Chapter 1160 Are You Out of Your Mind?

Joseph!

Nicole ran over quickly and looked for her son.

"What is going on?"

Samuel noticed the worries on Nicole's face. He walked towards her and grabbed her arm.

"Have you seen Joseph?"

Nicole felt safer when she saw Samuel. He was her support all the time.

Samuel frowned.

Joseph?

He remembered Joseph telling him that he was going to the restroom. But it had been a while.

"I will go and look for him."

"Let me go with you. Just now, Zayn just called me and told me that Major is going to revenge on the
people around us, and he wanted me to pay extra attention to the children. That was when I realized
that Joseph disappeared. I am not a good mom. I lost Joseph. I should have gone to the bathroom with
him."

Nicole could not stop blaming herself.

Today was Tim's wedding. They had thought of any possible accidents that might happen and were
prepared for them. But they did not think of the possibility that they would do something to the children.



Nicole was about to cry. Samuel comforted her, "It was not your fault. You cannot foresee everything,
and this was an accident. Trust me, Joseph will be fine. Come, let us go and look for him."

"OK."

They went to the bathroom.

Because it was during the banquet, people walked in and out of the bathroom non-stop. This was not a
good thing for Samuel and Nicole, because Joseph could be taken away without being noticed by
others.

Samuel looked at Nicole and whispered, "Wait for me outside. I will go in and look for him."

"Sure."

Nicole nodded.

Samuel walked into the bathroom. He searched everywhere but did not see Joseph. However, he
found a button on the ground that was from Joseph's clothes.

His expression became gloomy.

They targeted a child.

Major!

You'd better make sure that my son is fine. Otherwise, I will tear you into pieces even if I need to go the
Country F!

Nicole saw Samuel come out without Joseph. She immediately knew that her guess was true.

"I will go and find Joseph."



Nicole was about to walk out when Samuel stopped her.

"It is inappropriate for you to leave in the middle of today's event. Besides, Major's people might be
looking at us. If they are not responsible for taking Joseph away, our absence would give them a hint.
At that time, Joseph would be put into a more dangerous situation."

"But..."

Nicole could not think logically now.

Samuel hugged her tightly and said to her in a low voice, "Nicole, I know you are worried about Joseph.
I am worried too. But now is not the time to panic. Listen to me. Call you Sally now. She is the only one
who can solve this. If it is true that Major's people took Joseph away, she would do something, since
she has been in Country F for many years, and Morgan is Joseph's master. It would be better to have
them help us rather than we search for Joseph with no direction."

Nicole felt a little relieved when she heard Samuel's words.

"Right. I forgot that we have Sally and Morgan."

Nicole immediately took out her phone. She called Sally and Morgan, and briefly explaining what
happened.

Sally promised that they would start investigating and would let Nicole know once they found Joseph.
Morgan also offered her help without hesitation. That was no doubt about it because she treated
Joseph as her son.

However, Nicole was still worried after having the phone calls.

The Lunar New Year was coming, and the temperature was low outside. Joseph did not wear too many
clothes. She was worried about Joseph's health.



Samuel was anxious too. But he looked around for a while, then held Nicole's hand and said to her,
"We should go back. We will be suspicious to them if we disappear for too long."

"OK."

Nicole nodded, but her eyes turned cold.

Major!

This man deserved to die.

When they came back to their seats, the whole atmosphere was filled with joy. But Nicole could not feel
their happiness anymore.

She knew that her reaction was not respectful to Tim and Evelyn, but what could she do?

Her son disappeared.

Right now, nothing was more important than Joseph's safety.

Joseph became unconscious because of the gas in the bathroom. When he realized what happened,
he already inhaled a lot of gas. His resistance to drugs was not very strong since he was only a child.
Before Joseph fainted, he cursed angrily.

By the time he woke up, he was in a car.

The car was bumping, and his hands and feet were tied. There was a rag in his mouth. The whole
scene was like a kidnapping on TV.

Joseph was speechless.



The car was a cheap van with a fishy smell, and the rope that tied Joseph was so rough that he felt hurt
on his wrists and ankles.

These people were idiots.

Joseph shook his head. Then, he heard the two men in front of him start talking.

"Bro, do you think we will get paid for kidnapping this child? Today is Mr. Tim's wedding, and all the
people who went there were famous and powerful. This child is dressed well. Do you think he is the
son of some wealthy family?"

"Who cares who he is? Someone paid us to kidnap this child. We can only do it. You are the one who
owes debts for gambling. Do you want them to cut off your hands and feet if we do not kidnap him? We
are the guys who delivered seafood to the kitchen. They would not find out that it was us who
kidnapped this child."

