Randolph was no longer a threat to them and the time had come to contact Sam, but when Brent and Hermosa calmed down and pulled their phones out of their pockets, they found that there was no signal at all.Brent tries to walk to the side of the vault door and raise the phone, but there is still no signal.They were now like birds in a cage, without their only chance to call for help.Hermosa had her back to him and before she knew it she was sweating cold, even though they were temporarily free of the tension they had felt during the confrontation with Randolph, but her body couldn't really relax.Her injuries made her suffer in silence, and she had to keep her body tense, in order not to worry Brent.The enclosed environment cut off the big water outside and all information. They didn't know when Sam would bring his men and all they could do now was wait.Sam was sure to bring someone soon. They didn't worry too much at first, putting their phones down and examining the small space,
"The long-running gang "Bloody Wolves," whose leader, Randolph, and his colleagues were killed, has lately been busted by the NYC police with the assistance of committed individuals.Randolph, the gang's leader, has been revealed by police to have extensive illegal cross-border connections with the Burmese terrorist underworld.Last month, the city of NYC got a huge number of missing child warnings as a result of the "Bloody Wolves" clandestinely contacting Burmese terrorist organizations for the illicit trafficking of children.From Randolph's gang territory, numerous missing children in NYC have been found." Sam was the top man of the operation, leading the team that rescued the hostages and wiped out the rest of Randolph's gang.He waited in the operating room outside the hospital while watching the news of his interview with the media on TV.He was a little late this time.Randolph had been so resourceful as to set up a trap around Brent's villa.His team of police officers fought
Hermosa could never have imagined that she and Brent's mother, Simona, would meet again on such an occasion.She knew how much she cared for Brent, and it was true that Brent was now much more cheerful, but because of this new accident could only lie pale in his hospital bed, with his legs heavily bandaged.God knows how much Hermosa wanted to touch his cheek, but couldn't.All of Brent's family were at his bedside, watching him so worriedly.Even if Hermosa's heart ached, it was not her turn to do anything here.All Hermosa could do was stand there, remembering what she had said to Sam just before she came out of the ward.Sam had said that Randolph was dead.He also told Hermosa that Randolph wasn't going to give Elisa back to her at all at that time.His ticket to Burma was found by the police.The police followed the trail to the child trafficking underground he was working with in Burma.By that time he had already assigned Elisa a number, and if Hermosa helped her get everything
When Brent finished, his eyes just looked at Hermosa without blinking.His face was pale, yet his eyes and lips held a warm smile, and deep compassion.He knew that what he had done had been worth it, and that at least he had saved the woman he loved.They just sat quietly beside each other, saying nothing and keeping each other company in silence. Somehow Hermosa hadn't bawled when she thought Brent was dead, and when she faced Simona, although she was sad, she tried to restrain herself from really crying.But now she couldn't help it, and the tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes like a broken thread.She looked down and gave Brent a hug, and Brent's strong arms came around her and took her into his arms.Hermosa's body ached in places where the bandages had been, but she didn't mind.Or rather, the pain was giving her a distinct feeling that she was alive. She heard Brent's heart beating strongly beneath his warm, firm chest, felt their warmth and breath intertwine.Bu
She turned around to see her daughter, cradled in Sam's arms, stomping excitedly to try to reach the floor at the sight of her mother."Brent daddy! Mummy!" Elisa's tiny body flopped twice in Sam's arms.Sam then put her to the floor.Her round eyes were filled with tears and she looked very aggrieved.She rubbed her eyes and stumbled in Hermosa's direction."Good girl, Elisa."Hermosa didn't even have time to say hello to the doctor and went out the door to take Elisa into her arms.She forgot for a moment that she was still hurt and accidentally pulled the wound and grunted in pain.Elisa immediately tilted her head up, her little face full of concern: "Mummy, what's wrong with you?""Nothing."Hermosa shifted into a hugging position and kissed Elisa on the cheek, "Have you recently gained a little weight, sweetie?""No, I haven't!"Elisa was smiling happily just now, but when she heard her mother call her fat, she immediately pouted unhappily and lowered her head to pat her little
Because of the drama between Brent and Adrian, Sam was not able to talk to Brent much and left with Adrian in a hurry.Hermosa was still a bit embarrassed and tried to say something to Sam and Adrian to ask them to come over for dinner sometime.She looked a little anxious and broke away from Brent's grip on her hand."Sam I'm really sorry, I was going to let you and your friend talk more about the whole thing. See you next time!""See you next time, Miss Hermosa."Sam didn't say anything just waved his hand and walked away quickly.But Adrian who turned back to Hermosa and gave her a big smile and a gesture of a phone call.Hermosa returned the smile politely and waved her hand at the man. She didn't see Brent's grim face just behind her.Brent tugged at the corner of her coat from behind her."What's wrong sir?"Hermosa turned her head to see Brent hugging Elisa, his head bowed, his shorn hair falling down in front of his forehead to block most of his face, a very unhappy look.His
"How did you stay up there so long, your parents ...... didn't say anything, did they?"Like a beach after a tsunami has receded, Hermosa always felt like her life experiences were about to be exposed to the air like those glossy gravels.Like a deflated ball, she sat dumbly on her hospital bed and asked worriedly."They're very concerned about your health and mine. My mother, Simona, looks the most anxious.I believe it is related to the injuries I sustained before.""I know sir, she was also very depressed when she stayed with me.I always think of Elisa when I see your mother.I think if I were Ms. Simona, I would have mostly passed out."Brent sighed, "Hermosa, I never thought I'd have someone to share the hardships of life with before.Until just now when I was talking to my mother.She gazed at me, still strong and smiling, and comforted me until my father arrived at the hospital after dealing with his business.I saw my mother throw herself into his arms at once and cry hoarsely
That night,Brent hid from Hermosa and Elisa what he and Jeffrey had actually discussed .Brent went out into the corridor to have a cigarette.He knew how angry and upset Hermosa was.She must have been frustrated with her family and her parents to the core.He now had the feeling that no matter how much he loved her, the hollow and forlorn part of her heart would remain there forever.Like her unborn child, it would always be a thorn in her side.He called Wilbur, his secretary , and a respectful answer came from the other end."Mr Brent, the case of Hermosa being forced to sign an agreement against her will by her father, Chad, is being investigated.It's just that we found out that Chad did lose a large amount of money gambling at the Warrington Hills Casino.The person who signed this agreement was a third party dealer of the Casino.I checked out the person who was behind the gambling and his information was hidden very well and it will take some time.But that money was indeed o
