
As he said this, one of the men quickly grabbed Lily who was crouched on the ground to pick up her drawing.
Lillian struggled desperately, but her small body could not resist him.
When Fabian saw this, he became very anxious and chased after them. “Lillian!”
“Lillian!” Fabian dashed toward the car, but the car quickly drove away from him.
Fabian looked around and decisively stopped a man who was starting up a scooter.
He put a safety helmet on Jackson’s head, then picked him up onto the scooter. “Hold on!”
Jackson nodded firmly and hugged Fabian’s waist tightly.
Fabian looked at the car that was dashing away with sharp eyes, then quickly chased after.
The other party was clearly prepared, however, and outdistanced Fabian who was tailing close behind the car.
Fabian had to stop the scooter. He looked at the busy fork in the road and punched the seat with a fist. “Sh*t!”
Niamh was done with work early that day and wanted to pick up the two children from school before Kendrick came to pick Niamh up.
After arriving at the kindergarten, however, she was told that Jackson and Lillian had already been picked up.
Niamh was worried it was a person with ulterior motives who picked up the siblings when she suddenly received a call from Jackson.
“Jack, where are you? Who took you and your sister away?”
“Niamh, it’s me.”
Just after Niamh asked, Fabian’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Fabian?”
“Niamh, I’m sorry, I lost Lillian.”
“…” Niamh lost herself for a moment. Her heartbeat became agitated as she questioned, “What do you mean you lost Lillian? Are you with Jack now? Where are you?”
Niamh asked while returning to her car.
After finding out where Fabian and Jackson were, she hung up the phone and hurried over.
…
A dilapidated apartment building.
A burly man was carrying Lily after tying up both her hands. He then threw her onto the bed without mercy.
Lily, who was thrown onto the bed, got up laboriously. She had not forgotten to pick up her drawing that fell to the side with her little hand. Although the drawing was wrinkled and damaged, she still held it preciously in her hand.
When the other thin man saw it, he complained, “Be gentle. If there’s any damage to this little thing, then there’ll be less money in hand.”
“If you’re afraid that there’ll be less money, then I should’ve taken the boy together just now. We would’ve made more money.”
The thin man bit his cigarette and shook his head. “I’ve observed them before. That boy is not easy to handle, but this little girl is much simpler.”
The burly man walked to the bed, pinching Lily’s face with his fingers.
Lily struggled to escape the man’s hold as her large clear eyes became full of unyielding stubbornness.
“Hmph, this little thing is not scared at all.” The burly man mocked and took out his cell phone. “Remember to call Mommy and Daddy to save you later. Do you hear?”
Lily pursed her mouth tightly, continuing to glare at the two ill-intentioned men. At the same time, she tightened the torn drawing in her hand.
‘With daddy accompanying Lillian, Lillian is not afraid.
‘Not afraid at all.
‘Daddy would become Superman and save Lillian.’
Lillian thought silently, her naive ignorance making her not too clear about these two bad men.
She did not know why they caught her, or how cruel these two bad men were.
After Niamh and Fabian met, she then learned about the situation when Lillian was taken away.
She wondered if Ryan had asked someone to do it, but she felt that it would not make sense for Ryan to do so.
Ryan had better ways to control her. He probably would not blatantly do things that crossed the line.
However, besides Ryan, who else was there?
“I’m sorry I didn’t look after Lillian properly.” Fabian apologized solemnly.
Niamh did not blame him either as she knew that Fabian had always been good to Lillian.
At this moment, Niamh’s phone rang.
The call was from an unfamiliar number. She answered it decisively without hesitation.
The other party was straightforward. “Is this Eveline? Your daughter is in my hands now. If you don’t want your daughter to be hurt, you’d better be ready to transfer 20 million to my designated account. I’ll notify you later on the specific time.”
Thinking that it might be a kidnapping case, Niamh kept calm.
“Eveline, did you hear?” The other party thought Niamh did not hear him, so he impatiently urged. “Do you not believe that your daughter is in my hands? Then I’ll let her say just a few words to her mother now.”
After the kidnapper’s words fell, Niamh’s heart seemed to burn in discomfort.
Her Lillian could not speak.
“Little thing, call out to your mommy! Hurry up!” the man ordered fiercely.
However, Lily did not make any sound. The man suddenly became annoyed and wanted to use violence to force Lily to speak.
Niamh also had a foreboding and hurriedly said, “I believe my daughter is in your hands! Don’t touch my daughter or speak loudly to her. I’ll prepare the money.”
Noting that Niamh was frank, the kidnapper felt a little skeptical. “You didn’t even hear her voice and already you believe what I said?”
“Yes, I believe you.” Niamh clenched her fists, her heart feeling as if it was being stabbed. “Don’t force my daughter to speak. She can’t speak.”
