The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate -
Chapter 996
Without hesitation, Bella responded, “My daughter’s name is Fiona.
She’s four, slender, with pale lips.
Her hair is golden and curly, and she has brown eyes.
She’s a nail-biter.
”
With the child’s features in mind, Zoe and I swiftly split up to search for her.
As I combed the stairwell, my phone chimed.
Glancing at the caller ID, I saw it was Elena.
I stepped into a quiet corner and tapped the answer button.
My daughter’s playful voice chimed in shortly after.
“Mommy, I miss you loads.
When are you coming back?”
“Elena, what’s keeping you busy?”
Elena replied, ‘m watching a cartoon with my brother in the hospital.
It’s so funny.
The children in the kindergarten are all watching it recently.
Dylan and I like it very much.
”
As anticipated, the cartoon’s background music kicked in as she finished speaking, the cheerful tunes filtering through the phone.
At that very moment, I heard a faint rustling coming from a corner of the staircase.
I swiftly scanned the area and spotted a young girl.
She peeked around cautiously, her curiosity piqued by the cartoon’s catchy tune.
The girl matched Fiona’s description.
She had shimmering golden locks, warm brown eyes, a slender frame, and a nervous habit of nail-biting.
She must be Bella’s daughter.
As soon as I ended the call, I approached the girl with careful, measured steps.
Drawing near, I crouched and asked gently, “You’re Fiona, right?”
The girl confirmed with a nod, her gaze a swirl of confusion and curiosity, unsure how I knew her name.
“Hello, Fiona.
I’m a friend of your mother.
” I introduced myself.
“Fiona, why did you leave? Your mother is incredibly worried.
She’s searching all over for you.
”
Fiona’s eyes flooded with tears, her expression filled with sorrow.
She sniffled and said between sobs, “I don’t want to be in the hospital.
I just want to go home.
”
Peering at Fiona’s pitiful face, I asked patiently, “Why? Did something happen?”
Tears streamed down Fiona’s flushed cheeks.
Her small, quivering shoulders revealed her deep distress, evoking sympathy from me.
My chest tightened.
I pulled her into my arms and said, “Please, Fiona, don’t cry.
You can tell me anything; your secrets are safe with me.
”
Fiona’s moistened eyes glistened.
She bit her trembling lip and said in a hushed voice, “My parents have been arguing a lot because I’m in the hospital.
I didn’t want them to fight anymore, so I ran away.
I thought everything would return to normal if I wasn’t in the hospital.
