That night, sitting on the edge of the bed, Eliana was reading fairy tales to Aileen and Adrian.

After such a hectic day, Aileen was so tired that she fell asleep early.

Adrian, meanwhile, couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they were nearly kidnapped. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.

Eliana had just finished reading the story and was about to leave the room when a small hand suddenly grabbed hers.

“Mommy, I can’t fall asleep. Can you stay with me?” Adrian asked in a low voice, looking at Eliana earnestly.

Adrian was not the kind of child constantly asking for attention. So, Eliana couldn’t say no to him now.

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.”

So Eliana lay down in Adrian’s bed and held him in her arms.

“Is there anything bothering my darling baby? Tell me please,” Eliana said in a sweet voice.

Adrian buried his head in Eliana’s chest, hesitating to tell her or not. Finally, he decided to confess what he had done.

“Mommy, I’m sorry. What happened today was all my fault…”

“Honey, why did you say that?” Eliana asked in surprise.

With a guilty look on his face, Adrian explained, “Yes, it was all my fault. I was the one who secretly contacted Mr. Bowman. I think the men who tried to kidnap us today were sent by him. I’m sorry, Mommy. I didn’t think Mr. Bowman was such a bad person!”
