Chapter 1980

Rosalynn's car was parked around a bend.

She sat there for a while, as the rain pelted against the car windows.

"Should I go in and check?" Felix asked.

Rosalynn shook her head.

At that moment, someone finally came out of the deserted entrance of the police station.

Ableson, umbrella in hand, was guiding Wayne towards the car parked in front.

He got Wayne into the car first.

Ableson looked around instinctively.

Due to Rosalynn's parking spot being in Ableson's blind spot, he didn't notice anyone.

Ableson didn't dare to waste any more time.

After folding up his umbrella, he got into the car promptly.

"President Silverman, let me replace you something to eat first?"

Ableson turned to Wayne.

Ableson had been with Wayne for many years and had never seen him like this.

Even when Secretary Tesdal faked her death and ran away, Wayne was miserable, but never like this.

Now... Wayne seemed like a soulless shell.

There was no light in his eyes, no life in him.

To put it crudely, it was as if he was possessed.

"No need, let's head back to H City." Wayne paused for a moment.

"Yes, sir!" Ableson didn't dare to disobey Wayne and immediately drove the car towards H City.

Originally, Ableson had set the GPS for Moonlit Lake. But Wayne glanced at his disheveled self and said, "Let's go to the apartment in the city center first."

"Sir, when your wife finishes her work and realizes that you're not home, she might..."

Wayne looked up at him.

His impassive gaze fell on Ableson, "She'll be more worried if she sees me like this. If she can't replace me, she'll ask you...just tell her I lost my phone and I'll be home soon." "Understood." A heavy feeling settled in Ableson's heart.

He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't bring himself to ask why Wayne was here and why he did so.

Wayne looked out of the window.

In the early hours of the morning, the kid had called him.

There was a lot of noise on the other end, a woman's curses and the sound of things being smashed were clear and persistent.

"Mr. Silverman, my mom's going to kill me. Please come and save me!"

Wayne immediately got up.

As he walked towards the elevator, he asked about what had happened.

"I don't really know. My parents were fighting. My mom said I wasn't her son. She said my grandma and my dad had killed her son and had replaced him with me. She wants to kill me to accompany her own son!"

The woman's hysterical screams could be faintly heard.

From the child's tone, Wayne could clearly feel his helplessness and fear.

"Find a place to hide. I'll be there soon!"

After driving for nearly two hours as per the address given by the boy, Wayne finally found the terrified child in a deserted amusement park amidst morning fog.

He looked even more disheveled than the last time they had met.

His feet were bare and covered in injuries. His face was all bruised, with one cheek swollen. There were marks on his arms and legs that looked like whip lashes. "Did your mom do this?" Wayne asked.

"Mr. Silverman, what should I do? I have no home. Everyone is lying. My mom, my dad, even my grandma. What should I do...

what about my future?"

"Don't cry.' Wayne squatted down, gently wiping away the boy's tears.

"If they're treating you like this, forget them. Come with me. I've told you, my wife is a very kind person. She was kind to me even when I was a bad person. She'll definitely be kind to you too." Wayne's voice choked slightly.
