Eudora's got it.
She had more or less figured it out. After all, she had come across some organizations before. Although she did not commit crimes, she had seen the tools of the trade.
"You may have been drugged. That's why you are weak now. Don't worry, it doesn't look like it will take your life. I think it's just weakening you."
Upon hearing this, Naomi finally relaxed a little. She then went to check on Nelson's wounds.
Seeing that, Eudora said no more and slumped in her corner.
She had no taste for playing gooseberry to a couple of lovebirds.
After the two of them were done checking for a while and confirmed that it was no big deal, Naomi turned to look at her mother.
"Mom, are we going to wait like this?"
Eudora shook her head and said, "Of course not. Your father will come and save us!"
Naomi was still a little worried. She asked, "This place is so remote. What if he can't find us?"
Eudora shook her head again. She was exceptionally certain.
"No, your father will definitely be able to find us!"
With that, Naomi said no more. Deep down, she was still disconcerted.
However, on second thought, there was nothing to be worried about since her lover and her mother were by her side.
Concurrently, living up to Eudora's expectations, Amos was searching frantically for them.
However, he didn't do it openly because he was afraid that the kidnappers would hurt his wife and daughter if they saw him coming.
Therefore, he could only continue his frantic search for them in secret.
The area was too large to be searched by a single person. It was not as easy as he first thought.
But when he thought of Eudora and Naomi, he couldn't give up.
He prayed for them and hoped to find them soon.
What he didn't know was that his every move was actually under surveillance.
Meanwhile, Monique was looking at Amos through the video taken by the long-range drone.
"Amos really does live up to his reputation. In a moment like this, he can still be so collected."
Richard admired his composure. There were two kinds of men that he admired the most. One was the real hero, and the other was men who cherish kinship and friendship.
To him, no matter how high a person's status was, he or she could only be considered a righteous human being if he or she has a big heart.
At the thought of this, Richard turned to look at Monique.
"Miss Monique, should we find a way to let them out soon?"
Monique curled her lips and said, "Let them out? Why the hurry?"
Looking at Monique's expression, he suddenly had a bad premonition of what was to come.
"Miss Monique, didn't we make a deal..."
"Yes, it's what we agreed on. What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I'm not going to kill anyone! By the way, there's no one taking care of the company these couple of days, go ahead and do your work. I'll handle the situation here."
"I've arranged the company's affairs, I..."
"Are you defying me?" Monique's tone was getting colder.
Richard had to obey and turn around. He replied,
"Then I'll go!"
After Richard left, Monique glanced at Amos from the screen. Then, she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Now, you can do what we've agreed on!"
Being together with her lover, there was a brief moment of happiness for Naomi in the room. She was relatively calm whereas Eudora had been apprehensive.
