Jacob held his phone, listening quietly to the person on the other side. After a long while, he hung up and turned to Esther. âPlease wait for a moment. I need to meet someone.â
âSure.â
Jacobâs slender silhouette, dressed in a white shirt, appeared heart-wrenchingly frail to Esther. She couldnât help but think that Jacobâs mother must be unaware of his illness. Otherwise, she would rush back to her childâs side, no matter the obstacles.

While the car looked like a standard Rolls-Royce from the outside, its interior had. undergone complete modifications to enhance safety. Ordinary bullets were no match for its armored protection.
âFather.â
Steffan Sanderson, a casually dressed man in his 30s, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses while observing his son, who had been frail since childhood.
âJacob, do you know why I sent you to the church hospital?â
Jacob sat beside his father, their interaction laced with an estrangement that others couldnât comprehend.
âI know,â Jacob replied.
Steffan smirked coldly. âIf you know, why choose to meddle?â
âBeing alive. Itâs meaningless,â Jacob stated.
Steffan responded with a cold laugh. âJacob, youâve cut off your last lifeline. I hope you wonât regret it.â
âI wonât.â
Steffan then shared a location with Jacob, saying, âThis is where the little girl is.â
Father.â
Jacob checked the location on his phone, expressing cold gratitude, âThank you, Observing Jacobâs indifferent demeanor, Steffan sighed. âJacob, letâs go find your motherâ¦â
âAnd then have another child like me?â
Jacob gripped his phone, his knuckles turning white from the force. His expression filled with disgust, he muttered, âIf I had a choice, I would rather have never come into this world.â
He then pushed open the car door and strode away.
Steffan watched Jacobâs retreating figure for a good half-minute before averting his looked as lonely as a lone wolf.

âYes.â

Estherâs eyes lit up with surprise. âReally?â
âReally! If we move fast enough, we can stop the surgery,â Jacob said.
Esther became even more anxious upon hearing that. âQuickly, letâs go now.â
Jacob raised an eyebrow and suggested, âI suggest you call the police.â
âOh, alright.â
As they got into the car, Esther dialed the police and explained the situation, alerting them to the severe case of organ trafficking.
Sirens wailed as police cars raced toward the destination.
Esther nervously clutched the hands of Felix and Sunshine inside the car, her face now serious and determined.
Jacob observed her, noticing a familiar yet distant expression, thinking, âOther children are brought into this world through love.â
Outside, the passing scenery resembled a moving painting.
