Chapter 730 She Prefers the Handsome Uncle
Before Martha could regain her senses, Anna held back her tears and started to explain thesituation pitifully. "Today, My mommy and daddy went to the hospital to check on my little brother'scondition. Then Phoebe said that my mommy asked her to take me with her to the hospital."
"I followed Phoebe out of the house and when we got to the intersection, she said that if we crossedthat street, I would be able to see My mommy and daddy at the hospital. I even asked her about mylittle brother's condition. But..."novelbin
"But as soon as I turned around, I couldn't see Phoebe anymore. No matter how much I called forher, she wouldn't come out."
Anna finished speaking in a broken voice and pouted again with sadness in her eyes. She wantedto cry but remembered what Stefan had just told her, so she held back.
Although Anna was only three years old, she had been educated by her mommy with highstandards and loved her very much.
Most importantly, she was a true fan of good looks.
In Anna's eyes, Stefan looked fierce but handsome at the same time.
She liked this handsome weirdo and also this beautiful auntie which was why she followed them inthe first place.
If it weren't for standing alone at that intersection today where people were coming and going, shewouldn't cry without caring her own image.
After all these years growing up as a girl alone without ever facing such situations before made itdifficult for Anna now.
Martha frowned slightly upon hearing this explanation while looking complicatedly towards Stefanwho sat next to him.
Stefan's gaze gradually deepened before he looked up towards their driver who was driving themaround town.
"Do we have any hospitals nearby where we parked just now?"
"No," replied their driver quickly adding another sentence afterwards.
"Mr Harrison and Mrs Harrison, the place where we parked is considered downtown area withoutany hospitals nearby; even if there are any, they are half an hour drive away from there."
Upon hearing this news, Martha and Stefan both looked down. They never thought things wouldturn out like this.
Based on what Anna said earlier, it seemed clear that Phoebe intentionally abandoned her there.
Phoebe also deliberately mentioned crossing one road will lead directly into a hospital.
When Anna couldn't find Phoebe, she might cross over onto that road with heavy traffic flow, whichmight lead to a traffic accident or worse...
Stefan and Martha exchanged a glance, both understanding that Anna's background was probablynot simple.
Now that they had saved her life, they didn't want to leave Anna alone.
If the Miller family was in chaos now, leaving with them might be a good thing for Anna.
Martha sighed helplessly at this thought.
She couldn't believe how much this young girl had been through at such a young age.
Thankfully, she met them today; otherwise things could have turned out much worse for her.
Stefan glanced over at his wife sitting next to him and suddenly felt like taking this little girl homewould be nice. It would give him time to adjust to having a child around again since he missed somuch of Jimmy's childhood as his fatherly duties were lacking experience.
And since Anna was such an adorable little girl, he knew their future daughter would also be just asbeautiful as Anna is right now.
So, he didn't mind getting used to having a daughter by bringing Anna home with them.
Stefan thought about it more and finally spoke up, "Martha, should we take her back with us?"
Anna heard this and eagerly leaned towards Martha.
Stefan loosened his grip on her hand and let the little girl lean closer.
The next second, Anna grabbed Martha's hand, "Pretty auntie," she said pitifully, "Can you pleasenot leave me behind?"
"I'm such an adorable little girl; if I get left behind, who knows what kind of bad people will pick meup? Then you'll never see me again."
Anna looked up at Martha with big blinking eyes full of hopefulness.
This auntie was so pretty; she wouldn't mind being with this pretty auntie for another few days orso...
And this uncle was handsome, even more handsome than her dad!
Martha couldn't help but chuckle when she heard what Anna said. She hadn't expected this younggirl to have such contrasting personalities - scared one moment then completely unafraid aroundthem later on - perhaps because she hadn't experienced any danger yet due to being so young...
After coming back to her senses, she looked at Anna's pitiful expression and her heart softened.
"Okay, I will take you to my house as a guest, okay?"
"Okay."
Anna obediently nodded her head. She felt hopeful about living with such a beautiful aunt andhandsome uncle.
In this era where looks matter, Anna is influenced by her mother and learns quickly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the police station.
Stefan held Anna in one hand and led Martha into the police station step by step with the otherhand.
As they entered the police station, a policeman greeted them.
"Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"We're here to report a missing child," Stefan said while looking up at the officer. "This little girl gotseparated from her parents."
"Please follow me to make a statement."
The officer looked at them professionally before leading them towards an office room. He pointedtowards two chairs placed in front of his desk and said, "You three can wait here for a moment whileI go get someone to take your statement."
"Thank you," Martha smiled sweetly as she spoke.
The officer gave Martha another look before saying seriously, "Serving our people is our duty."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left his spot.
It didn't take long before another officer came in holding a notebook for statements.
"You guys reported the missing child?" The new officer asked as he walked over towards them,holding his notebook open
"Yes," Stefan replied calmly while adjusting Anna's sitting posture for comfort.
Anna tugged on Stefan's collar tightly after sitting down comfortably, which made Anna have somegood feelings toward him
"What is your name?" The officer asked.
"Stefan." He replied curtly with pursed lips
The officer wrote it down, then turned towards Martha, "What is your name?"
"My name is Martha." She answered swiftly while keeping an eye on how Anna was doing.
This was Anna's first time being inside of a police station, so Martha worried that Anna might beafraid, but then she saw Anna look around curiously, without showing timidity.
The officer quickly wrote down Martha's name and then looked up at the girl with a softerexpression. "What's your name, little one?" he asked.
"Anna," the little girl obediently replied.
The officer couldn't help but praise her. "You're amazing, knowing your own name at such a youngage."
Anna blushed and lowered her head shyly in response to the officer's compliment. In reality, shewas silently comparing him to Stefan who held her in his arms.
This police officer was quite handsome, but not as good-looking as Stefan. After making thiscomparison, Anna preferred Stefan.
As she thought this way, Anna leaned closer into Stefan's embrace.
Stefan felt the girl move and stiffened for a moment before relaxing back into his original posture...
