The subordinate was suddenly yelled at, and didn’t know where to take the child, but Dan came over in time and asked him to go to the cab, which reduced Spencer’s irritability a little.
At this time, Dan seemed to have become Spencer’s military counsellor.
Coming to the deck and looking at Spencer drinking away his worries, Dan said, “Mr. Davies, you don’t have to be so troubled.”
“Are you saying that because you think Esmae can’t reveal our whereabouts through a phone call? You underestimate Arthur.” Spencer said coldly, sneering at Dan.
“What’s the difficulty for her to contact Chris? We know where he lives. We just need to call the front desk of the hotel. No matter how thoughtful Arthur is, he can’t even monitor the communication of the hotel, right? Just ask him to answer the phone in the name of someone else.” Dan analyzed.
As soon as Dan finished speaking, Spencer stood up abruptly. At this time, the gloom on his face was swept away, and he happily patted Dan on the shoulder and said,
“Dan, you’re still thoughtful!”
Dan curled up his lips and handed the phone to Spencer.
“You’re going to bring Esmae out. I’ll call.” After speaking, Spencer first contacted his confidant to find out the hotel reception number, and then dialed the phone.
Spencer said in a soft voice after the receptionist greeted him politely. “I’m a friend of Mr. Brown who lives in room 806. I need to talk to him urgently, but his mobile phone has been unable to reach me. Can you ask him to answer the phone for me, or transfer the call?”
“Sorry, Mr. Brown has already checked out.” The front desk lady replied politely.
Spencer frowned immediately upon hearing this, and quickly asked,
“What? Is he not in the hotel anymore?”
“Yes, he left the hotel yesterday. If you want to contact him, you can only find a way by yourself.”
“Okay, thank you.” After being polite, Spencer hung up the phone, frowned and told Dan the result.
Dan didn’t expect this to happen either, so he murmured to himself in doubt,
“Esmae is in our hands. It stands to reason that Chris would not leave Athegate so soon. He actually checked out directly. Where did he go?”
An ominous premonition enveloped Spencer’s heart, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong for a while, so the contact with Chris had to be put on hold until he could think of a better way.
How did Spencer know that at this moment, Arthur and his men were getting closer to the yacht.
As night fell, the helicopter turned on the lights. For ordinary people, this was considered a strong light, but reflected on the vast sea and the misty sky, it was like a tiny light, not worth mentioning.
After nightfall, Arthur kept looking out the window in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.
Shawn and Reynolds, who were on the same helicopter as him, found him depressed. Shawn may be a little indifferent, caring but not asking, but Reynolds had no such a character, not to mention he knew that what Arthur thought must be Lucia.
“Arthur, what are you thinking?” Reynolds asked Arthur after he’d been in the same position for nearly an hour.
Arthur slowly turned his head back. His purple pupils were as deep as the deep sea where he could not see the bottom, but he could see his lonely mood.
“I always feel that Lucia is crying…” After being silent for a while, Arthur said in a low voice.
Reynolds was taken aback, not knowing what to say for a while.
“I’ve never felt like this before…” Arthur said. His bushy eyebrows were already furrowed together and couldn’t be stretched.
“Don’t…” Reynolds’ consolation seemed a little lacking in confidence. “Don’t worry. We will arrive at the cargo ship soon, and then wait for the opportunity to board the yacht. We will be able to rescue her and the child soon.”
“But before that?” Perhaps only in front of Reynolds, who also loved Lucia, could Arthur reveal his worries, because he knew he could understand.
“Before this, what were Lucia and the baby encountering?”
Reynolds’ lips moved a few times, but he couldn’t say any more comforting words.
“You don’t have to worry about it,” Arthur said calmly when he saw Reynolds hesitated to speak, “I’ve never been so optimistic that people like Spencer can’t do anything. It’s just that just now, this kind of worry has inexplicably increased.”
“Arthur, don’t let Spencer go this time,” Reynolds said calmly. “For the rest of his life, don’t give him any chance to hurt Lucia!”
“Of course.” Arthur replied slowly. Although his voice was soft, it was merciful at the moment but there was no mercy after that!
The night was getting deeper, and no matter how tense they were, the tiredness of the body was still unstoppable. Except for the pilot, many people on the helicopter had already fallen asleep quietly, and only Arthur remained awake all the time, unable to take his eyes off the front.
At this time, on the cold floor in the cabin of the yacht, Lucia had already cried and fell asleep. She didn’t care about the numbness of her body or the pain in her heart. In a trance dream, she hugged her daughter as she wished. Gently rocking and comforting, she accompanied her to sleep.
Spencer didn’t sleep well that night. He could always hear the crying of the baby not far away, and his already anxious mood was even more unstable. Several times he wanted to rush over to cover the mouth and nose of that bastard, so that she could no longer make a sound. But the only thing that could stop his cruel behavior was the baby’s ability to control Lucia and Esmae.
The first ray of dawn cast over the sea, and a new day had dawned.
Early in the morning, Spencer “invited” Esmae out of the cabin. He threw a mobile phone on the coffee table without concealing his irritability, and said to Esmae,
“I’ll give you ten minutes to contact him, and I’ll have an answer in ten minutes.”
After a night of tossing and turning, Spencer could only choose to compromise.
Esmae looked at Spencer, then at the mobile phone on the table, but didn’t take it immediately.
“Do you want me to dial for you?” Spencer said impatiently, showing no respect for Esmae.
“If Chris doesn’t agree, what are you going to do?” Esmae still didn’t move, just stood still and asked Spencer.
Spencer was taken aback when he heard the words, because he had never considered this possibility. The Brown family was his last hope!
“No assumption!” Spencer said darkly, “He can only agree. Otherwise, you, Lucia and that bastard will all be buried in the sea!”
Esmae frowned at Spencer’s cruel words , but instead of reaching for the phone, she asked instead,
“Where’s the baby? I want to see that she’s okay.”
