Before Cornelia could respond, Dylan had already handed the car keys to her. "The medicine is in the box in the middle of the back seat. I hope you can fetch it for me," Dylan said.
"Okay." Cornelia turned to Abigail and said, "Abby, you guys keep an eye on him. I'll get the medicine and be back ASAP."
"Alright, hurry up." Abigail looked at Dylan, her heart filled with dissatisfaction. This guy knew he shouldn't drink but he did anyway. If anything happened, their peaceful life might be a goner.
Cornelia hurried downstairs, walked out of the residence area and went to the car to get the medicine. As she opened the back door and got in to fetch the medicine, to her surprise, there was a man in a suit in the back seat.
Realizing she might have been set up, Cornelia tried to escape, but the car door was locked in an instant, and the driver started the car immediately. Cornelia tried to secretly call her emergency contact, but it seemed like the signal was jammed in the car and she couldn't even make the call for help.
Cornelia steadied herself, looked at the driver wearing a hat and mask, and asked, "Who are you guys? Where are you taking me?"
They seemed to ignore her, not saying a word.
"Do you guys realize that it's illegal to deprive a citizen of their freedom?" Cornelia asked.
At these words, the man next to her let out a cold laugh, as if mocking how ridiculous Cornelia's words were.
Cornelia checked her phone again, still no signal. All she could do now was to wait, wait for Abigail to realize something was off, wait for them to call the cops and rescue her.
She just didn't know if she could safely wait for help...
......
Abigail waited for a long time, but Cornelia didn't return. She took out her phone to call, but Cornelia's phone was unreachable. Worried that something might have happened to Cornelia, she said anxiously, "Dad, Mom, I can't get through to Nelly's phone, can you guys try?"
Allen and Sonya also tried calling Cornelia, but to no avail.
