In the backseat of the Volvo, Spencer said to Ivan in a calm manner, “Don't mind me. No matter what, you have to get Jennifer out safely. After that, take her away. If I died, take it as I have repaid you for my mother.”
It was the first time he had ever spoken to Ivan with such solemnity. None of them had expected it would be farewell.
Just as he opened the door and was about to get out of the car, Ivan grabbed his arm.
Spencer looked back at him and their eyes met.
“You have to think straight,” Ivan said to him genuinely, “You have to stay alive. If you died, Jennifer will never be happy again.”
After hearing that, Spencer felt much better.
Was that so?
Would she care?
For a moment, the world seemed to have stopped running. Spencer felt both sad and moved.
He had a lot of words on his mind, but there was not enough time for him to say them.
Ivan said, “I don't want anything happen to her or you.” He felt heartbroken, but he was still trying to keep calm. “Let's act according to the circumstances.”
“What are you waiting for?” Hanson had lost his patience and was worried they might play tricks on him. “Come out now!”
The doors of the driver's seat and the back seat were opened at the same time.
Three men got out of the car. There was still plaster around Spencer's right arm.
Seeing this, Hanson couldn't help laughing. It was hilarious.
The three of them looked up at the second floor. Seeing Jennifer being held hostage and the knife against her throat, their hearts ached for her.
She seemed to have been tortured, her eyes were red and swollen with tears. Her hair was messy, so was her clothes. There were blood stains all over her.
Moreover, there was a towel stuffed in her mouth and she was shaking her head.
It was as if she was telling them to leave as soon as possible.
