Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

The door swung open. The moment the three older boys saw an adult, they tried to bolt. Seeing them run, Nina held out her chubby hand to grab one. "Bad guy!" She wouldn't let the bad guys get away. Clara reacted quickly, too. She helped Nina grab one of the older boys. The other two escaped. A 68 Finished The captured boy, now restrained by Clara, tried to lie his way out. "We were just playing around! You're hurting me. Don't pull me like this!" Clara wasn't buying it. "They've been beaten up. Does this look like playing to you?" She was furious.

Meanwhile, Nina, with a black eye, was wailing into her smartwatch, making calls. Her grandpa, dad, mom, uncles, aunts, Lucien, Barry, and Nelson-she called them all, one by one. She'd dial and burst into tears. Her crying sent panic through every person on the other end of the line. Barry was practically begging to get there as fast as possible. "Daddy, hurry! Nina's crying! I need to save her!" Barry urged frantically. Lucien was ready to jump in his own car, but Lucas stopped him in time. "Lucien, you can't drive that on the road.

Come on, take my car." Among the adults, William arrived the fastest. The sight of Nina with a black eye made his heart ache. "Who did this? Who hurt my child?" he demanded, his face furious as he scooped her up. Nina sobbed out what had happened. "Bad guy... hit Nina. Nina no win. Hit Nina. Many hit!" While Nina was crying and tattling, Clara was calling Ryder's parents. 1/3 17:16 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 275 Calling the Police : The phones of those two incredibly busy people were hard to reach. Clara tried several times before getting through.

As soon as the call connected, Clara urged them to come home. ⇨(68) Finished Clara explained anxiously, "Ryder and Kian have both been hurt by those older boys who came home with Kian. They're terrible..." But Ryder's father, Vance Kane, cut her off quickly, "I have urgent work to finish. I can't come back right now. How badly are they hurt? Take them to the hospital first. I'll be there as soon as I can." He still didn't want to drop everything and return. William, overhearing this, took the phone from Clara.

"Both your sons have been assaulted, and you, their father, won't come back to stand up for them? What kind of priorities are those?" he snapped into the phone. Vance was a notorious workaholic. Ryder's mother, Iris Kane, was a powerhouse career woman. William wasn't against adults pursuing their careers. But if you're so focused on work, why have kids? You have kids, but you don't have time for them and just leave them at home? You don't even have time to take care of them when they're hurt? If your schedule is that packed, why didn't you make time before you decided to become parents?

William was furious with this couple. Vance, on the other end, was stunned into silence. Soon, Iris and Vance rushed back. Adults poured in. Nelson, Lucien, and Barry had arrived, too. Nelson looked at Nina's injured little face, his eyes turning cold. The adults surrounded Nina, soothing and comforting her. When Iris and Vance arrived and saw other children ing soothed and held by a crowd of concerned family, they froze for a moment. 2/3 17:16 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 275 Calling the Police : C ) 68 Finished "Kian, Ryder, what happened?" Iris asked. Kian didn't mention being beaten.

He lowered his head. Unlike the other children who were snuggled in their parents' arms, voicing their grievances, he simply apologized to his parents. "I'm sorry, Mom, Dad. I interrupted your work. I didn't call you. Clara did. I'm sorry." His apology, delivered while standing alone, contrasted sharply with the other children being comforted. At that moment, the perpetually busy Iris and Vance felt as if they'd been slapped hard across the face. Their cheeks burned. The other parents looked at Kian's reaction, and their expressions instantly changed. Nathan knew Vance.

He looked at Vance with complex emotions. "Vance," he said quietly, "your son is far too well- behaved." Calling a child "too well-behaved" was not a compliment. Vance was lost for words. He walked over and pulled Kian closer. "No. No need to apologize," he said, his voice low. "Tell me what happened." While Vance was questioning Kian, Nina was overwhelmed. She had called in too many people. Everyone wanted to hold and comfort her, so Nina had to respond to each one-she was almost too busy to keep crying. Looking at all the hurt children, William turned to Lucas. "My child was assaulted.
