My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 412

Auntie Valerie's heart skipped a beat. She pushed open the door frantically and went in.

Her daughter-in-law, Nancy, was sitting on the floor, crying at the top of her lungs, and her son was standing there pounding his head hard. Auntie Valerie panicked as she rushed in and asked.

"What's going on?"

When Nancy saw Auntie Valerie, she ran over desperately as though she had seen an angel.

"Mom, Weldon is missing!"

Auntie Valerie felt a buzz in her head, "What?"

"Weldon is missing!" Auntie Valerie's son, Tom, repeated, "I went to pick him up from school today, but the school informed us that someone had already picked him up. I begged the teacher to check on the school's surveillance, but they couldn't find anything. Weldon is really missing!"

Nancy cried at the top of her voice, "If anything were to happen to Weldon, I won't be able to live anymore!"

Auntie Valerie was shocked. The fruits in her hands fell to the ground with a clatter.

Nancy looked at the fruits and suddenly shouted as though she had remembered something, "Mom, you have to call Mr. Granger right now! He has a lot of connections. He could definitely help us to rescue Weldon." Auntie Valerie was still in shock as she nodded her head in panic. At this moment, she had no choice but to look for Amos. Worst- case scenario, she would just repay Amos' favor with her entire life.

With trembling hands, she took her phone out. Auntie Valerie dialed Amos' number frantically, but another call came in before she could even make the call.

Auntie Valerie scrambled to the phone, then came Weldon's cry for help.

"Grandma, I'm so scared! Save me, Grandma!"

Auntie Valerie's heart almost went to her throat as she shouted, "Who are you?"

Soon, she heard a gruff male voice. It was a voice that Auntie Valerie had never heard before, "Your grandson is in my hands. If you want him alive, then listen to me and do one thing."

Auntie Valerie's heart was pounding vigorously, and her ears were filled with the loud cries of her grandson. Although their family conditions were average at best, Weldon was her darling. How could she not be anxious when she heard him shouting in fear?

"What do you want me to do?"

The other party seemed satisfied with Auntie Valerie's answer and he immediately smiled, "It's simple! Aren't you currently working as a maid in the Granger family?"

Auntie Valerie gasped, "Who are you?"

The other party knew that she was working as a maid in the Granger family, which meant that the other party must be targeting Amos. The reason why they caught Weldon was to threaten her in order to harm Amos and Eudora.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to remember that I have your grandson with me. I'm not a kind person. If I get into a bad mood, I might accidentally hurt your grandson. You'd better not regret it then. I've heard that children's kidneys are very popular in the black market right now..."

The other party's words terrified Auntie Valerie and her family. They all took a deep gasp of cold air.

"No!" Nancy kept crying, "Don't touch my son. Let's discuss calmly instead of resorting to violence, alright?"

Tom also pleaded with Auntie Valerie, "Mom, could you please save Weldon? Weldon is your own grandson!"

Auntie Valerie took a deep breath and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's not difficult, just a couple of words will do," The other party laughed, "I heard that Amos' wife has lost her memories, right? Do you know anything about that?"

Auntie Valerie was dumbfounded, "I'm just a maid. Plus, I wasn't in Rosaville City when it happened."

The other party was satisfied, "That's more like it. To be honest, we don't want anything gory to happen either! I'll give you half a day, and I want an answer by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, your grandson..."

Auntie Valerie said frantically, "No, half a day isn't enough. Miss George usually sleeps until late morning. How about two days?"

The other party replied dismissively, "Alright, I'm fine with a few days. However, it's hard to tell if your grandson will be able to stay alive after starving for a few days!"

Auntie Valerie's heart tightened again, "Give him some food..."

"It depends on your behavior! And, if you dare to tell Amos about this, I'll guarantee that you'll be preparing for your grandson's funeral!"

After that, the other party hung up the phone immediately.

Auntie Valerie instinctively dialed back, only to realize that the person's number was hidden.

The three sat there, disoriented for a moment. After some time, Auntie Valerie took out her cell phone again, "Let's call the police..."

Tom and Nancy instantly grabbed her hand, "Mom, don't be silly! Do you really want Weldon dead?"

"Weldon is your own grandson. Isn't he more precious than the Madam you've just mentioned?"

Auntie Valerie bit her lip and said, "You don't understand. Both Mr. and Mrs. Granger have been so good to us and they even helped you secure a job. How could we be so ungrateful? If I were to tell her the truth, how will the Madam react to it?"

"Then, are you going to watch your son and grandson die?" Tom suddenly shouted, "If you don't save Weldon, then I will die alongside Weldon as well!"

Nancy immediately stood up and said, "Me too."
