Sadie saw the caller ID showing an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but she answered the call anyway.

"Aunt Sadie..." It turned out to be a child's voice.

Sadie was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"It's Billy." The voice on the other end was soft and cautious. "Do you remember me? I'm Mia's classmate."

Sadie remembered him and was somewhat shocked that Billy would call her

"There's something I want to ask you..." Billy's voice choked up a bit. He took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions, and then asked anxiously, "Can you help me?"

"You can speak," Sadie said, unable to refuse a child's request.

Billy's voice was careful. It was clear that he was calling her without his family knowing.

"When I was out with my grandmother today, I ran into Mr. Frank and Ms. Janet. They secretly told me that my mommy, grandpa, and grandma were kidnapped by bad people. If we don't rescue them soon, they'll die..." While saying these words, Billy's voice was shaking, and his breath was unstable.

Even over the phone, Sadie could almost feel the child crying but desperately holding it in....

"Billy, don't worry. Take your time and tell me. I am here." Sadie hurried back to her room with the phone and gently comforted Billy.

Despite any grievances among the adults, Sadie's sole concern in this moment was for Billy. At just three and a half years old, his voice mirrored Nathan's innocence, yet he was burdened with such a terrible ordeal. Sadie truly felt very sorry for him.

"They said..." Billy took a deep breath and excitedly said, "I can only ask you for help to save Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma."

"I..." Sadie hesitated. The truth was, she had hesitated from the moment she saw Kathleen and Felipe's messages pleading for help..

It wasn't solely due to the White family hurting her. Primarily, Sadie hesitated to involve herself. Unable to seek aid, she would have to rely on Micah to step in. She hoped to spare Micah from family conflicts on her behalf. After all, she understood that having another enemy in the business world wouldn't be beneficial.

"Aunt, I beg you, please save my mom. Please, I beg you..." Billy trembled and choked up on the phone, but he tried hard to suppress it, not daring to cry too loudly.

The more Billy did that, the more Sadie felt sorry for Billy. He seemed so small and helpless, putting all his hopes on her.

"I know my mommy and grandma used to bully you all the time. It was their fault, and I apologize on their behalf! If you save them, I promise I will always remember your help. And when I grow up, I will definitely repay you," Billy said. Billy saw Sadie as his last lifeline, believing that only she could save his family. He begged and cried, desperate for Sadie's help.

"Please, I'm begging you," Billy pleaded.

In the end, Sadie couldn't resist any longer and agreed. "Alright, I will replace a way."

"Thank you! Aunt, thank you!" Billy said gratefully.

"Billy, why are you in the bathroom? Who are you talking to? Open the door!" Linda's voice suddenly came through the phone.

"Aunt, my grandma is here. I have to go. Thank you. I will never forget your kindness," Billy quickly said and hung up.

Sadie held the phone, unable to calm her heart. She knew that Frank and Janet were not good people. They had a stake in the White family, and Kathleen and Felipe had gone missing, so they must have suffered greatly. Frank and Janet must have manipulated Billy into seeking help from her.

A three-year-old child should never have borne such a heavy burden!
