Chapter 1224
“It’s not like that!” Anne was startled and she lowered her head. “I don’t mean it that way…”
Did Anthony have no idea how scary he was?
His rough fingers caressed her face with a scar. “I asked you to take a rest, so you have to listen to me.
Alright?”
“But I miss the children very much…” Anne lifted her head, but when she met Anthony’s gaze, which
turned cold, her voice immediately stopped.
Anthony released her. “I’ll go get the food.” Then, he walked out of the room.
Anne curled on the bed hugging her legs and touching the scar on her face with one hand.
Was she not very ugly?
She felt she was very ugly when she looked at herself in the mirror.
However…why was Anthony still filled with a strong sense of possessiveness as before?
Anne’s sorrowful tears filled her eyes. She did not understand. She truly could not understand…
After they had dinner, Anthony left.
Anne no longer had chains on her hands.
She did not dare to leave on her own.
Anthony’s mind ran extremely deep and he was unpredictable. This might just be a trap that he had set
for her, and he was waiting for her to jump into it.
Anne walked toward the balcony. She leaned against the railing at the side, stood there, and stretched
her neck as she wanted to see if someone was in the apartment.
She did not dare to call out Lucas‘ name.
She was afraid Anthony would hear it.
Even if Anthony was not around, the deep–seated fear in her bones made her worried.
Lucas should have already left. Otherwise, what could he do if he stayed? She could not leave anyway.
Just as she was prepared to turn around and leave, she noticed the balcony had been cleaned.
Who cleaned it?
Anne thought it was Lucas.
She stood by the railing and looked down. It was very high up.
If Anthony did not catch her that day, she would have climbed up the railing and jumped down after
having an emotional meltdown.
Her body trembled when she recalled it.
She was in a state ofplete darkness at that moment, but she would still worry and could not be
calmed when she heard her child was missing.
She could not get out, but Anthony would certainly use all of his powers to search for
her.
She was his own flesh and blood.
The child who Anne was worried about was having especially loads of fun at that moment. She was
instructing John to catch the fish in the water.
“Here, here!” Chloe pointed happily at a certain ce in the water with her chubby finger.
John poked the sharpened stick in his hand into the water but he got nothing.
It was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed, so he threw the stick away. “Let’s go. Let’s find a ce
to stay. Otherwise, we’ll have to stay in the mountains after the
sun sets.”
“What will happen if we stay in the mountains?”

“You’ll be eaten by wolves at night.” John scared her.
As expected, Chloe did not dare to say anything anymore and her little face looked terrified. “Let’s hurry
up and go then! But the river is too deep. I want to ride a boat!”
“Boat? What boat?”
“I want to ride a boat!”
Just as John was about to reject her, he saw an abandoned styrofoam box not far away and thought of
a way.
He put Chloe inside the styrofoam box, and he found a piece of string. He then poked a hole at the top
of the styrofoam box, put the string through it, and pulled the
styrofoam box from the front.
Chloe was extremely happy. “This is my little boat! Let’s go!”
“Don’t simply move about or the boat will overturn.” John miserable pulled the string and walked
forward.
There was clearly a path to walk, but he had to pull this little princess around like that. He as a
kidnapper was truly a failure.
“I’m warning you. I still want to go and get my moneyter, and you’ll have to cooperate with me,” said
John.
Chloe was immersed in happiness and seemed like she did not hear John’s request at all.
John found a motel that was considered cheap, and then he brought Chloe to the
room.
