Maxwell also noticed Christopher and Theodore. He quickly inquired, "Where's Everleigh? Why don't I see her?"
The two men did not answer, although the trepidation in their eyes was clear for all to see.
Finally, Christopher spoke up, "Dr. Harrison, Everleigh has something to take care of, which is why she isn't here to see you."
Maxwell was older and wiser, and although his eyes were not what they once were, he could see that there was something on their minds.
Everleigh had always treated him with respect. Now that he'd returned from abroad, she had no reason not to come and greet him.
"I see. Well, go back to your job." Maxwell walked in as if nothing had happened.
Christopher and Theodore didn't think too much of it. All they had in mind was the safety of the two women. When Maxwell went inside, he asked the nurse where Everleigh was.
The nurse told him that she didn't come to work at all.
Maxwell realized that something had happened.
By this time, Alexander had sent someone to find them. He had no idea where Everleigh had gone. Even if he had to turn Ocpeace City upside down, he had to find her.
At this time, as Everleigh watched the kidnappers eat and drink, she stealthily used her own tiny surgical blade and repeatedly sliced at the rope.
Since the last time she and Hansen had been kidnapped, she had been worried that history would repeat itself again, so she had purposely hidden a pocket knife inside her shoe.
This time, it came in handy.
Erine was sitting next to her. She was puzzled to see Everleigh staring at the kidnappers. She whispered and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Later, don't you move," Everleigh whispered softly so only the two of them could hear her words.
Erine did not move but sat quietly.
Everleigh could not see the back. She could only cut the rope by feeling, and there were already a few cuts on her hands, but she couldn't care too much.
She finally cut through the rope and secretly cut the rope for Erine. She didn't dare to make too much of a move.
Erine immediately understood and took the blade from Everleigh's hand. It would be quicker if she did it herself.
However, at this time, one of the kidnappers became drunk and his lust was aroused by Everleigh and Erine.
He turned his head and looked at those people. "Hey, what do you think will happen if we do something to her?"
When the others heard it, they were stunned, but it quickly became clear to them. "Forget it. If Mr. Godfrey knew about this, you'll be in trouble."
"If we've done it, will the others know? Besides, would they have the guts to say so?"
Everleigh and Erine were terrified, fearing that that would happen.
However, the person who had just suggested it had already stood up and was leering at the two of them. When he was about to rip their clothes off, Everleigh didn't even think about it when she felt the brick beside her and directly smashed it into his head, and blood poured out immediately.
Several other people were shocked by the scene, but they were more surprised that she had cut through the rope without them knowing.
"Run!" Everleigh shouted. She picked up the brick and brandished it in all directions, whether it hit the target or not. Erine followed her, picking up a brick and swinging it around.
The kidnappers dodged but did not let them go, as such a move for them was like a kid's play.
