Bella POV.
"Young master, it's too dangerous! Don't do that, young master ..."
"Shut up! Just back off!!! It’s none of your business."
"......"
I woke up to the sound of arguing coming from outside the window, and I could faintly hear the voice of a small child.
The voice of a small child?
At the thought of this, my eyes instantly widened. Could it be Yanni, my son?
I immediately jumped up from the bed and rushed to the window. Through the small window, I saw Yanni and a bodyguard standing outside.
Yanni was short, looking especially cute next to the stout black-clad bodyguard. He was wearing a blue suit jacket and a small hat on his little head.
Tears of excitement instantly welled up in my eyes. I shouted out in ecstasy.
"Yanni! Yanni!"
"Who? Who's that?"
Yanni, who was playing with the drone on the deck, heard my shout and looked around curiously.
I saw his reaction and waved vigorously at him from this side of the window.
"Here! Yanni, it's me! This way..."
Yanni heard my shout. He turned his head and saw me waving to him at the window. His expression showed no excitement at all. He’s even getting a little impatient, which looked much alike his daddy, Stinson. But he still came up to me, probably because of curiosity.
That's when the black-clad bodyguard reached out and stopped Yanni in front of him.
"Sorry to interrupt ... but time’s up. Young master, let's hurry back, or the president will be mad."
"Get out of the way!" Yanni pushed the bodyguard's hand away. The bodyguard didn't dare to fight back with force, so he could only let Yanni pass.
"Who are you?" Yanni came over to the window and looked up at me.
I really didn't expect to see my child again, whom I hadn't seen for five years. I finally couldn't help the tears from sliding down my cheeks. I missed him so much, and I felt like a bad mother.
Since the day I chose to leave Yanni with Stinson, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I missed him very much, and I wanted to know how he was doing.
I forced myself to play it cool. I carefully said in a smooth tone, afraid that I would scare him away.
"Yanni, it's me. We met at the hotel, remember? I’m your father’s doctor."
Yanni looked down and thought for a while, and he remembered.
"Oh, it's you! Why are you crying here? Did daddy scold you?"
"No, he didn’t. It's just that the wind blew the sand into my eyes. By the way, can you come over a little bit so that I can have a good look at you?"
"Young master ..." the bodyguard tried to stop.
"I said, get out of the way!" Yanni looked at the bodyguard mercilessly, as if he deliberately messed with that bodyguard. He came forward, with an almost indifferent expression on his face.
It was all my fault. If I hadn't left him with Stinson, he wouldn't have acted like this. He would have been lively, cheerful and smiley just like his brother Allen.
I reached out my hand from the window and tried to touch him. But he ducked back a little. I instantly felt as if I had been stabbed by a knife in my heart.
"Don't lie to me. You said you’re daddy’s doctor. I’m guessing that you had been scolded by daddy for not curing him. That’s why you were crying."
Yanni was just as smart as his brother, Allen. He could tell right away that I was lying. The thing was that I didn't really want to tell Yanni about my current situation. I couldn't tell him that I was caught by his daddy and locked up here.
It was getting late. The bodyguard urged, "Young master, it's already very late. You need to go back, or the president will get worried."
But Yanni didn't listen at all.
"It’s none of your business."
I was about to persuade Yanni to go back, when a figure came from the deck. The figure saw Yanni, walked straight over to him, and roughly grabbed the drone in Yanni's hand.
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go back early? Now go back to your room."
I looked in the direction of the voice. There standing a well-dressed tall woman with blond hair, who wore heavy makeup. She looked indifferent to Yanni.
Kelsey? Why was she here?
She didn't find me because I was inside the room in the ship's barn.
"Yanni! Put that down! now!"
Then she grabbed the remote control from Yanni's hand with force.
Yanni was holding the remote control with a deadly grip and stood there without saying a word. I could see that Yanni was a very stubborn child.
"You little bastard! You really think that I won’t spank you?"
Kelsey, feeling annoyed, began to yell at Yanni, and tried hard to pinch his arm. I saw that Yanni's little arm was bruised by her pinching.
