Chapter 88 Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
“Don’t cry. Speak slowly,” Edwiin said. “You don’t remember which district the car came from, do you? Just think about it. Tell me the location and I’ll send someone there right away.”
Although he said that, he was extremely nervous.
His phone was always on. Because he was afraid that Suzanne wouldn’t be able to find him if something happened.
Unexpectedly, Edwiin had just gotten on the plane to Country I when he received a call from Suzanne before he even landed. After learning of her situation, he really wanted to get off the plane immediately.
Suzanne glanced around the dark, empty space. When she heard the wolf howls coming from afar, she became even more nervous and her voice trembled as she said, “I don’t remember. Edwiin, where are you……”
Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden silence.
Edwiin narrowed his eyes. When he heard no response from the other end of the line, he was so angry that he cursed. He pulled off his seatbelt and walked quickly to the driver’s seat, calling the domestic people.
Without waiting for the person on the other side to speak, he immediately ordered, “Ask someone to drive a helicopter to Cloud City to find her immediately. If Officer tries to intercept him, ask him to call me to confirm it. Immediately drive to Cloud City and prepare medical supplies and clothes!”
After hanging up the phone neatly, the stewardess stopped him.
“I’m sorry, sir. This is a forbidden area and you can’t go in and out at will. Please cooperate with me, thank you.”
Edwiin coldly glanced at the blonde beauty with fluent English and asked in a British accent, “How long before we arrive at Miranda Airport?”
“We still need to wait for another three hours.”
Edwiin tightened his grip on his phone and suppressed his anger. “Prepare a parachute for me.”
The stewardess was stunned. “Sir, our plane doesn’t allow it.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Either you’re ready to parachute, or I’ll throw you off.” Edwiin approached her with a murderous look in his eyes. His voice was cold to the extreme. “I want it now!”
Suzanne didn’t expect her phone to turn off automatically at this critical moment. Looking at the black screen, she wanted to complain but had no tears. She was annoyed that she didn’t charge her phone last night.
She had always been afraid of the dark. Looking at the darkness around her, she didn’t dare to leave. She just sat there with her arms around her knees, her eyes full of panic. She prayed in her heart that Edwiin would come as soon as possible.
She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes in fear not long after.
Not long after she fell asleep, Suzanne was woken up by the coldness of the night. She looked around uneasily at the quiet night. She hugged herself tightly and her body couldn’t stop trembling. She couldn’t help but think of the scary movie she had watched with Nancy earlier.
The more she thought about it, the more terrified the surrounding scene became.
Suzanne burst into tears. She had never suffered so much in her life like she did today.
When she was a child, she was protected, so she never knew what it meant to be bullied.
When she was in high school, Edwiin was about to graduate. The principal of the two schools were from the same family and lived in the same area, so every time she got off school, even if there was no driver to pick her up, Edwiin would send her home.
At that time of her senior high school, she didn’t like to spend much time with Edwiin. She was particularly afraid of his sharp eyes and silent character. She always sneaked out from the back door after school and went out to play before going home obediently.
Edwiin was always infuriated by her. Every time she went back, she had to stand for half an hour as punishment. Even when it was time for dinner, he wouldn’t allow her to eat. She had to wait until the punishment arrived.
Later on, Suzanne didn’t dare to run away from the back door. Edwiin was like a radar. Every time she slipped out of the back door, before she could stabilize herself in the comic shop, he would catch up with her and take her back with one hand.
Suzanne waited, waited, waited, and finally waited for Edwiin to graduate from high school. She had been excited for a few days then and felt that she was finally free, but she didn’t expect him to send a driver to guard her 24 hours a day.
By that time, Morrison’s Group had already gained a firm foothold in the country. It rose all the way to the top.
The pressure broke out. She ran out after having a big fight with Edwiin when Afra and Frederic were not around. Who knew that she had already been targeted by the kidnappers? If it were not for Edwiin, she would have been dragged into the car.
The two kidnappers were armed with guns. When they couldn’t drag her into the car, they directly shot him and then fled in a hurry under the pursuit of the guards.
At that time, after Edwiin was shot, Suzanne screamed and cried for the first time.
Several guards scrambled to carry him to the hospital. The blood kept flowing and wetting his clothes over and over again. Before he arrived at the hospital, he was already on the verge of death.
Afra and Frederic rushed over when they heard the news.
At that time, Suzanne had been a coward and hadn’t dared to reveal that she had run away on her own for fear of being beaten.
The shot on his shoulder took half a month to recuperate in the hospital, but he didn’t blame Suzanne. He was still as cold as ever, and she didn’t even bother to look at him when she visited him often.
From then on, Suzanne was especially obedient. She kept her word as if she was trying to make up for her mistakes.
Later, after recovering from his injury, Edwiin packed up his things and went to study abroad. He had been gone for several years. When he came back again, he had taken over Morrison’s Group. Suzanne had also entered university.
Thinking of the past, Suzanne felt a little upset.
If only she hadn’t quarreled with Edwiin at that time. He wouldn’t have been shot, and there wouldn’t have been such an ugly scar on his left shoulder.
In a daze, Suzanne seemed to hear the sound of turning.
She looked up and saw a light spot flashing in the night sky. It was getting closer and closer to her, and the sound was getting louder and louder. When she saw that the light spot was the fuel source of the helicopter, she stood up in surprise.
Unexpectedly, her legs went numb after sitting for too long, and she fell back down heavily. It hurt so much that she frowned.
Before the helicopter could stop steadily on the road, a slender shadowy figure jumped down from the helicopter. His voice carried a rare note of panic. “Suzanne.”
“Here.” Suzanne raised his arm and waved at him. She hadn’t eaten lunch and had been starving for almost an entire day. In addition, she hadn’t had a drop of water for a few hours, so her lips were almost purple from the cold. Even her voice was hoarse and very soft.
Her rose-red dress was bright in the dark of the night. The sharp-eyed Edwiin caught sight of her at first glance and hurried over. When he saw Suzanne’s pale face, he raised his eyebrows and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Suzanne felt that his weak body was about to break. Frowning, she whispered, “Edwiin, it hurts.”
Seeing that she was fine, Edwiin relaxed a lot. He held her face and kissed her gently on the forehead. His voice was calm and reassuring. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Suzanne sniffed and almost cried.
She didn’t expect that among so many people, the last person to come to her rescue was Edwiin who had quarreled with her not long ago.
