Yuna shook her head. "We won't be staying here for long. After all, Mommy has been focusing on her work abroad. But it doesn't matter to have a house here either. If you guys want to come and have fun in Jefton State, at least we'll have a place to stay, won't we?" Watching Yuna's gaze, Nathaniel knew that she wasn't lying. "Nathaniel, do you like living in Jefton State?" Yuna thought that was the reason he asked. But Nathaniel shook his head. "I don't like or dislike this place. I'll like whichever place Mommy goes." Yuna ruffled his head. She knew she shouldn't be lying to her children, but this reason seemed to be the most suitable one for now. Yuna didn't stay for long. She left with the excuse that she had to deal with some matters at the research center. Natalie and Nathaniel didn't throw a fit. On the contrary, they sat in the room with Natalie snacking on something. "Is Mommy lying to us?" Nathaniel said, "You've become smarter." Natalie thought her brother was
With a light smile, Lucian took the teaspoon and stirred his coffee. He said patiently, "Although I sound like I'm guilt-tripping you, this is what I've noticed these few days. Ever since you came back, Yvan's migraine attacks have decreased substantially. It would be great news for him if he could stop using the painkillers completely. This is just like the night before yesterday when Yvan personally rang me up to ask me when you were sick. I think your condition has persisted for quite a while too. You must also be taking painkillers often, so you know how bad it is for your body to take a lot of painkillers." Yuna heard another important piece of information out of his words. She asked in shock, "Yvan called you the night before yesterday?" Lucian pretended to be surprised. "You didn't know? Oh, I think you wouldn't have known. After all, I heard that you were in a lot of pain. Yvan mainly asked me if there's any other way than taking painkillers to help you, so I taught him how
The moment a picture appeared on the screen, Yuna hit the brake hard. The car stopped at the roadside alarmingly. She immediately grabbed her phone to check the picture. In the picture, Kiara was tied up in a fully-enclosed room, her mouth taped shut, and she was blindfolded. "What's going on?" she wondered in panic. Looking at the string of numbers on the text message, she was about to call that texter. To her surprise, that person called her first. "Who are you?" "Do you want to save her?" Yuna regained her composure. She pressed the speaker and recording button. She was even about to forward the picture and phone number to Yvan. "Are you trying to ask for help?" The person's voice was ghostlike. It made Yuna's hand pause in her movement. "Don't you dare think I'm just scaring you with a picture. If you dare to ask for help, I'll cut off one of her arms right now." "Why should I believe that she's actually in your hands?" Gritting her teeth, Yuna asked calmly. "We
Yuna was calm. The man kicked everything on the floor to the side in a few moments. "I want to see Kiara now." The man snickered. "Don't worry, I'll bring you to see her." After that, he turned and walked ahead. With an anxious heart, Yuna followed behind. When he kicked open a door, Yuna immediately saw Kiara, who was sitting in the corner. "Kiara!" Yuna hurried forward. Kiara tried to yell when she heard the familiar voice, but her mouth was taped. When Yuna finally removed the blindfold and tape, the door was already closed. "Yuna, why are you here?" Looking at the closed door, Yuna clenched her teeth and released Kiara from the ropes. "Don't be afraid, Kiara. I'm here to save you." "Are you dumb? Why didn't you call Yvan?" "The person the kidnapper wants is me. If I call anyone, he will cut your arm off." That made Kiara's face turn pale. When Yuna was untying her, she said softly, "Don't worry, I've already told Harry about this. I think he'll be here to save u
Yuna didn't have any space left to back away as her back leaned on the wall. Suppressing her fear, she stared at him and asked, "You're Oliver Lewis. You faked your own death. You know that I'm investigating what happened seven years ago, and you're scared to be exposed. That's why you kidnapped Kiara and lured me here, right?" The man snickered. "You guessed it wrong. I'm not that idiot Lewis." Hearing that, Yuna's eyes widened in confusion. He's not Oliver Lewis?"But you shouldn't have investigated what happened seven years ago, nor should you still be alive!" The man grabbed her arm as his right hand raised the knife. Right then, Kiara suddenly appeared behind him. She raised the wooden pole in her hand and hit it hard against his back. The man wasn't paying attention, so he couldn't avoid the hit. Covering the back of his neck, the man knelt on the floor. Kiara quickly tugged Yuna's arm. "Let's go!" Yuna never expected that Kiara would return to save her. "Kiara, why di
The call ended. With a tense look, Yvan put his phone down and sped away. At the same time, Yuna was already surrounded by motorcycles, which appeared out of nowhere. She was surrounded from both sides. She hit the gas pedal, trying to outspeed them. However, they clearly wanted her to die. They wished nothing more than for her car to get turned over. Kiara held the grab handle tightly as she tried to pick up the phone that fell underneath. "Sit tight, Kiara. They're about to crash into us again." After Yuna said that, the motorcycle chasing after them crashed hard into the car, as expected. Yuna nearly couldn't control the steering wheel, and the car skidded outward. "Oh my!" Kiara couldn't help but yell. "Sit tight, don't be afraid." Watching the motorcycles, Kiara wanted to be able to help even though she was more anxious than ever. "Yuna, is there anything in your car I can throw?" "In the back." Yuna steadied the steering wheel and watched the motorcycles throu
Harry was distraught after hearing Kiara's scream. At the same time, Yvan had overtaken countless cars and stepped on the accelerator to the maximum."Ask her to turn on location sharing," Yvan instructed. Harry nodded and spoke into the phone, "Miss Jenkins, can you share your location now? We'll be there soon. Miss Jenkins?" In the car, Kiara grabbed the armrest with one hand and the phone with the other, staring at the front and back occasionally. Yuna's hands gripping the steering wheel were already sweating, and she dared not release the accelerator pedal. All the motorcycles were chasing after their car closely. Yuna seemed to hear Harry speaking on the phone. "Kiara, pick up the phone," she said.Kiara immediately picked up the phone, realized the call was still connected, and asked, "What did you say?""Location sharing, so we can find you as quickly as possible. Miss Jenkins, can you do it now?" Harry asked."Sure, I'll turn it on right now."Kiara tapped on WhatsAp
Yuna was going extremely fast, and without giving the other party any time to think, she stepped on the accelerator again and drove into those motorcycles. There was a loud bang, and several motorcycles crashed to the ground after the collision. Yuna had no time to see how they were doing. She drove through the guardrail again, got onto the other side of the road, and headed toward another exit.Even though their car was badly damaged, she could still drive it. Yuna drove out of the exit in a split second. Kiara saw that the motorcycles were not chasing after them anymore and said in relief, "Yuna, we’re safe now."Enduring the pain, Yuna nodded with a smile. "Yeah."Kiara was keenly aware that something was wrong with her and asked with concern, "Yuna, are you injured? Where are you hurt?"Yuna also looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Kiara, you might need to drive starting from now on. I seem to have injured the left side of my lower back.""Okay, no problem. I'll drive
