Kidnapping
“Yes, he’ll be fine.” Right then, Arielle realized the boy must have had a unique identity. Regardless, her
adoptive parents’ matter was more urgent, and Vinson would be fine after he made it past tonight.
With that thought in mind, she looked at the boy. “Can I ask you for a favor?”
Earlier, the boy followed her to the hospital and waited for a few hours when Vinson was in surgery.
Knowing he was grateful for Vinson’s help, Arielle decided to entrust Vinson to him.
“Please go ahead,” the boy answered as he stared at her with a serious look. She’s pretty and speaks
fluent Ustranasion.
“I need to attend to another matter, but I don’t know when I’ll be back. Can you please take care of Mr.
Nightshire?”
“Is it dangerous? If it is, I can ask my father to assign someone to protect you,” the boy suggested as
though he knew Arielle was going to a perilous place.
Arielle shook her head. If possible, she would bring her men along. Alas, her adoptive parents were in
that man’s hands, and she dared not take the risk. “No need. I can head there myself.”
A look of disappointment flashed across the boy’s face when he heard she didn’t need his help. I really
like her.
“All right. I’ll take good care of him, so don’t worry. We’ll be waiting for you here,” the boy looked up and
promised solemnly.
Arielle patted his head before turning to leave. She headed to the Wilhelms’ house alone. There was no
time to imagine what would happen there.
“Wait up!” Before she could leave the hospital, a clear voice rang out to stop her. Arielle turned at her
shoulder to see the boy dashing toward her.
“What’s wrong?” she demanded anxiously. “Did something happen to him?”
The boy shook his head hurriedly to dispel her anxiety. “This is my contact. You can reach me at this
number. My name is Casper.”
He shoved a name card into Arielle’s palm and ran away before she could react.
Arielle glanced at the name card and memorized the number swiftly. She then ripped it into pieces and
tossed it into the bin.
There was no telling what she would encounter at the Wilhelms’ house. Hence, she couldn’t allow the
enemy to get the name card from her and do something unimaginable with horrible consequences.
Anyway, she had already memorized the content with her photographic memory.
Outside, Arielle hailed a taxi to head to the Wilhelms’ house.
Throughout the journey, she was worried about Vinson and the Wilhelms. However, she knew that
Vinson would be safe as long as he made it past that night.
She could tell that the young boy wasn’t heartless, so he would definitely take care of Vinson sincerely.
For now, she was plagued with dread over the Wilhelms’ plight.
I wonder who their kidnapper is and what his goal is.
Meanwhile, at the Wilhelms’ house, after knowing that Arielle would make her way here, the kidnapper
tied the Wilhelms up before stuffing rags into their mouth to shut them up.
“Mm… Mm…” The three of them struggled after learning that Arielle was about to arrive. They didn’t
want her to see them in this state.
“Stop moving around. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.” Under their worried gazes, the man parted his lips to
say, “I won’t hurt Arielle, too.”
