Chapter 687


    “I want to save my son, my precious little one! Corinne, please help me, help me break open that door


    together!” Anya eximed, raising the chisel in her hand in excitement.

    Corinne watched Anya’s distressed and desperate state, squinting her eyes, feeling skeptical.


    At this moment, Anya did indeed seem different from her previous acts. It did not seem like she was


    pretending.


    If what Anya said was true, there might be a man inside that utility room who possibly took her child


    hostage.


    Could it be a burry? The thief was discovered by the child and, fearing the child’s cries would alert


    the adults in the house, resorted to harming the child to silence them.


    Considering this, with the safety of the child at stake, Corinne temporarily set aside her biased


    perspective of Anya and calmly advised her:


    “Don’t act rashly for now. Even if we break open the door, it won’t solve the problem if someone is


    holding your son, hostage. It might even provoke the person to take extreme measures and harm your


    son! We don’t know the situation inside the door or how many people are in there, so we should first


    call the people in your house before making any decisions!”


    After speaking, Corinne prepared to go find someone from the Riveras.


    However, Anya grabbed her, her eyes filled with panic, her voice trembling, “No need to call anyone.


    I’ve already called my brother. He and Jeremy wille right away! Corinne, we can’t leave. If we go,


    what if the bad person inside takes the opportunity to escape with my precious child?”


    Anya’s grip stopped Corinne in her tracks, plunging her into deep thought.


    Anya’s concern is indeed valid. Both of them going out would provide an opportunity for the bad guys to


    escape, but it wouldn’t be safe to leave one person here alone either..


    Since she mentioned that she already called her brother, Lucas, let’s wait here for a while!


    Corinne agreed to stay behind. “Alright! But no one should act recklessly until your brother and the


    others arrive!”


    Anya, for once, agreed with her. She nodded and tremblingly said, “Corinne, can you help me hold onto


    this for a moment? In case someone inside suddenly rushes out, you can defend yourself. My


    emotions. are too overwhelmed, and I can’t summon the strength.”


    Saying that Anya directly stuffed the sharp chisel into Corinne’s hand!


    Her action was too quick, and Corinne had no choice but to catch it. If she did not catch it, the chisel


    would have dropped to the ground and hit her foot!


    However, Corinne caught the chisel but did not have time to react to the next step when Anya suddenly


    seemed to lose her mind. She ran toward the storage room as if going crazy, shouting as she ran,


    “Joey, don’t be afraid! Mommy’s here to save you.”


    Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed. Not good! What is Anya up to? What is she doing? Did she forget about


    the agreement they just made?!


    She saw Anya rush over like a gust of wind and immediately yank open the door of the storage room!


    Contrary to her previous description of the door being difficult to open, it was almost effortlessly pulled.


    open!


    Whoosh!


    Various misceneous items poured out from the storage room, and a child’s body rolled out and fell


    among the clutter!


    Then, Anya’s piercing scream echoed throughout the Riveras.


    “Joey!!!”


    Seeing something was wrong, Corinne quickly approached and saw the motionless and pitiful little child


    lying in the heap of objects. Her pupils contracted, and she took in a sharp breath!
