Chapter 105 An Accomplice

Actually, Chase didn’t want to use a child to threaten the mother either, but Madeline was the only breakthrough. They had no choice.

Madeline sobbed as she pulled out her phone and scrolled through her oto album.

It was obvious the pictures were taken in secret. They all showed the same child, dressed in different outfits, playing at school.

Since Madeline had to work and her husband was away on a project, their three–year–old had been sent to a full–time daycare. She picked him up right after work.

The child looked a lot like Madeline.

Madeline nearly fainted from crying. Chase rubbed her back gently, handed her phone to Waylon, then switched out her cup and pushed a warm mug into her hands. “Drink some water,” he said calmly. “Take your time. Telling us the truth is also a way to save your child. You can’t believe people like that will protect him. Tell Mr. Fred everything.”

After drinking half the water, Madeline’s sobs started to ease.

“It was about six months ago,” she began, her voice still shaky. “I ran into someone on my way to work. This phone wasn’t even mine–it was his. He dropped it, and I picked it up to give it back, but when I chased after him, he was gone.”

“Anyone coming to the hospital must be a patient,” she continued. “Not having a phone would drive someone crazy. I wanted to leave it at the nurses‘ station for him to claim.”

“But halfway there, the phone rang.”

She had assumed it was the owner’s friend calling, so she answered right away.

“It was a man’s voice,” she said, eyes wide with memory. “He told me to open the photo album.”

The man’s voice was strange and mysterious. Madeline was stunned on the spot.

She didn’t know why, but she really did open it. And what she saw scared her so badly, she dropped the phone.

It was pictures of her son.

Madeline turned to Chase. At the moment, he was the only person she trusted. “He was wearing the same clothes from this morning. It was a photo of him eating at school. It must’ve been taken in the afternoon, around three or four. Which means whoever it was had taken the photo and rushed straight to me.”

After she saw the picture, she stood there frozen. She had no idea what to do.

She spaced out for a long time. Then the phone rang again.

This time, she answered right away. It was still that same man.

“Find a quiet place,” he said. “We need to talk. If you want your son to be safe, you’d better do what I say.”
