Chapter 586 Another Encounter With the Boy

"I'm sure it's because there are too many people here. That is why all the fish swim toward you. Plus,

you are sitting at the upper spot of the stream. So, if any fish were to come by me, they would bite onto

your hook first," Yelena said confidently, seemingly as if she had known the secret of fishing. She

insisted on changing her spot and began to fish again.

Three hours later, nothing happened, and Yelena was tired from all the waiting. Suddenly, something

jolted her awake. Then, she noticed that the trio were surrounding her with a smile on their face.

"Aren't we fishing? Why are you guys here?"

Yelena had just awakened from her slumber and thought it was a short nap. However, as she looked at

the time, she realized three hours had passed.

"Does that mean I haven't caught a single fish yet?" Yelena exclaimed.

Hank shrugged and smiled. "You have been sleeping for quite some time. The fish probably had eaten

the bait and then swam away."

"What? Does that mean I lost?" Yelena hung her head low in disappointment. Suddenly, she saw Hank

walking toward her with his bucket. Then, he poured all the fish from his bucket into hers. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's fine. I'll give you mine. There, you win."

Yelena didn't think it would be unfair to win by this method. Instead, she smiled and said happily, "Yay! I

still won in the end!"

Feeling satisfied with their catch, they decided to cook the fish for dinner. While Hank and Yelena were

in charge of setting up the grill, Elspeth and Callum went to collect some wood.

There was a small forest by the lake. As the duo walked deeper into the forest, Callum held Elspeth's

hand tightly, afraid she would get lost. Just as they collected enough wood and were about to return,

Elspeth noticed a familiar figure in front of her. As she squinted her eyes and took a closer look, she

was shocked.

"It's her!"

When Callum heard her words, he followed Elspeth's gaze and saw a young woman holding a child's

hand.

It was the mother and child that Elspeth had encountered at the hospital!

"They are the ones I told you about last time. The mother and her child who looks similar to you,"

Elspeth said with a complicated expression.

Callum frowned and asked, "Why don't we go and have a look?" He was also curious as to how much

alike he and the boy would be.

"Okay." Elspeth nodded. However, just as they took a few steps closer, the woman noticed them.

When she saw Callum and Elspeth approaching her, she was frightened and tried to run away.

Seeing that she was about to run away again, Elspeth felt that something was wrong.

Callum quickly reacted and grabbed the woman's arm.

"Who are you? Why are you running away from us?" he asked.

The woman lowered her head and tried to cover her eyes with her hair. "I don't know you guys. I ran

because I'm afraid to encounter strangers at a place like this."

It was hard to tell whether she was telling the truth or not. Elspeth took a few steps forward and asked

in a low voice, "Do you still remember me?"

The woman quickly shook her head and denied it. "I don't know you. I don't know who you are. Stop

asking me that."

Beside her, the boy furrowed his eyebrows and said, "You're hurting me, Mommy."

Since the woman was too nervous, she subconsciously grabbed the boy with much force, leaving red

marks on his skin.

The more Elspeth looked at them, the stranger she felt. After all, she had never met the woman before.

Yet, the woman was frightened and wanted to escape when she saw her. When Elspeth first saw the

woman, she remembered that the latter's eyes were filled with shock and anger. However, when the

woman looked at Callum, Elspeth could see a trace of fear and affection in those eyes, which confused

her.

When Callum heard the boy's voice, he looked at the latter. When he saw the boy's face, he was

shocked since the boy looked almost identical to him.

"What's his name?"

The woman looked down and said, "This is my child's privacy. I can't tell you."

"Don't worry. We are not bad guys and won't do anything to harm him." Elspeth explained. Then, she

crouched in front of the boy and said softly, "Can you tell me what your name is?"

However, the woman suddenly went crazy and pulled the boy behind her. "Are you deaf? I told you not

to ask about my child's name."

Seeing that she was panicking, Elspeth stopped asking any further questions. However, she could tell

that there was something wrong with the woman.

Callum could sense that something was not right either. "Okay. We won't ask about his name. What

about you? What's your name?"

When the woman talked to Callum, she fidgeted and seemed nervous.

"I… I…"

The woman couldn't answer and decided to shut her mouth. Thus, the four of them stood there in

silence.

"I was just curious about something. That is why I have some questions for you." Elspeth smiled, trying

to calm the woman down. "However, I'll let you know that I have my ways of getting information even if

you refuse to tell me."

The woman seemed to know how capable Elspeth was. She trembled in fear when she heard her

words.

"My name is Daisy Carmen."

The name sounded familiar to Callum. However, he still couldn't recall anything about the woman.

"Why are you running away from us?"

"I'm not. I was just scared." Daisy's voice was trembling.

When the boy heard her words, he snorted in disdain.

"You are lying, Mommy. You weren't like this before. You used to introduce me to others." The boy had

told the truth without knowing it.

"Why are you lying to us?" Callum asked with a darkened gaze.

"Please. I beg you guys. Stop making things hard for me. I don't know anything. I have nothing to do

with you guys." Daisy was almost in tears.

The more she was emphasizing, the more obvious it was that she was hiding something.

Elspeth used to study psychology. Thus, when she heard Daisy's words, she knew that Daisy wasn't

telling the truth.

"Let's just stop asking and let her go," said Elspeth.

Callum said nothing and silently agreed.

Immediately, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief. She thanked them before dragging the boy away.

"Why did you let her get away?" Callum was confused.

"I bet she lied about everything during our conversation. I have already taken a picture of the boy. We'll

know what she is hiding once I get someone to investigate it."

Looking at the boy's face on her phone, Elspeth grew more and more curious.
