I was relieved when the doctor finally announced that ze was out of danger. Though he may still
need to stay for a couple more days in the hospital, he confirmed that the operation was sessful. I
feel like a heavy weight was lifted from my chest. I’m d that ze was finally out of danger.
It’s been three days since myst encounter with Sebastian. I haven’t heard anything from him since he
left the hospital. I’m not really sure whether that’s a good thing or not. I have a feeling that he’s
nning something. That’s why I’m trying my best to get ze out of the hospital. We need to leave as
soon as possible. I don’t trust Sebastian at all. His silence could also be a warning, like a calm before
the storm.
“I need to fix some documents for ze’s discharge. I’m also going back to the hotel to pack my things
so ze and I can leave as soon as possible once I settle the bill. Don’t let anyone get inside the room
without my permission, Sylvia. If something happens, call me immediately or call the police.”
“Understood, ire. Is everything alright? I understand it’s not my business, but I can’t help but feel
concerned about you and ze. Over the time I’ve been working with
I’ve grown quite fond of both of you.”

“Thank you for your concern, but you have nothing to worry about. We’re fine,” I answered.
“The man from the other day, was he…?” She didn’t manage to finish what she was about to say when
her eyesnded on ze, who was busy ying with his toys.
I blew a loud sigh before nodding gently as confirmation.
“Oh, you poor child. I hope you sort everything out,” she said.
“I will, as soon as we get out of here.”
“You’re leaving?” She frowned.
“I can’t stay here, Sylvia. I don’t trust Sebastian. He might take ze away from me.”
“He can’t do that, ire. You’re his mother. I’m sure thew is on your side,” Sylvia convinces me.
“You have no idea how powerful my ex-husband is. He has the power, connection, and money to turn
the tables. If I fight him head-to-head, I have no chance of winning. Running away from him is my best
chance to keep ze safe.”

“I know I’m in no position to give my opinion, but I wanted to ask: are you sure that it was the best for
ze? I mean, someday, he might need his father,” she said.
I’m well aware of that. That’s why I’m trying my best to be enough for ze so he won’t feel the need to
know who his father is.
“I’m doing the best I can to provide him with everything. We don’t need him,” I firmly replied.
I trust that you know what’s best for both of you. I wish you good luck and happiness, ire,” she said
before giving me a tight hug.
Thank you, Sylvia. I wish I could bring you with us,” I said.
“Just give me a call whenever you need me. I’lle by if I can,” she replied.
I’m touched by the genuine kindness that she showed us from the beginning. I’m d I found a person
as good as Sylvia.
“I’ll go ahead. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Take care, ire.”
I turned to ze, who was lying down on the bed ying with his toys. “Hey, sweetheart. Good news!
That doctor says you’re free to go.”
“Really, mommy? Yey! I’m so excited!” he responded in glee. “I can’t wait to go back to our house. I
miss my friends,” he added.
“You’ll see them soon, honey.” I lied. I’m not sure going back to Hawaii is the best option right now. He
already found me there once, and I’m sure that’s the first ce that he would look for us the moment
we disappeared. “But right now, I need to settle things in the hospital, and then I’ll be picking up my
things from the hospital. As soon as we’re settled, we’re flying back home.”
Take care, mommy. I’ll be good this time. I won’t get out of my room without permission,” he promised.
“You’re such a good boy, sweetheart. You listen to Sylvia, okay? I’ll be right back as soon as I can,” I
said before nting a soft kiss on his forehead.
I offered Sylvia a gentle pat on the shoulder before grabbing my bag and proceeding to handle the
necessary tasks to expedite our departure from this ce. It’s a relief that Sebastian hasn’t made any
further moves since he left. I intend to seize this opportunity to break free from him once and for all.
Returning to my hotel, I swiftly gathered my belongings without bothering to check for Sebastian’s men.
If he wishes to confront me, he knows where to find me. There’s no

