Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 396

"Sammy!" Liza couldn't help breaking down and screaming when she saw the child in the woman's arms.

He seemed to be frightened and sounded on the verge of tears as he cried, "Mom!"

The livestream's viewers were agitated when they saw this. They couldn't believe Sam had been found just like that. Soon, however, they noticed that the woman holding him seemed to be emotionally unstable.

Sam wanted to break free of her grip to run to Liza, but the woman refused to let him go. Roger stared at the woman incredulously and stepped forward, roaring, "What are you doing, Angie? Let the child go!"

"No!" The woman, Angeline Patton, looked almost manic. She glared at Liza and snapped, "She doesn't deserve to be a mother! She'll kill this child; I can't let him leave with her!"

Liza, Hayden, and the rest of their family were confused. Hayden cried, "What are you talking about? I'm telling you, you're kidnapping someone's child! Hurry up and return Sammy to us!"

Angeline ignored her. In fact, she tightened her grip on Sam as she climbed the balcony's railing. Everyone's expressions shifted drastically, and Roger looked like he was going to freak out. "Calm down, Angie! Bring the child back down here! He's not like our child!"

"How is he any different? He's so young, yet they want him to undergo surgery. Children don't make it through surgeries!" Angeline's eyes turned red as she spoke, and tears welled in them.

Only then did Liza recall one of the other mothers she knew talking about Angeline. She'd apparently lost her child after a surgery; she and Roger had been devastated for a long time.

At the same time, she remembered that she'd mentioned Sam's condition in the mothers' group chat and how she was preparing to have him operated on. At the time, Angeline had objected to the idea and even approached her personally to talk it over.
