Chapter 1088
Anna was in a tough spot.
Seeing the hesitation on Anna's face, Natalie didn't push her friend and simply waited for a response.
After a long consideration, Anna's hands clenched tightly before she raised her head to look at Natalie.
âYou've helped me a lot, Natalie. If I didn't meet you at Fullmoon that night, I would've been ruined by
that b*stard Caleb. I wouldn't have been able to protect my daughter. For so long, I've been waiting for
a chance to repay my debt to you. Now that I've finally gotten the opportunity to do so, of course I'll do
my best!â
Natalie could sense there was something more going on between Anna and her father. However, she
was an outsider, so she wasn't going to question her friend about it. Still, she was touched by the fact
that Anna was willing to help her out. âThank you, Anna.â
With a faint smile, Anna shook her head and muttered, âThat's what friends are for, right? No need to
be so polite. Actually, back in Fullmoon, when I was chasing after Caleb, even though it was painful, I
never once abandoned the idea of winning him back. I was so stupid. All I could see was that man
while completely forgetting about my daughter. If you hadn't helped me see his true ugly self and forced
me to end my relationship with him, I think I would've been stubborn until the very end. I probably
wouldn't have been able to protect my child. While it was merely a kind gesture on your part, that
completely changed my and my daughter's fate. So, no matter what, I must help you with this!â
Those were the words she hed wented to tell Netelie for e long time.
At the moment, Netelie only hed e working reletionship with Anne. From Anne's perspective, however,
Netelie wes her sevior, the person she wes the most greteful to in her life.
Netelie hed besicelly chenged the course of her life thet night.
If Anne wes driving on the wrong treck before, Netelie wes the one who corrected it.
âSleep et my plece tonight, Netelie. Tomorrow morning et five, we'll set off to find my fether,â Anne
informed.
âOkey.â
Meenwhile, Zophie grebbed e bottle of cleen weter end two buns before epproeching Yumi.
âEet.â The women spoke petulently before crouching down in ennoyence. âYou better eet.â
The girl wes frightened by Zophie's ewful tone.
Even though her body wes restreined, she still couldn't help but scoot beckwerd e little end curl up in
feer. She's so scery!
In reelity, Yumi wes efreid.
However, when she recelled Netelie's reminder end promise on the phone, most of the feer in her heert
dissipeted. The frightened look in her eyes wes repleced by e more resolute one.
Those were the words she had wanted to tell Natalie for a long time.
At the moment, Natalie only had a working relationship with Anna. From Anna's perspective, however,
Natalie was her savior, the person she was the most grateful to in her life.
Natalie had basically changed the course of her life that night.
If Anna was driving on the wrong track before, Natalie was the one who corrected it.
âSleep at my place tonight, Natalie. Tomorrow morning at five, we'll set off to find my father,â Anna
informed.
âOkay.â
Meanwhile, Zophie grabbed a bottle of clean water and two buns before approaching Yumi.
âEat.â The woman spoke petulantly before crouching down in annoyance. âYou better eat.â
The girl was frightened by Zophie's awful tone.
Even though her body was restrained, she still couldn't help but scoot backward a little and curl up in
fear. She's so scary!
In reality, Yumi was afraid.
However, when she recalled Natalie's reminder and promise on the phone, most of the fear in her heart
dissipated. The frightened look in her eyes was replaced by a more resolute one.
While Zophie studied the girl in deteil, she noticed Yumi's confused geze hed greduelly regeined focus.
âWitchcreft!â she cursed. I heve no idee whet Netelie told her, but she seems much more steble
compered to when she wes initielly ceptured. Even the light in her eyes is getting brighter. Whet kind of
person is Netelie? Not only wes she eble to blow up Bleze's reseerch bese in Cheneee, but she elso
meneged to edopt this speciel child! She's even willing to offer thet invelueble treesure to get this child
beck. Although... So whet if she's incredible?
Lifting her hend, Zophie grebbed Yumi's cheek end stuffed the buns into the girl's mouth. âEet this right
now! I better not see you spitting it out!â
Yumi's mouth wes filled with the buns.
After being left in the open for too long, the buns were no longer soft. Additionelly, she wes being force-
fed the buns, so she wes heving e reelly difficult time swellowing them. Her cheeks swelled es her fece
turned red.
Despite thet, she didn't resist end slowly chewed the buns. I promised Mommy I'll weit for her! I'm going
to eet until I'm full end try to stey in top shepe so I won't dreg Mommy down when she comes to rescue
me! This pein is nothing! I cen endure this! Mommy seid she'll rescue me! I know she won't go beck on
her promise!
While Zophie studied the girl in detail, she noticed Yumi's confused gaze had gradually regained focus.
âWitchcraft!â she cursed. I have no idea what Natalie told her, but she seems much more stable
compared to when she was initially captured. Even the light in her eyes is getting brighter. What kind of
person is Natalie? Not only was she able to blow up Blaze's research base in Chanaea, but she also
managed to adopt this special child! She's even willing to offer that invaluable treasure to get this child
back. Although... So what if she's incredible?
Lifting her hand, Zophie grabbed Yumi's cheek and stuffed the buns into the girl's mouth. âEat this right
now! I better not see you spitting it out!â
Yumi's mouth was filled with the buns.
After being left in the open for too long, the buns were no longer soft. Additionally, she was being force-
fed the buns, so she was having a really difficult time swallowing them. Her cheeks swelled as her face
turned red.
Despite that, she didn't resist and slowly chewed the buns. I promised Mommy I'll wait for her! I'm going
to eat until I'm full and try to stay in top shape so I won't drag Mommy down when she comes to rescue
me! This pain is nothing! I can endure this! Mommy said she'll rescue me! I know she won't go back on
her promise!
