Chapter 278
Adam reluctantly loosened his grip a little, eyeing the kid warily, keeping his guard up as he tried to reason with him, “Vid, you should go find your mon She must be worried if she can’t find you.”
The little one could not understand him at all. With pleading eyes foved on Skylar, he had mistaken her for his mother.
Mothers are always softer–hearted than others. Skylar bit her lip as she saw the little one’s pleading eyes.
However, that unpleasant incident previously flashed through her mind, and she instantly abandoned the thought of holding the child.
She could not help but suspect the gang had not been fully taken down, and this might be their latest scheme.
“They might take advantage of women’s maternal instincts, using a kid to lure them to a designated spot so they can make their move, the thought.
Skylar looked at the child with a wary, unreadable gaze. Yosef shared Skylar’s suspicion. He did not trust this child who appeared from nowhere.
The little one waited in vain for Skylar to pick him up. He pursed his lips and burst into heart–wrenching sobs. “Mommy… Mommy…
Adam’s heart ached as he hurried down from his mother’s arms, rushed to the little one’s side, and wrapped his arms around him to comfort him. “Don’t cry. Please don’t cry,” Adam soothed.
Skylar pulled Adam back. “Adam, watch out. There could be danger,” she warned.
“Mom, the little boy is crying so hard. I’m worried something might happen to him.” Although Adam disliked the little kid who clung to his mother, his heart melted seeing him cry,
“Mom, why don’t we help him find his mom?” Adam asked.
Skylar, being cautious, said, “Alright, Adam. I’ll call the police to help the little boy.”
However, the little one kept crying, his eyes brimming with tears as he desperately reached out for Skylar to hug him.
Adam bit his lip and made up his mind. “Mom, why don’t you give him a hug?” he said.
Skylar looked at him, surprised, and said, “Adam, you…”
Adam pleaded, “Mom, quickly hold the little brother. He looks like he’s going to be out of breath.”
Skylar remained wary of the child, yet her heart softened despite her suspicions. She gathered the little one into her arms and murmured gently, “Hush now, sweetheart. No more tears.”
To her amazement, just as she held and soothed the little one, he immediately stopped crying. He let out a few lingering sniffles, his big, curious eyes fixed on Skylar with an innocent look.
“Yosef, go ask around if anyone’s child is missing,” Skylar said.
Yosef looked at them with concern. “Are you guys coming with me?” he asked.
Skylar understood his concerns and thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright, let’s go together,” she said.
They asked around the surrounding area, but no one had seen the child before. ‘That’s strange. Did the child pop out of thin air?‘ They could not help but
wonder.
Yosef suggested, “We can’t find anything this way. Why don’t we take the kid to the police station and lodge a report? Maybe someone’s already reported him missing.”
Since they were unfamiliar with this place, lodging a police report was the best option. Skylar nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

Yosef held Adam up and teased him, “Do you still claim you’re not green with envy?
“Himph, Dad’s so mean!” Adam pouted, his lips pursed in displeasure. “I’m already in such a bad mood, and you still rub salt into my wound. Sunk) bed | don’t like you anymore!”
“Hey, don’t worry, Adam. No one can take your place,” Yosef said, awkwardly patting Adam’s back. “Once this little one finds his parents, he’ll be gone. So cheer up, okay?”
Letting out a sulky huff, Adam buried his face in his father’s shoulder.
