“How is that possible? The Weiss family has already accepted the wedding date. How could anything go wrong?” Mr. Daniels snapped at his wife and whispered, “Alright, there are so many people here today. Try to act like nothing has happened!”

Mrs. Daniels could only muster a smile as she faced the guests around her.

With her red lips pressed tightly together, Paisley Daniels looked toward the exit of the banquet hall where Martin Weiss had disappeared to.

She had called out to Martin so loudly just now, but he did not look back.

It was as if he had forgotten all about her and everything around him.

Who was able to make him leave on such an important occasion?

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in Paisley Daniels.

Kyla Corbyn watched as the movers loaded the truck with all the luggage they could not carry with them before turning to her mother and son. “Alright, Mom. Let’s eat before going to the train station.”

Nelson asked with his beautiful eyes wide open, “Mommy, are we never coming back to Emerald City?”

“We…” Kyla Corbyn was in a trance. She did not even know how long they were going to hide from Martin Weiss. “When you’re older, we can live wherever we like, okay?”

“I like it here. Aunty Grace is here,” said

Nelson.

Kyla Corbyn smiled. Getting to know Grace in Emerald City was probably her greatest luck. If it were not for Grace, Nelson would not have been equipped with one of the best hearing aids so soon.

However, she could not help Grace with her heartbreak at all.

“Alright, let’s go.” Kyla Corbyn took her son’s hand as they left the house they had briefly rented.

After a simple meal nearby, the three took the subway to the train station.

It was still early as it was only 2.30 PM, and there was still more than an hour left before the train’s departure time.

Kyla Corbyn and her mother found a place to sit down in the station.

Unlike her son who was looking around curiously, Kyla Corbyn looked worried.

“What’s the matter?” asked Mrs. Corbyn when she saw her daughter’s worried look.

“I… I don’t know. I keep feeling like something’s going to happen,” said Kyla Corbyn. Her heart was beating hard for

Mrs. Corbyn felt bitter once she talked about it.

Compared to Paisley Daniels, what happened to her daughter was too tragic.

“Mom, stop!” Kyla Corbyn said quickly. After all, her son was right beside them and she did not want him to hear about the grown-ups’ grudges.

Mrs. Corbyn seemed to come to herself and shut her mouth.

Fortunately, Nelson was focused on his surroundings.

With each pa**ing day, Kyla Corbyn felt her uneasiness growing stronger and stronger. She could not wait for the three of them to get into the high-speed train.

Finally, an announcement that they needed to check-in began to play through the broadcast.

However, Nelson wanted to go to the washroom, so Kyla Corbyn turned to Mrs. Corbyn and said, “Mom, look after our luggage. I’ll take Nelson to the washroom.”

“You gotta hurry. They’re checking us in now,” said Mrs. Corbyn.

“Alright, I got it,” replied Kyla Corbyn as she took her son by the hand and went to the washroom.

She took her son to the women’s washroom because he was too young to go to the men’s washroom alone.

Luckily, there were doors in every cubicle in the women’s washroom which was relatively private, and no one usually had a problem with it.

After the little one finished his business, Kyla Corbyn picked him up by the sink so that he could wash his hands before she led him out.

“Mommy, are you scared?” his childish voice suddenly asked.

Kyla Corbyn looked down at her son in surprise. “Nelson, why do you think so?”

“Because the way you look now is just like when Ben is afraid of the monster,”

said the little one. Ben 10 was the latest cartoon he had watched.

Kyla Corbyn was stunned. ‘Not only my mom but even my son can sense my fear? Am I being that obvious?’

“I’ll protect Mommy! Don’t be afraid, Mommy,” Nelson said earnestly.

Kyla Corbyn’s eyes reddened. She could not help squatting down to hug her son.

“Okay, I won’t be afraid,” muttered Kyla Corbyn. Giving birth to Nelson was probably the best choice she had made.

She would take good care of her son. She would keep Nelson from any harm, even if she had to sacrifice everything.

Kyla Corbyn did not come to herself until she heard another announcement over the broadcast about the check-in process. She quickly took Nelson out of the bathroom.

She had only walked a few steps when she suddenly came to a halt. Her body trembled uncontrollably while all the colors faded from her face.

‘No way! How could Martin Weiss be here?’ A sudden fear gripped Kyla

Corbyn, making her want to run away immediately.

However… her feet seemed to be stuck in place, unable to move a step.

“Mommy, it’s the man I saw last time.

He helped me recover my hearing aid,”

said Nelson while his little hand broke free from Kyla Corbyn’s. He ran to Martin

Weiss who was staring at him intently. He said politely, “Hello, Uncle.”

Few things could surprise Martin Weiss, but today, he was surprised again and again.

When he heard that she had a three or four-year-old child with her on the phone, he was so shocked that he forgot about everything and ran out. When he came back to his senses, he was already driving his car from S City to Emerald

Though he had ordered his men to stop her, he wanted to see her with his own eyes and ask her what was going on with the child!

However, when he actually saw the child, he was surprised for the second time.

He did not expect him to be the child he had met before.

He had a strange affection for the child and even wanted to sponsor the child.

‘I didn’t expect… the child to be hers!’

Martin Weiss bent down, his deep black eyes staring at the small child in front of him. He looked into those eyes that were similar to his.

“What’s… What’s your name?” he asked hoarsely.

“Nelson, but it’s only a nickname. My full name is Nelson Corbyn.” The little one smiled at Martin Weiss.

When he saw the smile, Martin Weiss finally knew why he had a strange affection for the child. It was because his smile looked like Kyla Corbyn’s!

‘Nelson Corbyn?’

“Where’s… Where’s your dad?” His voice grew hoarser.

Hearing this, the little one’s happy face immediately became a little sullen.

“He’s not around anymore. Mommy said

Daddy’s in heaven.”

‘In heaven?’ Martin Weiss picked the little one up and walked up to Kyla Corbyn who was already pale.

“Give me… the child,” she said with a tremble in her voice.

“Kyla Corbyn, if you don’t want to make a fool of yourself in front of the kid, then come with me now,” Martin Weiss said coldly..

Kyla Corbyn trembled and gritted her teeth.

His words were as if he had sentenced her to death.

‘Can’t I escape?’

Even though she tried hard, she still could not escape and even led him to discover Nelson’s existence.

She wanted to yell and hit someone. She wanted to take Nelson out of his arms, but she could not say anything when she looked at her son’s innocent face.

The world of adults was ugly. At the very least, she hoped Nelson’s world was a little cleaner.

“Alright. I… I’ll go with you,” she said hoarsely.

Nelson listened on as if he understood what was going on. “Mommy, where are we going? Aren’t we going to take the train?”

“Good boy. We’re… going somewhere with this man. We’re… not taking the train for now. We’ll take it next time.”

“What about Grandma? Won’t Grandma come with us?” the little one asked doubtfully.

Kyla Corbyn could not help looking in the direction where Mrs. Corbyn should be right now. “No… I’ll call Grandma and tell her we’ll take the train next time.”

Nelson was sad that he could not take the train today, but because he met the uncle who once helped him recover his hearing aid, he joyfully and excitedly told Martin Weiss about how he could hear and how well he could speak now.
