A Successful Career After Divorce

“Ayaan?” Ranita searched the entire ward but couldn’t find him. She felt a sudden chill, and her head started to spin.

In an instant, Ranita felt all her strength drain away. She quickly ran to Benedict’s side and pushed him forcefully, “Dad! Dad!”

“Wake up! Wake up!”

Ranita had gone out to make a phone call for about twenty minutes, and Benedict had fallen asleep during that time, which worried her.

“Dad!” Ranita shouted while pressing the emergency button. Benedict had a dedicated nurse, who immediately came over to check the situation.

“Don’t worry, it’s because the medication has a sedative effect, so the patient fell asleep,” the nurse explained patiently. “His vital signs are good; there’s nothing else to worry about.”

As they spoke, Benedict groggily woke up. “What’s wrong?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dad… where’s Ayaan?” Ranita asked anxiously. “Why isn’t he in the ward?”

“Ah… Ayaan was here…” Benedict mumbled, still a bit confused from the medication. “He was just here.”

Ranita, trying not to worry him, said, “It’s okay, Dad. You rest now.”

“I’ll be right back.” Ranita left the room and immediately went to the nurse’s station to inquire.

It was nighttime, and there weren’t many nurses on duty, so no one had seen Ayaan.

Ranita’s forehead throbbed.

Ayaan wouldn’t wander off…

Trying to stay calm, Ranita was about to call the police when an unfamiliar number called her.

Perhaps it was a mother’s intuition; she answered the phone instinctively. A slightly hoarse female voice came through, “Ranita, long time no see.”

“You are…” Ranita quickly searched her mind but couldn’t recall who it was.

There was a brief silence on the other end before the voice turned angry. “Ha! Ranita, you really do forget people easily!”

“I’m Addyson.”

Addyson?! The Addyson from Boulderland Mansion!

In the next second, Ranita had a sudden realization-the cleaner she bumped into at the corner!

That cleaner was Addyson!

A not-so-mature thought rushed into her mind. Ranita questioned harshly, “Addyson, did you take my son?”

“Give me back my son!”

Addyson suddenly became arrogant. “Ah… you found out so quickly? But I called to tell you this.”

“I took your son.”

The call ended abruptly.

“Addyson! Addyson!” Ranita’s eyes widened as she desperately tried to call back, but Addyson’s phone was already turned off.

Ayaan had been taken by Addyson!

Where could she have taken him?

Where should she start looking… No, no… Amidst the chaos, Ranita forced herself to stay calm and clear-headed. The first thing she needed to do was call the police!

Ranita remembered there was a police station right downstairs in the hospital!

With her heart pounding, she ran towards the elevator. But the more anxious she got, the more things seemed to go wrong; the elevator was stuck on the ground floor.

Without thinking further, Ranita ran down the stairs while calling Brendon. But in her distraction, she missed a step and fell down the stairs.

“Ah!” A scream echoed.

Fortunately, it was only two or three steps. Although she wasn’t seriously hurt, she couldn’t get up immediately…
