Horace usually drove at 60 mph. But he knew that ra was in a hurry, so now he was doing 100 miles per hour.
But ra’s heart was beating faster than that.
The second they arrived at the bank, ra got off the car and rushed to the counter. After going through some procedures, she sessfully withdrew all the money in her ount. Fortunately, the Hutchinson family was VIP clients in this bank so the clerks didn’t ask too many questions.
“To Mercielo Vige.” ra eyed Horace, hoping that he would start the car quickly.
Horace knew he wouldn’t get any proper answer from ra right now, so he simply followed her instructions.
Unconditionally!
Although they were on their way now, no one knew what the kidnapper would do to Neo during this time.
ra nervously clenched her fists. Sweat dripped down from her forehead, but she couldn’t care less.
All she could think about was Neo. Neo was her only child. ra didn’t know how she could continue her life without him.
“What are you doing? Drive faster!” ra looked at Horace and roared angrily.
It was all because of this man! Five years ago, this man was going to kill his own child.
Now, Neo was kidnapped because of him. Even if she chose to leave him, he would still find a way to haunt her.
“If I hadn’t married Horace, although my life wouldn’t be as wealthy, I would still lead a mundane but peaceful existence.
Look at all this mess he drags me through right now!” ra thought.
“I can’t. We will get into an ident!” Horace knew it was urgent, but he couldn’t risk her life on this.
The traffic was chaotic because it was rush hour right now. Even if it wasn’t, speeding could still be very dangerous.
Horace would never put ra’s life in jeopardy. He would have taken the risk if ra wasn’t with him.
ra was sick of being stuck in traffic. She reached over and pressed the honk in an attempt to let people make way for them.
Horace originally thought that this wouldn’t work. To his surprise, the vehicles all voluntarily pulled aside and the road ahead instantly cleared up.
Seeing that, Horace stepped on the elerator and sped away.
They didn’te across any more traffic jams or other obstacles. They just kept driving.
Horace turned on the GPS, which would automatically navigate them to Mercielo Vige.
The vige was remote and rarely visited by people.
Most importantly, they were still pretty far away from their destination.
But Neo was there! ra eyed Horace and he immediately understood what she wanted to say. They got on the highway and drove much faster.
The closer they got to the destination, the more worried ra became. Seeing the frown on her face, Horace asked her what on earth happened.
To his disappointment, ra still kept her mouth shut.
All they could hear in the car was the howling wind against the windshield.
Horace didn’t want ra to suppress her feelings because he knew how bad it felt.
“ra, you know you can tell me about everything. Maybe I can helpe up with some ideas,”
Horace said softly. ra turned around and nced at him.
“There is nothing he can do now. Why bother?” ra thought to herself.
“ra, I’m the one to me for what happened five years ago. But can you not ignore me like this?” Horace knew what he did wrong five years ago.
He should have trusted her and protected her from any harm.
He knew there was nothing he could say to save their rtionship now. But he just didn’t want ra to exclude him like he was a total stranger.
“Five years ago…” Hearing that, ra stared at Horace nkly as if she remembered something.
“Yeah, five years ago.” Horace wondered why was ra so keen on that point in time.
What happened five years ago?
Horace searched in his memory. Did this matter have anything to do with what happened back then?Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Horace, why are you haunting us? You make our lives miserable!” ra punched Horace ceaselessly like crazy.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and got into her mouth.
She swallowed the salty tears.
“How I wish you never showed up in my life! Do you remember how you treated me five years ago? Why would youe back and find me? You never believed me, didn’t you?
Or do you want to hurt me all over again and break my heart into million pieces? You just want to see how screwed up I am because of you, right?”
ra spoke her heart out. With that, she fainted.
Hearing ra’s words, Horace pursed his lips solemnly.
“Sleep now. You’ve been so worried and nervous all the way. Get some rest so you will have the strength to power through the trouble that maye your way.”
Horace grabbed the nket in the back seat and covered ra with it.
In the next few hours of the ride, Horace kept thinking about ra’s words.
“Us?” He murmured, feeling that something was off about it.
“Who else is there except for ra? The person we are going to save?”
Horace raised his eyebrows and shook the thought out of his mind.
Looking at his crumpled suit in ra’s hands, he smiled helplessly. Then, he turned to look at ra. There were still tears on her face. His heart ached for her.
Who were they going to save? Who could make her worry so much?
With these two questions in mind, Horace stepped on the elerator, wanting to get to the destination faster and get to the bottom of it.
They were almost there.
Only a mile away.
Just when they were only a half mile from the destination, ra woke up. She checked the GPS and knew they were close.
As they approached the destination, ra’s heart beat faster and faster.
The closer she was to Mercielo Vige, the more worried ra was. She wanted to save Neo as soon as possible and hold him in her arms.
Five years ago, she suffered the pain of losing someone.
She never wanted to experience that again.
They were finally there!
Horace parked the car, walked over, and opened the door for ra as she was still deep in thought.
Waking up from her daze, ra got off the car and searched the surroundings. However, she didn’t find Neo. In fact, she didn’t see a soul.
ra panicked…
