It was a hot day today, Karen Daly only had on a thin white dress for the pregnant women. The dagger was pressed close against her belly. As long as they gently put forth their strength, the dagger would be inserted into her abdomen, and then her child—
Thinking of this, Karen Daly's heart was in chaos. She was so nervous that she just breathed slowly and her body was so stiff that she dared not move.
She did not know why these people were holding her hostage.
For the sake of money?
If that was the case, she could give all her savings in the past few years to them, as long as the child and she would be safe.
Or vengeance?
If it was for revenge, who would it be?
Karen Daly was so nervous that her mind was in a mess. She couldn't think of anyone else who would cause trouble for them.
She looked up and happened to see a couple passing by, but they did not see anything unusual.
There were two security guards not far away, but she did not dare to call for help. Once she called for help made the two of them mad, there was no telling what they would do.
In a short period of time, Karen Daly thought of many things, and her hands were trembling slightly.
But she tried to calm herself down, to not be so scared. Before she was taken away by these two men, she must think of a way to leave behind some clues, so that Mia Kyle would know that something had happened to her.
She tried for a long time, and finally calmed down a little. She really wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but her voice was still trembling.
She said, "What, what do you want to do? If you want money, I can..."
"Shut up. If we hear one more word from you, we'll cut off your d*mn tongue!" The man with the dagger pressed hard, and Karen Daly felt pain in her stomach.
She quickly closed her mouth and did not dare to say another word. It was impossible to leave any clues for Mia Kyle. She could only let the two men take her away.
...
Mia Kyle bought two bottles of water. When she came back to where Karen Daly was, she could not see her. She thought that Karen Daly had gone to the bathroom, so she sat down and waited for her.
But after waiting for a while, Karen Daly still has not returned, Mia Kyle felt that something was wrong, so she called Karen Daly's phone. When she called, all she heard was the machine's cold voice, “The number you have dialed has been turned off. Please dial later.”
She could not contact Karen Daly, so Mia Kyle quickly contacted the driver who sent them here to ask if Karen Daly had gone back to the car due to fatigue.
But the driver said that Karen Daly did not return to the car, nor did he see Karen Daly.
After hearing the driver's words, Mia Kyle rushed to the service center of the shopping mall and asked them to help her announce the search. After the broadcast, there was still no news of Karen Daly.
Mia Kyle had been with Karen Daly for many days, so she knew that Karen Daly was not a person who would make people worry. When they separated, she would not turn her phone off, nor let anyone panic for her.
After thinking for a while, a bad thought came to Mia Kyle's mind. Did something happen to Karen?
Her sister-in-law was pregnant. If something happened to her, she—
With this thought, Mia Kyle's mind was in a mess.
It was she who brought her sister-in-law out. If something happened to her sister-in-law, she couldn't face her brother or the elders of the Kyle family. She felt even more sorry for the baby in her sister-in-law's belly.
