My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 190

On the way back, Eudora began to calculate in her mind whether she had enough money.

Over the past few years, she had saved a significant sum of money working abroad. Originally, she had planned to save it up for Juju. After a rough estimation, she decided that she had enough. She quickly headed to the bank to withdraw the money before it was closed.

It took her longer than usual to withdraw such a large sum of cash.

By the time she came out, it was already dark. Eudora was not in the mood to go home, so she went straight to Global Plaza with the money.

On the way, Eudora felt that there was a discomfort in her stomach, since she hadn't eaten anything since noon.

However, no matter how unwell she felt, she was not in the mood to eat.

After replaceing a place to sit in Global Plaza, Eudora looked at her mobile phone, waiting for the clock to turn eleven.

At the same time, Harley had already arranged everything. He came out of the police station and headed to meet up with Amos.

At this time, Amos was still at home, reading the newspaper.

Harley frowned and said, "Come on. Let's go to the Global Plaza and have a look."

"Wait, not just yet!" Amos said.

"What's wrong?" Harley frowned even harder. He was getting antsier and antsier as time passed.

"It's too conspicuous!"

The kidnapper was obviously coming for Eudora, but up until now, they hadn't revealed their true self. To think more in-depth, Eudora was not someone that was worthy of the kidnapper to go through all this hassle.

Therefore, Amos felt that there was something strange with this matter.

"Maybe they are watching us. If we go out, we will put Eudora in danger."

Harley nodded. He took a deep breath and plopped down on the couch. He took a magazine casually and flipped through it. Three seconds later, he put it down in disgust.

"Why are your magazines and papers all on finance? It's boring!"

Amos ignored him, but in all truthfulness, he was no better than Harley. He might look calm on the surface, but in fact, he had been staring at the same page for more than ten minutes.

Just then, Auntie Valerie came in and asked them, "Dinner is ready! Do you want to eat now?"

Amos frowned, "No thanks, you can prepare some soup and warm it up in the pot. Then, you can get off work!"

Auntie Valerie nodded and went to prepare. Harley looked at Amos with a sigh on his face. "Back in your glory days, you used to not remember to have food for days, now you actually know how to take care of yourself. Love really changes someone."

Amos ignored him and silently stared at the clock. When the needle finally pointed exactly at 10:30, he shot up from the couch and said, "Let's go!"

Eudora waited downstairs at Global Plaza for the time to arrive, and then she got up and went upstairs.

At this moment, the shopping mall downstairs was already closed. The whole building looked quiet and eerie.

Eudora took a deep breath and slowly climbed up a small staircase in the back. There was still plenty of time, so she didn't walk fast, and took every step as if it was her last.

She had thought about it clearly. She had to save Juju no matter what, even if she had to exchange her safety with her life.

At eleven o'clock, Eudora finally reached the highest floor of Global Plaza, the tallest building of Rosaville City. She stood on the platform and took a deep breath.

At a glance, there was no one on the platform. The wind was so strong that it blew her hair into a mess. Eudora, who had tried very hard to stay calm, was anxious again when she realized that no one was there.

She frowned, took a deep breath, and then took out her cell phone.

At the same time, the phone suddenly rang. The shrill ringtone was particularly loud in the quiet night.

Eudora hurriedly took out her mobile phone and said, "Hello!"

"You take orders really well. Now, take ten steps forward and stay right there."

Eudora did not know what the other party was going to do, but she had to first ensure Juju would not be harmed. She quickly asked, "Where's my daughter? If I don't see my daughter, I won't do it!" The other party laughed and said, "She's right here!"

Hearing the kidnapper's words, Eudora subconsciously looked around. The next second, at the corner of the empty space, a curtain opened. The little girl's mouth was taped and she was tied to a pillar. Her little body was shivering in the dark night. Eudora felt a pang in her heart and hurriedly shouted, "Juju!"

Juju wanted to call her name, but because her mouth was taped, she could only make vague sobs.

Although she may not earn as much, Eudora single-handedly brought Juju up and gave her the best of everything. When had Juju ever suffered such grievance? Eudora felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart with a knife, almost tearing her whole heart apart.

"Can you see her?" She heard the voice from the other end of the line again. Eudora immediately tensed up.

"Let go of my child!" Eudora gritted her teeth. "I'll do anything you want me to."

"I can't do that!" The kidnapper smiled. "You say that now because the child is still in my hands. If I let her go, you might run away with her! Now, listen to me and take ten steps forward."

Eudora had no choice but to follow the kidnapper's orders.

One step, two steps, three steps... Ten steps!

Eudora stood firm and said, "I'm here!"

"Very good!" The kidnapper smiled then said. "Now, turn left!"

Eudora frowned. Although the kidnapper had called her via the phone, they have not revealed themselves. Eudora felt that the kidnapper was just close by. She could almost feel that she was being stared at, and someone was watching her every move.

She suppressed the eerie feeling inside her and turned left again according to their orders.

Unexpectedly, the kidnapper issued another order again. "Take seven more steps forward!"

Eudora looked ahead and saw that it was the edge of the building. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can't take another seven steps forward!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I asked you to move, so move!"

After that, Juju suddenly cried behind her. Eudora looked over and saw that the rope that tied Juju suddenly moved and that her wrist was being tightened by the rope.

It so happened to be dark earlier, and Eudora was just focused on Juju just now. She couldn't see that she was being held by a rope. At the end of the rope was a small shed on the rooftop.

The kidnapper should be right behind the shed. She thought about it carefully and realized that the kidnapper was indeed a little strange. "Did the kidnapper deliberately lowered his voice?" Eudora said hurriedly, "Don't hurt my child, I'll do as you say!"

"You should have done that earlier! Now, move!"

Hearing this, Eudora quietly counted the number of steps in her head, then slowly took seven steps forward.

She so happened to arrive at the edge of the rooftop.

The edge was exposed. If she continued to move one step forward, she would fall straight down. There used to be an old railing, but it had been gone for a long time.

All she had to do was to stretch her head out, and she would be able to see the bustling traffic far down below. A gust of wind blew upwards, blowing up Eudora's hair and covering her eyes. Eudora felt a chill go down her spine. She hurriedly turned her head away and did not dare to glance downwards again.

"What the h*ll do you want me to do?"

The kidnapper sneered and said, "Jump down!"
