CHAPTER 512. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. A Good planMilo was overwhelmed with a mixture of anger and frustration upon learning that Hamish had been released on bail. Although his trial was scheduled for just a few days later, Milo couldn't shake the unease at the thought that Hamish might come near them. However, he decided to remain calm and trust that the extra security measures would be enough."I can’t believe it," he growled, pacing back and forth in the office, fists clenched at his sides as he spoke.Anja nodded. She knew how Milo felt, but it didn’t change the law."Come on, Milo, it's attempted theft, not murder. It was inevitable he’d get out on bail.""Yeah, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying. He better not come near us, because I swear I won’t be able to control myself!"Anja tried to think of something comforting to say but finally just moved closer and hugged him."Sweetheart, this is nothing," she said soothingly. "The trial is soon. I’m sure he won’t risk doing something st

CHAPTER 514. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Friends and Enemies 1Milo and Anja arrived at the party, both excited and nervous about hosting such an important event for them. The room was adorned with bright, colorful lights, and soft music filled the air.As the guests began to arrive, they welcomed them with smiles and thanked them for supporting their project. Among the guests were friends, family members, and representatives from various government agencies, all interested in helping the victims of baby trafficking.While Milo greeted a group of friends, Anja felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to find the mischievous and scrutinizing gaze of an older woman. She became nervous as she realized the woman was looking her up and down with a critical eye before nodding."So, where are you hiding the whip in that dress?" Luana asked, and Anja burst out laughing, opening her arms to give her mother-in-law a big hug.Milo had told her that his mother was a wonderful woman and that she wouldn'

CHAPTER 516. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. DesperationInstinctively, Anja covered her mouth and nose, but the fumes were too strong. She had no idea what they were, but the liquid was still spilling from the containers, and she suspected it had to be some kind of cleaning product because the effect was immediate. Panic gripped her as she saw Hamish leave. She ran to the door, desperate to escape the dangerous environment.However, when she reached the door, she only managed to slam into it, hearing Hamish laugh after locking it from the outside. His disturbingly expressive face, twisted into a satisfied smile, appeared through the small window, heightening Anja's fear."Hamish, let me out! This is dangerous!"Hamish stared at her without moving or speaking, and Anja quickly tore a piece of her dress to cover her nose, feeling panic and frustration building inside her."Hamish! This isn't just a stupid robbery anymore," she hissed, coughing violently. "If you don't let me out, I’ll accuse you of

CHAPTER 518. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Stay strongA second later, Milo climbed into the ambulance while Speedy went to inform the family of what had happened and to gather everyone to head home. He lifted little Niko and left in the first truck. One disaster per night was more than enough—he wasn't about to take his eyes off that child for anything in the world.Meanwhile, Milo prayed for everything to turn out well. Sitting in a corner of the vehicle, he held Anja’s hand as two paramedics struggled to intubate her."We can't do a tracheotomy here!""But the tube won’t pass, and she’s not breathing!"The paramedic paused, thinking for a terrible moment."Wait! We’ve got pediatric equipment! The endotracheal tubes are smaller. Maybe a smaller one will work..."It was a desperate measure, but just a minute before they reached the hospital, they finally managed to ventilate her. The ambulance screeched to a stop on the pavement, its lights flashing and siren wailing in the cold night air. Anja

CHAPTER 520. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Go away!Milo grabbed the phone and started going through the files of each server, comparing the faces in the photos with the one he remembered. After a few minutes, he found what he was looking for. Her name was Mélanie, and she had been working as a server for two years."This is her," he confirmed.“Let me find her address.”After a few more minutes of searching, they discovered that the girl lived nearby, just seven blocks from the building."Let’s go."They left quickly, and a few minutes later, they arrived at Melanie’s apartment, located in a somewhat rundown but central building in the city. It was early morning when they knocked on the door, and judging by how quickly the girl answered, it was clear she hadn’t been able to sleep."Hasn’t anyone ever told you to look through the peephole before opening?" Jhon said, irritated. "Do you know how many girls your age get kidnapped for being careless?"Melanie stepped back, frightened, but then she sa
