Patrick glanced at her and tried to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. He let out a sarcastic laugh, turned around, and headed upstairs.
Sophia plopped back onto the couch. She was scared and didn't dare think about the consequences!

"Don't talk nonsense! How are you going to save two kids all by yourself? Tell me where it is, and then hide somewhere until help arrives!"

"Don't worry, as soon as we find their location, I'll get the kids out safely!"
"Okay, I'll send you the location now."
Leah sent a text to Sophia.
Sophia was thrilled, clutching her phone as she ran upstairs, "Darling, darling, we've got a lead on the kids. Get Emmett to go save Aiden and Alex!"
"Really?" Patrick rushed out of the bedroom at the news, "Give me the phone!"
