After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Danger (4) Save Him

Long after, Jimmy let go of Hannah. Hannah was too stunned to utter, "He got kidnapped! Who did that? Why did they take him away?"
"I don't know. My duty is to protect you." Jimmy remained indifferent.
Hannah was about to rush over. Before Jimmy could stop her, Theodore suddenly stood in her front from nowhere, "Come with me."
"Theodore, Thoth got kidnapped! We gotta help him." Hannah looked anxious.
"No, we can't. Oscar is our priority."
"Theodore!" Hannah looked a bit mad.
However, Theodore spared her no chance to continue. He made Jimmy take control of her and went back into the car. Then he took off the mask.
"Theodore, don't you think it's weird? Why did he get kidnapped? They just took him away in front us!" staring at him, Hannah found it hard to understand why he remained impassive.
"Nothing weird about it. He knew too much he shouldn't know. He will be killed."
"What?" Hannah was furious. She couldn't believe Theodore could be so cold-blooded.
"Jimmy, take us to somewhere else. The hospital is under guard. We will do it later." Theodore said to Jimmy.
Jimmy did as he told.
"Can we save him? Or at least we can notice the police."
"Hannah, are you being too stupid to find out? Do you think those drug dealers avoid being noticed just because they are careful enough to cover up themselves?" Theodore added impatiently.
Hannah paused for seconds. But soon, she realized what he meant.
"You finally got it." Theodore confirmed.
Not until then did she realize why Theodore had never noticed the police but to look for Oscar all by himself. She used to reckon that it was because he worried if those drug dealers would be alerted once the police got noticed. However, it turned out that the local police had been part of this game.
"Now even if you wanna leave, I am afraid you can't. Now we can't send you home. I need a hand. That's why Jimmy has to stay. So no one is gonna drive you home. And we can't let you go home alone. So you gotta stay with us."
"I didn't say I wanna leave. But I need you to save Thoth."
"If we save him, they will be alerted. If we fail to capture Jason tonight and leave as soon as possible, the local police will start paying attention to us. What happened to Thoth will then happen to us." Cold as always, Theodore didn't seem to care about Thoth's life.
"Theodore, I have no idea what you have experienced in the past. But I can't sit by while he's in danger. And, Thoth is Oscar's assistant. Oscar will be guilty of that if Thoth dies because of him." Hannah tried to convince him.
However, Theodore simply replied with a scornful smile. "I don't mean to speak ill of him. But he's way too much more cold-blooded than you ever expect."
"I will call the cops if you refuse to save Thoth! I mean it!"
"Hannah! You're getting us in trouble!" Theodore huffed seriously.
"I don't mean to bring you trouble. But I can't simply watch him dying unless it was Charles."
Of course, for those who had ever conspired against her, she would show no mercy. However, as for those innocent, she couldn't sit by. She couldn't be as cold-blooded as Charles. She still reserved the greatest humanity ever since she came back to life this time.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Theodore could tell how determined she was.
He finally compromised, "Jimmy, take us to Blue River."
Though Hannah didn't know where he referred to, she could tell that Theodore must be quite familiar with this place. As Theodore required, Jimmy drove them to a deserted area.
"Stay in the car." Said Theodore.
"Where are you going?" Hannah felt a bit frightened. She thought he was gonna do something dangerous.
"As you required, I am gonna bail him out." After that, Theodore walked away.
She watched his back fading away in the darkness.
Hannah was rendered nervous. She found herself being too rash when making that decision. Though she wanted to save Thoth, she didn't mean to risk Theodore's life. She couldn't afford to pay the price once something bad happened to Theodore.
Half an hour had passed. Both Hannah and Jimmy felt like it had been a century. Then, they saw someone appear in the darkness. She couldn't help holding her breath.
It was Theodore, who got drenched all over while carrying Thoth over his shoulder.
After putting Thoth onto the backseat, he hurried to say, "Jimmy, drive!"
Jimmy soon stepped on the gas.
Hannah took a look at Thoth, who was still trembling out of fear all over.
"What happened to him?" asked Hannah.
Theodore answered while drying his own hair with a towel, "He got dumped into the river with his feet tied by a stone. He's fine except for panic."
"How do you know?"
"It's a common mean among those drug dealers." He answered casually.
How did he know that much? She could tell Theodore must have planned for it.
"Ten minutes left, we gotta head to the hospital to continue with the action. But I will leave him alone even if you don't understand why."
"Okay." Hannah agreed. Theodore didn't expect that Hannah didn't intend to argue.
"Now he's safe. That's enough. Oscar should be our priority right now."
She had her own bottom line but she knew when to adjust it.
Hannah turned to look at Thoth, "Now you have been rescued. They may believe that you are dead. Now you should be safe. Going back to Kensbury is what you gotta do next. When you return home, don't call the police and wait for order."
Not until then did Thoth finally collect himself. He raised his head to look at Hannah.
"You are on your own." Said Hannah.
Thoth nodded.
Jimmy stopped the car halfway. Then Thoth got off the car himself. His body was still shivering. Never had he expected such horrible things to happen to himself. Jimmy hurried to step on the gas as soon as he got off.
They headed to the hospital.
Theodore put on that medical outfit again.
"Theodore, let me help you."
Theodore frowned upon hearing that.
"Trust me. Let me help you." Hannah insisted.
