In My Desperate Time

Chapter 294: You're More Like His Mom

What's going on?

Has someone stolen her child, or does Whitney want to abandon the baby?

This happens just as I ask Frances to take over custody of the baby. It seems strange, but I don't have any time to think about it carefully.

I can't leave this child alone anyway.

"Let's go!"

I stand up and drag Mindy downstairs.

"Hey, wait a minute. I have to take my baby." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Mindy pushes the stroller and follows behind me.

It suddenly occurs to me that Whitney left her child in the earthquake and escaped by herself last time.

She is not like a mother.

Or maybe Whitney and Frances are just alike. They don't care about the baby at all.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sorry for the baby.

I run downstairs, and when I get there, the baby is still crying so hard by the trash can.

"What a ruthless person! How can she just abandon this baby here? How can the parents do this to such a cute baby?!" Mindy is so angry that she trembles.

"This is Whitney's child," I say indifferently as I gently pick up the baby.

The baby's crying just touches my heart.

As I look at him, I think of my lost baby and my heart softens.

It'd be so good if this was my child. I will cherish him with my love and I will definitely not be as irresponsible as Whitney.

"Whitney's baby? Then why is he here?"

Mindy is confused, and I don't know why, either.

"I don't know. But what should we do as the baby is crying so hard now?" I look at Mindy, feeling so worried about the baby.

I believe that my concern for this baby is all due to my guilt and love for my lost child.

"He might be hungry. Let me try."

Then Mindy takes the baby to the corner.

She has been breastfeeding her baby, so she is able to provide this baby with some food.

As expected, the baby stops crying and begins to eat attentively.

After a while, he even starts swaying his hands and feet.

My heart just melts.

It seems that I have more connection with this baby than with my godson.

The baby falls asleep then.

I take the baby from Mindy carefully with smile, as if I am holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Look at you. I think you're more like his mom," Mindy makes fun of me.

I make a grimace at her and turn to look at the baby.

"Jane, should we send this child to the police station? If the baby has been stolen by a bad person, Whitney would be worried, right?"

I don't know if Whitney will be anxious, but out of selfishness, I don't want to send the baby back.

However, I haven't got any information from Frances yet. So before he gets the custody, I have to send the baby to the police station because of the law. Otherwise, I might be accused of child abduction.

Although I am reluctant to part with the baby, I bring him to the police station anyway and tell the police what has happened. I also tell them that the baby's mother is Whitney.

Then I call Frances.
