"Miss Sally, get ready. We are leaving now." Martin looked like a chauffeur.
Sally didn't know much about Martin. But she knew that he was Oliver's friend and was relieved.
She had been too full in the restaurant and it was warm in the car. She leaned on the back seat comfortably. Soon she was sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Martin looked at Sally, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, thinking, 'She is so indiscreet. If she is kidnapped, she won't know it.'
Suddenly, he smiled slyly and turned to drive out of the city.
...
Jessica also drove out of the city that night.
She got out of GrandVille Apartments on the night of the first snow. The weather was poor in the early morning. She staggered in the snow and couldn't see a taxi along the road.
When she came out in a hurry, she didn't even bring a spare battery of her phone. Soon, her phone ran out of battery. She had to go to the nearest convenience store to charge it.
She knew that Oliver would find her soon by checking her phone records and the surveillance video of the convenience store, so she bought a new phone card.
When she came out of the convenience store, she didn't know who to call. The people she was currently in contact with knew Oliver. So Oliver would ask someone to pay special attention to them. Maybe she would be found before she arrived.
Oliver once whispered in her ear, "The more you want to escape from me, the more I won't let you go."
It was like a thunderbolt, which made her stop fancying him. They couldn't break up peacefully. She couldn't believe him, who was temperamental. She was afraid that she might be tortured to death before the appointed date.
Jessica walked in the snow. She couldn't move for her stomachache. She walked too fast to leave GrandVille Apartments and rested in the warm convenience store. And she left again. She was unable to hold on due to the change of temperature. She squatted down, covering her stomach and rolling in the snow in pain.
She took out the phone card she had just bought and put it in her cell phone. If she didn't ask for help, she would die in the snow. But she couldn't call an ambulance. Otherwise, her whereabouts would be exposed. She looked at the phone and called James without hesitation when she saw his name.
He answered the call after a long time.
Jessica could hear that he said irritably, "Who's that at this time?"
"Help me, James, help me."
James was just sleepy and was surprised by the familiar voice, "Jessica, what happened?"
"Please help me find a doctor, preferably a gynecologist. I'll explain later."
When James heard how weak she was, he guessed that she was probably sick. He asked, "Where are you now? I'll take you to the hospital first."
"I can't go to the hospital. I just need a doctor to check my body."
