The nanny and the bodyguard looked shocked. "Ms. Dennis, where are you going at this hour?"
Violette was tense all over. She couldn't hide her nervousness, nor muster even a hint of a smile for the kids. Her eyes were red and swollen as she told Ian, "Ian, take good care of your sister."
Ian was always strong, but he was scared by the sight of his mother. Though he was more mature than most kids his age, he was still only five. He clung to Violette's clothes, asking in a fearful and sad voice, "Mommy, where are you going?"
Under normal circumstances, Violette would patiently explain to the kids, even with white lies, to soothe their feelings. But now, her body was cold and she couldn't think straight!
There was only one thing on her mind, she had to go to B Country to rescue Adrian! No matter the risk, no matter the cost!
Adrian was captured because of her. If Adrian didn’t know her, he would never have suffered like this. That bloody finger felt like a knife, stabbing deep into her heart.
The taxi stopped outside the mansion. Before Mike even got out of the car, he heard Rita's heart-wrenching cries. He saw the two kids clinging to Violette's arm. Violette was determined to leave with suitcase in hand. His heart twisted in pain as he approached Violette and took the suitcase from her.
"Violette, what on earth are you doing? The kids are crying, can't you hear them?!" Mike threw her suitcase aside, hands on his hips, demanding, "What happened? I heard something about a package. Where is it?!"
She lowered her head and walked away. Mike followed her.
"I received the package at one in the afternoon. If I don't get to B Country within 24 hours of receiving the package, they're going to kill Adrian!" Despair was evident in Violette's eyes, "I don’t have much time. Don’t try to stop me!"
Mike didn’t realized the situation was so bad.
"I'll go with you. Don’t leave me here babysitting! Violette, these people aren't ordinary bad guys! You going alone is suicide! Think for the baby in your belly!"
