“Y-Yes…” Norma was nervous, but still, she tried to keep it together. “He’s our grandson. His parents miss him, so we’re taking him home to see his parents.”
Lawrence felt that he could not let any car with children leave so easily, so he asked, “What work do you do? What work do his parents do?”
“I’m Professor Hoffmeister of Turlen School of Medicine. This is my pass. You can take a look at it,” Torsten then took out his pass to hand it to Lawrence.
Lawrence glanced at the pass and verified it before he said apologetically, “l’m sorry. There is a missing child, so we have to question everyone who has a child with them.”
With that, he quickly gestured to his men to let Torsten’s car pass.
After all, that man was Turlen School of Medicine’s old professor. Although they were not as advanced in the medical field as the other countries, that man had done a lot for the medical school.
“Losing a kid is no small deal. You really have to put your all into finding the kid. After all, all children are their parents’ precious. I can imagine how devastated the parents are after losing the child.”
Torsten squeezed out with difficulty as if he could empathize with him. That made Lawrence impressed.
“Yes. We’ll find the kid as soon as possible!” As he said that, he took several steps back and let Torsten’s car go by.
Norma’s heartbeat finally slowed down when they left the area.
“Old man, you‘re not at all nervous,” Norma said to Torsten, still holding onto the boy.
Torsten gave her a smug grin. If he had been nervous, they would not have gone through the checkpoint.
“The kid’s quite a good boy. He sleeps quietly after drinking his fill,” Norma commented as she pinched the boy‘s cheek.
If not for them wanting to do experiments on live subjects, she would have raised the boy as her own. Even though he was only several months old, she could already see how obedient he was. She liked him, but sadly, she could not keep him.
Torsten gave the boy a side-eye.
This is a precious that I’ve got to keep well. Still, just this one isn’t enough. I need a few more. If i fail, I need at least two more backups.
