He even ordered one serving of food from the owner for both of them to share.

After all, John did not have much money. All the money he was left with had been given to his wife and his son.

Chloe said, “I'm hungry. I want milk!"

"What milk? Isn't this food?” John hit the plates with the spoon.

He had already given her half of the food. What more did she want?

“It's not tasty!”

“There's meat, greens...” John thought it made sense as well. She was Anthony's child, so she certainly had been having a feast every meal. She certainly would not fancy all these foods. She could even tell that it was not tasty just by looking at it. Just make do with it a little!”

“I don't want to!"

John had a headache. “Fine, fine, fine, I'll go get you some milk.”

He then went to buy a bottle of milk for her from the owner of the motel.

While Chloe drank the milk, she looked at John eating the food, and then she asked, ” Can you stomach that?”

"A person can stomach anything when he’s hungry.”

The room was small and only had one bed.

John let Chloe sleep in the inner half of the bed to prevent her from falling off of it.

Just as they laid down, they heard a continuous sound coming from the room next door.

Chloe opened her mouth wide as she was curious. “What's that sound?”

John replied to her with annoyance, “Just sleep!”

“Is something big happening? That girl is screaming very pitifully!” Chloe asked curiously.

After a while, she asked again, “Will the girl die?”

John was annoyed by her questions and the people next door, so he directly carried

Chloe out of there. “Let's go, let's go. Let's go outside for a walk.”

The two of them, an adult and a child, sat on a hill and looked at the sky with their faces lifted. "Wow, the stars are so pretty!” Chloe's pretty eyes were also as bright as the stars.

Looking at her innocent look, John could not help but feel emotional. “My son is older than you. He already started going to school. I wonder if he's asleep now or if he’s naughty and not listening to his mother... truth be told, you're really good at picking the family to be born into. You managed to be Mr. Marwood's child. You're born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you possess things that others would not even dare to dream of. I envy you on my son's behalf.”

Chloe did not quite understand what she heard and said with a dejected expression,” I can change my place with your son because I only want Mama...”

John thought that children would be children. They did not know how important money was to a person.

He did not discuss this with her. After all, they were not from the same startling line, so there was a huge generational gap.

“Mr. Walker, call my mama, alright? I miss her. I miss Papa too. I miss my brothers as well..." Tears were welling in Chloe's eyes.

John looked at her pitiful face and said, “How about you cooperate with me? I'll get my money and you go home to look for your mother. How about that?”

“I don't want to!"

John was speechless.

“Mama is still not back yet. I want to wait for Mama to appear! Call Papa and say you've chopped off my hand!” Chloe taught him.

“I...” Just as John wanted to say something, the phone he had on him

startled him.

rang and

He had specially bought this phone for the sake of blackmail, so his family could not have called this phone. It could only be from Anthony's side.

He looked at the phone and it was as he had expected.

"Ah! It's Mama!” Chloe's little face turned disappointed. “It might also be Papa...”

John took a deep breath and answered the call, “Hello?”

“The money has already been placed under the bridge. Where's my child?”

“I'll only release the child after I get the money. Also, tell your men that they're not

allowed to appear around the bridge,” John demanded.

“Let the child answer the phone.” Anthony's voice was cold and terrifying. John almost went to his knees.

He put the phone next to Chloe's ear and signaled her to say something.

Chloe kept looking around as she was a little nervous. “Papa, save..me...”

“Is it fun?” Anthony was mighty without being angry.

Chloe was shocked. Has she been exposed?
