Chapter 229


    The ck-d man, caught off guard by Esther’s unexpected resistance, swiftly ced Felix into her


    arms and approached the unconscious man to assess the situation.


    Esther quietly trailed behind him, gently asking, “Is he drunk?”


    Seizing the opportune moment, as the man was about to tend to the unconscious individual, Esther


    fiercely thrust the bone she held in her hand into the man’s pressure point. A groan escaped his lips as


    he crumpled to the ground.


    Swiftly, Esther retrieved stic zip ties from their bags and skillfully bound the hands and feet of both


    men. She ingeniously connected them together, buying them valuable time to make their escape.


    “Mommy, are you finished?” Felix whispered softly.


    Esther nodded reassuringly and grasped Felix’s hand as they exited the washroom. Spotting an old


    bed sheet in the distance, she twisted it into a makeshift rope, tying one end to the women’s washroom


    door and the other to the men’s washroom door.


    With that taskpleted, she led Felix by the hand, swiftly descending the stairs. It became evident to


    Esther that they were in an abandoned prison hospital that seemed to have been deserted for years.


    Dust covered the staircase, and spiderwebs adorned the walls.


    Guiding Felix into an open area overrun with tall weeds, Esther warily retreated, wary of hidden snakes


    lurking in the grass, Hastily, she made her way along the ground floor, heading toward the room


    housing the main entrance.


    “Felix, can you keep running?”


    After only a short sprint, Felix’s face reddened with exhaustion, having recently undergone a bone


    marrow transnt and with limited prior physical activity.


    Esther cast a concerned nce at Felix and, realizing his fatigue, lifted him into her arms. The mother


    and son continued their desperate run, with Felix’s sturdy physique making it challenging for Esther to


    carry him. Nheless, she pressed on, aware that stopping was not an option.


    She knew all too well that if the two ck-d men captured them, their fate would be unimaginably


    tragic.


    As Esther eavesdropped, she heard voices discussing a kidney extraction scheduled for the day.


    “Did you inform them about today’s kidney extraction?”

    Esther concealed herself in a room, partially opening the door to observe the corridor outside. She


    glimpsed individuals in ck attire, simr to those who had abducted her.


    “We’ve already informed them.”


    “Wait here. Once the person arrives, take them to the operating room.”


    “But Mr. Hoyer has reserved the operating room for a surgery today.”


    “What kind of surgery?”


    “It appears to be a heart surgery.”


    “As soon as the operating room bes avable, proceed immediately with the kidney extraction.


    We cannot afford to offend our benefactor.”


    “Understood.”


    Esther’s legs weakened, and she trembled slightly as she clutched Felix’s hand.


    These ck-d individuals were coborating, and those who had thrown her into the operating room


    intended to forcibly extract her heart.


    During the previous car ident, they had failed to obtain her heart. This time, they had kidnapped her


    directly, with the intention of extracting her heart forcefully.


    Esther listened intently, ensuring not to make any sudden movements that might draw the group’s


    attention outside. The consequences would be fatal.


    “Mommy, don’t be afraid.”
