This is such a difficult decision. On one hand, he is the man I love, and on the other hand, they are my family. If it's possible, I would rather die!
Jennifer could not help but look back at Donald and realized that he was looking at her.
She was surprised by his expression as he had an inconceivable expression. There was only nonchalance and no emotions.
Donald did not speak and stared blankly at her.
“Ten! Nine! Eight!
Rupert's voice came from the phone, sounding like the devil himself. It was followed by the miserable screams of Kevin and his family. It was extremely chaotic.
“Ah!”
Jennifer was in a daze when Kevin's miserable screams interrupted her thoughts.
She was alarmed and turned hurriedly to look at the video. She then saw Rupert chopping off one of Kevin's fingers with a knife.
“No. No! I'll say it. I'll say it!” Tears brimmed down fiercely from Jennifer's face, and her face was white as a sheet. “Don’t hurt my family!”
“Say it! I don't have much time!” Rupert hollered, “As long as you tell me, I promise not to hurt them!”
“Jadar Stone. It's Jadar Stone!” Jennifer screamed as if she had lost all her strength.
Rupert chuckled smugly. “Sure enough. It's just as we guessed. Okay, stop crying. Don't worry. Your family will arrive home safely in a few hours.”
The video call ended.
Jennifer could not help but turn her head to look at Donald.
He just stood there as still as a statue.
There was a vacant look in his eyes, and he did not have any emotions on his face.
No one could imagine what he was feeling right then.
There was nothing worse than a broken heart.
“I'm sorry, Donald! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!” Jennifer ran to embrace
Donald.
