Chapter 156
At first, Alexander also thought that there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that the kidnappers were audacious and reckless. But as time went by, he became increasingly uncertain and afraid that they might be his enemies.
He feared that one day there would be a box at the door, containing the bodies of the girls or some body
parts.
The current situation was like throwing a stone into water, without any echo. No one knew what was happening beneath the surface.
Alexander’s once proud patience and rationality collapsed as time passed. He dared not sleep, for whenever he did, the bloodshed he had experienced in the past would transform into Aveline and Jamie.
On the seventh day, Alexander finally collapsed. He hadn’t eaten or drunk for several days, nor had he slept.
He watched the surveillance footage over and over again, causing his eyes to become bloodshot. The people he sent out also didn’t bring back any useful information.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jordan discovered Alexander unconscious in the bathroom and quickly called the family doctor.
No one expected that at this moment, Aveline would quietly return to City A with Jamie.
Jamie thought that she had brought him to another place to play, but little did he know that this time it was a farewell.
There had been a heavy snowfall in City A these past two days, and the tree branches were covered in
snow.
Aveline made a snow rabbit on a chair, making Jamie smile from ear to ear.
This child, he was extremely adorable. Aveline liked him to the extreme.
Reluctantly, she touched Jamie’s head and said, “Little darling, Auntie has to say goodbye to you. Be a good boy and go home to find your mommy, grow up well.”
Jamie felt that something was wrong. Aveline handed him a helium balloon, and the child’s gaze was instantly captivated by it.

But just then, she quickly let go of him. Jamie felt that she was leaving, so he immediately let go of the balloon and ran towards her, shouting. “Mommy, mommy…”
He hadn’t run more than a few steps when he fell heavily into the snow. Even so, he didn’t give up. Ignoring the cold snow, he continued crawling towards Aveline.
He didn’t understand what he had done wrong, why his mommy suddenly didn’t want him anymore.
“Mommy!” He could only watch helplessly as Aveline walked faster and faster until she disappeared from
his sight.
Helen heard the crying and wondered why there would be a child crying on such a snowy day.
She followed the sound of the crying and was shocked to see Jamie. “Sir… Sir Jamie!”
She couldn’t believe that she, who hadn’t found a trace of the person Alexander had searched for tirelessly, had found him just by going out to buy groceries for work.
“Hey, my little Jamie, if you don’t come back soon, your father will be worried to death.”
While carrying Jamie, Helen told Jordan about finding the child.
Aveline only left after seeing this scene.
Alexander’s high fever didn’t subside, and he kept calling Aveline’s name, “Aveline, Aveline.”
Helen happily brought the child back, his eyes still wet with tears.
“Good baby, don’t cry. Go and see your father.” Helen wiped away the tears from the child’s eyes, feeling heartbroken.
Alexander slowly opened his eyes as if sensing something. When he saw Jamie, he thought he was dreaming.
“Daddy.” Jamie could clearly call out his name now, and Alexander immediately hugged the child tightly.
Joy of regaining what was lost filled his heart. He hurriedly looked at Helen and asked, “What happened?”
Helen slapped her thigh and began to excitedly explain, “I had a dream last night. I dreamt that I found an egg, guess what was inside the eggshell? It was little Jamie. So I figured I would be able to find him soon, and the result…”
Alexander furrowed his brow. “Why don’t you start from the beginning of time? Get to the point.”
