Chapter 257
Mia’s heart soared with newfound hope as the sound of the helicopter reached her ears.
The sudden appearance of the aircraft couldn’t be a mere coincidence.
Mia couldn’t help but wonder if it might be her brothers coming to her rescue.
Fabian’s vigilance heightened as he sat in the passenger seat. “Could it be the police?” he questioned.
Ronald, behind the wheel, chuckled and brushed off the idea. “Fabian, have you been watching too many movies? Why would the police show up in a helicopter?
“We’ve been down this route countless times. What could possibly go wrong?”
“What’s the helicopter doing here, then? We’ve never seen one in this area before.”
“It could be for tourism, or perhaps the TV station is filming some aerial shots.”
Fabian found Ronald’s explanation to be somewhat plausible. After all, the prospect of a helicopter coming to rescue Mia seemed far–fetched, considering their high cost.
Before long, Ronald remarked, “Look, the helicopter is flying away. I told you it wasn’t here for us. You worry too much.”
Upon hearing this, Mia also noticed that the helicopter’s roar had considerably subsided.
Could it be true that it was merely passing by?
Mia felt anxiety gripping her as the realization sank in. The audacity of these men to carry out kidnappings in a bustling city was hard for her to fathom.
What should be her course of action now?
Was she really going to give birth in the mountains?
on after the
van abruptly screeched to a halt.
Ronald cursed, “Damn it, why is there a massive tree blocking the road? How are we supposed to
proceed now?”
“What’s our plan? Should we turn back?”
“There’s no way we’re going back. Let’s all pitch in and clear these trees out of the way.”
With that, the men exited the van, leaving Mia alone inside.

She held her breath and cautiously sat up, stealing glances outside to assess the situation.
However, her heart sank as she observed the rugged mountainous terrain.
The thought of traversing it on foot was daunting, and escape seemed nearly impossible.
Suddenly, a group of individuals clad in camouflage attire emerged, swiftly subduing the ment attempting to clear the roadblock.
Mia’s heart raced as she witnessed the unfolding scene.
Who were these mysterious interveners?
Abruptly, the van door swung open. Mia turned to find a man in camouflage attire. Though his face was smudged, his eyes were undeniably familiar.
Could it be Timothy?
Standing by the van door, Timothy swiftly cut the ropes binding Mia’s hands and feet. As he observed the marks on her wrists and ankles, his gaze turned noticeably colder.
Suppressing the chill in his eyes, Timothy lifted his head and extended a reassuring hand toward Mia. “It’s okay, you can come down.”
Mia stared at him, feeling somewhat dazed. “My legs are numb. I can’t move.”
Being pregnant, Mia refrained from making any hasty movements, fearing the potential consequences of a fall while exiting the van.
As Mia voiced her concern, she observed Timothy bending down, ready to lift her out of the van.
Instinctively, Mia wrapped her arms around Timothy’s neck, lifting her gaze to observe the camouflage paint on his face. It added a hint of mystery and rugged charm to his expression.
