The cry of the little baby in the nursery behind her was shrill. Ji An’s expression changed and she quickly became more desperate.
“Is there a child?” Liu Jiayi slightly turned her head. Her ability to listen to sound and identify the position had always been very strong. She soon made a judgment. “It is the last room in the house. It should be Su Yang’s child.”
Ji An’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think as she turned around and ran madly to the baby’s room.
She locked the room with trembling hands and picked up the baby. She walked to the left and right with short breaths, tears of fear overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
She pushed open the window and yelled, “Anyone! Help! Somebody! Please!”
No one responded to Ji An.
She buried her face hysterically in the baby’s swaddling clothes and cried bitterly. Even so, she covered the baby’s ears with her hands and constantly kissed and comforted the frightened baby. “It’s okay. Baby, sleep. Mama is here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
The lock behind her made a click. There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and slowly turning.
Ji An’s breathing stopped. She fumbled with a shaking hand in her pajama pocket where she had placed the key of the nursery.
Now, it had disappeared like the phone. It had been stolen by those two people.
Ji An gave a long sob. Her face was full of tears as she closed her eyes with despair.
The door of the baby’s room opened slowly.
It was empty and only the sound of the bells above the crib were ringing.
Mu Sicheng made a strange expression. He looked around the room and bent down to look below the bed. “Where is this person? I clearly saw her running into this room.”
Liu Jiayi raised a hand to stop Mu Sicheng’s steps. “The sound of breathing is still here.”
She half closed her eyes and listened. Then she raised her head and looked out the window. “The person is outside the window.”
“Outside the window?!” Mu Sicheng was shocked
