Chapter 224 They Are Here

Elizabeth could not help but laugh when she heard Abby’s remark

“Okay, I’ll certainly poke him,” she said.

Samuel broke out in a cold sweat out of terror, and a grimace gradually formed on his face.

He breathed heavily and stared at the needle, fearing it would touch him.

Moreover, the woman and her daughter were unlike other people. Under such circumstances, they stilldiscussed whether or not to poke him.

Samuel’s gaze began to harden. People like him had been through many kinds of situations.

No matter how scary the situation got, he was able to tough it out. Therefore, he would not be afraid ofthe minor screw–up that happened on this day.

A wicked smile flashed across his face. Only time would tell whether the mother–daughter duo couldescape.

Once the door was locked, the people inside the building could not get out, and Elizabeth felt a lotsafer. The only thing left to do was to head downstairs and get inside the car.

Her plan was to subdue Samuel, head home, and relocate to another place.

She had already planned everything down to the last detail.

“Let’s go,” Elizabeth said sternly and nudged the man before her.

Samuel started to walk, and the three of them descended the stairs awkwardly.

Elizabeth turned to look at Abby and reminded her, “Be careful, Sweetheart. Don’t fall.”

At that moment, Abby did not have to tug at Elizabeth’s clothes anymore. She walked downstairs onher own cautiously.

When they reached the third floor, the stairwell was very dark due to the absence of lamps.

Abby inched closer to her mother fearfully and muttered, “It’s dark, Lizzy.

Children were afraid of the dark. Little girls, in particular, were even more reluctant to walk in thedarkness.

Elizabeth pursed her lips. She wanted to hold her daughter’s hand and give her a sense of security.

However, she must keep the man in front of her under control. Otherwise, it would be very difficult forthem to leave.

Abby screamed, “Ah…”

She missed a step and tumbled down the stairs. A horrified Elizabeth released her grip on Samuel andcalled Abby loudly

Chapter 224 They Are Here

“Abby Abby.

Abby

She felt hopeless at that point. As long as Abby was fine, it did not matter whether they managed toescape or not.

Elizabeth took out her phone and turned on the flashlight. She ran down the stairs and found Abbylying at the foot of the

staircase Blood was seeping out of her forehead.

Elizabeth was frightened and tried to hold her daughter up. “Abby… Abby…”

Unfortunately, Abby did not answer. Samuel took out his gun and pressed the muzzle againstElizabeth’s head.

“You’ll pay for holding me hostage!” he cried.

Teardrops streamed down Elizabeth’s cheeks as she kept calling Abby, but there was no responsefrom the latter.

She did not hear Samuel’s threats at all.

Suddenly, Elizabeth raised her head and said, “Abby, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

She carried Abby and was about to leave when Samuel grabbed hold of her and said, “You aren’t goinganywhere.”

Then, he dragged Elizabeth up the stairs as blood continued to trickle down the little girl’s forehead.Elizabeth was about

to throw a fit.

She pleaded, “I want to take my daughter to the hospital. She’s hurt. I beg of you.”

Still, Samuel was indifferent to her plight. The lives of his hostages were unimportant to him. All hecared about was

money.

The hostages were only allowed to leave once they had repaid their debts. He did not care aboutanything else.

“Pleading with me is useless. Go upstairs!” he ordered.

Samuel led Elizabeth upstairs by force. She was overwhelmed by a wave of hopelessness as sheblamed herself for Abby’s

situation Elizabeth felt really bad, and she quivered in sadness and anger.

A few cars were parked outside the dilapidated residential building Two boys were holding a laptopinside Matthew’s car.

Antony said. “Arthur, Abby’s GPS location is right here. The same goes for Mommy.”

Matthew glanced at the two boys coolly. These two kids are even faster than the police. Then, henarrowed his eyes and

ordered. “Send me the address. We’ll save them at once.”

Arthur sent the address to Matthew, who then sent it to his subordinates.

He texted: Go upstairs immediately and save Elizabeth and Abby.

After sending his message, he opened the door and got out of the car. Arthur and Antony followed suit.

The three of them were worried about the mother–daughter duo. Thus, they wanted to head upstairspersonally.
