- Kidnapped
Kara picked up the phone hastily. “Mom?”
“I’m sorry, Kara …. I’m sorry.”
Kara’s chest throbbed with pain when she heard her mother’s sobs. Her mouth was dry and her tongue was numb. “W-what’s wrong,
Mom? Why are you apologizing?”
“I just left for a moment to see the nurse. But, when I came back, Emily and Louis were no longer in the room.”
The world seemed to shake. Kara could no longer stand strong. If Frank hadn’t been quick to catch her, she would have landed on the
floor.
“Kara…. Oh my god!” Frank rushed to carry her to the sofa.
Meanwhile, Jeremy took over the phone. After hearing further explanation from Susan, he followed the others to the CEO’s room.
Frank was rubbing Kara’s arm. With a face as white as cotton, she looked very worrying. Moreover, she seemed having difficulty to catch
her breath.
“What happened?” Frank asked, immediately catching Kara’s
attention.
“Where are they?” she sighed while raising her head weakly.
Jeremy glanced at the CEO briefly. He knew the truth could no longer be hidden.
“The hospital has reported this. Police are tracking their
whereabouts.”
Kara closed her eyes again. The pressure in her head grew tens of

Meanwhile, Frank was still waiting for another explanation. However, Jeremy did not continue.
“Who are they?”
Jeremy took a deep breath. “Miss Martin’s children.”
Frank was speechless. He had refrained from asking that before. But apparently, the universe had an unexpected way of telling him.
“Kara’s children?” Frank repeated the answer with great emphasis.
With his mouth agape, he turned to Kara. The woman was already half conscious. Obviously, it wasn’t the right time to ask whether the children were the twins or not-the children he assumed were his
flesh and blood.
After blinking, Frank immediately pointed to the table. “Bring my phone here!”
One of the guards swiftly carried out the order. Without further ado, Frank checked the red dot he had been observing all day. As
expected, the location changed.
“I know where they are.”
Kara’s eyes were wide again. Hope had swept the heavy burden from
her mind. “Where?”
Frank showed her his phone. “They are on the road, moving to
somewhere.”
While shedding tears, Kara let out a sigh of laughter. Her hands were now gripping Frank’s suit. “Please take me there. I have to save them.”
Frank could feel the vibrations in Kara’s grip. Holding those icy hands, he nodded. “Let’s save them.”

Louis awoke to intense pain. While holding his left hand, he grimaced. However, once he realized he was in a strange place, he immediately ignored the pain.
“Where are we?”
His sister didn’t answer. She was still asleep with the lemon plush in
her arms.
Frowning, Louis looked around. There wasn’t much he could observe. The walls around them were covered in red curtains. However, he
knew that the chair they were sitting in was a car seat.
“Emily, it looks like we’re kidnapped.”
Carefully, Louis pulled aside the curtain beside him. As he peeked out, the pile of colorful containers immediately caught his round eyes.
“Wow that’s cool!”
A second later, he started shaking Emily’s body. “Emily, wake up! You
have to see what’s outside!”
Emily started to furrow her brows. Rubbing her eyes, she straightened her back from the backrest.
“Is it morning yet?”
Louis gasped. “Don’t you remember? We were captured by a bad guy.”
Emily blinked to gather consciousness. When she saw the red curtain around her, she immediately leaned closer to Louis and pouted. ” Mommy….”
Louis quickly covered his younger sister’s mouth. “Hush! Don’t cry. The bad guy will hear.”
With tears hanging from her eyes, Emily nodded. “I’m scared, Louis. I

“I know you’re scared. I am too. But we don’t need to panic. Mommy will definitely come to save us.”
As Emily nodded her head, a single tear fell. Louis quickly wiped it
away.
“Now look outside! There’s a cool view there.”
Without letting go of Yemon, Emily shifted towards the curtain. After poking her head behind it, she muttered, “Ship.”
“Ship?”
Louis got out of the seat and took a peek. Apparently, the window showed a different view. There was a huge ship with the open sea
behind it.
“This is a harbor,” Emily said dryly.
Louis agreed, but didn’t have time to say yes. His focus was fixed on
a man dressed as a nurse. He was talking to a group of men in suits.
“That’s the villain!”
“Villain?” Emily raised an eyebrow.
“You really forgot? He was the one who covered your mouth with a handkerchief.”
The little girl shook her head weakly. “He covered my mouth from behind. How could I see him?”
“You’re right,” Louis muttered, pursing his lips. “But now, you’ve seen him. You can be more careful, Emily.”
Emily’s expression didn’t change. She didn’t seem to care about the villain. “I want to go home.”
Louis stroked her cheek. “Me too, but let’s be patient! Mommy will
ty pick us up. Now, we have to run away num

find a safe place.”
“Like in the storybook?”
Louis’ eyes lit up with enthusiasm. “Yeah! We can do what the brave child did in that story.”
Even though his hand was still in a cast, Louis moved swiftly towards the other door. “Remember, Emily. We have to move quickly. Once you get out, run to a safe place. I’ll follow.”
Emily hugged Yemon tighter, shaking her head quickly. “No, I don’t want to run. I don’t know where to go.”
“Then, I’ll go down first. You have to move quickly behind me. Understand?”
The little girl nodded hesitantly.
“You are ready?” Louis opened the door lock button.
Emily could feel her heart pounding in her chest. However, she still got out of the seat and stood behind Louis.
“Ready.”
Louis opened the door. He sat on the edge of the car then jumped to the ground.
Emily followed that method. However, her legs were not as strong as Louis’. She fell down and Yemon rolled on the ground. “Akh!”
“Emily….” Louis stopped running. He returned to help his sister.
“Yemon.” Emily looked around.
Louis grimaced slightly. They had to move quickly, but Emily’s favorite plush fell apart.
“That’s it. Come on quickly!”

The twins ran towards Yemon, picked him up, then moved straight towards the narrow path between the piles of containers. They didn’t realize that they were no longer covered by the car. The people on the ship stared wide-eyed at their actions.
“Damn brat!”
The kidnapper immediately forgot about negotiations. He ran along the deck then got off the ship.
The man in suit didn’t want to lose. He wouldn’t have to pay a high price if his men could capture the twins. “Chase them!”
In an instant, a group of people were racing to hunt down the twins.

The more time passed, the harder Kara’s body trembled. She had tried various ways to reduce it, but failed.
Frank could feel the vibrations. He really wanted to stroke Kara’s arm or hold her hand tightly. However, he had to focus on the road if he wanted to arrive quickly.
“Calm down, Kara. We’ve sent the police there. The children will be
safe.”
Kara was speechless. She just nodded with red eyes.
Actually, Frank’s feelings were also mixed. There were many things he wanted to know, but couldn’t ask yet. He couldn’t even confirm whether the children were Louis and Emily, whether they were his flesh and blood. His mind was too full of guesses. He realized it was better to find the answer with his own eyes.
