My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762

Harry grunted in acknowledgment. But still, he was terribly anxious.

At that, Genevieve couldn't help querying, “Are you averse to places that are too dark?”

Leaning against her back, Harry admitted uneasily, “I was once kidnapped when I was ten years old. They tossed me into a big iron bucket, and the air inside was very sparse... I was trapped there for a very long time. Later, fear struck me whenever I saw such big iron buckets, and I developed a dislike of dark places.”

Genevieve recalled that he was seemingly tense in the elevator when they went to a restaurant for a meal the day before, glancing at the elevator lights every so often. Meanwhile, Evan kept talking to divert his attention.

All, it turns out that he developed claustrophobia because of his kidnapping then.

Feeling distressed for him, Genevieve gently soothed him, murmuring, “That's already in the past. This time, I'm with you. As long as I'm alive, I'll never allow anything to happen to you. When the ransom has been paid, and they've released us, we'll go to Evan's house to have wagyu beef.”

“Okay.” Harry's breathing gradually relaxed.

Seeing that he was no longer that terrified, Genevieve urged him to help remove the hood on her head. When her eyes had adapted to the darkness, she saw that the shed was awfully small and even had a musty smell.

Thin air and sparse light slipped into the shed through the gap under the iron door.

Genevieve tried her best to speak of casual subjects to alleviate Harry's apprehension. As the two of them were chatting, the door suddenly swung open, and two men strutted in.

With the light streaming in, Harry could see the men who entered. His pupils constricted, and he buried his head in Genevieve's shoulder, his body trembling nonstop.

At his reaction, Genevieve reckoned that he was acquainted with either one of them.

Shortly after, she recognized one of the men as the renowned kidnapper in Xedells, Hans Ward. He once kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy businessman and demanded a ransom of five hundred million. Because of the wealthy businessman's hesitation, he chopped off three of his daughter's fingers.

Throughout the years, he had robbed banks besides kidnapping celebrities and children of wealthy people, committing dozens of crimes. Yet, no one could ever catch him.

Thus, it was no wonder that he dared to face Genevieve and Harry without concealing his face.

Hans had an amicable appearance and even wore a smile on his face, not at all looking like a vicious kidnapper.
