Morales and Morgan were putting up a strong fight, so the woman had not been able to get them very far.
She came to the amusement park with the intention of kidnapping several children to traffick them off to the highest bidder.
While eyeing the crowd for a good target, she spotted the two boys' good looks and she was certain they would fetch a high price.
Therefore, as soon as Melanie's attention slipped for a moment, she covered their mouths and dragged them off to hide behind an ornamental structure nearby.
The boys kept trying to scream, but there were too many people in the amusement park and there were many children who cried and threw tantrums, so no one noticed them behind this secluded decoration.
Just as the woman was about to continue dragging them off, Morgan bit down on her hand as hard as he could.
The woman yelped in pain and let go at once.
The boys immediately ran off and shouted, "Help! Help!"
"That does it. How dare you bite me? Stand right there!" The woman chased after them.
The bodyguards who had been searching for the kids heard the ruckus and turned to look. As soon as they spotted the boys, they yelled, "Over here! The little masters are over here!"
Their yells brought everyone over at once.
When Morales and Morgan saw what was happening, they knew that their father must have come to rescue them. "Mister, please save us!"
The woman never expected to see so many people rushing over to her. She realized that the plan had gone south, so she tried to hightail it out of here.
However, there was no chance for escape as a few moments later, she was tackled to the ground.
Just then, Hanson, Vania, and Melanie all came running over as well.
The moment Vania saw the two boys, she sprinted over and hugged them close.
For some reason, her heart was aching in a way that she had never felt before.
She managed to keep unusually calm when she first heard that the boys had gone missing, but now that they were found, all her emotions seemed to burst out of her as she hugged them tightly.
"You scared me half to death…" She kept repeating these words as she checked all over to make sure they were unharmed. Finally, her heart fell back in place.
Her eyes were dark and menacing as she stared at the woman who kidnapped them. When she thought about how her own children had suffered such an ordeal as well, she declared icily, "Anyone who tries to harm my children will have to pay for it with their life."
She instructed the bodyguards, "Send her to the police station. They'll know what to do."
The woman was petrified by Vania's ice-cold expression. She was too terrified to speak, and the bodyguards dragged her away at once.
As for Melanie, she was able to regain some composure when she saw that the kids were fine. She began to weep and wail in front of them.
After reuniting with their family, Morales and Morgan began to cry too as reality began to sink in.
Hanson's face was dark as night. He pushed Melanie aside and rebuked them, "Who gave you permission to leave the house?"
The boys began to cry even harder once Hanson began scolding them.
Vania immediately urged Hanson, "The children just had such a fright. You shouldn't scare them like that. We should bring them to the hospital for a check-up and see if they're hurt in any way. Everything else can wait until we get home."
She kneeled in front of Morales and Morgan and said, "Don't worry darlings. Everything will be fine when I'm here."
Truth be told, Hanson's rebuke was just his way of letting out the fear that was beginning to sink into him as well. He let his temper get the better of him.
Once Vania chided him, his expression softened and he apologized to the boys. "I shouldn't have spoken so harshly. Let's go for a check-up now."
Melanie followed closely behind them.
However, she jumped in fright when Hanson turned around all of a sudden. He said, "From now on, you're not allowed to show up in front of the boys ever again."
