“How dare you bring someone along?”
As soon as this text popped up, Jenna gasped.
Could they have discovered Hansen and the others?
Her heart skipped a beat, but she remained cool and immediately replied, “No, I came here alone. I brought the treasure. Please bring me to Sergio.”
After the text was sent, she felt uneasy. Her phone was silent for a long time.
After sitting for a while, she felt anxious in her heart and dialed Sergio’s number, but his phone was not turned on. Jenna was anxious and angry, sitting in a daze.
After a while, there was still no text from him.
She thought about it. That day when Sergio saved her, she remembered he had another phone number. She took out her phone and searched for it. As expected, she found the other phone number. When she was about to dial it, she hesitated.
After thinking for a while, she sent a message instead.
“Sergio, I came to the town as you asked, but your men think I’m suspicious. I’ve waited for a while. Yet, no one came to pick me up. Is this your sincerity? I am a frail woman. What can I do to you? What’s more, my mother is in your hands. I’s starting to wonder if you were just toying with me.”
After sending this message and waiting for a while, she received a reply.
“Drive and follow my instructions.” He used the same trick.
Jenna frowned. These people were indeed special agents. They were so cautious. She thought of Hansen and wondered how they were doing. Did they know that they had changed their location?
It was as if he knew what she was thinking. Very quickly, Hansen sent a message.
“Jenna, do as he instructed. Don’t be afraid.”
Jenna’s spirits lifted when she saw this text. She knew that Hansen had her back. She felt relieved and drove forward.
Whenever there was an intersection, a message would come over and tell her which way to go. In this way, after another half an hour ride, Jenna arrived at a small villa, which was isolated from the village at the front and back.
She parked there, and there were no texts for a long time.
She sat in the car, and a headache was throbbing in her head. However, she did not dare to let tiredness engulf her body. Her palms were sweaty as she feared for her mother.
“Jenna, calm down. They’re about to show themselves.” Her phone beeped with a new text. Jenna lowered her head to take a look. It was from Hansen.
When she looked up, she saw that on the village’s field, the sun was rising slowly, and a thin layer of fog was lingering on the rice field. The scene was extremely beautiful. As the breeze blew gently, it was cool and refreshing, and Jenna was much more awake.
“Get out of the car.” At that moment, a message popped up.
Jenna hesitated for a moment before she picked up the box and got out of the car with her phone.
“Walk forward. Stop whenever I tell you to.”
Jenna looked at her phone and obeyed.
In front of her was a forked road, and next to it was a ditch. Jenna was walking carefully.
All of a sudden, a black car rushed out from the side. It seemed to have been driven out of a farmhouse. Before she could figure out what was going on, the door was opened, and a hand pulled her in.
Jenna screamed. The door was slammed shut. The engine roared, and the car drove to the road ahead.
Jenna was still in shock before she came to her senses. Only then did she see that there were two middle-aged men in black sitting in the car. Their faces were covered, and only their eyes were revealed. A sharp knife was pressed against Jenna’s waist.
Jenna’s heart trembled. She put a hand on her belly and whispered in her heart, “Child, don’t be afraid. Your father will come to save us. Mommy is here with you. Don’t be afraid.”
The route on the mountain was in circles, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west. Jenna felt dizzy. She couldn’t even tell the direction they were going. Finally, when she was in a daze, a man held her arm and put her down.
When she opened her eyes, she found that she was in the depths of the mountain. There was a very beautiful villa here.
“Go in.” The man behind her nudged her forward, and Jenna almost fell down. It took her a lot of effort to stand firm. She walked inside.
“Jenna, you’re finally here.” Sergio was wearing pure white pyjamas and his hair was combed back. At that time, he was standing on the stairs and looking down at her with a smile.
“Sergio, where is my mother?” Jenna stood in the room and followed the sound to see Sergio with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was leaning against the stairs with a smirk on his face. She was in no mood to pay attention to him. So, she questioned him directly.
“B*tch, be polite to our chief.” A man next to him looked at Jenna and cursed at her.
