This time, the man who worked for Kim felt that Ryan was sincere to work with them this time.
On the island, the sea breeze in the morning was particularly fresh. The sunlight began to shine through the transparent roof, and Anne groggily opened her eyes.
She felt a sudden pain in her belly. At first, she frowned, wondering if the baby was about to come out. However, she relaxed once the pain receded.
"Do you want to come out?" Anne whispered, smiling at her belly.
"You've just got to hold on a little longer. Today, I am going to try to get us out of here," she said, comforting the child and also calming herself.
What she was going to attempt was quite dangerous. If she succeeded then it would be all well and fine. However, if she ended up failing then it meant death.
She put on her clothes and the servant entered the room.
"Miss, I'm going out. Do you want me to bring you something?" the servant asked, looking a little anxious.
"Well, why do you seem to be in a hurry?" Anne asked, raising her eyebrows.
"That's because I only have twenty minutes. I would be very thankful if you would hurry up, Miss." If she missed this opportunity, it would rise again only two months later.
The servant had been trained to adjust to the life confined to the island since she was young, hence she didn't really yearn for a life outside. In spite of this, she enjoyed these occasional breaks from this secluded area.
Hearing this, Anne flashed her an understanding smile. "Well, wait for two more minutes. I'll write down what I need."
Taking out a pen, Anne wrote down the names of several cosmetics and handed them to the servant. "That will be enough."
The servant took the paper and walked out without a word. Once she went out, Anne put on her clothes and went out.
"Miss, do you have anything else that you need me to do?" the servant asked, noticing Anne was following her.
"No, I just feel a little bored inside. I thought it would be nice to take a stroll outside," Anne lied. Since the servant was in a hurry, she didn't dwell on her words. Instead, she headed to her destination.
After the servant left, Anne carefully followed her. Finally, she caught sight of a ship that stopped at the back of the villa. It came out of the reservoir below the villa.
Making sure no one was around, Anne went straight into a container.
Anne's heart was thudding against her chest. She stayed in the container silently for about ten minutes, but she felt like a century had passed.
Finally, the ship shook slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Her worries hadn't completely dissipated. From what she could remember, it would take hours. During this period of time, a million things could go wrong. Sitting here, all she could do was pray that Kim wouldn't catch her before the journey ended.
The sea breeze gently blew on the island. The scorching heat of the sun seemed to be slightly weakened by the sea breeze. The scenery was beautiful. However, there was no one to appreciate it here.
Kim stood beside the guardrail, recalling the words Anne had spoken to him Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew deep down that what Anne had said made sense.
She was taken away aback by his mother that day. He didn't know if anything had happened to her. The more Kim dwelled on his thoughts, the more he worried.
'When did I start worrying about others?' he thought spitefully. And the worst part was, this woman was his competitor's woman.
"Mr. Kim, something bad happened. That lady is missing." The servant, who was responsible for taking care of Anne, rushed over, her voice quivering.
"What?" Kim frowned and his expression turned grave.
Anne, on the other hand, had spent hours on the ship. There was no light in the cabin.
Although Anne knew that it was far away from Kim's Island, her fear didn't completely disappear. As time ticked, her fear intensified.
With a slight whirl, the ship stopped. Suddenly, she heard a gunshot. 'Did Kim find out I am here?' she wondered.
Her heart began to race. However, soon, she realized that was not the case.
"Take me to Kim's place." A familiar and cold voice came. Without a doubt, Anne knew it belonged to Ryan.
There was something about his tone that indicated he wasn't here to save her.
"Ryan, let me go. Our boss has promised that he will give you everything you want after it's done. Don't you want Anne? Everything will be as you wish," another man said. Listening to their conversation, Anne immediately understood everything.
As Anne expected, Ryan hadn't come to save her. He had joined hands with Kim to kidnap her.
At this moment, Anne breathed softly, but felt an excruciating pain in her belly.
She put her hands against her belly and pursed her lips. Even though she couldn't tell what was going on, she understood the ship was heading back.
All her efforts were in vain. Anne was on the verge of collapse. Her belly began to ache and she knew for sure she was in trouble.
On the island, Kim had already received the news.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was about to set.
