"How dare you bite me, you little brat! See if I don't kill you!"
The sound of a heavy slap on the face followed, and when he heard the crisp slap, Kieran's hand was so hard that
he almost crushed the phone in his hand.
"Daddy, save me!"
As Jayla's voice fell, the sound from the phone came to an abrupt end. At this moment, Kieran couldn't care less
about disliking her for calling him daddy again, right now, he only had one thought in his mind. He wanted to kill the
person who bullied Jayla!
He was just about to exit the chat software, but he suddenly noticed that the two messages were sent forty minutes
ago.
Kieran did not dare to delay in the slightest, he quickly dialed Bradley's number and told him to gather all his men
to search the city for Jayla's whereabouts.
Jaden had also received Jayla's distress message. He had installed a locator device on Jayla's body, and after he
met up with Kieran, he quickly rushed to the location shown by the locator device.
Jayla's pink mobile phone and the locator watch were lying quietly by the roadside, while she, long ago, was
nowhere to be found.
The night was getting thicker and thicker, the neon lights flashing by, but nothing can dispel the overwhelming
darkness.
Jalay has a secret.
Recently, almost every night, she would quietly come out of the Kelsington Bay and go to that poorest
neighborhood to take a look at the boy called Leon.
Although Jayla is only five years old, she is much more understanding than children of her age.
She knew that the boy called Leon was not like her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe is well clothed and happy, but he has to worry about his next meal, he is unhappy and he has a particularly
hard time.
When Leon's father died, Kieran gave them a lot of compensation, enough to clothe and feed him and his mother
for the rest of their lives.
The sad thing is that Leon has a gambling uncle.
Gambling is a bottomless pit, and his uncle owes a particularly large amount of money to the underground
moneymakers.
Not only that, but he continued to gamble again and again, and he wanted to win back the money he had lost, only
to lose even more money.
He knew that his sister had gotten compensation and stole her bank card. He could roughly guess the password of
the bank card, and after several attempts, he did try out the correct password and all the money on the bank card
was transferred by him.
Leon's mother, naturally, found out about the incident and was so angry that she had another heart attack when
such a large sum of money was stolen.
But Uncle Leon was her brother after all, and she couldn't send her brother to prison with her own hands, so she
could only, dragging her frail body out to work, save money to get by.
Apart from paying Leon's school fees, she really doesn't have much money left in her salary, not even enough to
buy medicine for herself.
So, she and Leon had a particularly hard time, even with the worst food and clothing, and still couldn't make ends
meet.
Jayla was particularly distressed by the poor mother and son, and she wanted to help them.
She gave Leon her pocket money, but the boy, although poor, was extraordinarily stubborn and did not want the
money she gave him.
Even when she spoke to him, he was cold and indifferent.
If it were anyone else, they would have already been furious, but not Jayla, and she admired this boy with a
backbone.
He refused her money, so she helps him secretly.
She knew that Leon's mother usually bought her medicine from a small pharmacy outside their neighborhood, and
she gave part of her pocket money to the owner of that small pharmacy so that they could sell the medicine to
Leon's mother at a low price.
Originally hundreds of dollars a bottle of medicine suddenly became a few dozen dollars, Leon's mother was
naturally puzzled, but the pharmacy said it was for discounts, so she did not think much of it.
After all, it's not as if the pharmacy is stupid enough to let itself be disadvantaged by being able to buy medicine
cheaply, so she doesn't have to take advantage of it.
Sometimes, Jayla would secretly send some fish and meat to Leon's family. The boy is growing up and eating
vegetables that are about to go bad every day is not good for his health.
When Leon saw some delicious food such as fish and meat placed outside the door, sometimes he would think
about it. After he looked around for a while, his eyes would become extremely complicated, and finally, he took the
shopping bags to the house.
When Jayla, who was hiding, saw Leon accepting what he had given her, her heart was almost bubbling with joy.
They, at last, will be able to improve their food!
The neighbourhood rented by Leon's mother is particularly old and the security is not very good. Jayla is afraid that
she may encounter danger, and she will not stay here for too long.
This evening, as usual, after giving Leon a big bag of goodies, she planned to leave quickly and take the bus home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't expect to see Leon, who was carrying his school bag home, just as she reached the entrance of the
district. She didn't want him to see her and quickly hid aside.
Leon came back much later than usual today. She didn’t know if it was a fight or a fall, but he had a frightening cut
on his arm.
He was supposedly afraid of being discovered by his mother, so he was pulling hard on the sleeve of his own blouse
while he was walking.
Except that, in summer, he wears short sleeves and no matter how much he pulls, he can't cover up his wounds.
His brow knitted together and he had the bright idea to tilt the handbag on his back to one side, which unexpectedly
just happened to cover the wound.
After all this, his tightly knitted brow gradually relaxed.
Jayla quietly looked at the little boy's face, she had always felt that in this world, there would never be anyone her
own age who was better looking than her brother, but she never thought that Leon would be no uglier than her
brother.
She knew that Leon must not want to see her, but she couldn't resist asking him if the injury on his arm was painful.
Before she could burst out of her hiding place, she saw Leon's uncle rushing down a side road with several men.
"Yes! That's him! He's my nephew! You give me 30,000 and he'll sell it to you!"
Jayla was so shocked that she stared round, Leon's uncle sold him for 30,000?!
It was a living human being! And, it was his family, how could he sell Leo for that little money!
After hearing Leon's uncle's words, the men slammed a large stack of large red notes into his hands and came up
together to grab Leon.
Leon realised the danger and ran.
He was a fast runner for his age, but he was only a six-year-old boy, so he was no match for several big, grown
men!
He had only run a few steps and his uncle grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him hard against the men.
