Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 361
“We only nagged her a little but why is she so angry that she won’t even pick up the phone? James, is it possible that something happened to her?” Helen asked worriedly. She had made a dozen calls to Demi but she didn’t answer any of them.
Frustrated, James yelled, “Ignore her! I’m her father so I’m only fulfilling my responsibility when I nagged her. How dare she hold a grudge against me?”
Helen glared at him angrily. “Stop saying nonsense. What good can come out from fighting with your children? You’re the elderly, so why can’t you just forgive her? Forget it, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Sasha, drive us to Demi’s house later so we can see if she’s okay!”
Sasha shook her head. “Mom, I’m waiting for news about Matthew. I’ll take you there once I receive news from him, okay?”
Helen was infuriated. “Why do you want to waste time waiting? You already know the results so there is no need to wait. I can directly tell you the result. Matthew will definitely lose. Furthermore, this time, he will lose tens of billions. It’s hard to say if he’ll even come back alive! Stop waiting for him!”
Hearing this, Sasha was furious. “Mom, how can you say that? Has Matthew ever offended you? How can you curse him?”
Helen sneered, “I’m not cursing him, I’m just stating the facts. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your father whether there is any hope for Matthew.”
James pursed his lips and said, “There’s no need to ask me. Anyone in their right mind knows that Matthew is hopeless.”
Sasha was so enraged that she didn’t want to continue the conversation. Just then, Helen’s phone rang and she answered the call.
“Hello, who is this?”
On the other side of the phone, a deep voice said, “You’ll receive a video later. Once you finish watching it, call me!”
As soon as he finished talking, he hung up the phone and Helen was confused.
“Who was that? Why is he asking me to watch a video out of the blue? Is he insane?”
As she mumbled, she unlocked her phone and saw that she indeed received a video.
Then, Helen clicked on it and after a single glance, she immediately yelled in horror, “Demi!”
James jumped up from his seat and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
With tears streaming down her face, Helen muttered, “See… See it for yourself…”
With that, James took the phone from her and when he saw the video, his face turned pale.
“What’s the matter?” Sasha walked over as well and after she took the phone and saw the video, a worried look appeared on her face.
The video was showing a huge dog cage, and there were two people locked inside it—Demi and Liam. At the start of the video, the two of them lay inside the cage, looking weak. Later, three huge wolfhounds entered the cage and barked at them. If the wolfhounds weren’t on leashes, they would’ve pounced on both Demi and Liam and bitten them to pieces. They could be seen huddled in the corner of the cage, shivering in fear.
Just then, a voice outside the cage sneered, “Lift your head up and say something to your parents!”
Demi looked up in a panic and she screamed as she begged, “Dad! Mom! Save me! Please save me—”
With that, the video ended and the frame froze on Demi’s panicked face.
“Wh-What is this? Where is Demi kept hostage? Why is she there?” Sasha asked anxiously.
With a teary voice, Helen said, “What should we do? What should we do? Hurry up and think of a way to save Demi!”
James frowned and in a serious tone, he asked, “Did the video come from the man who called you a moment ago? What did he say?”
It was then only Helen remembered. “Yes, he told me to call him after I finish watching the video.”
Anxious, James yelled, “Then hurry up and call him!”
Helen quickly dialed the number and soon, the call was connected and she could hear someone scoff. “Have you finished watching the video? Do you want your daughter to stay alive? Help me do one thing and I’ll free her!”
