I knew she said this in front of us on purpose just to frighten me.
Munchkin hugged me tightly, and I caressed his head without making a sound
The housekeeper took us upstairs, and behind us, Sara's wicked eyes kept watching us until the corner.
I did not know how many turns we took before we finally reached the room.
The housekeeper unlocked it with his face. After taking my mobile phone away, he pushed us in and the door closed with a sound.
It was pitch-black here. I was worried that Munchkin would be afraid, so I hugged him tightly. "Don't be afraid, Munchkin. It'll be
alright."
There was a slight echo to my words. It seemed that this room was positioned very close to the core. Even if I had a phone, it was likely that I would not have a signal.
"Mommy, that bad woman just said that she wanted to starve us to death. Will we really die here?"
Munchkin trembled in my arms.
He was just a kid, and in this situation, he must be scared.
Thinking of this, I could not help but hold him tighter. "No, we'll get out soon."
"Really, Mommy?"
"Really."
From what Sara said just now, there must be surveillance here. She must be able to hear our conversation. I did not tell
Munchkin that I had a way to escape.
I had guessed that it would be Sara's handiwork while I was on the way here, so I called Tyler and told him to check in 20 minutes later for Munchkin’s safety.
Maybe Theo and the police might not be able to find this place, but Tyler should be able to figure out where Sara might be.
What was more, this villa was given to Sara by him, so he must be very familiar with it.