The one who was talking was also driving the car and cursing.

Joseph felt innocent and embarrassed.

He could not believe he was kidnapped by two people who delivered seafood instead of professionals.
He would be extremely embarrassed if others knew it.

Joseph tried to untie the knot but failed. He tried to calm himself down. Then, he recalled the method
the instructor taught them about unlocking and self-rescue during the training.

He followed that method and slowly untied the rope on his wrists.

Joseph did not alarm the kidnappers.



He took out a small bottle from his pocket and used the rag to cover his mouth and nose before he
opened the bottle.

A faint smell came out of the bottle.

"What is this smell? It smells so good! Bro, do you smell it?"

The man who owed the debt asked the driver.

Joseph was afraid that they found him awake. He laid down and closed his eyes, pretending to be
unconscious.

The driver also smelt something strange.

He stopped the car and looked to the back of the car. He was confused when he saw Joseph was still
asleep, "This is strange, what smell is it? Is this child wearing perfume? I did not smell it when I tied
him up!"

"Bro, we kidnapped him in the bathroom. There was nothing we could smell except the disgusting
things. This car was full of the smell of seafood. Therefore, it is normal that we did not smell his
perfume at the beginning. It is possible that we smell it because the car windows are open now."

The man who owed the debt said.

They never thought of Joseph as a threat to them.

How could a four-year-old child do to two strong adults?

Although the driver was still confused, he could not think of any problems. He slapped the other man's
head and whispered, "Who told you to open the window? What if this child is awake by the wind?"

"The air in the car is suffocating. The smell of fish is too strong."



"You can always find an excuse."

The man who was driving said impatiently. Suddenly, he felt dizzy.

"Brother, do you feel dizzy?"

Just as he finished speaking, the one who owed debt already lost his consciousness on the passenger
seat.

"Brother!"

The driver realized that something was wrong. Before he could open the door, his entire body lost
strength, and he directly lay on the steering wheel.

Joseph immediately opened the door and got off the car when he saw the kidnappers lost their
consciousness. He ran in one direction.

This should be the suburbs.

Joseph believed that Samuel and Nicole must be extremely worried about him when they could not find
him. He wanted to find a place where there was a phone that he could use to call them.

After running for a while, Joseph saw a small wooden house. It should be a place for the mountain
watcher to live in.

Joseph had no choice. He ran over and knocked on the door for help.

However, Joseph did not expect Laurence who opened the door.

Laurence was surprised when he saw Joseph standing outside.



"Joseph, why are you here?"

"Uncle Laurence? It is great to see you. I was kidnapped and just escaped. Please call my mom and
dad to let them know I am safe now."

Joseph panted.

"Hurry up. Come in."

Laurence knew that something big was going on when he heard Joseph's words.

He brought Joseph into the room, then Cynthia showed up and glared at them with her arms crossed,
"Who this kid is? Get him out of here! This place is too small for us to live in already. Now you are
bringing in a child. Laurence, do you realize the situation we are under now? Don't you know who did
this to us? We will never have to live in this shabby place if it were not for your incompetence!"

"That is enough. Stop talking."

Neville scolded Cynthia impatiently.

They were blocked after being exiled by Samuel that night.

Laurence and Neville were rejected by any positions they applied for, and no hotels or hostels were
willing to let them stay. They could not even rent an apartment. There was nothing they could do.
Laurence could only bring them to the top of the mountain. There was a small house left behind by a
mountain watcher, where they could settle down for a moment.

Neville was enthusiastic about experiments. He already felt frustrating being not able to experiment,
and Cynthia's daily cursing was destroying his good temper.



Cynthia was furious when Neville scolded her for stopping her from blaming Laurence. She raised her
voice.

"What do you mean? Are you standing with that monster and against me now? I am the one who is
your closest person. I am your wife!"

"Shut up! Do you want me to beat you?"

Neville had enough.

Cynthia made her move first when she heard Neville's words.

"Did you say you want to hit me? You are ungrateful. Look at yourself. No one would accept you except
me!"

They were in a tough fight.

Laurence only watched them indifferently. He pulled Joseph into another room and whispered, "This is
my phone. Call Mr. Green and Mrs. Green and tell them you are safe. Do not let them worry."

"Thank you, Uncle Laurence."

Joseph took the phone. Before he made the call, Cynthia rushed into the room and snatched the phone
from Joseph.

"Is he Mr. Green's son? You mean, Samuel's son? Laurence, are you crazy? Samuel makes us suffer,
and you want to help him find his son? He hurt us so badly, yet you still want to help him find his son?
Are you out of your mind?"
