Chapter 1709
However, Irvin had only said a few words. Obviously, they had not gained the upper hand, and Hendrix must have tried to resist. Still, it was not clear
who would emerge victorious in the end.
Just when I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard the sound of the old window cracking open, which scared me and woke me up immediately. I
nced towards the window.
Although this castle was well maintained, it was still old. When the wind blew at night, the window board would often drop, and you''d have to close it
manually. I had only been here three or four days, but this was already the third time.
I sighed, got up, and walked over, intending to close it.
I had barely taken two steps when I heard a scuffing noise. There seemed to be some movement outside the window.
Was it the wind, or was someone trying to break in?
I felt that it was strange, so I cautiously approached the window. When I was about half a step away from it, I stopped where I was, stood on my
tiptoes, and stretched out my neck to look outside.
All of a sudden, a hand appeared, grabbed onto the windowsill, and then pulled the rest of the body up. Then, the rest of the torso and legs slowly
emerged...
The man climbed on the wall with his back facing me. Because the candlelight was dim, I could only tell that it was a man from his figure, but intuition
told me that there was no malice from the man who was taking risks to see me at this critical moment. Therefore, I just watched all of this coolly. I''d
even prepared to cover for him if he was discovered
Soon, the man jumped into my roompletely. When he turned around, and I could see his face clearly, my eyes lit up. Without hesitation, I rushed
over and hugged him tightly.
"Hendrix, thank God you''re alright."
I''d been so afraid of hearing news about him, because if it came from Irvin, it wouldn''t be good news at all.
Hendrix''s tight muscles rxed instantly. He sighed deeply and held me tightly. "You''re impossible.”

Hendrix was very cautious. He crept to the door, leaned against it, and listened for a while. Then, after confirming that he had not been discovered, he
returned
"Hendrix,e here." I sat by the bed with theptop in my arms, and Hendrix eased in beside me.
I clicked on the video and ced theptop on Hendrix''sp. "This is our son. He has your nose.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
I had been looking forward to this for a long time. Although I''d imagined that Hendrix and our child would''ve met face to face, this was the best we
could do for now.

With Hendrix''s reassurance, I could finally feel at ease. However, when I''d thought of Irvin''s attitude, my heart tightened, and I asked solemnly, "Have
you been alright these few days? Is your family okay?"
Hendrix''s expression suddenly darkened and pushed me away. His gaze was as cold as ice, and his voice was emationless. "Now you''re worried.
Why didn''t you think about this when you were kidnapped?”

"That''s funny.” Hendrix did not give me a chance to finish speaking. Instead, he looked at me with a strange expression and said, "I thought you had
already regarded yourself as a man."
