Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Return Home to Rescue Norah Chase 2 

"It's impossible." 

Sam Perry stood up excitedly, looking at Norah Chase in disbelief. 

Norah went on to say, "All those things are true. Shawn Lawson and I are already divorced. Otherwise, how come he couldn’t repay the mere one million owed by my father when his family is extremely wealthy?" 

"So, it is no use at all kidnapping me." 

After saying that, Norah could feel her heart pounding heavily. 

She knew very well that she had no way out. 

If she couldn't save herself, she would have to wait for death. 

Therefore, she had to use some tricks to gradually break through their psychological defenses. 

If they realized that they couldn’t get anything by kidnapping her and she was just a burden to them, perhaps they would let her go. 

Although Norah knew that the likelihood of that was very, very low, what if it worked? 

As soon as she finished speaking those words, she had a palpable sense that the person named "Sam" began to hesitate and waver. 

However, right when she felt a glimmer of hope, Sam abruptly turned around and glared at her menacingly, saying, "Little girl, are you trying to play tricks with me? You're still too naive." 

"I don't care if you're divorced or not. As long as the Lawsons repays the money, I will let you go. But if they're unwilling to repay..." 

With his hand “slashed” towards her neck like a knife, he said, "Then I'll just kill you, wiping you out and pretending like nothing ever happened." 

Upon hearing that, Norah was genuinely panicking. 

The only way for her to save herself was blocked by them. 

Could it be that she could only wait here for death? 

The night was long. 

Norah’s hands and feet were bound to a pillar tightly. 

The ground was cold. 

She sat there, and her whole body grew cold and stiff. 

The pain in the back of her head intensified, and she remembered that her head had been slammed against the tea table by Kelvin Dulin when he snatched her phone. 

Even though there was no more bleeding, she still felt a lot of pain. 

Every time it hurt, she felt as if her head were splitting. 

Whenever that happened, she would lean against the pillar, breathing heavily to reduce her agony. 

The pain hit her once again. 

She reached out and grasped the straw on the ground so tightly that her hands were almost bloody and mangled. 

But it still couldn't compare to the pain she felt in her body. 

Her face was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. 

She didn't know when a bright moon had risen outside. 

Norah was stunned at the sight of it. 

How bright and fair the moon was! 

"Shawn, can you see that? The moon is so round and big. Can you see it from where you are?" 

When she thought of him, her heart was filled with longing and reluctance. 

And deep regret. 

She regretted not asking him who that woman on the phone was and not being a bit braver, a bit stronger. 

If she had been brave enough to ask the question that night, would everything have been different? 

“Shawn, you've been gone for a week already. Do you know how much I miss you?” 

“Shawn, do you miss me? Do you?” 

The more Norah thought about it, the sadder she felt. 

It felt like a breath stuck in her chest, making her extremely uncomfortable. 

Finally, at some point, Norah fell asleep. 

However, just as she was falling asleep, a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, drenching her completely. 

The bone-chilling cold woke Norah up instantly. 

She gritted her teeth, trembling uncontrollably, and said, "What do you want?" 

Sam looked at her with a cold smile and said, "It’s time to witness a miracle. Let's go to a place and see whether you will live or die today." 

"No, I won’t go," Norah resisted. 

Just as Norah was about to speak, her mouth was covered tightly. 

She struggled to say something. 

But she couldn't make any sound because those people covered her mouth tightly. 

Norah panicked, but all she could do was widening her eyes, looking anxiously at them. 

She heard Sam saying, "There are only ten minutes left. President Lawson, listen carefully to the sound I'm making." 

Then came the sound of Sam loading a gun. 

Shawn shouted angrily with his bloodshot eyes, "I'm warning you. I'm coming right away. If you dare to harm her even a little, I won't spare you." 

"Don't rush, President Lawson. It seems you're truly going to extreme lengths for the one you love. Oh, and just so you know, your wife is standing right on the edge of a bottomless abyss. If you couldn’t get here with your money in time, one slip of my hand might lead to a tragic end for her." 

"I’m warning you again. Do not touch her!" Shawn roared in a stern voice. 

"Ten minutes for you, President Lawson. Good luck!" 

After saying that, Sam hung up the phone. 

Shawn climbed up the mountain path frantically. 

Even though he was drenched in sweat and couldn't catch his breath from exhaustion, he didn't dare to stop. 

Because he knew that Norah was waiting for him there. 

If he couldn't get there in time, he would never see her again. 

Even if it meant pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion and death, he would still go and rescue her. 

"Norah, I'm coming." 

"Hang in there, please." 

Shawn was saying that to Norah and also to himself in his heart over and over again. 

Finally, he climbed the last slope and reached the mountaintop. 

When he saw that Norah was held standing at the edge of the cliff by two people and her clothes were tossed by the strong wind, all of Shawn's mental defenses collapsed in an instant. 

"Norah..." He shouted in anguish. 

"Shawn, is it really you?" 

Norah widened her eyes, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.
