Jazz did not know what had happened during this period. He fell into silence after hearing what Mark said. He could not understand why the father he always respected had become like this. But at the same time, he felt sorry for Summer, who had gone through many trials four years ago and was now having a new life. Now he finally understood why Mark was against calling the police, as their father was most likely the person who abducted Summer. Mark had quietly sent out his men to find Summer. So, too, did Jazz. Mark did not expect that Ronald would go to such extremes and do such a crazy thing. His face was sullen. He did not return to the office as he was looking for Summer and Ronald. He did not tell Solomon and Daisy about Summer’s abduction because he did not want them to be worried. He had got to act fast. All he could do was to act fast. Ronald’s purpose was obvious, which was to make her miscarry, and then to extract the bone marrow. There was no time to waste; Ma
She gritted her teeth, and placed the phone beneath her just like that. With her back facing the two of them, she turned it on. The phone had been in silent mode all the time. She scrambled to open the message box. The last text message was sent to her by Mark, and the next one was from Solomon. So the two messages were next to each other. The voice of conversation and footsteps were approaching behind her. She glanced at the phone with the corner of her eyes as she opened a message box to type a message. She did not realize that she had not opened Mark’s message but Solomon’s. While paying attention to the sound behind her, she quickly tapped on the screen with her fingers, cautiously, not making the slightest sound. ‘Mark, Ronald abducted me. He wants to take away my baby in the womb and then extract my bone marrow. The doctor is on the way. I am in a—’ Before she could finish composing the message, she heard footsteps behind her. A shadow shrouded her. Obviously, Ronald wa
Solomon was drinking tea when he received a text message. When he opened the message and read it, he nearly dropped the teacup to the floor. Daisy rarely saw this reaction of his, and she asked in surprise, “What is wrong?” “Nothing, you take Charlotte. I will go out for a while.” Solomon did not tell Daisy the truth because he did not want to frighten her. “What are you going out for?” “Buy chess.” Solomon was already out of her sight as soon as his voice trailed off. Daisy frowned snappishly and mumbled to herself, “Goddamnit old man.” Solomon called Mark, but could not get through. He hurried over to his apartment, and then his office, but Mark was not there. He was like a car on hot bricks, but he did not dare to call Summer. If Summer could use her phone, she would call Mark and not send text messages. He was afraid that Ronald would harm Summer if he called her. Turning around, he got into a taxi. He clenched his fists as the taxi headed in a direction. Ronal
How she wished she could kill him and chop him into pieces, but at the same time, she could not help herself from loving him. Samantha’s leukemia had gotten worse. It would do her no good by harassing Samantha at the hospital. Instead, it would make Ronald feel annoyed with her. As Samantha’s condition was getting worse, Yvette wanted to see how she could still keep the man by her side. Sometimes you do not need to get involved personally to have your revenge. Like in this situation, Yvette just needed to stand on the sidelines and watch them suffer. Samantha would not be her match, and victory would belong to her, eventually. Leukemia was nasty, but worked to her advantage in this case. Raine said nothing as she had little feeling for her biological mother, who existed in name only. ‘Mark, hurry up! Hurry up!’ Summer kept calling out in her mind, her back was tightly pressed against the pillar behind her. “Is the drug ready? Feed her the abortion drug.” Ronald said, his
She was cold, freezing, even her teeth were chattering uncontrollably. Ronald urged the doctor to extract the bone marrow. This was his only chance, and he did not want to squander it. The unfeeling machine was there, and the doctor started to make preparations. Everything was in place after a while. The doctor was about to pierce a sharp needle into her body when the door of the factory was forced open and Mark and Jazz stormed in. At that moment, Ronald looked frail, as he knew that his last chance was gone. The blood on Summer’s lower body pierced into Mark’s eyes like knives. A murderous look burst out of his grim eyes as Mark lunged at Ronald and punched him non-stop. He wanted to kill him. He could not care less who Ronald was. He just wanted to kill him as his inner voice screamed out loud inside him. A bloodthirsty look flickered in his eyes. Men in suits came to Ronald’s rescue, but Mark beat them all down to the ground. Ronald was also beaten black and blue with
As the chaotic gang fight raged on, someone knocked over a barrel of fuel, and his lighter dropped to the ground and broke apart. A spark ignited a fire, which quickly developed into a raging flame that engulfed the factory, and choking black smoke filled the air. “Mark, it is going to blow. Get Summer out of here!” Jazz shouted. Mark was close to the back door. He carried Summer in his arms and escaped, while calling the hospital with a phone in his hand. Jazz spun around and ran out, but fire and thick black smoke were about to block the backdoor escape route. He suddenly hesitated and then turned back in. Ronald sat on the ground, his lower body had caught fire. He was wailing in pain but could not move. Jazz pulled Ronald over and brought him out of the factory. There was a look of hurt and mockery on his face as Jazz wished he could just leave Ronald to die in the fire. They escaped from the burning abandoned factory. Not long after they emerged, they heard an explos
“It is close to lunch time now yet he hasn’t come home. Where did the old man go?” Daisy mumbled to herself while feeding Charlotte. “Grandma, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet? He said he would bring me a little cake.” Charlotte was looking around. Daisy took out her cell phone and was about to call Solomon when her cell phone rang. “Where have you gone, old man?” But it was not Solomon, but a female voice that sounded at the other end of the phone. The voice could not be more familiar, as it belonged to Samantha. “Is this Mrs. Hart?” “Why is it you who answer? Where is that old man of mine?” “Are you talking about Mr. Hart? Ronald has abducted Summer and wanted her to get an abortion, and then donate bone marrow. Now your husband is taking me hostage to demand Ronald to release Summer. We are on the hospital rooftop…” Daisy’s face turned pale, and she almost fainted upon hearing this, her chest heaving and her hand holding the phone shivered. Ronald abducted Summer and
On the other hand, Ronald was doing what he did because of the same reason as well; he valued her. She had wanted to call Ronald, too, to tell him to set Summer free. But she could not get through his phone. Ronald treated her with love, and she could not bring herself to do anything to hurt him. If news of the abduction went out, it was going to ruin Ronald’s life for good. Ronald was the only man in the world who treated her this way. She could not be heartless to him, even if she was uncaring and unfeeling. Just then, a sound was heard as Yvette suddenly came to the rooftop and locked the rooftop door behind her. “Here is a pretty pleasant spot to talk, eh?” Yvette walked toward the two of them, her voice bitter. “It has just been a few days and your beauty has deteriorated so much. Look at that wig of yours; it looks so fake.” Samantha ignored Yvette and reached to touch the top of her head. “Look at that face, the purple eye circles, and the skin; they are so awful.”
