Melanie's eyes darted around as she feverishly kept calling out, "Morales, Morgan… where are you?" She screamed at the top of her lungs but there were so many people in the amusement park that her voice was muffled.
Her sight got hazier in her agitation as she kept screaming the children's names in her tear-stricken voice.
She never got a reply.
She dashed through the crowds hysterically and asked every single person she saw along the way, "Did you see my children?"
"Where are my children? Did you take them?"
"Morales! Morgan! Come back!"
"Arghhhh… Where are you?!"
Melanie was on the verge of a breakdown as she darted around like a lunatic. Tears were streaming down her face.
Perhaps she was too agitated, for as soon as she spotted two young boys, she dashed toward them and hugged them. "I found you! I found you!"
"Who are you?! Get away from my children!" The parents of the boys that Melanie had pulled into her arms quickly shoved her away.
Melanie was scared witless by now and was not in the right frame of mind to make a fuss.
She continued to roam around while screaming like she had lost her mind.
The passersby all whispered about her and pulled their children closer. "She looks like she's crazy. Better keep a closer watch on the kids and don't let her get her hands on them."
She turned the entire place into a danger zone for everyone.
Melanie kept screaming and running about like a headless chicken in search of the boys, but her fear and anxiety were not over the boys' safety. Instead, she was afraid that she would never get to see Hanson again.
If it had not been for that, she would not be bothered even if she lost ten children.
"Morales, Morgan, where are you?" Her voice had turned hoarse from all the shouting, but still, she did not find them.
By now, Hanson and Vania had made their way over, along with Hanson's men.
They quickly locked down the amusement park and sent out over a hundred people to search for the boys.
Just then, a hysterical Melanie ran into Hanson and Vania, who were also frantically searching for the boys.
With a tear-streaked face, Melanie said to Hanson, "Hanson, I made a mistake. You can go ahead and punish me. I just missed the boys too much, so that's why I brought them to the amusement park."
She muttered guiltily, "I just looked away for one second and they were gone. I didn't do it on purpose."
Hanson slapped Melanie's hand away to stop her from clutching his clothes.
He grabbed her by the neck and growled, "If we don't find the boys today, you've got hell to pay."
Melanie was already terrified, and Hanson's ominous voice sent chills down her spine.
She was shaking like a leaf and her lips were white as she insisted, "No, we'll definitely find them. They'll definitely be fine. Nothing will happen to them."
Her words were meant to calm herself down, and also to keep Hanson from blowing up.
Hanson's eyes were screaming bloody murder and he wanted nothing more than to cause a world of pain for Melanie right now.
Vania swiftly put a stop to this. "Now is not the time to stand around and talk about this. We need to focus on locating the boys."
Hanson released Melanie and glowered at her warningly. She may still be alive right now, but she would be paying the price for her actions once the boys were found.
Once he let go, Melanie gasped as she tried to catch her breath, but her eyes were filled with terror.
Everyone that Hanson had brought with him was now combing through the amusement park to find the boys.
Meanwhile, Morales and Morgan were being dragged off by a menacing-looking woman.
They were behind an ornamental structure and she gripped their arms tightly as she tried to take them away.
