Chapter 126 Bright joined his pinky finger with hers and assured her.
âYes, my princess!
Your brother will return safely.â
Then he sat with computer geeks and watched the video again for some clue. I asked my little girl to pray.
âPray to God that Zoe isnât harmed, Jane. I am scared!â
Jane hurriedly hugged me with her tiny arms, her frantic heartbeat was audible in the empty room.
âI am also scared, mommy. Please ask the police uncles to bring Zoe back.â
We were praying for Zoeâs safety together when my cell phone rang, vibrating in my hand. My heart raced like a galloping horse in my chest to see the video call from Melody. I asked Jane to stay in her room and got up.
Walking towards the living room, I showed the call to the officers. They mouthed me to attend it without giving her any hint about their presence. So, I pressed the green icon with my trembling hands, Melodyâs ashen face appeared on the screen. She shouted at once.
âYou, slut!
Do you really want me to kill Zoe?â
Putting a gun at Zoeâs forehead, she uttered her annoyance for the latest social media campaign.
âAfter capturing Leoâs mind, you used Zoeâs disappearance to make me look like a bad person in your story. You Regardless of her sharp outburst, my eyes were glued to my babyâs horrified face, I cut her off midâsentence and pleaded.
Chapter 126.
âWhat do you want, Melody? Just tell me, I will do everything you any.
But please spare my sonâs life. Zoe hasnât done Melody chuckled, hitting his head mercilessly.
âWhen did I say that Zoe has created any problems for me? In fact, he was my free ticket to Leoâs life.
Now, he is simply paying for his brazen parents wrongdoings, Laura. You have to suffer like me.
I will kill him to make you feel my pain!â
She demanded us to delete social media posts and disconnected the call, but the sound of the railway engineâs whistle in the background struck me like a lightning bolt of realization.
It then dawned on me.
âI know where Melody is!â
My thrilled statement ran a jolt of life in the room, the officers were ecstatic to get a clue. It was better than firing the arrows of assumption in the darkness.
âPlease ask all of your units to go to the north railway station. There is a colony of daily wage workers in the back.
If my guess is right, Melody is hiding there!â
As Melody was my best buddy in the past, I was aware of all the details of her family background. To get my sympathy, she used to cry for my leftovers and secondhand goods.
She also shared the address of her aunt, who raised her after her parentsâ death.
âFifteenth street, cabin number seventeen near the drainage system!â
Henry asked Bright to stay at home with Jane and grabbed my hand.
âLetâs go and save Zoe, Laura!â
But Bright Wesnât ready to slay back. âI will go with you, Laura needs me, Bút I am with laura. She donerct need you The untimely arguments irritated us, wasting time, so teo tapped on my shoulder and rushed outside I am starting the car. Come with me if you dori want to lose the chase of police vans.
Blimey!
Leo was right!
I punched Henryâs shoulder and glared at him.
âStop behaving like a child, brother. Bright is coming with us!â
We set off to the north colony and reached there in no time due to Leoâs rash driving. I heart could see the police fighting with the goons from afar. This promising sight filled my with high hopes, my son wasnât too far away from me. So, I didnât wait for the car to stop properly and jump out of it.
âZoe!!!
Mommy is coming!â
Henry followed me to the cabin, and we barged inside the door, only to find Melody with my crying kid. She pointed the gun at us and screamed hysterically.
âDONâT MOVE!â Melody screeched, her grip on the gun trembling.
The barrel pressed against Zoeâs temple, her wild eyes darting between us like a cornered animal.
âI swear Iâll do it!â she sobbed, her entire body shaking. âIâll take him with meâIâll make you feel my pain, Laura!â