This damn woman! Bitch! How dare she abused Yanni like this. From the tone of her voice, I could assume that this was not the first time she abused Yanni.
Yanni is a very stubborn kid. He never does what people tell him to do.
Kelsey saw that Yanni disobeyed her, and she couldn’t snatched the remote control from his hand. She was really pissed off. Her face turned pale.
"Let it go, you little bastard! If you don’t let it go now, you will be sorry."
Kelsey said and took out a workbox from her handbag. Then she took out a needle.
A needle! What was she doing?
Kelsey reached out to grab the remote control in Yanni’s hand, and then she suddenly jabbed his arm with that needle.
"Ouch, ouch..." Yanni cried out in pain. He let go of his arm, tears falling down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth in anger, and still said nothing. He just stared at Kelsey.
"Why are you staring at me? You deserve it! What!? You still didn’t learn your lesson?"
Then Kelsey threw the remote control onto the floor. She grabbed Yanni’s arm with one hand, and was about to jab him with the needle again.
Anger instantly rushed into my brain. I turned red and yelled at her, "Kelsey, let go of him! You got some nerve to abuse him like that!"
Kelsey was shocked, and only now did she discover my presence. She hurriedly let go of Yanni, who then instinctively ran two steps towards me.
Kelsey looked at me with a panicked look, a gleam of fear in her eyes. I knew she was not afraid of me, but afraid that her abuse of Yanni would be known to Stinson. I knew the last time I was at the hotel that Stinson would actually apologize to the child, proving that he cared much about his child.
"Kelsey, you damn woman. This is how you've been abusing Yanni for all these years?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. I was worried about him catching a cold, so I just wanted to send him back!"
Kelsey, as if she was a professional actress, pretended that nothing had happened and replied to me calmly in just a few seconds.
I was simply furious. I didn't expect her to be so brazen.
"I saw it clearly, you just abused Yanni. I’m sure that bodyguard saw it too."
Kelsey was stunned after hearing my words. She had a croocked smile on her face. She walked to the bodyguard, patted his shoulder with her hand and asked, "tell me, what did you just see?"
This black-clad bodyguard instantly had cold sweat on his forehead, and his face looked very nervous and fearful.
"... I saw Miss Kelsey worried that Young Master would catch a cold and buttoned him up."
"Well, did you hear that? I did not abuse Yanni. Why are you being so paranoid? You want to regain the position of young mistress by taking me down, don’t you? I'll tell you what, don't even think about it. Stinson only loves me." She said to me with this hypocritical expression.
Kelsey! That bitch!!!
If I wasn't locked in the room, I would have rushed up and punched this bitch on her nose. I let out a roar in angry.
"I'm warning you, BITCH!!! You know exactly what you did. Since I'm back now, I will never let you hurt him again. I've already died once, and I’m not afraid to die a second time. But if I die, I will definitely take you down with me! You hear me?"
Kelsey cringed and shuddered.
I looked at Yanni's little hand and tenderly called out to him, "Yanni, is your arm alright? I’m a doctor, let me see it."
Yanni looked up at me, his eyes were a bit confused.
"Yanni, come over here. Come on! Let me take a look ..." I stretched my hands out from the window and said to him again tenderly.
Yanni hesitated and finally slowly stood on tiptoe and reached his hand towards me.
But the next second, Kelsey quickly bent down and picked up the child.
"Hum, I know you want him to come closer for confirmation. I’m telling you, this kid is very naughty. He falls down a lot. If you want to use this to testify against me, you are making a mistake, because no one will believe you." Then Kelsey ordered the bodyguard, "Seal the window!"
"No ..."
I saw the window completely sealed. I began to scream as I clutched the iron bars with my hands.
I cried and screamed for quite a while, but I was ignored by those bodyguards.
I felt completely powerless to crumple to the bed. I have to think of a way to see Stinson. I can't just watch that woman abuse my son like that.
Just at this moment, I noticed a lot of broken glass on the floor. I picked up a piece.
I have to try......
I hesitated for a while. I gritted my teeth, and used that piece of glass to cut open my wrist.
The room was instantly filled with the smell of blood......
