Madeline stumbled over and anxiously grabbed Sophia's arm, asking, "What's going on?"

Sophia, frantic because he couldn't find his child, squatted on the roadside crying. When he saw the two of them coming over, he cried even louder.

"Don't cry first, explain the situation clearly." Patrick said.

Sophia wiped the tears from his face and choked out, "Just now when I was on the phone, two men suddenly rushed out from behind me and snatched the child away like that."

"When I caught up, they had already driven away in a car. I followed in a taxi, but there was too much traffic at the intersection and I lost them."

Madeline had been crying for too long, tears covering her face, her eyes red and swollen.

Patrick's pupils tightened sharply at the words.

Just after Freya and Bradley had an accident, the child was then abducted. This may seem unrelated, but upon closer examination, it is not so simple.

Without saying much, he picked up his phone and made a call, "Pull up all the traffic monitoring videos on Capital Avenue for me."

After hanging up the phone, Patrick calmly reassured the two women, saying, "Don't panic. If it's a kidnapping, they will contact us soon. I've already reported to the police, and the entire city police force is mobilized. All the exits of the city are blocked, so the criminals won't escape easily."

"Sister, brother-in-law, it's all my fault. I didn't take care of the kids properly, if something happens to them, I..."

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself," Patrick interrupted her.

Madeline, because of the loss of the children, was on edge and leaned despairingly on Patrick.

She should have blamed Sophia, but when she got off the car and saw Sophia's helpless look, she couldn't bring herself to be angry.

Patrick was right, it wasn't Sophia's fault. Recently, Sophia had been taking care of the kids wholeheartedly to help her deal with household chores, which was more than enough.

If she blamed her for a small oversight, how would she be any different from people like Lina?

*Ding!*

At that moment, Madeline's phone received a text message.

She opened it anxiously, and when she saw the content of the message, her emotions completely collapsed.

"Nan Patrick, he is our child."

This is a MMS with a photo of two children, clearly taken in a dark place with poor lighting, making the children's outlines appear somewhat blurry.

But Madeline could still recognize her two sons at a glance.

Just as Patrick was about to take the phone to look, the phone rang again.

It was an unknown number.

Madeline was anxious to answer, but Patrick raised his hand to stop her, "Turn on the speaker and the recording function."

Madeline nodded, then answered the call, "Who are you, why did you kidnap my children?"

After a moment of silence, a sharp female voice came from the other end, "Madeline, are you worried that your sons are missing? Don't be afraid, I will keep them for you to come and meet your doom."

Madeline's pupils dilated sharply, she turned to look at Patrick.

She was not unfamiliar with this voice.

Patrick naturally also heard it, clearly it is... Ariana?

"Ariana, how could you be so heartless as to kidnap two children under the age of One? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" Madeline's voice was hoarse with urgency, accompanied by a sob.

"Am I heartless?" Ariana laughed fiercely, "You took away what belongs to me, the real heartless one is you. If it wasn't for you deliberately seducing Patrick, I would have married him long ago. But because of your appearance, Patrick abondoned me and went to you, even got married and had children with you. The current situation I am in is all thanks to you.

Now I have nothing left, there is nothing for me to fear. If I can't break you and Patrick apart, I will kill your two sons."

Ariana naturally heard about the Uncle incident, now that her only pillar has turned against her, what else does she have to rely on?

She knows very well who is behind all this, Patrick, in order to be with Madeline, did not hesitate to go against the Ariana family. With Uncle 's defeat, she will be next.

Ariana thought for a moment, instead of waiting for Patrick to come find her, she decided to take the initiative and attack.

"Don't hurt them." Madeline clenched her phone tightly, her palm sweaty.

Ariana has lost her mind now, to be able to commit such a kidnapping, she is likely to do even more extreme actions.

She couldn't calm down and think rationally, she could only keep pleading with her not to harm the children.

"If you want them to live, come see me yourself. Remember, don't bring anyone, not even Patrick!" Ariana said fiercely.

Madeline didn't think much and immediately replied, "Okay, I promise you. Where are you now? Give me a location, I promise not to bring anyone."

Seeing her so nervous, the other party let out a wicked smile.

"Madeline, I didn't expect you to be scared too. Alright, since you love your sons so much, come over within half an hour. If you don't show up, I will throw your twin sons directly into the sea to feed the sharks."

Patrick stood quietly beside and at this point, his pupils sharply constricted, then he took out his phone and sent out a command.

"Concentrate on searching all coastal areas."

Madeline was about to ask where the other party was, but the call had already ended.

A few seconds later, a text message popped in.

"Drive yourself to the intersection of X Street and stop there. My people will come to pick you up. Remember, if you dare to bring anyone, I can't guarantee what will happen to your children."

Madeline looked at the message, her voice choked up, "Patrick, I'll drive your car there, you find a way to come and pick me and the children up."

After speaking, she ran towards the direction of the car.

At this moment, the key was speed.

With Ariana's current crazy state, she was capable of doing anything.

Sophia followed closely and urgently said, "Sis, I'll go with you."

Madeline got into the car and stopped her, saying, "I can go alone, your brother-in-law will secretly send someone to follow me, don't worry."

After speaking, she stepped on the gas, and the car quickly drove towards the designated location.

Patrick just finished a phone call and hung up, then said to Sophia, "Let's go, we will follow from a distance."

Upon hearing this, Sophia's tears flowed even more urgently.

Although her sister and brother-in-law didn't blame her, the more they didn't, the more guilty she felt.

Regardless, it was her carelessness that allowed the two children to be kidnapped. No matter what, she had to personally bring the children back.

Madeline drove the car to the intersection of X Street as Ariana instructed. As soon as she got out of the car, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a hand. Before she could scream, a sharp blade was placed against her neck.
