A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 559

Even though they covered Renfrew's head, he could still hear their conversation. Not only that, but he also had a good sense of direction, so he knew that they were going downstream.

As he followed after them, he hoped that he could find the phone that he had thrown away.

With that thought in mind, Renfrew did not struggle and allowed Carter to carry him. Although Carter sensed that Renfrew was exceptionally quiet and well-behaved, he felt something was off. However, he soon shrugged off the feelings since Renfrew did not have anything on him at the moment.

After arriving at the factory according to the GPS, Hesper and Renee rushed in but found it in disarray. Apparently, the kidnapper had just left with Renfrew.

"How did they know we were coming? We were so close!" Hesper exclaimed. However, they were racing against time.

"This area is sparsely populated, so they can't have gone far. You go upstream to search while I'll go downstream to meet with Nathaniel. Let's message each other if we find Renfrew," she added.

"Okay, Ma'am."

Hesper sent a message to Nathaniel, telling him that the kidnapper had left and that they might encounter each other soon. She urged him to be careful, but she did not receive a response.

As darkness crept in and enveloped the sky in a shroud of black, Hesper felt a gnawing sense of worry clawing at her insides.

As the man took Renfrew from Carter's grasp, he held him like a puppy, almost weightless in his arms. Just moments ago, 013 had rendered Renfrew unconscious to prevent him from contacting Hesper. Now he was completely helpless.

Both 013 and Carter hung their heads, ashamed at the situation they found themselves in. They knew they had been outsmarted by a mere child. But they couldn't blame Renfrew entirely, as he had been coached by Myriade herself. The man's indulgence of Myriade had led to these embarrassing circumstances.

Of course, they couldn't voice such thoughts out loud. The man held Renfrew aloft, and in the dim, flickering light, his gaze fell upon the roiling river beside them.

"If something were to happen to Renfrew here, she wouldn't suspect me, would she?" he mused, his tone laced with uncertainty.
