“Why,” Esmae glanced at Spencer and said lightly, “Chris has already agreed to consider your conditions. What else are you not satisfied with?”
“Esmae, you’d better not play any tricks. If I know, I’ll throw that bastard into the sea to feed the sharks!” Spencer vented all his anger on Esmae.
Esmae frowned deeply, staring at Spencer without saying a word. After a while, she was locked back in the cabin again. At this moment, she really wanted to break through the barriers to tell Lucia the good news, but now all she could do was pray that Lucia would keep going.
The call came to an abrupt end, and everyone on the helicopter felt extremely solemn. Although they didn’t know whether Spencer would be as vicious as he threatened, it was true that they only had 120hours left.
“Speed up immediately, and we will arrive at the location of the freighter within five hours.” Even though his heart was full of thorns and was stabbed and scarred, Arthur was still the calmest person, and he quickly issued an order.
After receiving the order, the pilot drove the helicopter forward at full speed, but everyone felt that this speed was still slow, and they all wished that they would grow wings and fly to save them.
An hour later, Otis sent back a message. At this time, they had arrived at the location of the freighter, and they were only a hundred nautical miles away from Esmae’s location. The two ships would meet in a few hours. Arthur told Otis not to startle them, and wait for the meeting first.
At noon, Lucia woke up in a daze. She opened her eyes and subconsciously looked for the baby that she had been holding in her arms in the dream. When she regained consciousness, she remembered that the baby had been taken away by Spencer, and she immediately got up. Repeating the action of knocking on the door countless times last night, this time, there was a response.
The cabin door opened suddenly, and Spencer was standing at the door with a dinner plate. Seeing Lucia’s haggard face with tears, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice,
“Eat something.”
Lucia reached out and knocked the dinner plate from Spencer’s hand to the ground, grabbed his wrist and shouted sharply,
“Give me back the baby!”
Spencer glanced at Lucia’s eyes full of tears. This time, he easily broke free from Lucia’s restraint, and said in a cold voice,
“I’ll return her to you.”
Lucia leaned weakly on the deck, but there was no trace of cowardice in her eyes. On the contrary, she was fierce and murderous like a trapped beast with all its fighting spirit aroused.
Seeing Lucia look at him like this, Spencer couldn’t tell what it was like, and even felt aggrieved. Did she really think he would hurt her?
Spencer didn’t know it. Until now, everything he did was hurting Lucia.
Cold-blooded and selfish people can’t figure this out.
“I advise you to eat something,” Spencer glanced at the food spilled on the ground, and said cruel words indifferently.
“Don’t starve to death before I make a deal with Mr. Brown.”
“Spencer,” Lucia stared at Spencer’s wandering eyes and asked him in a hoarse voice,
“Do you really think you can get everything you want?”
Spencer was chilled down the spine by Lucia’s stare, but he still pretended to be calm and said,
“Of course I can, as long as you and the child are still in my hands.”
“You miscalculated.” Lucia said quietly.
Spencer raised his eyebrows in surprise, and finally dared to meet Lucia. What did she mean?
“You took everyone’s thoughts into account, but you forgot to take into account my reaction,” Lucia’s eyes were cold and deep, like a mandala, beautiful, but exuding deadly danger.
“Before, now, everything you have done to me and my daughter, I, Lucia, swear, I will pay back a hundredfold!”
Spencer’s heart skipped a beat, but he couldn’t refute. He just stared blankly at Lucia’s eyes full of hatred, unable to move under her hatred.
With the last glance at Spencer, Lucia slowly turned her back. Her eyes cast blankly on the distant sea, never showing any emotion again.
Looking at Lucia’s slender back, Spencer clearly felt pain. The unbearable love for Lucia may be the last emotion he can feel.
Never mind!
Spencer closed the hatch angrily. As long as he can get glory and wealth, he can give up upon this woman!
In the afternoon, the scorching sun shone across the sea, and the helicopter finally found the target in the vast sea, which was the freighter where Otis was.
“Mr. Davies! We found the freighter!” The pilot excitedly reported to Arthur.
And before this, Arthur had been silent for several hours.
Hearing the voice, he moved slightly and spoke slowly,
“Prepare to land.”
Seeing this, Reynolds was very worried about Arthur’s condition, and no one was more heartbroken than Arthur when he heard Spencer’s savage words.
“Arthur, are you okay?” Reynolds couldn’t help asking with concern.
“Not good,” Arthur didn’t even bother to hide his emotions. He leaned back in the seat and said weakly, “But it’s still going on.”
Hearing this, Reynolds and Shawn looked at each other, feeling very uncomfortable.
Shawn thought for a while and said to Arthur,
“Although it’s a little heartless to say so, after boarding the ship later, Arthur, you have to hide your emotions appropriately. Otherwise everyone will be uneasy.”
“I understand.” Arthur knew for himself that he would not let the elders see him like this, but before that, he let himself take a breath.
Not long after, several helicopters arrived on top of the freighter. This freighter had traveled from abroad and was huge in size. Even though there were a lot of cargo on the deck, there was still room for helicopters. Arthur and the others landed here.
Before he was about to get off the helicopter, Arthur took a deep breath. When he got off, the sorrow on his brows had been hidden, and he became the calm and composed person again.
Reynolds knew that Arthur was almost reaching a critical point at this time.
Otis and his men were waiting for them on the deck. They were not excited or happy when they met, and all of them looked dignified and worried.
“Mom, Dad, Mr. Brown, Helena, you go to the cabin to rest first. I will discuss something with Arthur and the others.” Otis said as soon as they met.
But no one moved. Everyone looked at Arthur anxiously.
After noticing everyone’s gaze, Arthur slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and asked in a relaxed manner,
“Why are you looking at me?”
But everyone could see that Arthur couldn’t express his smile, because he just didn’t want them to worry.
