Chapter 1015 Mrs. Callahan has an accident
"Mr. Alford, I will obediently follow you and never leave you again. Can you let Anthony go? If you continue to fight, both sides will lose and no one can get out of this island. Why bother?"
Sheldon had dark eyes and gritted his teeth, "Impossible!"
He wanted Anthony to die!
Jaqueline looked determined. "I hope you can change your mind after I die."
The gun resting on her head remained motionless, and Jaqueline flicked her fingertips lightly, as if she was about to pull the trigger.
"Jaqueline!" Sheldon was going crazy.
Losing Jaqueline for more than half a year, he lived in pain and one day seemed like a year. He was confessing every day, so he could not lose her again.
"Okay! I promise you I will let him go!"
Sheldon suppressed his anger and shouted, and all his men put down their guns.
If the confrontation continued, neither side can't get what they wanted. Anthony quit while he was ahead, and he also asked his bodyguards to withdraw their guns.
Jaqueline put the gun to her head, facing the direction of Sheldon's group. Then she escorted Anthony and his men onto the boat.
Before leaving, Anthony had a complicated look and said to her, "I'm sorry I'm not here for the reason you just said."
Jaqueline looked back at him in astonishment, but the big ship had already started. Anthony was standing on the deck, getting further and further away from her.
His face was dark, as if he was still talking.
But the wind was too strong on the coast, and the whistle of the big ship was in her ears. She could only see Anthony's mouth shape, but couldn't hear what Anthony was saying.
Didn't he come here because of Lyra and life-saving grace?
So what was he trying to do?
As the big ship drifted away, Jaqueline looked stunned and couldn't even see Anthony's face clearly.
A group of Sheldon's men came out from the reef.
Walking up to Jaqueline, Sheldon snatched the gun from her hand and slapped her backhand, "You're getting more and more capable. You've learn to threaten me with your own life!"
Jaqueline tilted her head, her expression was still in a state of loss, and she didn't respond for a long time.
Sheldon had just finished beating her, and when he saw her hurt expression, his heart ached again. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and stroked her face with one hand.
"It hurts?"
She didn't speak.
"Stay obediently by my side in the future. I won't let you do any dangerous missions. I don't care about you falling in love with Anthony, but the premise is that you have to forget him."
Jaqueline nodded obediently. Her eyes were indeed numb, without any light.
She was going back to live in the dark swamp again. A filthy person like her didn't deserve to miss Anthony anymore.
The big ship was moving forward on the endless sea, and Anthony sat on the board to watch the scenery.
Only then did he have time to take out his cell phone in his pocket, only to find that there was no signal.
On a small island with backward culture and technology, kerosene lamps were still used today, and even the electricity was not developed, so it was impossible to have a signal network.
When he looked at the time on the watch again, he knew he had been out for four days, and there were still six days before Mavis's due date.
Fortunately, there was no delay even if he came out.
Within two minutes, Kane put down the binoculars in his hand, walked out and reported to Anthony.
"Mr. Callahan, Sheldon Alford and a group of people also left in a big boat five minutes after we left. They took another waterway, heading towards the coast of the Crana border. We are heading towards the coast of Delta Union, so we will not meet each other temporarily."
"Great."
Anthony responded indifferently, closed his eyes and rested.
Kane stood aside and said slowly, "The main purpose of your trip here is to catch him by surprise, right?"
Anthony raised his eyes lightly, and gave him a cold glance, "It's not your business. Don't ask."
Sheldon regarded the Callahan family as an enemy. For Sheldon, the Callahan family was a thorn in his heart, and it was uncomfortable not to remove it.
It was the same for Anthony.
Keeping such an enemy was like a ticking time bomb. He didn't know when it will explode, killing the Callahan family.
Knowing that Sheldon was going to find Jaqueline, Anthony brought some people there, and the target was Sheldon.
And Jaqueline knew all the secrets of Sheldon's black industry. He wanted to ask Jaqueline some things, just to find out the secrets that can handle Sheldon.
By the way, after controlling Sheldon, he can take Jaqueline back and hand her over to Malcolm's National Investigation Bureau for interrogation, so as to find out Sheldon's violations of law and discipline over the years, as a favor.
If Malcolm's anti-crime case was solved, Chad will lead a team to arrest, and Sheldon will naturally be arrested by them.
In this way, for the Callahan family, the enemy was eliminated and the National Investigation Bureau was favored.
There were all benefits, to kill three birds with one stone.
But the plan failed this time because he underestimated the strength of Sheldon.
Even though Sheldon didn't bring many men to find Jaqueline, those people had been doing the cruel business, and they were stronger than his bodyguards.
Although there were more people than Sheldon's side, it was barely a tie.
No one had benefited.
As for Jaqueline, when she saved his life the first time, he knew it was a scheme, but the second time was true.
He originally thought that after she was sent to NIB, he would persuade Jaqueline to confess and apply to Malcolm for a commutation of sentence. And she would be a good girl after she was released from prison.
But Jaqueline was obviously unwilling.
Anthony sighed deeply, summing up his experience of fighting with Sheldon this time.
He rubbed his chest. Not knowing why, he inexplicably felt his chest tight and flustered, as if something important had happened.
He looked at his watch again, and calculated Mavis' due date again.
That was right that there were still six days left.
"The bodyguards who are injured today will be sent to the hospital as soon as the ship docks, and the medical expenses will be reported to the Finance Department of Callahan Group. The pension will be doubled. Remember to do it properly."
Kane nodded, "Don't worry. It will be handled properly."
Anthony hummed lightly, said nothing more, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
He was feeling flustered and maybe it was because he'd been on the road for a few days and hadn't had a good rest.
...
A few hours later, the big ship docked at the Delta Union coastal border.
The red sun reflected the sea surface as red as blood.
The setting sun sprinkled on the body, still warm.
Anthony set foot on the coast under the lead of a group of bodyguards.
The mobile phone had finally received the signal.
There were hundreds of missed calls, and so many message notifications that the phone seemed to exploded on the spot.
Anthony frowned handsomely, and opened the call log.
Lyra, Malcolm, Ella, and the bodyguards who stayed with Mavis at the hospital called him a lot.
His heart tightened suddenly, and he gasped for breath.
Just as he was about to call Lyra back, Kane suddenly ran towards him with panic on his face and staggering feet.
"Mr. Callahan! Something happened! Something happened to Mrs. Callahan!"
The bodyguards staying at the hospital, unable to get through to Anthony's phone, kept trying to contact Kane.
Kane just called back and found out what happened.
His eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked up, "Mr. Callahan, I received the news that the day before yesterday, Mrs. Callahan was shocked by lightning late at night, and was pushed into the delivery room. Mrs. Callahan she... she had a difficult labor..."
It was as if a string snapped in his brain, and his head buzzed.
Anthony couldn't catch what Kane said after that.
Mavis had a difficult labor?
How can it be…
He pinched his palm hard, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart that were about to get out of control, "Arrange a flight immediately!" He will go to the capital of Delta Union, go to the hospital!