With my belongings in hand, I made my way to the reception desk to check out. Afterpleting the
necessary procedures in just over an hour, I decided to head back to the hospital. As soon as I stepped
out of the hotel, I found a cab already waiting outside the lobby. I hailed the cab and quickly got in,
eager to return to ze’s side.
As we took our journey to the hospital, I suddenly felt nervous. I don’t know why, but I sensed
something I couldn’t truly exin. It’s probably what they called a mother’s intuition.
“Sir, can we go a little faster? I need to get to the hospital as soon as possible,” I told the driver.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. But I think there’s an ident along the way, so it might take longer than it should,”
the driver exined.
The hospital was quite far from where we were, and with the heavy traffic, it seemed wise to wait until
we could move through the congestion.
While waiting to get through the heavy traffic, I dialed Sylvia’s number to check on them. I tried to
convince myself that I might be overreacting and that there was no reason to worry. But as seconds
passed and Sylvia hadn’t answered my call, I’m slowly starting to panic. She’s not the type to leave her
phone unattended. I took a deep breath when the call ended without her answering. I tried to calm
myself while silently praying that everything was fine back there.
After taking a few deep breaths, I attempted to reach Sylvia once more. Unfortunately, she still hadn’t
answered the call. At this point, I was certain that something was definitely wrong.
I’m tapping my feet as I bite my lower lip, trying toe up with a n to get out of this traffic. Luckily,
the queue of cars began to move, including ours. After fifteen minutes, I finally reached the hospital
lobby. I immediately handed a few dors to the driver before I grabbed my belongings and got out of
the car.
I went straight ahead to the elevator and pressed the floor where ze’s room was located. My heart
was thumping loudly as each floor passed. I walked briskly as soon as the elevator door opened. I
didn’t notice that I had been holding my breath while approaching the door.
My heart sank as my suspicion was confirmed. I was out of words as I found ze’s room empty. I
turned towards the nurse station to ask what’s going on.
“Where the fck is my son?” I felt guilty as I watched the horror on the nurse’s face. I didn’t mean to be
rude, but my son is missing, and I have no time for pleasantries.

“Miss Foster, please calm down,” she said.
“No! You don’t get to tell me to calm down when my son is missing while under the care of this hospital!
So, can somebody please tell where the fck is, my son?”
“Miss Foster, your husband has arrived to handle everything and discharge your son from the hospital.”
My eyes
widen in shock. It didn’t take much for me to know who’s behind all of this. I knew Sebastian was
nning something, but I never imagined that he would resort to this kind of tactic.
“You did what?” I was too stunned to speak. I can’t believe this is happening right now. I’m panicking,
but at the same time, I was trying to keep my head clear so I could n my next move. I’m not entirely
surprised that Sebastian managed to get my son out of the hospital without my consent. He has the
power, money, and connection to do his bidding. I wouldn’t be even surprised if he managed to buy
shares in the hospital in order to execute his n.
Just as I was about to raise my voice at the nurses once more, a man in a ck suit approached me.
“Miss Foster,” he uttered in an attempt to catch my attention.
“What?” I snapped at him, frowning in annoyance.
“This is for you,” he said before handing me a phone.
It took me long enough to figure out that the man in front of me was working for Sebastian. I sna tched
the phone from his hand and quickly put it in my ear.
“Sebastian…” I uttered his name while gritting my teeth, trying to hold my temper. “Where is my son?”
“He’s fine,” he replied calmly.
“I’m not asking you how he is. I’m asking you, Where the fck did you bring my son? I will sue you for
kidnapping!” I threatened him.
“You can’t sue me for taking my son,” he replied.
“He’s not yours!” I shouted.
“I think we have already passed that phase of denial, ire. I’m his father, and he should stay with me.
You are free to stay with us if you want,” he said.
“Never,” I firmly replied. “Tell me where you are so I can take my son.”

“Go ahead and try,” he said confidently. “Brad will drive you here.”
“I don’t need your dog to drive me. I can do it myself. Send me the location,” I said. I didn’t mean to be
rude, but the stress of the situation is bringing out the worst in me.
He chuckled. “You should be nice to Brad. He’s the only one who can bring you to ze. I don’t think
Brad will appreciate you calling him names.”
Sebastian was really testing my patience. I think for a minute, contemting my options. But it seems
like Sebastian has no intention of backing down.
“When I get there, I’m going to take my son, Sebastian.” I didn’t wait for his response. I immediately
hung up the call and handed it over to Brad. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to call you a dog.” I quickly
apologized. He has nothing to do with the rift between me and Sebastian. It wasn’t fair for me to take
out my anger on him.
“I understand. No offense taken, Miss Foster. Please follow me,” he said. “Let me take that for you,” he
offered before he grabbed my things from my hand. He then led the way to the elevator. Once we got
in, he immediately pressed the basement parking button. “Kindly wait here, Miss ire. I’m going to get
the car.”
While Brad left to get the car, I had some time to assess the situation. I’m thoroughly thinking about my
next move. I can’t let Sebastian win without giving him a hell of a
fight. I need to think of something.
