The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 15

At the preschool gate.

In front of so many parents, my own son, again and again, denied that I was his mother.

Over and over, he insisted that Luna was his mom.

Even though my heart was already shattered and bleeding, I tried to remind myself that he was just a kid, unaware of the consequences of his words.

"Nigel! I'm giving you one more chance to choose!"

"Take a good look at me, calm down, and think it through. Between her and me, who should you really choose?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Nigel.

Hiding behind Luna, Nigel pressed his forehead against her back. "Of course, I choose my mom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luna gave me a puzzled look, then tried to leave with Nigel in her arms. "What a lunatic."

Of course, I couldn't let her go. I hurried to catch up, to stop them.

But someone stood in my way.

I grew somewhat hysterical, "I need to go after my child. You can't stop me!"

Their conversation was full of disdain for me.

"Have kidnappers really become this brazen?"

"Yeah, she looks so frantic. Anyone who didn't know better would think she's the child's mom."

"Exactly!"

"We all need to be more careful from now on!"

Everyone else watched in silence.

Their scornful gaze fell on me.

I couldn't care less at that moment and was desperate to follow them, but no matter which direction I ran, someone would come after me, blocking my path.

Until the police arrived, and Luna had vanished.

Only then did the crowd disperse.

A concerned bystander rushed to the officer, "Officer, you wouldn't believe how bold this kidnapper was today."
