Chapter 612 He Had Gone Insane

Max didn't know that Diego had killed so many people. He only thought Laura was scared because she had been kidnapped by him.

So he nodded and held her hand to comfort her.

He turned his head and said to Jim, "Take him away and call the police. Have the police hold him and I'll take care of it."

Jim nodded, "Yes."

Then they marched Diego away.

Diego tried to say something, but he was gagged by Jim.

Max then looked back at Laura again and asked with concern, "How do you feel? Are you hurt?"

Laura shook her head.

"I'm fine. He didn't hurt me."

Other than the discomfort caused by her hands and feet being tied for too long, there was indeed no injury on her body.

Max then breathed a sigh of relief and told the driver to drive back.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Laura's apartment.

Nicole had already received the news that Laura had been found.

She rushed over.

When she saw Laura in Max's arms coming this way, tears welled up in her eyes in a flash.

"Laura!"

She ran over quickly and hugged Laura.

She hadn't eaten for a whole day and had been tied up for so long. She was not hurt, but she was weak.

She stumbled. Luckily, Max held her up or she would have fallen.

She smiled helplessly, "It's okay. Don't worry. I'm back."

Nicole cried and put her arms around her.

"Laura, you scared me to death! I thought... I thought..."

Laura chuckled, "You thought you'd never see me again?"

Nicole cried louder.

Max frowned in disgust, resisted the urge to kick her away, and said in a cold voice, "Oh come on! That's enough!"

Nicole cowered in fear, let go of Laura, and look at Max timidly.

Laura gave Max a disgruntled look.

"Don't be so mean. You're scaring her."

Max snorted, bent down, picked up Laura in his arms, and walked inside.

Laura's feet were no longer numb. She didn't expect him to suddenly pick her up and was startled.

She subconsciously grabbed his shirt and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Max said coldly, "Can't you see that? Taking you home."

"I think I can walk."

"Oh, I'm well aware of that."

Laura was speechless.

She didn't know why he suddenly lost his temper, but she didn't say anything else.

They got into her apartment upstairs before Max put Laura down on the couch.

He turned to Nicole and said, "Draw her a bath and make something for her to eat. Take good care of her."

Nicole was afraid of him and didn't dare to say a word.

She just nodded.

Max then looked back at Laura.

He bent slightly and squatted down in front of her.

He took her hand and reassured her, "Don't be afraid. I'll have Jim guard the door outside. It's safe and no one would come in but me."

Laura frowned slightly and asked Max, "Where are you going?"

Max gave a smile.

"Are you worried about me?"

"I..."

Of course, she cared about him, but she didn't want to admit it.

She hesitated for a while before saying angrily, "Nonsense. I'm not."

Max just smiled. He knew she said that on purpose, so he didn't take it seriously.

He said in a low, gentle voice, "I'm going to the police station to provide some information. You should eat something and rest properly. They may come for you tomorrow. It's OK. I'll be with you all the time." Laura expected this and nodded.

Max added, "I've notified the press and the crew, so no one will know about this or Diego's identity. Don't worry."

Laura felt warm and grateful that he had arranged everything.

She nodded and said, "OK."

Max then stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, Laura suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait!"

Max stopped and looked back at her.

Laura stood up, walked up to him, and thought for a moment before saying, "I was held by Diego in a remote factory in the suburbs. He had several people with him. I don't know who they are but they were all killed by Diego. They are now in the basement there. You can tell the police and ask them to look for them."

Those people were not good.

But Laura didn't think they deserved to be killed.

And it would come to light sooner or later and they could solve it quickly if she told them earlier.

Diego didn't just kidnap her this time. He had gone insane. He would definitely be punished by the law.

Max was shocked.

"How many people are there?"

Laura frowned and recalled, "Four or five. I'm not sure. I can take you there if you want. I remember the way there."

Diego forced her to drive back.

So she learned the route by heart.

Max nodded and looked at her sadly.

He suddenly took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Laura was confused and looked up at him blankly as he let go.

However, Max didn't say anything and just kissed her on the lips.

Then he whispered, "Wait for me."

Laura nodded.

Then Max left.

Jim arrived with a group of people. He and two men stood guard outside Laura's door and there was a car downstairs.

The room was not big and she was absolutely safe.

In fact, Diego had been arrested, so she wouldn't be in danger anymore.

But Max was thoughtful and arranged this for her.

He was afraid that Diego's accomplices would retaliate against Laura when they learned that he had been arrested.

Plus, he wanted to reassure Laura. After all, she had just been kidnapped and needed someone to protect her now. Even if there was no real danger, it would at least make her feel safer.
