Chapter 1148 Tell the Truth

Alistair swallowed nervously, his face turning extremely pale. He pressed his entire back against the

wall of the courtyard, hoping to feel a little bit safer.

His cheeks puffed up, and he retorted without showing any weakness, "You stupid pig! If my Dad knew

you were treating me like this, he wouldn't let you off the hook!"

Barrel's face was full of anger, "How dare you humiliate me, you little brat!"

He strode over with big steps and reached out his arm to grab Alistair.

Alistair wasn't about to let him catch him easily. He fiercely bit down on his arm.

Barrel winced in pain and was getting even more furious, nearly losing his temper. He lifted the little

guy with one hand and said, "Dare to mess with me!"

Just as he was about to throw him down...

"Let him go!"

Mavis ran forward like crazy, her Alistair was just ahead of her, and she finally found him.

"Stop right there! Anyone who comes closer, I'll kill him instantly!" Barrel was clearly panicking, holding

Alistair tightly in his hands.

"I dare anyone to try."

Chad flashed his identification, "I'm Chad White, Deputy Director of NIB. This is intentional harm, and

you even dared to lay hands on a hostage in front of me. I can have snipers take you out right now.

Your only chance is to release the hostage."

As soon as these words were spoken, Barrel and Mando looked around the park anxiously.

The location was desolate with trees surrounding it, which was indeed advantageous for snipers to

conceal themselves.

However, in reality, the situation was urgent. Chad and his team were the first to find Alistair, but their

subordinates had not caught up yet. There was no defense implemented in the dark to protect the

hostage.

Barrel was afraid, his spine was chilled. "Brother, he's from NIB! What should we do..."

Once they were caught, they were done.

Mando had seen many tough situations and was much calmer than Barrel. "Whoever he is, the kid's in

our hands!"

"Let's chat!" Mando pretended to be calm. As long as the child was in their hands, they had bargaining

chips to negotiate terms.

Anthony suppressed the anger in his heart and held onto Mavis, whose eyes were red and hands were

trembling with anxiety. He tried to communicate with them as calmly as possible, "What do you want?

Money?"

"Ah yes, we want money. We are kidnapping. How much are you prepared to pay?" Mando simply

followed her words, and thus cleared the young lady of suspicion.

"Sure, you guys name a number."

As Anthony spoke, the man beside him suddenly rushed past at lightning speed.

Barrel screamed and his hand was forced to release Alistair. Anthony took the opportunity to grab his

son back and delivered a powerful kick to Barrel's stomach, causing him to almost vomit the food he

had just eaten.

"Mommy!"

"Alistair, are you okay?" Mavis took her beloved son from Anthony's arms and carefully checked for any

injuries.

Alistair's eyes were filled with tears, his beautiful blue eyes watery. He tried to hold back but eventually

couldn't help it and burst into tears. His little hands anxiously pulled at Mavis' clothes as he cried in

sadness.

"Wuwuwu, Mommy, I thought I would never see you again!"

Mavis' heart broke as she fought back tears while trying to comfort her devastated child.

The two culprits were taken away by NIB officers who arrived shortly after. Chad decided not to

immediately take Anthony with him for questioning so that he could stay with his family who had just

been reunited after such a traumatic experience.

On the way home in the car, Mavis didn't dare let go of Alistair's hand. The running and chasing in the

park had exhausted him so much that he fell asleep on her lap.

Mavis gently checked for any injuries on Alistair's body but found only minor bruises on his right cheek

which was swollen either from being hit or pinched. There were also red marks around his delicate

wrist where a rope had been tied tightly enough that it caused some bruising which even broke skin. It

was truly shocking!

Thankfully though they were all minor injuries and nothing too serious happened other than some

shock from what happened earlier.

In the car, there was a built-in small medical kit. Anthony opened it without a word and took out the

necessary medications one by one. Taking advantage of the fact that the little guy was asleep and

couldn't feel the pain, he gently disinfected and applied ointment to his son's wrist.

His movements were swift and steady, and Mavis silently watched.

It wasn't hard to guess how meticulous he had been in taking care of their son all these years on his

own.

After finishing up applying medicine onto Alistair's wounds, Anthony analyzed everything seriously, "I've

reviewed all the hospital surveillance footage and haven't found these two individuals. They didn't take

Alistair from the hospital, and besides, Alistair isn't foolish enough to go with strangers. There's

something suspicious about this situation." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Mmm." Mavis nodded solemnly while sighing deeply, "We're lucky we found out in time... If we came

later then things would have turned out much worse."

She gently stroked her child's swollen cheek feeling heartbroken inside.

"Mommy."

With a soft and gentle cry, Alistair's small hand grasped Mavis' fingertips. He slowly opened his eyes

and looked at Mavis' face.

Mavis said, "Alistair, why wake up? How about sleep again?"

Alistair shook his head, remembering something very important. He urgently wanted to tell Mavis and

Anthony.

"Mommy, Uncle Moore and Aunt Bryleigh are in cahoots. They're bad guys who want to break you and

DadDY apart. They were discussing a plot to frame Daddy at the hospital, but I heard everything."

He sat up from Mavis' arms and explained seriously.

"Moore and Bryleigh are involved?" Mavis was taken aback but then remembered smelling Bryleigh's

perfume in Moore's hospital room last time she visited him.

The two rooms were close together so she thought it was just her imagination playing tricks on her.

Could it be that Bryleigh really went to see Moore?

Two people who had nothing to do with each other before were now seen by her son at the hospital...

Mavis couldn't help but look serious.

"Believe me. It's real. I saw it with my own eyes. And Uncle Moore's injury is also Aunt Bryleigh's doing

- she did it on purpose as part of her plan to frame Daddy."

Mavis comfortingly kissed Alistair on the forehead. "I will tell Chad everything you said so that NIB can

investigate as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Alistair snuggled into Mavis' arms while grumbling about those bad guys whenever he thought

of them.

"Alistair," Anthony called out next to him while straightening out the little guy's body so he could sit

properly while looking at him intently, "Did Bryleigh kidnap you when she found out that you overheard

their conversation?"

Alistair shook his head and said honestly, "When I heard them plotting against you, I got angry and

rushed in for confrontation. Who knew Bryleigh had kung fu skills? She knocked me unconscious after

just three moves."

Anthony frowned upon hearing this news before sternly educating him, "Do not forget how old you are

this year! They can even resort to framing me for their crimes; they certainly won't hesitate when

dealing with a child like you! You should take your safety more seriously!"
