Chapter 5
The moment their eyes met, Charmine felt as though a warm feeling was spreading throughout her
being. It felt as though she was reunited with a person so dear to her. Chris Bailey—the little
boy—held onto Charmine and clung tightly to her.
“I was chasing a kitten before I came across you, Mom, but now I can’t find it,” the boy muttered. “But
I’m happy now, since I found you again!”
While this took Charmine by surprise, she soon recovered from the shock. Gently grabbing the boy by
his collar, she pushed him away. “I’m not your mother. Where are your parents? I’ll bring you to
them.”
The boy’s initial cheery expression then morphed into one of pain. Suddenly, the boy began to sob.
“Waa… My chest hurts…”
Charmine released his collar out of guilt, but before she could get a word out, the boy went right back
into her arms.
“My chest hurts… Hug… Mommy, hug…” The boy nestled further into the embrace.
Charmine was flabbergasted. Why would the parents leave such a cute boy behind?
Just when she was about to speak, a snake as thick as her wrist slithered into view, and it seemed to
aim for the boy’s ankle. With scales dark as ink, the snake’s sharp fangs were noticeable. No doubt, it
was a king cobra; one that could inflict fatality!
“Watch out!”
Charmine grabbed the boy with one hand and grabbed the snake with the other. Triggered by the
sudden movement, it turned toward Charmine and bit her instead. The snakebite gave her a sharp
pain, but she fought against it. Once she covered the boy’s eyes with one hand, Charmine swung the
snake at hand and smacked it against the cave.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Sounds of the snake slammed against the walls of the cave echoed, and before long, the snake went
limp as it died. Just as Charmine threw the cobra far away, her body started reacting to the toxin. She
went soft and slumped against the back of the cave once more.
As her hand dropped from covering the boy’s eyes, the boy cried, “Mommy, Mommy! Don’t scare
Momo…! Please don’t scare Momo! Wait here; Momo will go get Daddy!” Panicked, the boy ran out of
the cave as fast as he could.
Once he got out of the cave, he took out his phone and clicked on a chatroom. Once he sent his
location, he swiftly hit the ‘record’ button and whimpered, “Daddy, I’m here! I found Mommy, but a
snake had bitten her! She needs help!”
Anthony Bailey was searching the Jordan family’s mansion with his hundred or so bodyguards.
