Hester struggled to move her elbow, but the pain was not alleviated at all. She took a deep breath.
"Dear uncles, could you please let Auntie April and I move around? We've been kidnapped for a day and a night. You must have a purpose to kidnap us. If you make your chips go wrong before your goal was achieved, it is not worth it."
A childish voice suddenly sounded in the quiet air. If it weren't for the voice was too close to her, Hester wouldn't believe that it was said by the three-year-old child beside her.
She tightened her grip on Thomas, and a thin layer of sweat rose from her back. Since they had been brought here, no one had spoken to them. No matter how reasonable Thomas' words were, it was still very dangerous for them.
A hint of playfulness flashed across the man's face. He stood up from the sofa and his long body exuded a trace of noble temperament, which made people can't help but look at him.
The shadow lengthened on the ground and finally stopped in front of Hester and Thomas. He lifted the black cloth on Thomas' face and smiled.
"There are always many interesting things in the world."
Hester's heart skipped a beat. His voice was so clear that it wouldn't have achieved such an effect if he hadn't been standing in front of them.
"He is just a kid. Please don't make things difficult for him. What exactly do you want? Just tell me."
Staring at the child in front of him with burning eyes, the man's resolute lips raised slightly. His face was pale and a little morbid, which made his black eyes more and more beautiful.
"What's your name?"
"Thomas!"
Without fear, Thomas looked into his eyes and replied decisively. Feeling Hester's sweat, a hint of worry flashed through his eyes.
"If I answer your question, shouldn't you say something?"
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. Marvin covered his mouth with his hand and coughed slightly. He glanced at the people behind him and hinted them to untie the rope.
"It's rare to see a kid so calm after being tied up. I appreciate your courage. As a reward, I reluctantly agree to your request."
The sudden light made Hester uncomfortable. She closed her eyes for a while before she hurriedly held Thomas tightly in her arms. Then she looked up at the morbid face.
She didn't know how to face him at this moment.
She had imagined countless possible scenes in her mind, but she didn't expect that the kidnapper didn't know was such a weak patient.
"Auntie April, are you okay?"
Thomas raised his eyebrows and glared at Marvin with dissatisfaction. He held Hester's hand tightly and asked softly.
"Oh, I'm fine."
The drifting emotion was pulled back. Hester's face was slightly hot, and she was a little embarrassed. How could she be in a daze at the person who kidnapped her? It was really speechless.
"Ah!" With a scream, Hester had to put down her arms. Her face was wrinkled because of the pain.
"Auntie April, are you okay? Are you okay?"
Thomas looked at Hester anxiously and asked nervously. His father once said that mother was afraid of pain the most, which he had remembered for many years.
Although he didn't know how much pain his mother could endure, his arms were also sore and numb.
