The man’s eyes widened. He had never expected that Madeline would outright kick him.
He yelped in pain and reflexively let go of his hand that held Jackson.
Madeline ran over with lightning speed and caught Jackson as he felled.
“Jack! ” Madeline held the little guy tightly into her arms.
“Mommy, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, ” Jackson said to calm Madeline down, knowing that his mother was worried about him.
Madeline, not bothering with those two men any further, held Jackson and was about to get into the car.
However, when she opened the door to get in the car, suddenly a black gun muzzle was pointed at the back of her head.
“Eveline, you have to come with us even if you don’t want to, ” the man behind her threatened.
Jackson’s clear, big eyes widened, staring at the man who threatened Madeline with a gun.
Nonetheless, Madeline did not fluster.
She raised her proud and beautiful eyes and calmly opened her lips.
“ If you have the guts, shoot me now. If you can’t, don’t block my way home.”
The man holding the gun had not expected Madeline to be completely fearless.
He had intended to threaten her, but now, he was the one flustered.
If they could not bring Madeline back, they would not be able to complete their mission.
If the mission were not completed, severe punishment would await them.
Upon seeing the lack of response and reaction in the two men, Madeline placed Jackson into the car. After closing the door, she turned around and faced the man who was still pointing the gun at her.
