Chapter 270
At this point, all one could do was hope for the best.
"Yes, sweety, rest assured. I've asked my men to double-check everything. If there's any news, they'll
call me right away. Don't worry anymore, okay?"
Those were the words from Magnus, and Natalia had no choice but to suppress her anxiousness for
the time being.
The next day, Natalia drove her son, Jonas, to school.
Jonas attended an elite private school, and though the school provided a dedicated chauffeur service,
Natalia felt she had time to spare and preferred to take him herself.
The morning was bright and sunny, lifting Natalia's spirits as she drove. Halfway through the trip, she
felt a sudden discomfort. A warm sensation washed over her, and she realized her period had arrived
unexpectedly.
In an awkward predicament, she pulled over at a convenience store, turned to Jonas, and said, “Jonas,
I need to buy some things. Stay in the car and don't wander off, okay?”
"Okay, Mommy." Jonas nodded obediently, though confused as to why they had to stop.
With a sigh of relief, Natalia hurried into the store.
After buying some tampons and cleaning up, she also grabbed a pack of gum for Jonas before heading
back to the car.
"Jonas, mommy got you some..." Her words were cut off as she dropped her items in shock.
Her car door was wide open, but Jonas was nowhere to be seen. Panicked, Natalia scanned the area,
hoping to spot Jonas, but there was no sign of him.
Natalia felt her legs go weak. She had only left for a few minutes, where could Jonas have gone?
Could he have come looking for her?
She bent down and searched the car for any signs or clues, but found nothing.
Stepping out of the car, she paced around it before heading back into the convenience store. Upon
entering, the friendly cashier greeted her, "Welcome back."
With a desperate urgency, Natalia quickly said, “Hello, can I check your CCTV footage, please?”
The cashier hesitated, shaking his head after a moment. "I'm sorry, only the police are allowed to
access the footage."
Natalia's face went pale, pleading, "Please, I left my son in the car when I came in, and now he's
missing. I need to check your CCTV to see if I can find out where he's gone."
Just as the cashier was at a loss for what to do, the manager of the store stepped in. "Ma'am, please
follow me."
Natalia gratefully followed him, profusely thanking him along the way, "Thank you! Thank you!"
The manager shook his head, his expression filled with concern. "Let's take a look quickly. I lost my
child in front of a supermarket years ago. If there had been cameras then, maybe my child wouldn't
have gone missing."
Natalia was taken aback, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's okay, it's been many years. The most important thing now is to find your child as soon as possible."
The manager said, proficiently pulling up the surveillance footage. "When did you come in?"
"About ten minutes ago. I left my son in the car when I came in to buy some things. When I came out,
the locked car door was open, and my son was gone."
After listening to Natalia's story, the manager quickly rewound the footage to ten minutes ago.
Natalia stared intensely at the screen. It didn't take long for her to spot a familiar car parked next to
hers. It was Addison's car.
She watched as Addison got out of her car, knocked on Natalia's car window, and seemed to say
something to Jonas. Shortly after, Jonas opened the car door and stepped out.
The small boy seemed to be arguing with Addison, waving his arms around. Suddenly, Addison
covered Jonas' mouth and nose, picked him up, and shoved him into her car before driving off.
Natalia began shaking. Addison had kidnapped Jonas! The footage clearly showed a cloth in Addison's
hand that she used to cover Jonas' mouth and nose.
When had Addison started targeting her and Jonas? What was that crazy woman planning to do?
"That's kidnapping. Do you know that woman? Should we call the police?" The manager asked quietly.
Seeing Natalia's lack of response, he gently probed again, "Should we call the police?"
The manager's voice pulled Natalia back to reality. She nodded. "Thank you, we must call the police.
But before they arrive, I have to find that crazy woman who kidnapped my son."
"You may have enemies, but children are innocent. I hope you find him soon," The manager said
sincerely.
Natalia expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for your help. I have to go after that madwoman now.
Goodbye."
With that, Natalia rushed out of the store, got back in her car, and sped off in the direction Addison had
gone, dialing 911 as she drove. On the road, Natalia drove fast, desperate to catch up to Addison. She
didn't know what that crazy woman would do to her son.
Meanwhile, Addison's car slowly pulled into her driveway. Looking at the unconscious Jonas in the
back seat, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
"Ha! Little brat, you can't stand me badmouthing Natalia, huh? Oh, just wait, there's more where that
came from! Natalia, you wait and see. Everything you've done to my daughter, I will make you pay!"
Her shriek of fury didn't stir Jonas. The little guy was snoozing away in the backseat. He was blissfully
unaware that Addison, who came to stand just outside the car door swearing at Natalia, was
purposefully provoking a confrontation with the sole intention of kidnapping him.
The car roared away, engine rumbling like the thunderous growl of a wild beast, and in no time,
Addison pulled up at her home.
She parked the car, then hoisted the unconscious Jonas out of the backseat. If she weren't afraid of
him suddenly waking up and causing a scene, she would have just yanked him out by his ankles. She
despised this child, for he was the offspring of Natalia and Magnus!
Kyler was in the yard, sipping on his coffee, and looked up in surprise when he saw Addison carrying a
child. "Why on earth have you brought a kid home?" He asked, perplexed.
Addison shot Kyler a glare. "You see me struggling and don't even offer to help? I'm exhausted."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
