Chapter 208

What do you mean, this mother got a target on her back? Are you telling me that someone is actually out for revenge on military families?”

“No way, who would stoop so low as to pick on military families?”

I didn’t get it, are you saying that Mom could be in danger too? So, if we keep an eye on her, we might get the kid back.

On the other side of the screen, the mother of the lost child, who had been lost in thought, perked up at these words and finally looked at Winnie, her eyes holding a glimmer of hope. She asked, “If I face this ordeal, does it mean my Lacy will come back safely?”

Her question sent a shock through the viewers watching the livestream. The silence from the guests was deafening, and even Candace couldn’t help but tear up.

Winnie paused for a moment before responding, “There’s no sure thing. This is a separate ordeal for both you and your kid.”

She continued, “Based on your astrological chart, I can tell your child is still safe for now, so you need to stay strong. The show’s crew is currently en route to Serenity City. I need you to think back. Is there someone who’s not a family member, but someone close who spends a lot of time with your child?”

“What do you mean?” Lacy’s mother’s eyes were red–rimmed, her voice hoarse, “Are you saying that someone close to me took my child?”

Winnie explained, “The signs in your astrological house indicate a connection, suggesting the person is someone you know, or have met before. If the same person is behind both your and your child’s trials, then we might find a clue by starting with them.

Your niece mentioned the child disappeared from the neighborhood. The police couldn’t find footage of the child being taken out of the area, so it’s possible the person is still in the neighborhood, and it’s very likely someone who lives there and has come into contact with you and your child.”

Winnie’s analysis brought a glimmer of hope to the situation. Across from her, Lacy’s mom stood up from her chair as if struck by a bolt of lightning, her mind racing to make sense of it all.

In her urgency, her brainstorming seemed all the more strenuous.

Seeing her struggle, Kane stepped in to guide her, “Don’t panic. First, think about anyone in the neighborhood you’ve had issues with. Has there been any conflict with you or your child during playtime?”

Following Kane’s lead, Lacy’s mom calmed down a bit and thought for a while before mentioning two neighbors she and her child had conflicts with, but they were minor like
