Chapter 336 Life and Death
Lucia's eyes widened in shock as slic looked down at the sea. When she woke up just now, the sca was just
above her feet, but now, it was already upto lier calves.
At this rate, two hours later, she would be completely submerged in seawater.
The place where she was tied was on the ladder of a lighthouse far away from shore. Further up the ladder was
safe, but with the rising tide, the ladder would be submerged, and then she would drown. Realizing this terrible result, Lucia's body felt cold, she turned her head to look at the driver and asked through
gritted teeth, "What the hell do you want?" The driver laughed but didn't say anything. He gave a signal to his subordinate, who immediately understood
and handed him the phone with the recorded video.
The driver did not panic and tapped the screen, a moment later, he smiled and looked at Lucia and said, "You
still have hope to live, I give you a chance, you can make a phone call now." After Lucia heard those words, she frowned, and her felt more and more puzzled and confused. If they really wanted her dead, then why would they give her a chance to save herself? Before Lucia could get her mind around things, the man had already pointed the phone screen at her. "But, you
can only call him."
Lucia raised her eyes and when she saw the contact displayed on the screen, hier heart skipped a beat. Surprisingly, it was August! She gritted her teeth and looked at the driver. "What the hell do you want?" The driver smiled and said unhurriedly, "Do you want to make the call or not? You have three minutes to decide for yourself, if not, then you and the little baby in your womb will both be fed to the fish." After hearing those words, Lucia closed her eyes in pain. Despair, melancholy and sentimentality all arose in
her heart. She couldn't calm down at all. She wanted to live, she was just planning to start a new life, but now she had to face the choice of life and
death...
"So, are you going to make the call or not?"
Lucia gritted her teeth and said with determination, "I'll make the call." Even if it's for the sake of the child in her womb, she still had to fight to survive. The driver smiled, raised his hand and dialed the phone and put it to Lucia's ear. As she listened to the phone ring, Lucia closed her eyes in pain. Suddenly, the phone was connected, a man's voice sounded on the other end of the line. "Hello?" Lucia's body trembled, took a deep breath and said, "August..." Lucia's throat tightened, she paused, gritted her teeth and said the rest of the words, "Help me..."
The man on the other end obviously stalled for a moment, and soon, he spoke, "Where are you?"
Before Lucia was able to speak, the phone had been taken way, the driver moved sharply to hang up the phone,
and then send the video that was just taken.
Alter doing all this, he looked at Lucia, bis smile was cold and seeping. "Ms. Mitchell, you'll have to wait alone
from now on."
he raised his chinat his men, wlio immediately understood, started the speedboat, and turned around.
Lucia was startled and said in a hurry, "Don't go!" They left, were they going to leave her here alone? Lucia's voice was instantly blown away by the wind. She struggled hard but could not break free, and could
only watch the speedboat headed towards the coast.
Lucia's nose was sore, tears trickled down her face. Would there be someone coming to her rescue now? At the same time, on the main road of Austos City, a black car suddenly braked sharply. The tyres screeched
and it rubbed against the ground.
August, who was on the driver's seat furrowed his brows. He immediately pulled the car to the side of the road
and dialed the number that he had just received a call from. In a few seconds, a strange sound came from the other end of the line, and the call was hung up before it was
connected.
