Roger looked at the bottle of medicine without reaching out to take it. "What is this?" he asked.Debbie retorted, "What do you think it is?"Immediately, Roger grew agitated. "He's just a four-and-a-half-year-old child. Are you really so malicious to poison him? We agreed before that sending them out of Ivara City would be enough!"Debbie stared at him as if he were an idiot."This is a sleeping pill. One pill will make him sleep for a whole day! Give him one daily to prevent him from influencing all of you." Debbie said in a seething voice. Relieved to hear that it was a sleeping pill, Roger let out a breath and took the bottle from her hand.Debbie urged with concern, "Remember, one pill every day until you send them out of Ivara City."After leaving the earthen house, Debbie instructed Sean, "You can take action against Patricia now! She's easy to deal with because she's constantly searching for Charles everywhere."Since the incident at the detention center, Martin had been as
In her semi-conscious state, Patricia regained some consciousness during a bumpy ride. Faintly, she heard voices conversing."Should we go to the dock now?" One of the people in the vehicle questioned."Martin has blocked all the routes out of Ivara City, so we can't leave normally. We'll have to smuggle ourselves out! Sean has arranged two cargo ships for us. You take the little boy on one ship, and I'll take this woman on the other.""Why not send them away together?" the second man questioned."Sean said they shouldn't be kept together and shouldn't be sent to the same place. They need to be separated, never to see each other again in their lives.""Damn, Sean is so cruel! Separating a mother and child, isn't that a death sentence for them? This little boy is only four and a half years old. Abandoned alone in a foreign country, how can he survive? He will starve to death on the streets one day.""Yeah! The little one is definitely on a one-way road to death, and the older one... we
The Maybach raced along the bumpy road.With dozens of black SUVs following behind, the scene resembled something from a television show.Alan and Martin sat in the rear seats of the Maybach. Alan handed Martin a document and said,"We found Madam's cellphone in an abandoned warehouse on the east side of the city. Through fingerprint analysis from the scene, we discovered that a man named Grant kidnapped Madam.”Alan continued. “I also had people investigate Grant thoroughly. The file you have in your hand contains all of Grant's information."Martin opened the document and scanned it thoroughly.Grant, 35 years old, from Ivara City. At the age of 18, he was imprisoned for fighting. Two years later, he completed his sentence.One year later, he broke into a residence and accidentally injured the occupant, leaving them paralyzed for life. He was imprisoned again, this time for three years. Two years later, he was imprisoned for drug smuggling. This time, he received a ten-year sentenc
Feeling the boss's anger, Alan fiercely kicked the captain's chest."Where is Grant now?" Alan demanded. The captain's chest hurt from the kick, but he dared not make a sound. Trembling, he pointed behind the cargo ship and said."H-he and several crew members rowed a lifeboat over there, trying to salvage the body. It's a way to make it up to the employer."Hearing the word "body," Martin's face instantly became sinister and terrifying, like the king of hell."Alan, call everyone back from the sea and notify all the salvage teams in Ivara City. Tell them to prepare the most advanced equipment and come here immediately. We must find Patricia at all costs!" Martins orders demanded immediate action. When he mentioned the phrase "at all costs," his voice had a particularly biting tone, with a hint of grinding teeth."Yes! I'll arrange it right away." Alan took his orders and picked up his phone to make the arrangements.Martin then instructed the head of the security team. "Cut off th
Alan was surprised, "You've tracked down C?"After all this time, they had no clue about C, and how they have tracked him down.Luke nodded vigorously, then realized the other person couldn't see him, and said," It's definitely C, but strangely, he's been caught on camera. He's not in Country Z. According to the map, he should be on his way to Country T, but the route he's taking is unusual for a passenger ship.""Where did he depart from? Where was he when you tracked him? Can you clearly locate his whereabouts?" Alan asked.Luke honestly replied, "I tracked his information just two minutes ago, and when I traced him, he was in the Red Sea! He's still in the Red Sea." Alan asked anxiously, " Can you determine his point of departure or destination?" For some reason, he felt that something was suspicious about this. It seemed to be foreshadowing something. Otherwise, why would C, who had been hiding so well, suddenly expose his whereabouts? He was still in the Red Sea. Although he
Her voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet forest.Martin, who was about to leave, abruptly stopped in his tracks, thinking it was a hallucination brought on by longing. He stood still, closed his eyes, perked up his ears, and listened carefully.But upon closer listening, all he heard was the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, and no trace of Patricia's voice.The hope that had just ignited within was instantly shattered.Disappointed, Martin opened his eyes and prepared to search elsewhere. However, just as he took a step, he heard Patricia's voice again, calling out twice."Martin...""Martin..."This time, he truly heard it, not an illusion, but Patricia's actual voice.After confirming that Patricia was nearby, Martin quickly ran towards the depths of the forest, calling Alan on his phone at the same time to inform him of his location and request additional support.With tears welling up in his eyes, Martin dared not make a sound, fearing it would drown out Patricia's v
Martin's body was covered in wounds, not fatal, but they were shocking to look at.Alan couldn't believe it. Boss was injured like this, yet he didn't seem to feel any pain. It showed how strong his conviction was to enter the waist-high weeds.After tending to his wounds and changing into clean clothes, Martin rushed to the emergency room without delay.Patricia had already been taken to the observation ward. Martin arrived there and saw Patricia lying quietly in the hospital bed. His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction emerged, causing him to unconsciously smile."How is my wife's condition?" Martin asked the doctor.The doctor, being clever, changed the way he addressed Patricia immediately, "Mrs. Langley spent too long in the sea, which caused the injured areas to fester. However, her condition is stable now. Not a serious condition, timely cleaning and medication will not leave scars. However..."At this point, there was a pause. Just as Ma
Sean had never expected Debbie to want to take his life. Caught off guard and defenseless, by the time he realized what was happening, a fruit knife had already pierced his kidney.Blood dripped onto the floor, and the strong smell of blood permeated the cramped space, while excruciating pain surged from his lower back.He abruptly released his grip on Debbie's hand, pointed at her, and his eyes widened with disbelief. "You... how ruthless are you, actually trying to kill me..."Debbie was expressionless, looking at him ominously as if she were the devil."Only when you are dead will this secret remain forever hidden. It's the only way I can ensure that Martin remains unaware and that I can maintain a secure and peaceful existence."Sean couldn't believe he would meet his end at the hands of a woman. Anger surged to his head, prompting him to reach for Debbie's neck."Even if I have to die, I'll make sure you're buried with me!"A sudden suffocating feeling turned Debbie's face brigh
