"Miss Emily, Master Hunter really meant no harm. This is a misunderstanding."
How could Liam bear to see Master Hunter being misunderstood and wronged?
He hurried over and said, "We saw human traffickers. It was Master Hunter who rescued Miss Basia from those men."
"'Do you expect me to believe it?" Emily wouldn't believe a word he was saying.
"Miss Emily..."
"Stop it!" Emily looked at him coldly. "Liam, you have been very kind to me in the past. I am grateful to you, but please stop being such a bully for your Master Hunter. You would also have family in the future."
In broad daylight, they did abduct other people's daughter!
They didn’t know how anxious and desperate she was when she found out that Basia was really gone.
They had never been the parents of a child, and they had never experienced such a terrible feeling!
"Miss Emily, it's really not us..."
"Mr. White, they've caught that woman!" In the distance, the two men hurried up, out of breath.
"Mr. White, Master Hunter, we have... got that woman!"
Liam’s eyes lit up and he looked at Emily. "It is a woman who tried to sell Miss Basia to a trafficker. Now they've caught her. You are Basia’s mother, you should go and see."
The woman trying to sell Basia turned out to be Billie.
Billie was in tears. She didn't know if she was afraid or guilty.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson. I'm really sorry. I can't help it. My mother is dying, I'm sorry! I really need the money..."
Emily had no sympathy for her.
Everyone would be short of money, everyone had their own untold pain and helplessness, but this was not an excuse for her to do bad things!
Billie was taken away by the police, and Emily and Terry took statements.
And Hunter, because he saved Basia, he had to go to the police station as well.
It was after four o 'clock in the afternoon when they came out of the police station.
Basia's stomach started crying again.
As soon as she was hungry, she would reach out to Hunter. "Daddy, eat, eat..."
Kids were easy to hungry. It was less than five hours and she started to be hungry again.
Emily immediately grabbed her back. "Mommy would take you to eat."
She looked at Terry and wanted to remind him that it was time to pick up Chester.
But Hunter and Liam were here, and she didn't want to talk about Chester.
Chester was more like Hunter than Basia, especially his characters, which was a miniature version of Hunter.
If Hunter met Chester, she didn’t know what was going to happen.
She couldn't afford to risk losing two children, not even a little bit.
"Basia, Daddy and Mommy will take you home to eat."
Terry went to get the car at once.
Emily tried to follow him, but Hunter's voice was heard behind, "Basia was saved by me."
Emily stumbled, hesitated for a long time, then finally turned around and looked at him. "I am sorry, I misunderstood you, and thank you for saving Basia, but..."
There was no expression in her face.
It had been two years and everything had passed. She should not let those feelings linger in her heart.
"But please don't bother us again, thank you!" she said with a deadpan look.
Terry pulled the car over and Emily took Basia in her arms and climbed onto it as fast as she could.
Basia leaned over the door just before the window was closed, looked at Hunter and mouthed, "Daddy..."
"He's not your father!"
Then the window was closed.
Hunter remained where he was, quietly watching them leave.
"Master Hunter..." Liam didn't know what he was thinking.
However, they had been looking for Emily for two years. Were they really not going to catch up with her at this time?
But Emily was with Terry and had a baby girl...
