Chapter 1745
Luna’s entire body froze when she heard this, as though she had been struck by lightning.
How could this…
Seeing that Luna was a little dubious, Theo quickly played the recording of the phone call with Gwen
“Please help me!” Gwen’s weak voice rang out from the other end of the line as soon as he pressed play. “Theo, please save me… I think I might die soon…
“Luke knew that I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, and even after seeing me bleed, he didn’t stop at all and instead left after tossing me two anti-bleeding tablets…
“I have no way of communicating with the outside world. I only managed to call you after the chef took pity on me and lent me her phone for a few minutes…
“I’m going to die soon… The guards said that without Luke’s orders, they weren’t allowed to release me, even if I’m about to die soon, and now they can’t get in touch with him at all.”
Suddenly, a man’s voice rang out, “Ms. Larson, you’re not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Hand me the phone right now!”
With that, the recording stopped.
Luna widened her eyes in shock, unable to believe how much Gwen had risked to call her for help
She bit her lip and glanced at Jim nervously. “Jim, I want to go back to Merchant City!”
Jim appeared far calmer as compared to Luna and Theo. He narrowed his eyes and said, “It takes four hours from Lincoln City to Merchant City. If your friend is really bleeding profusely, she’ll be dead by the time you arrive there in four hours.
“On top of that, she didn’t even tell you where she was being imprisoned, so how are we supposed to find her?
“Besides, even if we could somehow find her, how do you think we can rescue her? Do you know who Luke is? He’s the most powerful gang leader in Merchant City now, and everyone has to listen to him.
“If someone like this were to imprison a woman against her will, do you think the two of you o I even a severely weakened and restrained Landry family can save her?
