Indeed, Cai had only intended to hide for a while but after scouting down under the stares, two men came and looked at her with a visible excitement like they had found a world treasure but they never at once recognised An kai who stood not far away carefully studying the little fella who was enjoying taunting her mother. he kept his sight on Cai like it was the best thing he could do but things changed when the woman came towards the stare case.
Cai? come out here now or you won't like what mommy will do to you! come out now! resorting to threats, Roline kept her panicked face but with a straight voice, she continued to circle around the places that were near the entrance heading to the art studio and very soon she caught sight of An kai
Following Roline around had practically became Wang's job too, he had kept watching over Cai secretly just to let Roline suffer her luck of support towards what the letter wanted but the recently unsettle Roline stood in one sport looking at a different direction, too far away from where Wang had seen Cai hiding but turning out of instincts, he caught sight of a what seemed to a fiction character. with his eyes slightly curled into crescents due to the smile he was hesitantly forming. it felt like he didn't intend it but he looked very much captivating but completely ignorant of the woman who had all her attention on him.
"...Kai..is it really you...Roline shuttered but she had forgotten about Cai and put all her focus on An kai and she robotically started to move forward in an attempt to get to where he sat but a feminine voice came before she could even take another step.
Tong, in a mid dress and flat stringed shoes, walked down with a painting as she called, "Ak, we should go, Grandfather is already at the airport, your classes will begin next week here but you just need to bring your Mind to focus, no need for stress. but as she approached, An kai tried to pull his body from the spot he was sitting in with the help of a man who stood beside him while another pushed a wheelchair forward and the two helped him to sit properly before proceeding towards Tong who stood a few steps from where Cai scouted.
Unable to speak, An kai kept his focus on the child given that not everyone had a good heart but before he could make efforts to let the other party know where the child was, Roline collapsed to the floor with a thud! and her purse stopped right before An kai's legs that were covered in black pants.
Wang rushed over immediately and pulled the latter up before carrying her as he tried to dart his eyes to find Cai but the sight before him startled him on the spot: Cai must have wanted to get her mothers' purse that she left her hiding place and walked over to An kai with a chicky face.
Picking the purse up, An kai pushed it into Cai's chubby hands with a slight smile. he may have wanted to say something but due to the long coma he had, his ability of speech was so slow that he resorted not to say anything at all.
OPening her mother's purse, Cai picked notes and tried handing them over but An kai didn't touch them, he continued to stare at her like that, giving the 'generous' Cai no option but to dig deep and get out a photo.
"My mommy has a car. she said as she scanned the wheelchair he was in. completely ignoring the two men and a woman who were in a hurry to leave. after, Cai took the purse and placed casually into the bin without the care about the money notes inside.
If we're to put it this way, Christina's present to Roline was not stolen but rather, thrown away. what pissed Christina was the fact that the photo she had gifted it along with, was lying in Rolines house!
But Roline too didn't know the way she lost it because, after three hours of unconsciousness, she woke up to find Wang's worried face looking at her intently.
"You scared the crap out of me, you two should stop playing around like unruly boys- he warned but Roline ignored his warnings."
"Where is Kai?" Roline asked but Wang smiled tenderly before assuring her.
"She's fine, she is just below th...."
"I don't mean the child, I ...I...An kai, I saw him on the resting seats behind the left rails in the lobby, he must be here for us...
