Chapter 148 

He never left Rosita’s side, keeping watch over herand over the promise he’d sworn to keep for a lifetime

On the third day, Irwin began to throw a fit at Southcreek Manor

He only had Sylvie for company now, his dad hadn’t come home in three days, and even though Irwin begged to go to the hospital to see Mom Rosita, his father wouldn’t allow it

Irwin felt trappedfrustrated, hurt, and deep down, more afraid than anything else

Ever since he got back from the hospital a few days ago, he’d been plagued by nightmares. Every night, he dreamed of his mom and dad cradling their new baby while he stood all alone in the corner, forgotten

That night, the nightmares returned

In his dream, he kept calling out for his parents, but no matter how loud he shouted, they never heard him

He woke up with a start. The little nightlight by his bed cast a soft glow across the room, but the emptiness only made him feel more alone

Fear crept in. Hugging the stuffed animal Briony had bought him, Irwin sobbed and sobbed, clutching it tightly until exhaustion pulled him back under

The following morning. Sylvie prepared breakfast as usual and went upstairs to wake Irwin

She knocked before gently pushing open the door. Sweetheart, breakfast is ready. Time to get up- 

Her words caught in her throat

Sylvie rushed across the room, staring in disbelief at the empty bed

Irwin?” 

She called out, panic rising in her voice, as she hurried to check the bathroom

No one. The bathroom was empty

Her heart pounding, Sylvie dashed out, searching the upstairs hallway

Irwin? Irwin, where are you?” 

Please, honey, say something! Don’t scare me like this, I’m begging you!” 

She scoured every room upstairs, then raced downstairs, but there was no sign of Irwin anywhere

Desperate, she ran to check the security cameras

There he wasat just after six in the morning, before the sun was even up, Irwin had slipped out of his room

He wore only his pajamas, barefoot, clutching his stuffed animal, Tears streamed down his face as he made his way downstairs

On the footage, he wandered through the vast, empty living room, calling out Daddyand Mommybetween 

sobs

His cries were loud enough to be picked up by the cameras, but Sylvie, fast asleep in the housekeeper’s quarters on the first floor, had heard nothing at all

Finally, Irwin opened the front door by himself and disappeared outside

When Sylvie saw this, she felt as if the floor had dropped out from under her. She collapsed, stunned and terrified

It was overshe was done for 

Chapter 148 

Stewart’s phone rang at eight that morning

By then, Irwin had already been missing for two hours

The moment he heard that Irwin was gone, Stewart’s heart skipped a beat. His face darkened; there was no time for blame

He immediately mobilized everyone he could to search for his son

Meanwhile, Irwin was at the police station

Half an hour earlier, a sanitation worker had spotted the little boy, barefoot and crying as he wandered the street. The worker called the police at once

Officers from the nearest station arrived and brought Irwin back

In the reception area, a young female officer draped her own coat around Irwin’s shoulders and bought him a warm breakfast

Bundled up in the oversized coat, Irwin’s cheeks slowly regained their color as he ate, thawing out from the morning chill 

Once he’d finished, he finally stopped crying and sat quietly on the chair. He looked so small and solemn, it was enough to break anyone’s heart

The officer gently patted his head. Hey, sweetheart, can you tell me your mom and dad’s names? We’ll help you find them, okay?” 

Irwin blinked up at her with wide, tearswollen eyes. My dad’s name is Stewart. My mom is Briony.”
