Lauren saw my expression and asked, "What''s going on?"
I made a shushing gesture at her. I slid to answer the call and then opened the recording.
The hoarse voice of the voice changer rang out again.
"Ms. Chloe, do you think things have ended?" There was a tinge of mocking and contempt in that voice.
"What else do you want? Stop ying tricks. You''re Navi Mansk, right? I warn you, if you dare set foot on Zydan again, I''ll make sure you won''t be able to go back!" I gritted my teeth. "Hahaha..."
The voice on the other endughed uproariously, sending chills down my spine.
"Don''t forget! The most important person to As is still with me! If you want him alive, then use that notebook to trade! Consider which is more valuable, and weigh your options carefully." The other party hung up before I could continue.
Lauren looked at me, her eyes filled with fear.
I nodded at her. ''The person who kidnapped my dad! I have to go find As!''
"Then hurry up!" Lauren urged me. "Be sure to drive safely!"
I quickly left the hospital room. I called out to my mom, who was still chatting with Ivanna, "Mom, we need to go back!"
My mom stood up when she sensed something was wrong. After exchanging a few words with Ivanna, she hurried behind me and anxiously asked, "Chloe, did something happen?" "The kidnapper called me again. I have to inform As!"
I called As.
As answered immediately and said, "Chloe! Are you awake?"
"I just came out of the hospital! Navi Mansk called again! I recorded it, and I''ll send it to you! Now I''ll take my mom back to Foswood, and then go to you!"
After informing As, I sent him the recording of the phone call I just made.
Asforted me, "You don''t need to rush back and forth. I''ll go back to Foswood now!"
I felt a bit panicked. After all, the threat in Navi Mansk''s phone call made me feel unsettled. He said, ''The most important person to As is with me!'' This obviously referred to my biological father.
"Alright! Let''s meet at hometer!"
With my mother in tow, I hurriedly got into the car and headed for Foswood.
When our car just entered the private road leading to Foswood, I saw As''s car ahead, already entering the gate of Foswood. It seemed he was faster than me.
I stepped on the elerator and
drove directly through the gate. Just
as I saw As and Cane leaving the car ahead, As walked towards car. When my car stopped, he
opened the door for me. I l saying, ''It seems he escat As,
quickly exited the car and looked at As,
"Don''t worry! He will call again, and will agree to trade with him!" As said calmly. "Since we let him go, there will naturally be a time to deal with him!"
My mom exited the car and looked at us nervously, "As... they''re not done yet?"
As gently said, "You can rest assured. He doesn''t stand a chance."
He wrapped his arm around me and continued, "Let''s go in. It''s too sunny out here."
We walked directly into the house but saw my dad sitting in the living room. He would be joyfully working in the garden at this time of day every day.
He was surprised to see all of using in, but immediately realized something and stared at As with a heavy heart, "As, is it..."
He didn''t continue speaking, but we all knew what he meant.
"Yes! It seems he has escaped!" As didn''t conceal it either and said, "But you don''t have to worry! It''s time to settle the score with him!"
"Is he... asking to trade for someone using the notebook?" My dad looked at us and asked.
His question surprised me. My dad knew that Navi Mansk would take this step.
My dad sighed regretfully, his face pale at seeing our reactions, and he whispered, "It''s fate! I''ve been escaping from them for 20 years, but yet I failed!" Then he suddenly looked up at my mom and ordered, "Go get the notebook!"
After ncing at him and briefly bing pale, my mother turned around and walked upstairs to get it.
My dad said to both of us, "Come over and sit down."
As As dragged me over to the couch, I couldn''t resist giving him a quick squeeze. I knew that what my father was going to say would be of interest to me.From N?velDrama.Org.
