Bernard held Eleanor tight, feeling the warmth of her body. His heart was numb from the pain, and was just now starting to calm down.
He slowly let go of Eleanor, looking at her soaked body, shivering from the cold. His heart ached again.
"I should apologize. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in this mess."
"What are you talking about? We're husband and wife. We share the good times and the bad."
Eleanor finished, looking down at her hand only to find it covered in blood. She immediately turned pale.
"Your back wound must have opened. We need to get to an ambulance right away."
She had thought it was seawater, but it turned out to be blood. Her back wound must have reopened!
Eleanor tightly held Bernard's hand and began leading him towards the waiting ambulance. However, Bernard abruptly pulled her back.
"Eleanor, it's just a minor injury," he assured her.
His attention then shifted to Gianna, who stood nearby. With determination in his eyes, Bernard commanded, "Arrest her and inform Mr. Penrod. Tell him to personally come and retrieve her, or else she won't survive!"
Addressing Aidyn, he added, "Take care of it."
Gianna understood that Mr. Law wouldn't let her escape without consequences. Seeing Aidyn approach, she remained composed, not showing much reaction.
On the other hand, as Eleanor and Elbert arrived, Gianna felt a sense of relief. As long as Eleanor was safe, she was willing to face any punishment.
Aidyn politely "escorted" Gianna onto the waiting helicopter. Once the door closed, Gianna couldn't help but inquire, "Where is Evan?"
Aidyn looked at Gianna and gave a cold smile, "Ms. Penrod, kidnappers usually don't keep all the hostages in one place."
Hearing these words, Gianna sighed. She was once a kidnapper, now she was the hostage.
