Chapter 308 Persuasion (1/2)

Ramona led them to the living room and told them to have a seat while she went to the kitchen.

Kay followed her in and hesitated for a while as she watched Ramona go to the kitchen. She indicated to Agent Milk to stay in the living room, while she followed Ramona.

Inside, she saw Ramona filling a kettle with water. Ramona did not realise Kay had entered, and Kay observed as her trembling hands struggled to lift the heavy kettle. Kay reached over, taking it from her hands.

Ramona jumped, completely taken by surprise at Kay's gesture.

”It's okay,” Kay said gently, putting the kettle on.

There were a small dining table and chairs in the kitchen, and the two of them sat down while waiting for the kettle to boil.

Kay handed her the phone and played the video without saying anything.

Ramona watched, tears streaking down her face as she saw her son, smiling and waving happily at her, ”Hello Mama!! Mama, don't cry and don't worry. I am fine. I am here with Big Brother Kyle and Big Brother Xing Han and they are taking very good care of me.”

The camera then turned and showed Xing Han, who smiled and waved, saying ”Hello Auntie.”

The camera went back to Little Kyle, ”They saved me.”

Then, Little Kyle became all serious as he said, ”Mama, Dad wanted to give me to Uncle Xian.”

Ramona, upon hearing this, almost dropped the phone.

”Mama, I'll be home soon. I miss you! Love you soooooooo much!!” Little Kyle finished, blowing kisses to the phone.

Kay watched silently, not saying a word as she waited for Ramona to calm down and gather her wits. Ramona gave the phone back to Kay and went back to the kitchen sink, washing her face. Her back was slumped over, and she started crying again.

Kay came and simply held her while she sobbed.

Finally, she wiped her face and looked at Kay ruefully, ”I'm sorry. I'm such a mess. I ruined your clothes.”

Kay smiled, saying, ”This is nothing. It's just clothes. Are you feeling any better?”

Ramona nodded.

”Thank you,” she whispered, ”Thank you for saving my son.”

”I am sure you know that the danger isn't over yet,” Kay said gently, looking at her seriously, ”We need to know everything there is to know about Sheng Xian and why he wants your son so badly.”

Ramona shook her head, ”No. You've done more than enough. I can handle this by myself.”

Kay shook her head as well, ”No, I'm sorry but we can't let you do that.”
