Chapter 195
Aiden Went to the Police Station
Elias looked at Howard’s furious behavior and stayed silent.
Sometime later, he slowly got up. Without another word, he turned around and left the
study.
Howard watched Elias leave, then snorted in anger and sat back in his chair, panting
heavily.
Elias stood in the yard of the Winters Manor, turning back to glance at the window of the
study upstairs.
At that time, he couldn’t determine if Howard had hidden the child. He felt a migraine
coming on when he wondered how he should tell Amanda about this.
The man’s slender fingers pinched between his eyebrows. He had no idea where he should
start looking.
He should probably start from the amusement park.
Thus, Elias’ sleepless night began…
Early the next morning, at North No. 1, Amanda slowly opened her eyes. She didn’t dare
check the time. If it were still night, she would have a long and torturous wait ahead of
her.
She looked beside the bed, her eyes filled with disappointment. There was no Aiden
sprawling on the bed looking at her.
Can it be that Howard refused to give the child back? Hasn’t Elias convinced his
grandfather yet?
She was beginning to suspect that Elias was in cahoots with Howard and that they were
working together to take the child away from her.
Amanda closed her eyes again, but she couldn’t go to sleep. So, she grabbed her phone
and glanced at it. surprised to see that it was already 8.00AM.
Why hasn’t Aiden appeared in front of my bed?
Amanda sat up and found Elias’ number in her contacts list. She hesitated, wondering if
she should call
him.
She knew that if she called him right now, the man would only give her excuses, but she

Beep… Beep….
When the call went through, the man’s low voice sounded over the phone. “You’re awake.”
“How is it? Do you have any news about Aiden?” She was slightly looking forward to Elias’
answer. Would he tell her the truth or continue lying to her?
Just as expected, the man answered, “No, we’re still looking.”
Hah…
Between Amanda and Howard, Elias still chose to defend Howard and continued lying to
Amanda.
Amanda asked, “Then when will you find him? I miss him so, so much. I couldn’t sleep well
at all last night.”
“I’m sorry, Amanda, but I’ll do my best. We should find him soon.”
“All right, got it.”
After hanging up, Amanda shoved the blanket aside, then went to the bathroom to wash
up.
She stood at the washstand and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked like she
had slept the whole night away, but her slumber was riddled with nightmares. She even
seemed a little haggard.
“Aiden, do you miss Mommy?” She posed the question to her reflection in the mirror.
Elias looked at his phone, which was still displaying the ended call. Amanda’s emotions
seemed off somewhat.
After investigating the whole night, he realized that the child truly wasn’t with Howard.
Where else would Aiden be?
After racking his brains through the night, he still couldn’t figure out how a three-year-old
would disappear in the surveillance footage. He looked through all the surveillance
cameras from all sorts of angles in the amusement park, but there was no trace of the
child ever since the merry-go-round stopped.
Yacob went back to the office with some breakfast he bought.
“Mr. Winters, you should take a break. You’ve been checking the surveillance footage all
night.” Yacob placed the food on the couch in the reception area.
Elias put a hand to his forehead as he leaned against the office desk, closing his eyes to
rest. He had a splitting headache. After staring at surveillance videos for the whole night,
his vision was getting blurry.
“Did you get any news on
“Side?”
Yacob didn’t say a word, which meant that there was no news. A hint of disappointment
flashed across Elias’ dark eyes.
His phone rang again. It was a call from Howard this time. He looked at the incoming call
on the screen. unwilling to answer the call. In the end, however, he still picked up.
“Grandpa…”
“You b*stard, have you found the child?”
“No.”
“What? It has been a whole night, but you still haven’t found a mere child? enemies again

“Got it! I’m still looking, so I’m hanging up now.”
On the other end of the line, Howard complained again, saying, “I’ll be waiting for you at
the manor! Tell me as soon as you get any news. You can also ask me for help if you need
a particular connection.”
“Yeah. Okay.”
Elias can now confirm that Aiden truly wasn’t with Howard, or Howard wouldn’t be so
anxious.
But where did Aiden go?
Meanwhile, at the police station, an adorable boy sat on a chair, sucking on a bottle of
yogurt in his hands. as his short legs swung in midair.
“Are you still hungry? Do you want some more?” A policewoman crouched down patiently.
The little guy looked upset, however. “Miss, I’m already three years old. Please don’t talk
to me in such a childish tone.”
The policewoman was a little speechless. This kid has quite a temper.
“What’s your name?”
“You’ve asked me the same thing for the whole night. My name is Aiden Bailey, and my
mommy is Amanda Bailey. My dad… I don’t know what his name is,” Aiden repeated
earnestly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLast night, Dick took him to the amusement park. After the merry-go-round ride, he snuck
away and managed to find a police station nearby.
Amanda once taught him that if he got lost outside, he could ask the police for help.
The policewoman asked, “Do you know your house address? There are too many women
with the same name as your mommy, so we can’t narrow it down. Do you remember any
buildings near your house?”
Aiden remembered everything except for the address.
They had moved quite a few times after coming back, so he had no clue about the address
of the new house they had recently moved into.
“I don’t know the address…. I thought I only had to remember my mommy’s name.”
“Then do you remember your mommy’s phone number?”
The policewoman asked again. She couldn’t get any findings after enquiring for the entire
night. Instead, the little guy freeloaded in the police station all night and even made all
sorts of unreasonable requests.
Aiden said, “Yes, but I only remember the number of that phone. My mommy has a lot of
phones, so I don’t remember the other ones.”
The policewoman sighed in exasperation. “But darling, that number you remembered is
empty.”
The confused child had recited the phone number confidently, but the number was no
longer in use.

correct person.
The phone number was invalid, and Aiden couldn’t remember the address. It truly was a
difficult task to help him find his parents.
The policewoman looked at an old policeman at the side. “Sir, why don’t we post a photo
or a video online and ask for help? The news can spread wider that way. If we can’t find
the child’s parents, we can only hope that the parents come to us.”
The old policeman had been playing with the kid for the entire night, so he was sleepy as
well. He yawned. and said, “Go ahead, then. I can’t hold out any longer; this kid is too
energetic.”
