A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 640

"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 relax 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 glanced 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 to come 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 placed 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 voice coming through the phone. It had been a long time since she heard his voice, his voice so distant that it sounded like it was coming from a distant place, 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 blank 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 occasionally distracted while embracing her, he was trying to play 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 to come 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 to come 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 account 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 explanation, 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 account, even selling his fledgling company. 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!
