“Damn it! Hayden is in danger!” Mike exclaimed, “Avery, wait for me in the car! I’ll go look for him!”
Mike quickly parked the car by the side of the road and pressed the emergency button before running
toward the metro stop.
Hayden had a holiday that day. The summer camp bus stopped them all at a huge mall near the subway
station.
Hayden bought a gift for his mother. While paying, he realized that someone was secretly observing him.
He came out of the mall and walked over to the subway station. Who knew that the person followed him
too? Thus, he was sure that he was being followed.
Avery could not even sit still in the car and wait. After Mike got out of the car, she got out of the car too
and strode toward the subway station.
The bodyguard was holding onto her while persuading her, “Miss Tate, be careful of the child in your
tummy! If you go into labor, are you planning to have the child on the streets?”
Initially, Avery did not feel anything in her tummy. When she heard what the bodyguard said, her tummy
hurt a little.
She stopped in her tracks and clutched her tummy. “Go and quickly find Hayden! What would Mike do
alone! What if he was incd danger!”
The bodyguard could not just abandon her like that. “The subway station has a lot of guards. They will be
fine.”
“No! I must go in and see!” Avery held onto the bodyguard’s arm and continued walking toward the
subway9e station.
At that moment, Mike carried Hayden and walked out.
The moment Avery saw them both, her suspended heart finally dropped.
“Avery, didn’t I ask you to wait in the car? Why did you run out?” Mike walked over to her, panting, “Let’s
get in the car first!”
After getting in the car, Avery immediately hugged Hayden sideways. “Hayden, are you alright? I’m sorry
I didn’t come to pick you up earlier…”
“Mommy, I’m fine. I accidentally pressed the button on my watch,” Hayden said and took out the gift he
bought for her from his bag. “When I bought this gift for you, I accidentally pressed it.”
Avery accepted the gift, still worried. “Don’t lie to me. This has never happened before.”
“I never bought a gift on my own before either.” Hayden smiled a rare smile.
a
“As long as you’re fine. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to have a good meal.
“Hmm. Mommy, open the gift.”
Avery immediately opened the gift. It was a butterfly hair clip that could move. It was extremely adorable.
“I love it.” She said and pinned it on her hair. “Did you get one for Layla too?”
“Hmm, it’s in my bag.”
“I feel so blessed to have you.”
At night, after Avery returned to her room to rest, Mike entered Hayden’s room. He locked the door from
inside and cut to the chase. “It’s one thing to lie to your mother. Are you trying to lie to me? Tell me
quickly, what’s going on?”.
Hayden said, “If I tell you, you can’t tell Mommy.”
“Of course! Don’t you trust me?” Mike stood in front of Hayden and asked, “Did you get yourself into
trouble?”
“When I was investigating Nora, I realized that she had visited a strange webpage. I entered and realized
it was the dark web.” Hayden said in a low voice.
“What kind of dark web?”
“I don’t understand some of it. Some of it is human trafficking.” Hayden paused for a while. “I blew up this
dark web, but some of my information got leaked.”
Mike said sternly, “You’re too impulsive! You should have told me first.”
“I was scared to death by the content of the page.” Hayden still found it scary at the thought of it. “I will
find a way to solve this. Don’t let Mommy know.”
