“I want to save my son, my precious little one! Corinne, please help me, help me break open that door together!”
Anya exclaimed, raising the chisel in her hand in excitement.
Corinne watched Anya’s distressed and desperate state, squinting her eyes, feeling skeptical.
At this moment, Anya did indeed seem different from her previous acts. It did not seem like she was pretending.
If what Anya said was true, there might be a man inside that utility room who possibly took her child hostage.
Could it be a burglary? The thief was discovered by the child and, fearing the child’s cries would alert the adults in
the house, resorted to harming the child to silence them.
Considering this, with the safety of the child at stake, Corinne temporarily set aside her biased perspective of Anya
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand calmly advised her:
“Don’t act rashly for now. Even if we break open the door, it won’t solve the problem if someone is holding your
son, hostage. It might even provoke the person to take extreme measures and harm your son! We don’t know the
situation inside the door or how many people are in there, so we should first call the people in your house before
making any decisions!”
After speaking, Corinne prepared to go find someone from the Riveras.
However, Anya grabbed her, her eyes filled with panic, her voice trembling, “No need to call anyone. I’ve already
called my brother. He and Jeremy will come right away! Corinne, we can’t leave. If we go, what if the bad person
inside takes the opportunity to escape with my precious child?”
Anya’s grip stopped Corinne in her tracks, plunging her into deep thought.
Anya’s concern is indeed valid. Both of them going out would provide an opportunity for the bad guys to escape,
but it wouldn’t be safe to leave one person here alone either..
Since she mentioned that she already called her brother, Lucas, let’s wait here for a while!
Corinne agreed to stay behind. “Alright! But no one should act recklessly until your brother and the others arrive!”
Anya, for once, agreed with her. She nodded and tremblingly said, “Corinne, can you help me hold onto this for a
moment? In case someone inside suddenly rushes out, you can defend yourself. My emotions. are too
overwhelmed, and I can’t summon the strength.”
Saying that Anya directly stuffed the sharp chisel into Corinne’s hand!
Her action was too quick, and Corinne had no choice but to catch it. If she did not catch it, the chisel would have
dropped to the ground and hit her foot!
However, Corinne caught the chisel but did not have time to react to the next step when Anya suddenly seemed to
lose her mind. She ran toward the storage room as if going crazy, shouting as she ran, “Joey, don’t be afraid!

Mommy’s here to save you.”
Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed. Not good! What is Anya up to? What is she doing? Did she forget about the
agreement they just made?!
She saw Anya rush over like a gust of wind and immediately yank open the door of the storage room!
Contrary to her previous description of the door being difficult to open, it was almost effortlessly pulled. open!
Whoosh!
Various miscellaneous items poured out from the storage room, and a child’s body rolled out and fell among the
clutter!
Then, Anya’s piercing scream echoed throughout the Riveras.
“Joey!!!”
Seeing something was wrong, Corinne quickly approached and saw the motionless and pitiful little child lying in the
heap of objects. Her pupils contracted, and she took in a sharp breath! $
