Chapter 640 Let Them Go


    "Yes! It''s me!" Christ smiled coldly, "Esther, I never go back on my word, and since you''re here, I''ll let


    the kid go. Come on, tie the bomb to Miss Price and let the kid go!"


    Esther was scared as she didn''t know what Christ was going to do, but seeing that it was him, she had


    an answer in her mind.


    Esther still didn''t rx until the men brought the child over and strapped the bomb to her.


    Lena hugged his son and whimpered, while Oscar stopped crying when he saw his mom and just


    leaned in his mom''s arms, sobbing obediently.


    Lena hugged her son tightly and looked at Esther worriedly.


    "Lena, I''m fine, don''t worry about me!" Esther nced at her calmly, then turned her gaze to Christ, but


    he had no intention of letting Lena leave.


    "Uncle Ball, let them go!"


    "Come on men, take them away! Release them in three days!" Christ said in a cold voice, "I will let


    them go, it''s just not the right time. Don''t worry, I won''t break my promise, they will be safe and sound!"


    Stunned, Esther turned her gaze guiltily to Lena, "Lena, I''m sorry for dragging you into this mess."


    Lena shook her head. She was not worried about herself, but about what might have happened to her


    son. However, when she saw Esther in this situation, she could only shake her head.


    Then Lena and her son were taken away.


    Subsequently, Christ took a picture of Esther with his phone, looked at his phone with a creepy smile


    on his lips, and sent the picture out.


    Across the ocean, in New York.


    Hudson received a photo, where Esther looked aghast and had a bomb strapped to her body.


    His heart skipped a beat and he panicked.


    "Hudson, what''s wrong?" Winnie noticed that something was wrong with his expression and


    immediately asked with concern.


    Hudson didn''t answer her but immediately called the number back.


    Christ answered the phone with a sneer.


    "Let her go!" There were only three words but with ultimate anger.


    "Let her go? How is that possible?" Christ sneered and said.


    "What the hell do you want?" Hudson''s heart fluttered. He stood dumbfounded, clutching the phone


    with his mind buzzing. Esther had been taken away by his dad, and he dared not imagine what would


    happen!


    "I want you toe back and hand over all the funds you have transferred out!"


    "Okay! I''ll do it right away; don''t you do anything rash. Give Esther the phone, I want to talk to her!"


    Hudson''s head was spinning. Today, everything had happened so unexpectedly that he simply couldn''t


    react.


    "Well! You can talk to her!" Christ smiled lightly, his eyes showing a treacherous look of determination


    to get what he wanted.


    From what he just said, Esther had learned that he was on the phone with Hudson.


    When the phone was ced next to her ear, Esther helloed softly.


    An anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the line, "Esther, it''s Hudson, is that you?"


    "Hudson! It''s me!" Esther''s eyes moistened instantly when she heard Hudson''s voiceing through


    the phone. It had been a long time since she heard his voice, his voice so distant that it sounded like it


    wasing from a distant ce, so indistinct, yet so real. It was Hudson, and in such a moment, she


    could feel his concern for her, and her heart was overwhelmed with warmth and guilt. "Hudson, I''m fine,


    don''t worry!"


    But when Winnie caught sight of Hudson''s anxiety, she could barely stand it.


    His worried and torn expression stung Winnie''s eyes. At this moment, her heart was so nk that she


    had no idea what she was supposed to feel!


    She knew he was trying to get over Esther, he was trying hard and they even had sex with each other


    numerous times. Although he was asionally distracted while embracing her, he was trying to y


    the role of a good husband. It was just that his heart wasn''t fully in her yet.


    "Esther, don''t worry, I won''t let anything happen to you!" Hudson assured her over the phone and


    couldn''t wait toe back to her right away. "I will work on the formalities for returning home


    immediately, don''t be afraid, Esther! Give him the phone!"


    "Hudson, you don''t have toe back!" Esther wanted to say something else, but the phone was


    abruptly taken away by Christ.


    He smiled coldly and said to Hudson, "You must transfer the money to my ount within twenty-four


    hours and you''re not allowed to inform Elijah or I will kill her!"


    "All right!" Hudson couldn''t risk Esther''s life. "I''ll get right on it!"


    He hung up the phone and saw Winnie''s heartbroken expression, which gave him a pause. But instead


    of making any exnation, he walked to the other room to make another call.


    She watched him keep busy with Esther''s affairs, making non-stop phone calls to transfer funds from


    his ount, even selling his fledglingpany. Such an expression on his face stung her eyes and


    tears rolled down her cheeks.


    She couldn''t think so much about it anymore and stood up from the couch. However, she stood up too


    hard and the corner of the coffee table hit her knee, causing severe pain in her knee. Her tears, not


    knowing if it was because of this pain, flowed even harder...


    She didn''t know what had happened, but looking at the worried look on Hudson''s face, her heart was


    overwhelmed with sadness!


    They had experienced the transition from marriage to divorce, and then from divorce to remarriage.


    She knew that everything was because of his so-called responsibility and he had no feelings for her.


