Chapter 372 - Three Hundred And Seventy-two: Find That Woman (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Wow,” Akim's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he watched his mother carry a live cub in her arms.

”Take a look at this Akim, isn't he so cute?” Emily took a closer video for him.

”He's cute but mom, aren't lions dangerous?” the boy asked with a sense of fear.

Though the lion cub his mother held in her grasp was so adorable he wanted to reach out and touch him, Akim had watched how scary the adult lions were on television and he didn't want his mother to get hurt.

” Yes, you're right Akim. Lions are very, very scary, but they can be tamed! However, they need to be trained during their cub years. It is almost impossible to train a grown-up lion to be tamed. Although lions can be tamed, I still have to be cautious and careful around them. However, the cubs are harmless, so you don't have to be scared son, ” she laughed at his skepticism.

”You look happy, mother,”

”Really?” Emily was surprised.

After she had left Lincolnshire, she had taken the next plane to Africa. There she found fellow tourists and animal lovers who were part of an organization for the protection of wildlife. From there, the fun began.

She could have gone back to the city but Emily needed space away from the people she knew and the ones that might try to find her. Right now, she needed the time to organize her thoughts and pick up her life from the point where it had been shattered.

”Don't worry, I'll smile more for you from now on,” Emily said to him.

”Why are you up by this time?”

Akim slammed down the lid of his laptop, his heart slamming hard against his chest as soon as he met his father's furious gaze.

”D-dad,” He said nervously.

Judy stepped into the room, scrutinizing the laptop suspiciously. Without checking the PC, he already had a faint notion of who he had been chatting with.

”What did the doctor tell you about staying up late at night?” He asked, appearing more intimidating now he was standing straight and tall with his head raised high. As royals, they were taught never to slouch nor walk with a hunch.

”I'm sorry, father,” He dropped his head in shame.

”Go to bed immediately or I would be forced to cut off the Wi-Fi connection to this room,” He ordered.

”Yes, father,” Akim eased out of his study chair and made his way over to the bed.

With a sigh, Judy squeezed his eyes shut and let go of his frustration. He then walked over to his son and helped tuck him in bed. Just because he was having a bad time, doesn't mean he should take it out on his son - it was not his fault.

”You should adhere strictly to your routine. Just because the operation was successful doesn't mean you're completely healed. You might suffer a relapse in the future if you don't take good care of your health,” He lectured him.

”You're not angry at me?” The boy blinked surprised.

”Why should I be angry at you?” Judy asked, pretending to be completely oblivious to the reason the boy was asking the question in the first place.

”You have a brooding temper lately,” The boy pointed out.

”Adults experience that phase in that life,” was his answer and thankfully that shut the boy up or so he thought.

”I spoke with mommy,”

Judy froze.

Well, for a while, because in the next minute, he resumed his duties unaffected.

”So?” his brow raised questioningly.

”She was petting Lions,”

”What?!”

His shout almost made Akim jump out of his skin.

”That crazy woman!” He cursed, already calling her line in a flash. However, no matter how long he called, she refused.

”Oh, she's avoiding me now!” Judy went red with anger, pacing up and down the boy's room who watched the drama with interest.
