Chapter 1125 Catch (3)

Leah glanced at Shawn in front of her and calmly said, "Why are you asking this? Move aside, I need to go out." She walked around him and headed downstairs. The little boy followed her down, imitating her every move.

Leah turned around and saw him following her with a troubled heart. She grabbed her purse in frustration and stomped her foot saying, "What are you doing? Don't follow me!"

"I'll go with you. Who do you want to save?" Shawn's voice was low, tinged with doubt as he had heard Leah talking on the phone earlier. He remembered seeing Rose leave hurriedly after answering the call. They must have been in trouble.

Shawn's innocent mind did not realize what his father Elliot had done that made people dislike him so much.

Leah blinked her big eyes with fluttering eyelashes as she stared straight at Shawn's face wondering if he could be trusted or not.

After several minutes of contemplation, she made up her mind that it would be better to have someone else help them rescue Sean rather than going alone without any backup plan.

"Okay then, come along," she said finally.

The two little ones sneaked out of the villa they were staying in and hailed a cab outside which took them directly to Sean's location - a two-story detached villa with white walls and red tiles surrounded by lush green grasses.

They hid behind some bushes outside the villa observing their surroundings before Leah led Shawn towards the backside of the building where there were fewer people guarding it compared to its main entrance which was heavily guarded by security personnel who wouldn't let anyone enter without proper authorization or clearance.

Fortunately, for them though, there was no one guarding behind, so they managed to sneak into a small garden area where they could see Sean standing near an upstairs window and looking down at them. The siblings waved their hands excitedly when they saw each other.

Leah pulled Shawn through the outside flower bushes, hiding in a corner of the small garden.

However, Shawn's eyes widened suddenly when he saw the boy by the second-floor window, who looked almost the same age as him. Wasn't that... wasn't that the boy who had saved him before? And he looked exactly like Leah!

What is going on here? What is their relationship?

"Sean, what should we do now?" Leah gestured towards Sean upstairs while trying to communicate silently through hand signals since speaking loudly might alert anyone nearby.

The two communicated with gestures for a while, nodding at each other when they finished. After that, Leah had an idea and went over to pick up a stone she could handle. Seeing Shawn still standing there, she remembered there was someone else who came with her.

Looking at Shawn's confused expression, she explained simply, "My brother said the window is locked and can only be opened from the outside. I'm going to use this stone to break the lock." She lifted the sharp but not too large stone in her hand.

"How do we get in? There should be people inside the villa," Shawn asked as he took the stone from her and examined it with a worried tone.

"We climb up through this pipe; it's our only option." Leah lightly patted on the white pipe on the wall that extended all way up to second floor exterior wall. If they climbed along it, they would end up right by one of second-floor windows.

Shawn looked carefully upward and nodded his agreement with this plan. The boy upstairs saved him earlier today; he must save the boy now!

Leah was observing how they could climb when suddenly everything went blurry before her eyes - Shawn had already taken two steps towards climbing into that pipe! He was still struggling hard as he tried climbing higher.

She was startled and rushed over trying to pull him down but unfortunately missed grabbing him again just as he took another step upwards. All she could do now was whisper anxiously below, "What are you doing? Come down quickly! I need to climb up saving my brother!"

Though his hands were slipping slightly due to sweat, fortunately there were enough bumps on that uneven surface of the pipe so that he didn't slide back down again completely. Hearing Leah's words made him pause for breath before looking downwards towards where Leah stood frantically watching, "I'll go save him; you keep watch around here."

Leah closed her mouth tightly shut, then watched around their surroundings while also keeping an eye on Shawn's movements above.

Seeing how much harder it became for him as he climbed higher almost caused her heart rate spike out of control! She even covered her mouth tightly in fear just before letting out an involuntary gasp at one point when thinking about what might happen if something goes wrong!

Meanwhile Sean sat near one of those windows watching Shawn getting closer to him and then looking back at Leah.

Leah stared at Shawn's back without blinking, watching him put in so much effort. Suddenly, she didn't hate him as much as before. Truth be told, she didn't really hate him; she just didn't like his background. If... if only he were not Daddy's son with another woman...

Watching Shawn climb up with all his might, Leah gritted her teeth. If he could successfully rescue Sean this time, she would no longer hate him and even become friends with him! Yes, that's it!

Leah, who had come to this realization, watched nervously as Shawn got closer and closer to the windowsill.

After a few more minutes of

nét

climbing, Shawn finally made it to the edge of the windowsill and sat down to rest. His body was in terrible shape; even climbing up like this made him feel sore all over his body-especially his arms and feet that had rubbed against the pipe.

But fortunately, he succeeded in coming up!

Shawn rested for a while before looking down at Leah. He flashed her a bright smile, then pulled out a rock from his bag and started smashing the window lock.

Luckily for them both, breaking open the lock on the outside of the window was easy enough. However, for someone like Shawn who was still just a kid himself, it took quite some time.

Before Sean came out of his room, he had moved chairs over to block off the room door so they wouldn't be disturbed by anyone else. Now seeing that they were about ready to leave soon filled him with joy as he patted Shawn's shoulder gratefully overflowing with emotion.

"Are you tired? Take another break before we go?" Sean suggested worriedly when he saw how exhausted Shawn looked after such an ordeal. Thinking about their current situation, Shawn shook his head firmly saying, "Let's hurry down now; if someone sees us here, we're done for."

Sean nodded in agreement, saying, "Thanks, bro!" They shared an emotional moment between two young boys.

Shawn blushed slightly feeling grateful towards Sean who saved him earlier on; now being able to repay that debt felt good too.

Shawn slid down first, his arms becoming weaker, moving down slowly. Sean, who was one step above him, was inexperienced and followed him down slowly.

After sliding down a few more steps, Shawn's arms, legs, and feet had become very sore, gradually losing strength.

"Be careful, take it slow!" Leah was equally anxious below, constantly moving, afraid that something bad might happen to them.
