Chapter 2524
Kyson sent a text but received no response.
What was Nathan up to?
In his arms, Destinee noticed Kyson making the call.
“Is Daddy’s phone off? Has he really abandoned me?”
Colby sat on the bed, looking just as distressed.
He hadn’t seen Lucinda and Nathan all day and felt as if they had left him behind.

“Kyson, can we go find Mommy? I need to sleep with Mommy.
I want her to tell me fairy tales…”
Destinee’s voice quivered as she tried to hold back her tears, showing a brave face.
Kyson was overwhelmed.
He gently explained, “Your daddy is very busy with work tonight, so he can’t come back.
It’s raining outside, and it’s not safe.
The city has been a dangerous place recently.
If we went out now, we might encounter bad guys who eat children.
”
But Destinee was undeterred.
“Hmph! If bad guys try to eat children, I’ll bite them back! One day, I’ll join the army and train to be a fighter.
Then I can protect Colby and Mommy!”
Colby looked amused by Destinee’s bold declaration, but he raised his eyebrows and adopted a cocky tone.
“Who needs your protection? I might not be strong, but I’m smarter than you.
”
Destinee didn’t argue back.
Instead, she clung to Kyson’s arm, pleading, “Kyson, can you take me to find Mommy? I won’t be able to sleep without her tonight…”
Kyson sighed deeply, pulling out his phone to try Lucinda’s number, but to no avail.
Confusion clouded his face.
What was happening with Nathan and Lucinda?
Did they conspire together?
Nathan’s phone was turned off, while Lucinda’s was set to airplane mode.
Kyson found himself comforting Destinee.
“Destinee, which fairy tale would you like to hear? I will tell you one later, okay? I’ve never put you to bed before.
I really want to try.
Destinee, will you let me?”
“Woo…”
Destinee seemed unsure.
Would her godfather feel very disappointed and sad if she said no?
The ward was quiet.
Kyson felt helpless, knowing that even if he managed to put Destinee to bed, he would still have to find a way to comfort Colby.
Destinee would listen to him, but Colby wouldn’t, making it hard for him to handle both kids at once.
When Kyson was unsure what to do next, Sonny returned with two large suitcases.
They were filled with children’s clothes; it seemed Sonny had brought all the kids’ clothes.
Sonny wasn’t sure how long the danger would last, so he brought all the autumn and winter clothes for the two kids.
With Sonny around, Kyson felt much relieved.
