“I’ll give you the treasure map.” Venus Mu took off her backpack, unzipping it, and handed him a small,
but delicately carved wooden box, “Here you are.”
The man in silver mask didn’t take it, and said indifferently, “Open it.”
Venus opened the small wooden box without any hesitation, and an old rolled parchment was inside.
The man’s eyes were glowing, reaching out to take it out, then carefully opened it…
Venus’s heart was beating faster again, wondering if the fake map could fool this cunning man in front
of her.
After getting the map, the man was no longer interested in her and strode back to the room to check
the two he had gotten earlier. In the living room, there were only Venus, Alisa and the child.
Venus was in relief and then threw the wooden box onto the floor. Then she kept gazing at the baby as
she stood by the stroller.
“Baby, I’m mommy, remember?” Venus whispered, tears overflowing her eyes and her voice trembling,
“Baby. mommy is back. Mommy will never leave you again.”
The mini Kerry stared at her for a moment, but still no reaction to her. Instead, both his hands reached
out to Alisa, who was standing beside Venus, babbling.
Venus could see the tenderness in Alisa’s eyes, though it was not often to see. Alisa tapped the baby’s
nose and whispered, “No hugging right now.”
The baby seemed to understand her words, dropping his hand and sulking with a pouted mouth.
“Don’t be a baby to me. You’re growing too fast for me to hug you.”
The child squinted, hearing these words.
Venus was painful inside, but she could only blame herself for the fact that the child had only been with
her for three days since he was born, and the rest of the time he had been with the masked man and
Alisa, who were of course much closer to them. She, the mother, was now just a stranger to him.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and before Venus got to know what was happening, she was
violently dragged up from the ground, “Why is the material of the treasure map different? I think you
just took a fake one to fool me.”
Venus’s eyes showed surprise, “I saw Kerry take this treasure map out of the vault and put it into the
secret place in the study with my own eyes, so how could it be fake?”
The man’s eyes were full of anger, “Do not lie to me. Although the route of the treasure map is right, the
material is not at all a year, so how do you explain this?”.
Venus was also anxious, “How do I know? I have never seen a real treasure map. The treasure map
you asked me to take from the vault is this one, and there is no other one. Also, it’s ridiculous to say
that it’s a fake just because the texture of the parchment is different. Have you seen a real one? Maybe
it is deliberately drawn on two parchments.”
Venus finished the speech without showing any panic, and she gave herself a thumb up inside.
The man gradually calmed down and loosen Venus’s arm, “It better be like you said, otherwise, I won’t
let you go.”
Venus was greatly relieved. Thank God.
“Alisa, take her away.”
Venus was desperate to hear this, “Wait, I thought you said you’d let me and the baby go.”
The man sneered, “Of course I will let you go, but I didn’t say when I would let you go. Miss Mu, stay
here, and when I find the treasure, you can go.”
“How despicable you are!” Venus was dazed with anger. This fucking bastard.
The man said icily, “Whatever you say, you won’t be able to leave anyway. I’ll remind you by the way,
there is only one island around five hundred miles. If you try to escape, you’ll die. Therefore, stay here
and be nice. If I can find the treasure, you’ll be free on that day.”
The man turned around after saying that, and Venus called out to him, “Wait a minute, I want to stay
with my child.”
“I’ll keep this promise. I don’t want to be his fake father.”
Venus was glad to hear this and now the result was the same as she had predicted before she came,
so there was no surprise or disappointment.
As long as she could stay with her child, where she was had been no longer that important to her.
“All right, come with me.”
Alisa was leading the way, and Venus pushed the stroller and grabbed her bag from the ground. After
turning a corner and passing a corridor, Alisa pushed open a door.
“This is where you’ll be staying. This is the baby-sitter’s room. She knows you’re coming today, so she
went home yesterday.” Alisa explained.
Venus looked around the house. It wasn’t very big, with children’s toys, milk powder and clothes
everywhere.
“Thank you.”
Alisa went to the table and took out a notebook from the drawer to her, “This is what the nanny left
before she left. It records the time of the baby’s meal and how much he eats, plus the time he sleeps,
shower and so on.”
Venus did not expect to have such a considerate nanny, feeling warm inside. From the detailed
records, she could see that the nanny should love her baby very much.
“Give me your bag.”
Venus didn’t refuse and gave it to her directly.
