Jordan slightly froze for a moment before slowly nodding his head.
The car drove into the mountains behind the villa. The commotion at the villa continued, and there was thunder roaring in the sky. It looked like it was about t o rain.
The mountain road was rugged, and I grew dizzy on the road. My stomach turned, and I dry-heaved several times.
After entering the mountains, the car drove into a clearing with a small airplane parked on it.
The driver stopped the car and looked back at us. "Get out, quick.”
He immediately got out of the car after saying that.
I followed closely behind him. Shannon and the rest got out of the car as well and started running behind m e toward the airplane.
"Get on, quick!" The man standing at the aircraft door shouted at us, "Hurry up!"
I subconsciously looked in the direction of the villa. A s there were trees covering my sight, I was not able to see the villa anymore. There was only smoke slowly rising at the top.
Shannon and the rest were helped onboard, so I quickly followed along.
Something felt wrong, yet I could not pinpoint what it was.
Seeing Shannon's slightly pale face, I asked worriedly, "How are you feeling?”
She opened her eyes a little weakly and looked at me t o say something, but because her throat was parched, she was not able to get the words out.
Sitting beside us, the man said, "Don't move around. The plane is about to take off."
"Where's Jordan?” I looked at him and asked curiously.
The man’s gaze flickered slightly. "We’ll leave first. Mr. Fredericks will meet us in the north.”
I nodded and did not ask any more questions.
I looked at Shannon and her pained expression. Although I was very worried about her, it was more important for us to get out of here right now.
The plane took off. Shannon suddenly clasped her tummy and cried out in pain. Looking at her forehead that was filled with sweat, as well as her tormented expression, I could only imagine how much pain she was in.
I was extremely worried and wanted to help her but a man stopped me. "Our men will handle it, Ms. Lane. Please sit tight and don't obstruct the work of our
men."
I pursed my lips. “Okay.”
The men summoned two staff who helped Shannon into the operation cabin. I could not be of any help and could only wait anxiously.
Four hours later, the plane landed.
When I got off the plane, I had no idea where I was and was about to ask the man when he said," Everyone, hurry up and get onto the plane in front."
Why were we changing planes?
Did Jordan plan all of this in advance?
I was a little doubtful but did not ask the man any questions.
After boarding the plane, I looked back at Nina and the rest who were helped onto the plane.
They had barely said anything in the last few days. After the journey, they were completely drained and their faces were pale. If no one supported them, they would have fallen after taking a few steps.
I could not help but frown when I noticed them clutching their tummies.
The man came over and urged us to take our seats, so I did not ask him why the first thing itself.
Shannon was feeling much better now and sat in the cabin.
There were many strangers in the cabin and something just felt wrong, yet I could not pinpoint what it was even after a while.
The plane was ready for take-off. After buckling up m y seatbelt, I looked out the window yet did not feel the joy of being saved. Instead, I felt a little worried.
It took more than ten hours for the plane to arrive in the north, and by the time it landed, I was already very muddle-headed.
