Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 59

"It seems to be... the sound of a helicopter." As he spoke, the scarred man looked up and saw the treetops swaying violently above them with the sound of the propeller. 

"Go and see if the police are here."

Isiah frowned. The boss had arranged the exchange at the Gefeag Wood Road. How was it that the police were able to pinpoint their exact location so quickly?

The man with the scar ran over to a clearing and checked the approaching helicopter with a pair of binoculars, and then ran back again, panting heavily. "It's a private helicopter, not the police."

"Don't let them ruin things. Put those two women in the helicopter and get out of here first."

Isiah looked at his watch. The boss and the police would arrive soon. It was time for them to set out for Gefeag Wood Road.

"Yes."

As soon as Luz and Mia finished eating, they were pushed into the helicopter. Luz's heart began to beat quickly as she watched the shipping containers they were held in getting covered by the trees again.

"Henry, their helicopter!"

Lucas pointed at an area where the air was agitated. Sure enough, a helicopter appeared from the dense forest.

Henry's jaw tightened and pursed his thin lips. He immediately picked up his binoculars to stare at the helicopter. His eyes narrowed.

"What's wrong?"

When Lucas saw that there was something wrong with his expression, there was also a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"She's injured."

He could see her pale face. Obviously, she was injured. When he thought of the blood on the back seat, his heart clenched.

"Don't worry. Maybe it's just a minor injury."

Lucas quickly comforted him, but it did not extinguish the anger and the frightening chill that exuded from his friend.

"Follow it."

The man who was driving the helicopter in front of him immediately changed their direction and followed the helicopter with Luz.

"Damn it, who are they?"

When he saw the other helicopter following them, Isiah frowned irritably. "Are you sure they are not the police?"

The man with the scar looked panicked, but he still nodded with certainty. "I'm sure it's not the police."

"Then who's that busybody?"

Luz peered out to see the source of Isiah's frustration. Somehow, she managed to see Henry's face in the helicopter following them.

Was she having a fever illusion due to the loss of blood and panic?

Henry should be with Emily, doing unspeakable things at the moment. Why would he be here?

"Isiah, I think I've seen that man on the TV. Henry something or other."

The man with the scar stared through the telescope was struggling to think of a complete name, but Isiah was stunned. "Henry Maynard?"

Why was he here?

Hearing the words "Henry" coming out of Isiah's mouth, Luz felt as if something had pricked her heart. She could not tell whether she was in pain or excited. What she saw just now was not an illusion. It was really Henry!
