She hoped that the undercover guards Nathan had secretly sent would notice something was wrong in the ward soon.


    That way, they could rescue little Colby from the wardrobe and ensure his safety.


    The minibus continued on its journey.


    Lucinda tapped her fingers, calmly calcting how long the trip would take.


    Throughout the drive, the men in suits remained silent, showing their strict discipline.


    Lucinda grew increasingly curious about their boss.


    After about 40 minutes, the minibus came to a halt.


    The men in suits removed the towel from her mouth and pulled Lucinda out of the vehicle.


    Lucinda was annoyed.


    “Could you please be gentler withdies?”


    The suited man looked surprised.


    Were the kidnapped nowadays more aggressive than their captors?


    “Your life is in our hands now.


    Don’t be so bold.


    ”


    Without any hint of fear and with a cold and arrogant voice, Lucinda said, “You kidnapped me just to make a profit from Nathan.


    If you harm me, even slightly, you know the repercussions will be severe if you upset him.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    You should handle me carefully, like something valuable.


    Understand?”

    They had no choice but to follow Lucinda’s demand to treat her gently.


    “Let’s go, Ms.


    Simmons.


    ”


    Assisted by two men, Lucinda began to walk.


    She couldn’t see where she was going, but her tied hands managed subtle movements.


    Before being brought here, she had grabbed a handful of milk powder that Colby normally ate.


    As she walked more than ten meters or rounded corners, she would slightly rx her grip, dropping bits of milk powder as she went.


    The powder was so fine it would scatter in the wind before even hitting the ground.


    Lucinda hoped that Nathan would be able to use a dog to track her down after discovering she had been kidnapped.


    The ground beneath her feet felt like soft soil, with asional broken branches.


    Lucinda wondered if she had been taken to a forest.


    As she walked, she pondered over her next n.


    As soon as Nathan and Lonnie arrived at the National Security Bureau and exited the car, Nathan’s phone rang.


    The caller was one of the policemen he had stationed at the hospital to protect Lucinda and Colby.


    Nathan’s expression darkened.


    He felt something was amiss and answered the call immediately.


    The officer said urgently, “There’s trouble, Mr.


    Payne.


    The ward shows signs of a severe fight.


    Your wife is missing, and Colby was found in the wardrobe.


    He must be hungry; he was crying, which is how we discovered his location.


    ”


    Nathan felt his heart skip a beat, his mind fixating on the phrase “Your wife is missing.
