CHAPTER 521. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. The Hunt“What do you mean you just got him back? Where were you coming from with him at this hour?”The woman hugged her son desperately and shook her head."A man took him yesterday," she sobbed, stroking his head. "He took him after school and called me. He said that if I didn’t take Anja Lieben to the supply room, he would hurt my son!"Milo clenched his jaw in frustration.“So, there wasn’t any emergency,” he murmured, watching the woman shake her head."No… I just broke those bottles to have an excuse to talk to her. She came with me, and then that man showed up and told me to leave. He gave me a paper with the address of a park where he left my son, and I ran… I ran to find him!"Looking at the child, it was clear she was telling the truth. That enraged Milo more than anything. Whoever was behind the attack on Anja was dangerous and willing to do anything. However, Jhon remained focused on the task at hand."Ma’am, is this the man who took your so

CHAPTER 523. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. You're Not Getting Away“The rest of you, let’s go in. Milo... how do you want him served?” Jhon asked seriously.“I don’t care as long as you find him. If he attacks, defend yourselves. Oh, and one more thing. Be careful. These abandoned factories are dangerous, still full of broken-down machinery.”Everyone made sure to stay cautious as they ventured into the dimly lit building.The team moved carefully through the rusted machinery, relics of an inactive past, with the foul stench of decay lingering in the air. They split into pairs, heading in different directions to search for the lawyer.At one point, Jhon covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, gagging from the putrid smell rising from the floor.“God! What’s that smell?” he muttered, gripping his weapon again.“Probably an old fermentation tank left unclean, now rotting,” Milo replied. “It’s nasty but dangerous too. This place had a whole pressurization system for brewing beer. Don’t touch

CHAPTER 525. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Hoping for the bestMilo sighed and forced a smile to reassure his mother. He left the hospital and went home to shower and change before going to see Niko—he didn’t want to scare him. Then he headed to Chiara’s apartment, and when he arrived, he found the little boy sitting in a chair, staring blankly with his arms crossed over his chest.But the moment he saw Milo, that posture disappeared."Daddy!" Niko shouted, running toward him. Milo opened his arms, holding him tight until the boy’s fear faded.Milo knew that, deep down, Niko harbored the fear of being abandoned. Not seeing his dad for hours had made him extra sensitive. He hugged Niko tightly, feeling the boy cling to him. They stayed like that for a long time until Milo finally pulled away to look him in the eyes."Hey, champ," he said. "You don’t have to be scared if Daddy’s not here. Don’t worry, I’ll never leave you, and I promise I’ll never stop loving you. Ever. I just had to be with Mommy

CHAPTER 527. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Here I AmAnja felt her heart race as she realized she could barely move. Her limbs felt heavy, and her weakness was undeniable."Doc, what’s going on?" Milo asked, noticing the doctor’s worried expression."I’m sorry, Anja, but I need to run a new sensitivity test to be sure. May I?" the doctor asked, pulling a pen from his coat pocket."Yes… of course…" she responded.The doctor carefully began passing the tip of the pen over Anja’s hands and feet."I need you to tell me which direction you feel the touch."Anja tried her best to answer, despite her growing anxiety. She could feel every touch, but her responses were weak, as if her senses were dulled."Anja," the doctor said gently, "it seems your nerves are functioning, but you’re experiencing significant weakness. We’ll need to run more tests to determine how serious this is, okay? The doctors will take you, and I’ll be with you in a moment."Unable to hold back her tears, Anja looked at Milo for com

CHAPTER 529. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Adult DiapersMilo lifted Anja in his arms to carry her to the car, settling her in the passenger seat before getting behind the wheel, ready to take her home. They drove in silence, but he noticed how one of Anja's fingers hovered over the window button. Milo rolled it down for her from his side, and she sighed softly as the morning breeze swept in."Thanks," she murmured, clenching her fist. "I have control of my hands, but I still don't have much strength.""You'll get it back, don't worry. Meanwhile, let’s get home and wash off this awful hospital smell," Milo smiled, but he couldn't help noticing the sadness and worry on Anja's face, like something was deeply troubling her. As he drove, he decided to muster up the courage and broach the topic."Anja, babe, how are you feeling? What's on your mind?" Milo asked gently.Anja stared out the window for a moment before replying in a shaky voice, "I can't stop thinking about what that nurse said. What if s
