"Actually, I don't know what I'm going to do. I just ... received an order telling me to stall you guys."
... When Sunny hears this, she feels a strong desire to catch the guy who has given the order and beat him up.
"Then can't you let us go?"
Speaking of this, the man shakes his head resolutely. "No. Other than this, anything else will be okay."
...
"Can you go to the supermarket and buy us something to eat? I'm hungry."
The driver was shocked.
However, maybe he is too confident in his skills. He takes a few ropes and ties them up before getting out of the car.
When that person gets out of the car, the three of them are silent for a long time before Sunny says, "Darling, can you help me untie this rope?"
...
However, after waiting for a long time, she doesn't get any reply. Sunny turns her head with confusion, only to see Kevin's mouth open in a daze.
"Are you all right?"
Hearing Sunny's voice again, Kevin regains his senses and closes his mouth, "I'm fine."
This is the first time Sunny has called him darling. Kevin doesn’t want to admit that he’s so happy that he’s dumbfounded!
This is the first time...
"Darling, what were you saying just now?"
"I say if you could help me untie the rope ... Let's flee."
Compared to Sunny who desires to escape, Kevin leans leisurely against the car door. "Have you told Troy?"
Sunny nods.
"Then we needn't escape. We'll just wait for them to come."
Sunny narrows her eyes, "Is this okay?"
Kevin smiles, "Do you think the person behind him wants to see us escape, or see us frightened to death?"
...
"There doesn't seem to be any difference between the two, right?"
Kevin nods, "So, we shouldn’t act like panicked mice. The more he wants to see, the more we can't show him."
As he speaks, he looks at a camera in the car and curls his lips in contempt.
"Interesting. This person is quite smart."
When the person in front of the monitor sees Kevin's provocative look, she is quite angry. But her subordinates see that she is quite excited as if it is diamond cut diamond.
Thus, they are praying for that person in their hearts.
"You guys, stop watching. Go help him."
The woman raises her chin and reveals a smile at the corner of her charming eyes. Under the gaze of her subordinates, she lights a cigarette.
"It's so boring ... Why has that person gone for so long... Why hasn't Troy come yet..."
Sunny is unable to move because her hands are tied back, so she sits down on the ground.
"Troy?"
For some reason, Kevin's face darkens when he hears this name.
"What's the matter?"
Sunny raises her head in confusion, not understanding why his expression suddenly changes.
Kevin holds back the jealousy. "You ... why don't you tell me about your life in the past few years? We have much time now."
Hearing this, Sunny freezes for a moment, and then she smiles, "Fine. I'll tell you."
She clears her throat and says, "At that time, the plane exploded ... I thought I was going to die ... I tried my best to protect Macie who was in my belly."
She speaks with some difficulty, and Macie, who is at the side, hears her mother talking about her and moves over to Sunny.
"When I fell, I was thinking that it would be great if I could fall into the sea. I could still swim. Fortunately, I really fell into the sea and was pushed to the shore."
"At that time, Troy and the others were not far from me. When I recovered consciousness, I thought that this might be the blessing of the heavens."
Because Sunny's hands have been tied, she changes her posture somewhat uncomfortably.
"The locals saved us. At that time, we didn't know where we were. We heard them talking but couldn't understand their words."
"And then?"
Kevin looks at Sunny who is low-spirited and doesn't even dare to speak loudly, afraid of disturbing her dreams.
Sunny stares blankly at a corner and continues, "Then ... then Troy and the others recovered consciousness first. Because Troy knew medicine, he asked the locals if they knew English and borrowed some medicine from them."
"The locals were very xenophobic. Although they were full of curiosity about people like us whose skin color is different from theirs, they hadn't taken us in. So, at the beginning, we spent the night in a temporary tent by the sea."
Hearing this, Kevin can imagine the scene at that time. His heart is racing in pain.
"You ... do you hate me?" He hesitates for a moment, but he still asks her with uncertainty in his heart.
Because Sunny has not answered for a long time, his heart is in his mouth. He looks up at Sunny, as if he is forcing her to give an answer.
