Chapter 17 Take Abel Away "Yakira!" The second Brayden entered the apartment complex, he saw Yakira with Daron in her arms. They were chatting happily. Brayden strode over. Yakira became nervous at once. "Brayden? What are you doing here?" "Come here, Daron," Brayden ordered. Daron glared at him before burying himself deeper into Yakira's embrace. Meanwhile, she instinctively held him more tightly. She was surprised that Brayden would find out about Abel so soon. No wonder he mentioned "child" the last time. It turned out he had already known. Chapter 17 Take Abel Away "Deon," Brayden said icily. Then Deon stepped forward and took Daron away from Yakira. "Let go of me! Let go!" Daron shouted, struggling desperately. Yakira lunged forward. "Let go of Abel!" Brayden stood in front of her. "Brayden, he's my son!" she said hastily. He reached out, gripped her by the neck, and pulled her closer to him. "Yours? Do you deserve to be his mother?" Feeling suffocated, she couldn't even utter a word and could only struggle hard. "Let go of Mommy!" Seeing this, Minnie ran forward and kicked Brayden's shin. "Bad guy, let go of Mommy!" Upon seeing Minnie, Brayden was even more furious. "Yakira, you're not allowed to come anywhere near Daron again." With that, he tossed her away. Yakira fell to the ground, her back slamming against a stone Chapter 17 Take Abel Away pillar. She frowned in pain. "Mommy, are you OK?" Minnie rushed over at once. She said, forcing a smile, "Yes, I'm fine." Meanwhile, Brayden strode away with Daron in his arms. "Brayden, give Abel back to me!" Yakira stood up with difficulty and chased after him. Both Minnie and Abel meant the world to her. But Brayden's bodyguards blocked her way . She could only watch as Brayden left with Daron. "Brayden, give Abel back to me..." She wanted to catch up with them, but the bodyguards made it impossible. They left only after Brayden got into his car with Daron. Yakira slumped to the ground. She thought, "Brayden is determined to take Abel away from me. "He already has a girl with Patricia, hasn't he? "Why? Why would he snatch Abel away from me?" "Mommy, don't cry." Seeing the tears on Yakira's face, Minnie burst into tears. Her cries snapped Yakira out of it. Looking at Minnie, whose face was filled with tears, she quickly wiped away her tears and pulled herself together. "Minnie, don't cry. I'm fine. "Let's go and get Abel back, OK?" She stood up and headed outside the complex while holding Minnie's hand. She must get Abel back at all costs. Abel, who had taken a walk, happened to see them and ran toward them. "Mommy, where are you going?" "Abel?" Yakira couldn't believe her eyes. "Abel, he let you back?" What was going on? Abel was totally at a loss. Chapter 17 Take Abel Away Seeing this, Minnie quickly said, "Abel, didn't Bad Daddy take you away? " He immediately understood. Daron and Brayden had come, and Brayden had taken Daron away right before Yakira's eyes. "I ran away," he said. Yakira was relieved when she saw Abel. However, at the thought of Brayden knowing Abel's existence, she was uneasy again. She was so preoccupied that she didn't notice Abel's outfit at all. "Abel, Minnie, let's go." She took them out of the complex and hailed a cab. Then they got into the cab hastily. She thought, "Brayden has known about Abel. He's set to take Abel away from me and won't stop till he does. "Now that Abel has gotten away, he'll surely come back. "We can't live in this complex anymore. We should leave Retston as soon as possible." Chapter 17 Take Abel Away "Let go! Let go of me! Brayden, I said let go!" Daron snapped. "Brayden, I wanna be with Mommy!" He had felt loved by his mommy for only a second. Brayden pulled a long face. "She doesn't deserve to be your mother." "Oh, and you deserve to be my father?" Daron fumed. Brayden's expression darkened even more. "Brayden, if you don't let me out, I'll jump!" Saying this, Daron tried to open the door. But it was locked. "Ralph," Brayden said coldly. Hearing Ralph's name, Daron seemed terrified. Meanwhile, Ralph took out a needle and injected Daron with a sedative before he could react. In an instant, Daron felt his eyelids becoming heavy, and then he fell unconscious. Brayden held Daron in his arms. Chapter 17 Take Abel Away Glancing at Daron, Ralph reminded him, "Bray, I gotta remind you something. Daron has already known Yakira is here in Retston, and you saw it yourself-he's experienced great mood swings."" Brayden frowned. It never occurred to him that Daron actually knew Yakira was in Retston and even found out where she lived. "Bray, given this, I think you should give it a go-let Yakira spend some time with Daron. Maybe it'll help with his condition." For Daron's sake, Ralph couldn't help but persuade Brayden again. Looking at Daron, Brayden said nothing, his expression unfathomable, making it impossible for anyone to know what he was thinking. Ralph said nothing more. Yakira took Minnie and Abel to Conrad. She didn't know who else to turn to in Retston. She had had a lot of friends when she was the rich heiress of the Wilkinson family. But they all distanced themselves from her after her family's bankruptcy. Only Thelma stuck around. But Thelma wasn't in Retston. Conrad was the only person she could think of. "Kira, you can stay here with Minnie and Abel for now. The security here is perfect; only residents here can enter." Upon receiving her call, Conrad immediately arranged a place for them to live. "Thank you, Conrad." Yakira didn't know what else to say. He smiled bitterly, "Kira, as I said, you never have to thank me."" "And 000 I don't think I can go to the Blanchard Group anymore," she said, feeling awkward. She knew Brayden would definitely make things hard for Conrad if she didn't show up. But she must leave Retston now. Chapter 17 Take Abel Away She had made up her mind-she'd go back to Peraham with Minnie and Abel tomorrow. After settling down, she'd take Sharlene back to get treated there. Conrad nodded understandingly. "I'll handle it. Do you need any help going back to Peraham?" "No. I've bought tickets already and will leave tomorrow afternoon. Brayden won't know I'm here in a short while, so I think we can leave as planned." Once she was out of Retston, Brayden wouldn't find her easily.
