Jeremy silently sped up the car.Lucas and Sunny silently sat in the back seat. They were both surprised and impressed by Corinne's computer skills as she pinpointed the location of a phone number in such a short time.Sunny was particularly interested in hacking and network systems, so he was taken aback when he saw what was on Corinne's laptop screen."Holy sh*t, Corinne! Y… You're Jade Rabbit?"Corinne did not have time to entertain Sunny. Instead, she shot him a glare and said, "Just sit tight and keep quiet."Sunny pouted and settled back into his seat in resignation, though his admiration for Corinne quietly grew.'Good grief, my idol has been Corinne all this time!' Sunny marveled in disbelief.…Meanwhile, on the outskirts of New Capital City.The middle-aged balloon seller wrapped up a call from his former boss. He tucked his phone away and swatted at the pesky mosquitoes.Anya stepped out of the cave, eyeing him suspiciously. "Who were you talking to?"The balloon

Realization finally dawned on the balloon seller. "What? That fast?"Anya, not wanting to waste time explaining things, rushed into the cave to bring Joey out of the cage. After all, Corinne and Jeremy were not like the others. They were capable of tracking her down swiftly. She needed to find another hiding place promptly.The pitiful Joey was still crying and shivering in the dog cage. Alas, the heartless Anya roughly pulled Joey out, tied him up with a piece of hemp rope, and called the balloon seller from outside to come in and carry the kid. She did not even care about the boy's well-being.The balloon seller was visibly reluctant, but since he had not received the promised 14000 dollars, he begrudgingly went along. With Joey on his back, they left the cave.Anya even tossed the balloon seller's phone into the cave, promising to buy him a better one.…The desolate mountains were quite far from the city center. It took Jeremy and Corinne two hours to reach there, and by then

The police dogs entered the cave. Jeremy and Corinne followed suit.The cave was enveloped in darkness, and there was the smell of burning wood in the air. As the police illuminated the space with powerful flashlights, they saw the dog cage in the cave and the ashes of burnt firewood.At the sight of the dog cage, Corinne's eyes stung with tears. "They must've kept Joey in this dog cage! D*mn it! How could they treat a child like this?!"Jeremy's expression did not look good either.The police dog, sniffing around, barked twice after catching a peculiar scent.Sunny moved forward to investigate with the police. He saw a puddle on the ground.'Is that...the kid's pee?' thought Sunny.The intuitive connection between mother and son allowed Corinne to grasp the situation immediately upon seeing the puddle. "That must be Joey's pee. He left it as a scent trail for us! Since it's still wet, it means they haven't gone too far!""Yeah, they shouldn't be too far. Men, have the police d

Anya continued walking downhill as she laughed disdainfully. "Why? Because you're the child I adopted! My belongings, even if they're not the best, are still mine. I won't allow anyone to take what's mine!"Joey's eyes were filled with resignation and despair. "But...you don't like kids at all... You don't like me. Why can't you let me stay with my mommy and daddy..."When Anya realized that Joey was not referring to her as his mommy, her irritation spiked as she slammed Joey fiercely onto the ground."What did you say? Who did you call your mommy?"The mountain path was rugged with plenty of brambles. After being roughly thrown to the ground, Joey's exposed skin was pierced by some sharp prickles. This caused him to wince in pain.As if that was not enough, Anya kicked his stomach harshly. "You little brat! Who were you calling 'mommy'?!"Joey was not able to speak anymore. He could only cry silently inside.Unfortunately for him, Anya was still unsatisfied and stomped his stom

Therefore, Anya planned to snatch Joey back from Corinne. She believed that if the Holdens were willing to take in Joey, it meant they valued him. If she could regain control of Joey, they would also give her respect and benefits.More importantly, she would be able to reconnect with Jeremy if she got Joey back. She was sure their former relationship would be rekindled.Unfortunately, Joey turned out to be more fragile than she thought. He passed away quite easily after just a few kicks from her. She was pondering how to deal with his lifeless body when the sudden barking of dogs startled her.'Why are there dogs in the mountain? Wait, could it be wolves? Sh*t, I don't have any weapons on me...'Anya looked around and quickly ran down the mountain. She did not care whether those were stray dogs or wolves. What if they were hungry? They could just feast on Joey's body. All she had to do was to take the opportunity to escape.…The barking of the dogs drew nearer. Several police do

