In the huge bus station, a mother was carrying her son out of the bus with teary eyes. 'I'm back,' the woman whispered in her heart as she gazed at the boisterous city. The little boy beside her eyed the crowds curiously as he dug his fingers into his palm. 'Daddy, I'm here. Just wait and see,' he thought.
Yvonne held her son's hand. This place had invaded her dreams and her nightmares, and she couldn't help herself but to return. It was here when she had made love to a man she didn't even know. He left her without saying anything, but he did leave her the most sweetest thing in her life right now, her son.
Yvonne couldn't help but pinch her son's chubby little cheeks. He just looked so adorable. It was a wonder how she could help create this beautiful boy.
Jacob Ye stared at his mother helplessly. Although he hated getting his cheeks pinched, he had to stand it because of his mother.
Seeing this, she withdrew her hand. Yvonne gazed at the station, pursing her lips when she couldn't see the person she was looking for. "Honey, why hasn't your godmother come yet? Give her a call."
Jacob Ye rolled his eyes playfully. He had always wondered how his mother would live without him. He grabbed the phone and called his godmother, warning her jokingly that if she didn't pick them up now then, his mother might be taken away in an instant.
While he was making the call, Yvonne lowered her head from the sun, blocking her face from its burning rays.
Suddenly, a loud commotion broke through the peaceful street. As soon as Yvonne turned to grab her son, she saw that he had gone missing!
"Mommy!" Jacob Ye screamed, capturing her attention in an instant.
Yvonne threw her luggage to the side before rushing towards her son.
Although Jacob Ye was being taken by an unknown man, there was no trace of panic in his gaze. In fact, he even looked calm. When the man was about to cross the road, Jacob glanced at the group of officers ahead. "Mommy, help! Help–"
Noel and Charles Chu were discussing about their field training when they heard a scream at the other end of the road. Their head snapped up in attention as they straightened their back, following the source of the scream.
Seeing that a woman was chasing after him, the man ran out of the sidewalk and onto the road regardless of the incoming cars.
"Jacob!" Yvonne screamed desperately. She didn't even bother to look at the cars as she was about to step out of the sidewalk.
Charles and Noel shared a look and nodded. While Charles grabbed Yvonne before she could rush out, Noel raced down the road. Soon enough, he finally caught up to the man. He grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back, taking the child with ease. He held the child with one hand and kicked the man towards the other side of the road. Such a scumbag shouldn't hinder the traffic.
The green light lit up, and Charles finally released Yvonne. She stumbled over to her son and held him tightly in her arms. "You scared the hell out of me." Her voice was already trembling as she gripped him even tighter.
Jacob patted his mother on the back. "Mommy, I'm fine. Don't worry," he said softly. However, there was a small smile that threaded across Jacob's lips as he gazed at the situation he had gotten himself into. 'Daddy, you're so hard to find, but it seems it didn't take me a minute of arriving here to finally see you,' he thought.
The man was about to run away when Charles held him down, glancing up at Noel. Noel seemed to be staring into space, as if he had just been frozen in time. It was rare for Charles to see his boss in such a daze.
Yvonne finally came to her senses and stomped over to the man with her son in her arms. As she stared down at the man, she kicked him on the shins. "How dare you take my son?" she demanded. "How dare you?"
