The middle-aged man furrowed his brows in rebuttal.
The light from the cell phone easily pierced through the darkness here.
Watching his father halt, he furrowed his brows, shining the flashlight from his phone into the depths.
Next to it was an even darker alley, pitch-black and dim, leading to the small buildings of the nearby community, just a few steps ahead.
The baby's cries were faint and soft but unmistakably closer now, wrenching at the heart.

But at times like these, who could care about such things?
"How could parents be so heartless as to dump their child here?"
The middle-aged man cursed under his breath as he continued to walk forward.
