Chapter 17 Found You Finally

Jason stared at Bella who was barking crazily at him.

And he felt it so annoying.

But his smile was brighter and brighter.

The sun was so warm in the morning.

Everything was awake and was shiny under the sunlight.

However, Jessica didn’t have any mood to feel the greatness of the morning.

“Mom, is Jason home now?”

“No, Jessica. You didn’t find him, did you?”

Jessica was holding the phone with trembling fingers and answered, “Yes…”

“What should we do? I am so worried about Jason…” Martha cried.

Jessica became more nervous and felt ill at ease then.

“Mom, don’t cry. Jason will be just fine!”

She believed that Jason would be OK since he had gone through a lot with her.

“Jessica, you have been looking for him the whole night. How about we call the police?”

Jessica smiled bitterly and she knew that the policemen wouldn’t care about this since Jason was just missing for a night.

“Mom, don’t worry. You haven’t slept for a whole night. I worry about you. Go and take a nap. I will call you once I find him.”

Jessica hung up the phone and she tried so hard to calm herself down.

Then she kept walking forward.

She was so careful since she was afraid that she would miss any corner….

Chicago, the seaside

Now it was the season for the tide.

The waves rushed up the long coastline swashing against the rocks. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The sun was rising from the horizon with the bright sunlight shining on the blue ocean. It was as beautiful as an oil painting.

Jessica was nervous and she walked along the dyke by the sea and kept looking around.

“Oh no! A kid is drowning…”

Suddenly, someone was shouted among a group of people.

“A kid.” Jessica was frightened when she heard these two words.

Then she turned back hurriedly but she saw that there was a boy sitting by the dyke quietly.

Jessica was delighted.

Though she wasn’t familiar with the white jacket the boy was wearing, she couldn’t make a mistake by seeing his back.

Jason!

She cried out!

Suddenly, a wave rushed up and she saw that it was going towards the dyke. Jessica was too scared to breathe.

“Jason!”

She rushed to him.

However, Matthew was sitting on the rock and gazing at the boundless sea quietly.

The sunshine was bright, the sea was blue and the wind was cool. Besides, there were sea gulls.

All of these could make him feel at ease and comfortable.

It was the first time that he had seen the real world outside the house of Carters since he was born.

He didn’t need to learn those difficult and thick textbooks.

He didn’t need to be educated in a noble school.

And he didn’t need to take the responsibility to keep the family name going strong neither.

Matthew took a deep breath and it seemed that he could feel the saltiness from the air.

He liked it.

That was the feeling of freedom.

Seeing that huge waves were rising up and rushing to him, he was calmed.

He read an article named Mother is Like the Sea before.

That was the first time for him to know something about the word “mother”.

He knew that mentioning about his mom was a taboo in the house of the Carters.

Therefore, he had never asked and mentioned it.

He tried to play his role as a good son and a good family member of the Carters.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his father would not feel happy about that.

Gradually, he became more and more disappointed.

And Bella was his only friend that he could talk to.

But it pissed his dad off…

Was Bella still alive?

He closed his eyes when the waves were getting closer and closer.

“Sea, could you please tell me…” Matthew was talking to himself.

“No…”

Jessica’s heart almost stopped when she saw Jason was in a great danger.

At the nick of time, she ran as fast as she could.

She tried so hard to drag him back and hugged him tightly in her arms without any hesitation.

The huge waves hit Jessica’s back and the sound was so loud.

The waves felt like sweeping them away and they got socked in the waves. However, Jessica didn’t move at all but protected her son.

She hugged him tightly with trembling body.

She got wet from head to toe.

Jessica didn’t open her eyes until the sea was back to be quiet. Then she pulled out the kid in her arms.

And she saw that he was gazing at her with his eyes open.

Jessica cried and she held his face and kissed him.

“Jason, my sweet heart! I find you finally!”

Her tears were dripping down on Matthew’s face.

Matthew didn’t have any emotion but still stayed cold until the tears dripping down on his face.

His heart pounded faster suddenly.

Gazing at the stranger in front of him, he said in a husky voice, “Mom?” Matthew felt this word was so strange to him.

“Sweetie? Are you still scared? Don’t worry, mom is here. I got you, I got you…”

Jessica was still terrified and she was hugging him with trembling body, since she thought that her son would be swept into the sea by the waves. And she almost lost her son forever…

Thinking about that, Jessica couldn’t stop crying.