Alisa opened the bag, dumping all the things on the bed. They were all the daily necessities and
clothes.
“No need to search. The only communication device is on the yacht, nothing more.”
Alisa rolled her eyes, “Good. Ask me if you need anything. Right, don’t walk around this villa. There are
men all over who haven’t touched a lady for a long time. if one of them gets interested in you, I can’t
get you out. Boss has always been very forgiving of them.”
Venus looked at her with gratitude, “Alisa, thank you for telling me that.”
Alisa pouted, “I’m doing this for the baby’s sake, and it has nothing to do with you.” After saying this,
she was about to turn around and leave, when Venus stopped her again.
“Alisa, last time your boss sent me a picture, the baby had a very severe injury, why did I…”
Alisa looked at her with mockery, “Do you want your child to be beaten?”
“No, of course no.” Venus shook her hand, “I just feel a little strange.”
“Well, if he didn’t send you that, will you be here so soon?” Alisa didn’t answer her question directly, but
on her way out, Venus heard her mutter, “The baby is so cute, who would beat him?”
Venus was stunned for a few seconds. According to Alisa, the photo the man sent to her was fake? But
in the first video of the baby being thrown into the bath, she could see the face was the baby’s face and
the eyes were in different colors. As for the second one he sent over, it actually was not her baby, but
she just took it as him…
Thank God.
Venus stretched her body, bending down to see whether her child would say something to her or not,
but he just babbled. She had no experience in taking care of a baby before, so she just stood there. It’s
fortunate that the baby was a good boy, basically not crying.
When she watched her own child, Venus felt satisfied. She couldn’t get her eyes from him.
“Baby, it’s mommy, and we’ll never be apart again.” Venus finally said something and smiled gently, not
expecting the child to smile when she smiled, which made her very happy.
After a while, the child’s small face distorted, with her legs kept twisting, who seemed to have a hard
time. Venus was anxious, “Baby, what’s going on? How do you feel?”
The child, of course, did not answer her but babble.
She searched in the notebook, finding there was a paragraph that said in English that if he felt uneasy
or uncomfortable sometimes, he may pee his pants.
She carefully touched his buttocks, and it was wet.
She looked for the diaper in her room and took the baby out of the stroller and put him on the bed. She
didn’t know how to change it, but the instruction told her the steps. Venus knew some English and there
were some pictures as the guidance, so she can barely understand it.
When she was changing the diaper, Venus was so nervous that she was afraid that the baby would be
hurt, but she didn’t know that the baby was a living person, not a porcelain doll, and he wouldn’t get
hurt by her touch.
It took a long time for Venus to put on the diaper, and she was sweating all over.
Even though her child was already half a year old, she was a new mother, and she had much to learn.
When Kerry arrived in Honolulu, he was picked up by Nighthawk.
“Boss, nice to see you.”
Kerry tiredly nodded at him, turning on his phone and saw the last message sent by Venus, whose
heart ached.
“Boss, let’s find a place to rest first, since you’ve flew for so long.” Nighthawk said this with concern.
Kerry did not reply, but turned on the GPS app on the phone, and saw the constantly flashing red dot
on it. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
Venus was now on an island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, surrounded by the sea.
Kerry showed the phone to Nighthawk, “No more rest. Let’s get here.”
Nighthawk looked at it and said, “Boss, this place is at least five or six hours away from us by boat.
Why don’t you take a break, and I’ll go find a yacht?”
There were so many islands in the Pacific Ocean and only the larger ones have special ships for
transportation. As for such relatively distant private islands, owners had their own private planes or
yachts. Of course, most yacht would not go to a private island very far away. It was not safe, and it was
easy to get lost in the sea.
Kerry knew he was right, so he said, “Then just find a hotel.”
“Okay.” Nighthawk stopped a cab, and the driver took them up to a luxury hotel.
“Where are our men?” Kerry asked.
“Gather for more information.”
“Ask them to come here. No need to do more.” Kerry lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Nighthawk looked at his boss in surprise, but he didn’t ask any questions, “I see. Boss, you rest for a
while. I’ll go out and look for a yacht.”
Kerry said, “OK”. Though his eyes were closed, but he could not sleep. What was Venus doing now?
Did that asshole give her a hard time? Did she find the baby? Was there any danger?
Too many questions stuck in his head and he was about to go crazy.
