Sabrina was stunned. She did not expect that Aino's voice would come from the other end of the call. She did not expect at all that she and Sebastian's call was still connected. When she heard Aino's voice, Sabrina instantly stopped in her tracks.
"Mom! Mom!” Aino shouted incredibly anxiously at the other end of the call. "Mom, don’t die! If you die, then I will not have a mother anymore! Also, my grandma will be very pitiful. My uncle as well. Mom...you have t o stay strong. You have to stay alive! Mom, I am begging you, please. You have to stay alive. Don't die! Dad will rescue you immediately." Aino cried inconsolably.
Sabrina's heart was torn into pieces and it felt like she was bleeding out in her heart. She clenched her teeth tightly and her eyebrows were also tightly knitted. Sabrina forced herself to hold back her tears and spoke into the phone. "Baby, I promise you that I will die, but you have to take good care of your dad at home. You have to listen to your dad. Do you understand, baby?"
Aino nodded. "I understand, Mom. You have to be brave, Mom. I am very brave. I was not afraid of Uncle Holden at all. I thought of a solution very calmly and I finally escaped from Uncle Holden's end. Mom, you can do it too." How could the six-year-old child know how great of a danger her mother was in at that
moment?
Sabrina had already heard from Holden that the man who came to hijack the ship was her husband's arch enemy. He was an arch-enemy who had laid dormant for the past couple of decades. Sabrina had to tell her husband as soon as she could. She gently coaxed Aino. "Aino, don’t cry. You also have to be strong. Do you understand, baby? Look, even you can find a way back, so I certainly can do it as well. I'm still waiting for you to help me take care of the baby in my belly. Alright, Aino?”
Aino nodded again. "Mm-hmm. Alright, mom. I certainly can do my best.”
