Sabrina was stunned. She did not expect that Aino's voice would come from the other end of the call. She did not expect at all that she and Sebastian's call was still connected. When she heard Aino's voice, Sabrina instantly stopped in her tracks.
"Mom! Mom!” Aino shouted incredibly anxiously at the other end of the call. "Mom, don’t die! If you die, then I will not have a mother anymore! Also, my grandma will be very pitiful. My uncle as well. Mom...you have t o stay strong. You have to stay alive! Mom, I am begging you, please. You have to stay alive. Don't die! Dad will rescue you immediately." Aino cried inconsolably.
Sabrina's heart was torn into pieces and it felt like she was bleeding out in her heart. She clenched her teeth tightly and her eyebrows were also tightly knitted. Sabrina forced herself to hold back her tears and spoke into the phone. "Baby, I promise you that I will die, but you have to take good care of your dad at home. You have to listen to your dad. Do you understand, baby?"
Aino nodded. "I understand, Mom. You have to be brave, Mom. I am very brave. I was not afraid of Uncle Holden at all. I thought of a solution very calmly and I finally escaped from Uncle Holden's end. Mom, you can do it too." How could the six-year-old child know how great of a danger her mother was in at that
moment?
Sabrina had already heard from Holden that the man who came to hijack the ship was her husband's arch enemy. He was an arch-enemy who had laid dormant for the past couple of decades. Sabrina had to tell her husband as soon as she could. She gently coaxed Aino. "Aino, don’t cry. You also have to be strong. Do you understand, baby? Look, even you can find a way back, so I certainly can do it as well. I'm still waiting for you to help me take care of the baby in my belly. Alright, Aino?”
Aino nodded again. "Mm-hmm. Alright, mom. I certainly can do my best.”
"Aino, put your dad on the phone," said Sabrina.
The person on the other end of the phone has already changed to Sebastian. "Sabrina, what happened on your end? Although it was disjointed, I also heard that it seemed to be a person named Malvolio? Was it that fugitive from more than a decade ago named Malvolio Yeatman?”
Sabrina nodded. In a hoarse voice, she said," Sebastian, that man named Malvolio certainly had come prepared. He is here for you. You have to be careful, Sebastian. This person had been lurking around Holden's end here recently. That's why I have not noticed him at all. Sebastian, you certainly have to be careful. Sebastian, I won't die. I will definitely hold out until the end..."
Before she could finish her words, she was already surrounded by men in uniforms who had swamped over from the other ship. Those men were all wearing combat suits and were all carrying heavy arms in their hands. Sabrina instantly hung up the call and hid her phone.
At that moment, a big and tall man came through from the outer circle of the crowd. The man named Malvolio Yeatman suited his name very well. Not only did he have tall stature and a slender figure, but his facial features were also very handsome. He looked nothing like the robber and fugitive he once was.
Sabrina looked calmly at that man. The man did not look at Sabrina, but he looked at Holden instead." Holden Payne, you used to tell me about it and I never believed you. I never expected that I would be seeing i t with my own eyes today that you truly are a devoted type of guy.”
"Malvolio Yeatman! You have no shame!” said Holden while he gritted his teeth.
"Haha!” Malvolio suddenly laughed hysterically." Holden Payne! You can only blame yourself for being too naive! Do you know how long I have wanted this island of yours? Five years! For five whole years, I have been planning on how to get this island of yours because this island is the nearest to Sebastian's South City. However, I had just gotten a plan, but you beat m e to the punch before I could execute my plan! You truly are very generous with your spending! You used nine hundred million dollars in one fell swoop to trade for this island. You were already the King on that island! It would have been very difficult for me to attack it again. I could only outsmart you. I could only take an indirect path to get to my goal and think of a way to approach you first. However, I never expected that you were such a fool! I originally thought that I have to go to great lengths to gain your trust, and then slowly scheme for your island. Who knew that you didn't care for your island at all? You actually willingly gave it to me just for the purpose of letting m e find a way to send you back to South City? Hahaha! You're truly a fool."
