Exes' Baggage And More

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

Andrew took a deep breath. He was leaning against the wall, right next to the apartment building's security room door, where Macy and Ken were checking CCTV footage for Marcus' whereabouts – or at least they hoped that the boy could come to the apartment building but didn't go to his mother's unit. If that was the case, it would be easier for them to find Marcus.

It's been more than half an hour and it looks like they haven't finished yet. Andrew checked the watch on his wrist. Almost dinner time. Well, that's not what he's worried about. If it's getting late, it will be difficult to search. And the only way is to call the police station.

Andrew tapped his shoes on the floor. Honestly, he is not the type of person who easily waits. He wanted to enter the room, pulled Macy in his arms and said that he would do anything to find Marcus. However, he couldn't do it – for the part to hug Macy because there were so many people watching and he didn't want to make his lover awkward especially in front of her ex-husband. But he seriously would do anything to find the boy.

Andrew raised his head when he heard the sound of running footsteps. From a distance he saw the figure of Hani Kim and behind her a woman named Katy Perez. Well, Macy would be even more displeased if she saw the woman coming.

Hani noticed Andrew's presence and only briefly greeted him before entering the security room. However, it was different from Katy who was standing three steps away from his position. The woman looked at him closely. It was as if she was questioning the reason for Andrew's presence there.

One of Andrew's eyebrows rose. He could easily read the woman's expression which seemed displeased with his existence.

"Writer Coangco..." said Katy.

Andrew nodded slightly. They never officially met, only a brief meeting, so he wouldn't be friendly with her. But it was a little surprising that the woman didn't follow Hani Kim into the room and just waited outside with him.

That's a little weird, Andrew thought.

Before long, the door opened. Andrew straightened up and saw Macy out followed by Ken and Hani. And Katy was still in her position without planning to approach Ken. But it was the man who approached the woman. Macy didn't care about that. What she was worried about was her son.

"Macy, we have to hurry," Hani said with urgency laced in her voice.

Andrew frowns. "Have you found Marcus?"

Macy shook her head. "It's not yet confirmed. My lawyer said there was a report about a child being taken to the hospital at six. The kid didn't say anything when asked, just looked scared."

Andrew cursed softly. Hani walked first to the lobby door. He glanced at Ken who was talking to Katy. Then he approached Macy. He wanted to give her moral support – like just touching her arm but he couldn't.

"You want me to come with you?" asked Andrew.

"No. But can you make some soup? If it's true that it's Marcus, I want to..." Macy exhaled. She looked so tired and frustrated. "Only soup. Please...?"

Andrew nodded. Macy smiled faintly and followed Hani. Then Ken and Katy also walked towards the lobby door. Maybe they will go to the hospital. Well, it feels unfair to Macy. If Ken has Katy as his moral support, why can't he do the same thing for Macy?

However, he noticed something strange. On the figure of Katy Perez.

Hani directed Macy to the ER area of one of the hospitals where she got a report from the local police station. Behind them, there are Ken and Katy, who Macy continuously ignores.
