Hester struggled to move her elbow, but the pain was not alleviated at all. She took a deep breath.
"Dear uncles, could you please let Auntie April and I move around? We've been kidnapped for a day
and a night. You must have a purpose to kidnap us. If you make your chips go wrong before your goal
was achieved, it is not worth it."
A childish voice suddenly sounded in the quiet air. If it weren't for the voice was too close to her, Hester
wouldn't believe that it was said by the three-year-old child beside her.
She tightened her grip on Thomas, and a thin layer of sweat rose from her back. Since they had been
brought here, no one had spoken to them. No matter how reasonable Thomas' words were, it was still
very dangerous for them.
A hint of playfulness flashed across the man's face. He stood up from the sofa and his long body
exuded a trace of noble temperament, which made people can't help but look at him.
The shadow lengthened on the ground and finally stopped in front of Hester and Thomas. He lifted the
black cloth on Thomas' face and smiled.
"There are always many interesting things in the world."
Hester's heart skipped a beat. His voice was so clear that it wouldn't have achieved such an effect if he
hadn't been standing in front of them.
"He is just a kid. Please don't make things difficult for him. What exactly do you want? Just tell me."
Staring at the child in front of him with burning eyes, the man's resolute lips raised slightly. His face was
pale and a little morbid, which made his black eyes more and more beautiful.
"What's your name?"
"Thomas!"
Without fear, Thomas looked into his eyes and replied decisively. Feeling Hester's sweat, a hint of
worry flashed through his eyes.
"If I answer your question, shouldn't you say something?"
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. Marvin covered his mouth with his hand and coughed slightly.
He glanced at the people behind him and hinted them to untie the rope.
"It's rare to see a kid so calm after being tied up. I appreciate your courage. As a reward, I reluctantly
agree to your request."
The sudden light made Hester uncomfortable. She closed her eyes for a while before she hurriedly
held Thomas tightly in her arms. Then she looked up at the morbid face.
She didn't know how to face him at this moment.
She had imagined countless possible scenes in her mind, but she didn't expect that the kidnapper
didn't know was such a weak patient.
"Auntie April, are you okay?"
Thomas raised his eyebrows and glared at Marvin with dissatisfaction. He held Hester's hand tightly
and asked softly.
"Oh, I'm fine."
The drifting emotion was pulled back. Hester's face was slightly hot, and she was a little embarrassed.
How could she be in a daze at the person who kidnapped her? It was really speechless.
"Ah!" With a scream, Hester had to put down her arms. Her face was wrinkled because of the pain.
"Auntie April, are you okay? Are you okay?"
Thomas looked at Hester anxiously and asked nervously. His father once said that mother was afraid of
pain the most, which he had remembered for many years.
Although he didn't know how much pain his mother could endure, his arms were also sore and numb.
Hester shook her head, her forehead covered with sweat. Looking at Thomas, she despised herself for
not being able to bear as much as a child.
"I'm fine, Thomas. Don't worry! As for you, don't you feel uncomfortable after being tied up for so long?"
Hearing her concern, Thomas shook his head with a sweet smile.
Was Mom caring about him? Did his mother never want to abandon him from the very beginning just
because she had her own reason?
Just like his father was busy with his work and didn't have time to accompany him, right?
"I'm fine, Auntie April. Don't worry!"
"Wow!"
Marvin slightly shook his head, his dark eyes fixed on the two people in front of him, and raised his
eyebrows.
"Although I don't know the relationship between you, as long as I get what I want, I will let you go!"
Hester breathed a sigh of relief and held Thomas tightly in her arms. With the corner of her eyes
surrounding the environment, she wondered how likely it was for them to escape.
"Don't try to escape. Although the method of using children and women to achieve my goals is
disdainful, I still prefer obedient and sensible hostages."
Catching Hester's real intention easily, there was a faint smile on Marvin's morbid face, but for no
reason, he looked kind of creepy.
Thomas looked at the person in front of him nervously, holding Hester tighter.
Although this man didn't seem to have much attacking power, the strange thing was that he had such a
strong malicious aura. Even his morbid pale face could not hide the viciousness in his eyes.
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. Marvin coughed slightly along the corner of his mouth. He was
very satisfied with what he saw.
Women and children had always been the weak group, and he looked down upon them from the
bottom of his heart.
"As long as you are obedient, I won't make things difficult for you, nor will I let you suffer!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Hester, who was still in a state of shock, and
Thomas, who was enjoying his mother's love.
"Sir, they are coming."
As soon as Marvin stepped out of the factory, his man rushed over. He leaned close to him and
lowered his voice deliberately.
"So soon?"
A playful smile appeared on his face. His fingertips stroked the ring, shining in the sun, but with a fierce
momentum.
"Let them in!"
Jackson was taken into a house. Without changing his face, he looked around and raised his eyebrows
impatiently.
"Mr. Jackson really has a bad temper!"
A faint voice came from the door, followed by a thin figure. There was a strange flush on Marvin's pale
face, but his eyes were horribly bright.
"The Lian family is so declining now. It's really pathetic that you even use the trick of kidnapping
people! If the former sect leader of the Lian family is still alive, will he be mad at
you?"