Corinne woke up to find herself in a hospital. The light above her was eye-piercingly bright, causing her to break out in cold sweat."Joey!" she cried out.Through her blurry vision, she could see someone gently stroking her head and whispering in a deep voice into her ear, "It's okay, it's okay..."Corinne's breathing slowly calmed, and the scene before her became clearer. She made out Xante, Aaron, Annie, Lucas, Sunny, and Maxwell. They were all looking at her with a mix of concern and tenderness.Jeremy was the one who was cradling her gently, comforting her with soft-spoken words.Corinne was still in a state of shock. She straightened up in Jeremy's arms and asked with reddened eyes, "Where's Joey?"Jeremy looked at her gently and said, "Don't worry. The doctor saved him. He's fine and awake now."Fearing Jeremy was just trying to comfort her, Corinne asked with disbelief, "Where's Joey? I need to see him now!"She tried to get out of bed to look for Joey. Jeremy did not

Jeremy led Corinne to the pediatric ward.Joey sat absent-mindedly on the bed, eating an apple that Francine had peeled for him.Greg and Pamela's worried expressions faded when they saw Corinne entering."Corinne! You're awake, too!""Thank God!"Corinne nodded toward Greg and Pamela. She then released Jeremy's hand and quickly walked to the bedside. Tears fell as she looked at Joey.'He's alright. Joey really is alright…' thought Corinne.When Joey saw Corinne, he instantly released the apple in his hand and threw himself into Corinne's arms."Mommy... I thought I'd never see you again..."Corinne hugged him tightly. "Mommy's here! I'll never lose you again!""Mommy..."There was not a dry eye in that ward. Jeremy also subtly furrowed his eyebrows, his emotions quietly dancing behind his slightly reddened eyes.He turned to ask Francine, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home looking after the other three?"Francine wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry! We've

Joey blinked and nodded. "Okay."Corinne helped Joey get comfortable in the bed. She draped a blanket over him before she started to talk."Joey, what happened today was just an accident, and I promise it won't happen again. Remember the lessons from this experience, and be more careful in the future. Also, can you promise Mommy you won't be traumatized because of it?"Corinne was trying to counsel Joey out of worry that he might suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.Joey pouted pitifully. "But it was so scary... Every time I close my eyes, I see that woman hitting me... Mommy, can I go to work and come home with you every day from now on? I don't ever want to be away from you anymore."Corinne's heart ached as her once cheerful, sensible son had become shell-shock. She gently stroked his head. "Silly boy… Daddy is back now, so Mommy doesn't have to go to work every day. I can stay home with you guys all the time!""Really?" Joey visibly relaxed after hearing that.Corinne

Joey visibly relaxed when he heard what Corinne said. After all, even he himself felt what he did was disgusting."You weren't breathing when Mommy found you. Was that intentional, too?" asked Corinne when she suddenly recalled something.Joey pursed his lips and nodded. "Yeah. Before Mommy arrived, that woman kept hitting and kicking me. I held my breath, hoping she'd think I was dead and leave me behind so I could go find you by myself. It wasn't long until I heard your voice calling me, but I didn't dare to believe it. I was afraid it might be my own imagination, so I didn't open my eyes..."Corinne felt relieved and smiled. "You did so well. It's remarkable of you to come up with such a plan at your age! Mommy is very proud of you!"Joey had indeed saved himself. The police dogs would not have found him so quickly if he had not left such a noticeable scent by wetting his pants.It was infuriating that Anya could be so heartless to mistreat such a clever, adorable child. Just h

Sunny helped Maxwell to his feet. Matching his pace, they slowly walked toward the exit.As they passed by Xante, Sunny leaned over and whispered, "I'll take my dad to the driver outside now. I'll come back to find you in a bit, so wait for me."Xante nodded and adjusted her golden-rimmed glasses before turning back to continue her conversation with Aaron and Annie.After Sunny and Maxwell left the ward, Aaron chuckled and teased, "Xante, I can see Mister Sunny is quite serious about you. Ever thought of getting married just like Annie and me?"Aaron had his arm around Annie as he spoke. They looked really happy and intimate.Xante rolled her eyes at him. "Is this the right time for such comments? The boss' family just went through a major crisis, and she's just woken up. How can you crack jokes at a time like this? Have you forgotten that we owe what we have now to her?""Hey, you got the wrong idea about me again! I just felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy and wanted to lighten