Sergio looked at the box in Jenna’s hand. He smiled, and was obviously in a good mood.
“Hey, don’t scare my wife.” He waved to them. “This is your future mistress. You should treat her politely.”
The two men beside him glanced at each other, and then answered one after another, “Yes.” They then lowered their heads.
“You can leave now and guard the door carefully. We will leave at night.” Sergio waved the men away.
“Jenna. You didn’t have breakfast yet, did you? I have prepared some for you. Come with me.” Sergio came over, smiling at her.
“I’m not hungry. Sergio, where is my mother? I want to see her.” Jenna rejected the offer and asked coldly instead.
“Ah, you’re already here. Why are you so anxious? We’re going to be a family in the future. Your mother is like my mother too. You know she likes me. How can’t I treat her well?” Sergio just smiled cheekily.
Jenna felt anxious. She gave him a death stare that pierced through his soul.
Sergio took a step back and looked at Jenna’s haggard face. He sighed and said, “Jenna, if you had listened to my advice earlier, then we wouldn’t have ended up like this. Maybe we would have gone abroad earlier to enjoy a wonderful life.”
“Shut up, Sergio. Do you know what you’re doing now? You’ve committed a crime. I’m already a person with a family. How can I fall in love with someone like you? Stop dreaming and let go of my mother. She’s ill now and can’t live without medication everyday. If you don’t let me see her, then you’ll be convicted of murder if something happens to her,” Jenna said sternly, mercilessly, and sharply.
When Sergio heard this, he hesitated. What she said was true. Sara had had a kidney transplant, and she needed to take medicine everyday to maintain that.
“How about this, Jenna? Give me the treasure, and I’ll take you to your mother.” Sergio reached out to the box as he said.
Jenna gripped the box tightly and said, “No, I want to see my mother first,” When she said this, she was afraid that he would not believe her. She then added, “Don’t you dare take the treasure away by force, even if we are in your territory. Let me tell you. You need a password to open this box. If I don’t tell you, then you can’t open it even if you get it. If you take it abroad, then you can’t sell it. You’d better cooperate with me.”
Sergio squinted at her, and the corner of his lips twitched. After a while, he said with a smile, “Jenna, that’s not necessary. You’re going to the United States with me. We’ll talk about it then. We are family after all.”
Speaking of this, he said while pouting, “Jenna, you don’t believe me no matter how well I treat you. Okay, since you don’t believe me, I will take you to see your mother first.”
As he spoke, he led her to the second floor.
Jenna tightly held the box and followed him.
After a few steps, Sergio suddenly turned around.
Jenna jumped up in fright. Sergio was tall and big while Jenna was thin and delicate. As soon as he turned back, Jenna saw the complex emotions in his eyes. There was a mix of pain and loneliness. His gaze was focused on her face before tracing back to her belly. The gloom on his face flashed and disappeared.
“Jenna, you still refuse to believe me. You don’t want to go with me. All my infatuation for you is in vain,” he said in a low voice, he sounded a little weather-beaten.
Jenna’s heart started to thump wildly. She didn’t understand what he meant. Had he found anything amiss? Or did he find out that Hansen was following them from behind?
Was there something wrong with her behavior?
With a complicated stare, he stood in front of her. However, after a while, he muttered to himself, “Even if the world betrays me, I won’t betray you. Jenna, I only beg you to take me seriously. I won’t make things difficult for you.”
After saying that, he sighed in a low voice, turned his head, and went upstairs.
They stopped in front of a door on the second floor.
Jenna’s heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Intuitively, she knew that her mother should be locked up here.
Sergio turned around to look at her. He could not help but to smile when he saw her face flushing red out of anxiety. Then, he pushed open the door.
“Mom.” Jenna was the first to rush in.
“Jenna, why are you here?” Sara was lying on the bed. Although her face was gaunt, her expression was calm. However, after seeing Jenna, her eyes dimmed and her face darkened.
“Mom, I finally found you.” When Jenna saw Sara, she felt that all the fear was worth it. She rushed up and burst into tears with Sara in her arms.
