Chapter 311 A Fellow Captive
It wasn’t much, just a piece of hard bread and a few bottles of mineral water.
She didn’t complain, taking it and giving it to the two little ones to eat first.

In this heavily polluted place, clean food was extremely rare, and mineral water was worth more than paper
money.

Hubert nodded. “I know, I’ll keep it a secret.”

“Of course. Believe me.”
len.
Having gained the man’s approval, they were given a small room with a broken wooden bed and a foul- smelling blanket.
It was much better than the basement.
The condition was that she had to safely deliver the pregnant woman’s baby.
Although she wasn’t a professional doctor, she could tell the pregnant woman was not in good condition. Her belly was so big, she was probably about to give birth.
She actually wasn’t confident.
But she didn’t want the children to worry.
“Satisfied? Can you go check on her situation now?”
“Okay.”
For safety, she didn’t leave the children in the room but brought them with her.
Just then, the pregnant woman woke up. She stared at the ceiling with numb eyes, not reacting to anyone who approached.
The man, however, had a rare trace of worry on his stern face.
Tatiana stepped forward to check. The woman glanced at her, her pupils contracted and a trace of surprise appeared on her numb face. Her bony hand shot out and gripped Tatiana’s wrist.
“Are you from Hindersville?”
Her local language was very rusty, as if she hadn’t spoken it in a long time.
Tatiana froze, only then noticing the black hair hidden under the woman’s headscarf.
“I am.”
The woman seemed agitated, struggling to sit up. “Is dad here to find me? I want to go home, right now! Where’s the plane? Where is it? Did he bring bodyguards?”

The woman belatedly realized something. She turned her head to look, met the man’s mocking gaze, and her heart instantly turned to ash.
“You’re not here to save me. You were kidnapped too.”
The woman lost all hope again, slumping back onto the bed, her eyes dim.
“I can’t go back…”
The man spoke up. “What are you two talking about? Nicole, you still haven’t g there’s a next time, I’ll break both your legs.”
The woman flinched and became more submissive.
up on escaping? If
Tatiana took the initiative to say, “Don’t frighten a pregnant woman. Her condition is very bad. If you want a safe, smooth delivery, you must ensure she’s in a good mood.”
“As long as you behave, I won’t do anything. This is my first child. I want it alive.”
With that, the man turned and left, leaving only a few subordinates to watch them.
Those men were all holding machine guns. There was no possibility of escape.
Tatiana wanted to chat with the woman to get more information, but ever since finding out she wasn’t her rescuer, the woman refused to say a word. She had no reaction, just lying on the bed, motionless.
Just when Tatiana was at a loss, Ann took the initiative to scoot closer, reaching out her small hand to hold the woman’s. She called out in her milky voice: “Let’s go home together.”
The child’s unique, soft voice caught the woman’s attention. She turned her head, looked at Ann, then at the hand holding hers, her eyes moved.
“Don’t give up, okay? My mommy is super capable!”
The woman was silent for a long time before finally speaking: “What’s your name?”
“My name is Ann. This is my mommy, and this is my little brother, Hubert.”
Hubert squeezed in too, revealing a smiling face. “I’m Hubert!”
The children’s smiles infected the woman. She was finally willing to speak. “My name isn’t Nicole. It’s Tri Nicole is the name that bastard gave me.”
Tatiana immediately added, “My name is Tatiana. How did you end up here?”
“Four years ago, I went abroad with my fiancé. He sold me here. I was bought by Astor and became one of his women.”