    But when he resolutely took her away from G City, her heart still gradually rekindled the fire of hope,


    but she didn''t expect it to be so painful when the hope was extinguished...


    Bug she had tasted "pain" and "suffering" once again!


    An acute pain spilled out from her heart! Without thinking so much, she rushed into the study, "Hudson,


    what happened to Esther?"


    Hudson, who was working on hisputer, raised his gloomy eyes and said bluntly, "She was


    kidnapped by my dad and he wants me to transfer back the funds I have transferred!"


    It turned out that she had been kidnapped!


    "Does my brother know about it?" She asked.


    "No!"


    "I''ll call and tell him!" She said.


    "Don''t!" Hudson stopped her immediately. "He''ll kill her, I can''t take that chance!"


    "But my brother will be worried!"


    "I can''t care about that, get out! I''m busy!" His voice was cold!


    In his chilly voice, Winnie felt her heart shattered all over…


    Returning to her room, she didn''t take heed of Hudson''s words and dialled Elijah''s number. Elijah, who


    unexpectedly received the call, was a little stunned and also a little surprised. "Winnie, you finally called


    me!"


    "Brother—" Before the words were out of her mouth, Winnie had already choked out, "You go save


    Esther, she''s been kidnapped by Christ!"


    With a "bang", the door was opened.


    Hudson stormed in furiously. "Damn it, who gave you the permission to call?!"


    Winnie had seen such an angry expression on Hudson before. That day, when her Grandpa drugged


    him and he would rather cut his belly than have sex with her, he had the same expression on his face


    as he did now. Her phone was snatched by him and mmed hard on the ground.


    With a "p", a handprint was added to her face as Hudson yelled at her hysterically, "If anything


    happens to Esther, I''ll kill you!"


    To her dismay, she looked at him and felt herself freaking out slowly. Holding her head, she curled up


    on the bed in her bedroom. Even though she was in such a warm room, she was still shivering with


    cold…


    How absurd she was, how ridiculous she was. With trepidation, she watched her tears fall onto herp,


    drop by drop in a rush, soon staining her dress.


    Hudson was slightly stunned, rushed out of the bedroom, and started making phone calls again. In only


    twelve hours, he had transferred all the funds to Christ''s ount, so he made a phone call to tell him,


    "The money has been transferred to you, let Esther go!"


    Christ had checked that the funds had been fully transferred in, so he was emboldened to say to the


    other end of the phone, "Son, you''re still young topete with me. The only thing that will happen to


    Esther is death! I want you to live in regret for the rest of your life!"


    "You—" Hudson shuddered with rage, blood rushing straight to his brain and darkness before his eyes.


    He struggled to hold on, knowing he wouldn''t let Esther off the hook so easily.


    It urred to him that Winnie was right, maybe he should have called Elijah in the first ce. Now that


    he had put it off for so long, he wasn''t sure whether it would be toote.


    He called Elijah personally, but no one answered. He called countless times, but there was no answer


    at all.


    Then he called Ethel, and when the call was answered, Ethel''s voice came over the phone, "Brother,


    what''s up?"


    "Esther has been kidnapped by Dad and he''s going to kill her. You contact Elijah to save her right away,


    I''m going back now, I''m afraid it will be toote if it''s dyed any longer!"


    "What? I''m in New York now! How could this happen? Don''t worry, I''ll call him immediately, and I''ll also


    contact Philip, don''t worry!" Ethel hastily hung up the phone.


    Hudson turned around and was about to go out, but just as he reached the door, he heard a sorrowful


    shout behind him, "My brother will save Esther, and it''s toote for you to go back!"


    Hudson stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes, recalling the picture he had just seen of Esther with


    a bomb strapped to her body, his heart was twitching madly and tearing with pain.


    No, he had to go back! Esther was in trouble because of him, so he couldn''t go back!


    When his line of sight came in contact with the handprint on Winnie''s face, he faintly froze, and a trace


    of heartache shed under his eyes. Raising his head to look at the ceiling, he let out a sigh. "Sorry, I


    have to go back!"


    "Go back as you wish!" Winnie stopped struggling, all she could feel was her heart hurting so badly!


    Her face instantly paled, and she felt a twinge of pain in her lower body as a hot stream flowed out


    between her legs. These days, her period had beente for over ten days and she didn''t pay any


    attention to it, but she didn''t expect her stomach to suddenly be so painful.


    She stumbled and sat down on the couch, "Hudson, my stomach hurts!"

    Hudson nced at her; he couldn''t care anymore as Esther''s life was still uncertain. He had to go back,


    and if Esther died, he wouldn''t live alone. He couldn''t leave Esther alone.


    "I''m sorry!"


    Upon leaving these words, Hudson went straight to the airport.


    "Hudson—" Winnie called out to him hurriedly but failed to stop his hastily departing footsteps.


    Her stomach still hurt so much, it was a pain that could not be described in words and cramped her.


    This pain even involved her whole body, especially her belly and legs. The tearing pain made her dizzy


    and beads of sweat sprang from her forehead, followed by a cold sweat that invaded her whole body.
