Chapter 1078 Do Not Give Yumi Up
Sophia’s head spun. Her eyelids only twitched when she heard her brother calling out to her. The instant she
opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of Franklin’s anxious expression.
“F-Franklin…” Ugh! I feel so dizzy. What’s going on here?
Balling her hands into fists, she thumped her head incessantly, forcing herself to recall the events that transpired
earlier. “Why are you alone, Sophia? Wasn’t Yumi playing with you? Why did I only see you here? Where is she?”
Franklin inquired, helping her up.
Following his reminder, Sophia’s memories surged to the forefront. In utter panic, she exclaimed, “Oh no, Franklin!
Yumi was knocked out by that evil woman! She was initially targeting me, but Yumi saved me.”
Xavian and Clayton rushed over. When they didn’t see Yumi, their faces immediately darkened frightfully. “What
happened next, Sophia? Where’s Yumi?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia bit her lip hard as she attempted to recall some leads, but her memories stopped at the point where she
collapsed to the ground after having been smothered with a wet towel.
While she was lying on the ground, she vaguely saw the woman rendering Yumi unconscious.
So overwrought that her eyes went scarlet like a rabbit’s, she frantically clutched Franklin’s arm. “She must have
been taken away by that evil woman! She’s in extreme danger now! She was taken away in my stead, so you all
must figure out a way to save her!”
Franklin, Xavian, and Clayton looked at each other.
We probably can’t depend on the teachers. If they were of any use, that evil woman wouldn’t have possibly been
able to enter the kindergarten so easily. At the moment, we must contact Mommy at once regarding this matter!
As the eldest among them all, Franklin swiftly made the division of tasks.
“Xavian, go and check the kindergarten’s surveillance footage right away. See whether you can find any leads
about that woman’s identity. Clayton, you go and inform the kindergarten about Yumi’s disappearance. As for me,
I’m going to keep Sophia company here and also convey this information to Mommy. Although Yumi isn’t related to
us by blood, we can’t give her up!”
Nodding, Xavian and Clayton started going about their tasks respectively.
Meanwhile, Franklin whipped out his phone from his pocket and gave Natalie a call.
When Natalie was handling the final document, she glimpsed a call from Franklin flashing on her phone screen.
At this hour, they should all be studying at the kindergarten. Why would they call me out of the blue? They’re
usually exceedingly obedient and independent. If it isn’t something decidedly tricky, they seldom take the initiative
to phone me.
The veins at her temples pulsed. Without an ounce of hesitation, she answered the call.
“Hello—”
“Mommy, it’s me, Franklin! Today, a woman broke into the kindergarten. She wanted to kidnap Sophia, but for
some unknown reason, she changed her target, knocking out and taking Yumi away,” Franklin reported, cutting
straight to the chase.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What?”
Hearing that, Natalie frowned deeply. Unadulterated shock surfaced in her eyes.
Yumi has been kidnapped!
“Is there any blood at the scene?” Natalie demanded.
“No. Yumi was probably not hurt, but I don’t know whether that will remain true.” Franklin’s breathing turned heavy.
“Okay, I got it. All four of you are to stay together. Do not go anywhere else alone. I’ll have Yandel come over and
protect you all. Each and every one of you is my weakness,” Natalie said, trying to console him.
Franklin clenched his hands tightly into fists.
Ultimately, he mustered his courage and pleaded, “Mommy, don’t give Yumi up.”
“Huh?”
Natalie was stunned for a moment, never having expected her son to say such a thing.
“Mommy, while she isn’t our biological sister… I hope she can return safely…” Franklin uttered with much difficulty.
Abruptly comprehending why he was making such a comment, Natalie declared resolutely, “Franklin, since I
adopted her, I’ll naturally treat her the same as Sophia. No matter the circumstances, I’ll never abandon her!”
After Franklin received that reply from her, his voice was no longer as tense and depressed. “Don’t worry about us,
Mommy. Go and save her. As the eldest, I’ll take good care of Xavian, Clayton, and Sophia.”
“Okay,” Natalie answered.
