All too late for his love

Willow wasn't unconscious for too long. It was still nighttime when she woke up There were no stars in the sky that night. Even the shining LED lights across the road only brought a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Willow began to massage her aching neck and opened her eyes only to come to a horrifying realization-Aaron was gone.

There were three beds in the hospital ward, but the other two beds were empty after those patients were discharged yesterday. Aaron had been the only one left, but the ward was now completely empty apart from Willow.

"Aaron!"

Willow rushed to the bathroom, but he wasn't there either. A bad feeling began to rise in Willow's throat like bile. It made her heart burn with worry and anxiety, and she opened her mouth to gasp for air from the pain.

She clutched at her chest desperately, trying not to let her tears fall.

She kept telling herself not to panic, and that Aaron was probably just taking a walk outside for some fresh air. However, deep down, she knew something bad must have happened to him.

Aaron was a good kid. There was no way he'd go running around outside in the middle of the night when he knew it would worry her.

Moreover, she had also passed out just now. Someone had obviously knocked her out so they could take Aaron away!

Willow ran up and down the corridor a few times but failed to find any trace of Aaron.

She remembered the surveillance cameras in the hospital and quickly went to look for the nurses on duty to ask to watch the recordings, However, all she got was the devastating news that the wiring for the surveillance cameras was broken. There was no way to view the footage to find the culprit who had kidnapped Aaron.

Willow wasn't stupid. She knew that the cameras had been tampered with so that they could kidnap her beloved Aaron.

She just couldn't understand why anyone would want to hurt Aaron. He was so cute and innocent, and he had never hurt anyone. She had to police!

"Willow," an unfamiliar man's voice said. It was a rough, deep voice that was clearly up to no good.

"You took Aaron from me, didn't you? Where is he? Bring him back to me!"

"Yes, he's here with me," the person said with an evil chuckle. "However, it's not going to be that easy to get him back. I worked hard to snatch him you know? How could I let such a juicy piece of meat go without sapping it dry first?"

Tup.

"What do you want from me?" Willow couldn't stand the feeling of getting used by anyone, but she had to grit ve her teeth and go through with it to save her son. "Tell me what you want from me! As long as you don't hurt him, I'll give you whatever you want!"

Since you're so sure, I won't beat bush. I want 10,000,000

He paused before saying; snidely,

"Give me the money in two days before nightfall, or you're going to get a cold corpse in the mail. Of course, you can call the police. But rest assured, the moment you make that call, I'll kill your son instantly." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
