Chapter 392 Inescapable
There were two guards each behind Lucius, Russell, and Maddox as they made their way to the
restaurant.
Freya apanied Jamie to a corner of the restaurant where a variety of dishes were alreadyid out
on the table. The dishes were all specialties from Floravalea.
A skilled chef was busy preparing the ingredients at a nearby table.
Lucius frowned as he watched the chef expertly dissect a fish and turn it into thinly sliced raw fish. He
then threw the fish into a nearby water tank, leaving only the delicate fish bones, yet the fish was still
swimming in the tank.
Jamie seemed unfazed by this and had already started enjoying the thinly sliced raw fish in front of
him.
Lucius, however, felt a wave of nausea.
“This is a chef I specially invited from Floravalea. He’s a chef that won three Michelin stars.” Jamie
chuckled. “I was worried that you wouldn’t be ustomed to our usual food, so I arranged this special
meal for you. Why aren’t you eating?”
Lucius’ face turned pale, but he remained silent. On the other hand, Russell picked up a piece of thinly
sliced raw fish and slowly savored it.
Freya had eaten thinly sliced raw fish before, but never this “fresh.”
She also picked up a piece while suppressing her disgust.
Lucius furrowed his brow and began to say, “Miss Kaufmann-”
Freya discreetly pinched his arm under the table.
At this moment, they needed to conserve their energy and eat enough to have a chance of survival.
Freya suspected that Jamie wanted to assert his dominance by making them eat in this manner. After
finishing the meal, Jamie stood up and left.
The four of them were then escorted to a spacious room on the first floor.
Inside the room, various medical instruments used by doctors were neatly arranged. If Freya didn’t
know they were in Floravalea, she would have mistaken it for a doctor’s office at Caltun General
Hospital.
Finally, there were no guards in the room. Maddox copsed and rushed to Freya.
“Miss Kaufmann! What exactly is going on? Why have we been locked up here?!”
Freya lowered her gaze. “I’m sorry.”
She exined the situation little by little and omitted the part about the book.
“Jamie brought us here primarily to treat his brother’s stomach cancer. You all got involved because of
me. I’m truly sorry!”
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to the three of them.
Lucius furrowed his brow after listening. “How can you me yourself, Miss Kaufmann? This man has
twisted intentions. Couldn’t he have simply taken his brother to the hospital? Why resort to such
malicious methods?”
Russell sighed softly. “When I left home to receive the award this time, I told my wife I would be back in
a week. It seems I won’t be able to return for the time being, but Miss Kaufmann, who exactly is this Mr.
Fraser? His methods don’t seem ordinary; he doesn’t appear to be an ordinary criminal.”
Freya sighed deeply in her heart.
Of course, he was not ordinary. LEV was an international terrorist organization that had struck fear into
the hearts of many internationalw enforcement officers.
However, revealing this now would likely only increase their fear.
Freya pursed her lips and said, “Indeed, he’s not ordinary, but I don’t know the specifics. In any case,
we must work together in theing days to treat his brother’s illness.”
She nced at the guards standing not far from the door and lowered her voice. “Rest assured. If
there’s an opportunity, I will do everything I can to help the three of you escape!”
Maddox, who had remained silent, suddenly raised his head. His eyes behind the gold-rimmed sses
were filled with panic. “Escape? Is it even possible to escape? Miss Kaufmann, you know Mr. Fraser,
don’t you? I can see that his attitude toward you ispletely different! We were burdened because of
you, but I beg you! Can you please plead with him to let me go home!”
Maddox’s legs trembled as the fear consumed him. “I can’t study anything about stomach cancer in my
current state. I’m not even in this field of study. Even if he wants me, I’m useless, right? Miss
Kaufmann!”
Freya hesitated and found it difficult to speak. “He probably won’t let you go back.”
“Does he want to kill me then?”
He looked at her in horror. “Killing is against thew. Since I’m of no use to him, I promise I won’t report
to the police, okay?”
She lowered her head and felt guilty.
Maddox was being too optimistic. How could Jamie not dare to kill? Perhaps he had killed too many
people and didn’t care about Maddox’s life at all.
“I’m sorry, but he probably doesn’t care about thew.
Maddox was dumbfounded upon hearing this, and he understood what it meant.
He held his heart for a moment, then covered his face, A man in his thirties was crying.
Freya hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Maddox! Don’t worry. I will do everything I can to protect all of you,
even if it means sacrificing my own life.”
Lucius was about to say it wasn’t necessary, but Maddox, who was beside him, had already copsed.
“I just want to be safe. Even if you’re willing to sacrifice your life, can that guarantee my safety?”
She fell silent. The four of them remained in the office for a while. The atmosphere was heavy and
suffocating.
It was Russell who regained hisposure first. “I must leave here safely! My children are still waiting
for me, as is my wife!”
Among the three, he was the calmest. He stood up and looked at Freya. “Where is the patient? Let’s go
see his condition.”
Freya pursed her lips. “All of his medical records should be here.”
Since Jamie had already set up the doctor’s office, Edward’s information should be readily avable.
Freya nced at the desk not far away, where a thick stack of documents was ced. She walked
over and picked them up before confirming that they were Edward’s treatment records, including some
previous test results from the Caltun General Hospital.
Russell approached when he saw this and took the documents from Freya’s hand. The two of them
each. took half of the documents and carefully examined them.
Although Lucius was hot-blooded, he understood that now was not the time to be stubborn. Currently,
the only way to leave this ce might indeed be to cure that patient.
The three of them silently perused the documents. Maddox, who had been on the brink of a
breakdown, gradually regained hisposure after half an hour. He wiped away the tears on his face
and approached Lucius to retrieve the documents.
However, the more they read, the more disheartened they felt. Russell’s face was filled with concern.
“Advanced stomach cancer is already untreatable! ording to this patient’s medical records, it is in
the most advanced stage. He doesn’t have much time left!
Lucius nodded in agreement. “Indeed.”
Maddox trembled and looked up at Freya. “By the way, Miss Kaufmann, if we can’t cure this patient, will
that person allow us to return?”
Freya’s hand trembled slightly as she was unsure of how to respond to this already copsed man.

“I hope you will give it your all.”
That was already the answer.
