Anderson swallowed, turned his face away, and fell silent.
Inside the tool cabinet, there was complete silence. Apart from occasional stern shouts from the men in black outside, the entire activity center seemed to be immersed in utter stillness.
Fair quietly hid inside the cabinet, feeling scared herself, tightly holding onto Anderson's arm.
Anderson didn't push her away.
The two young children embraced each other, comforting each other's fears.
As time passed, second by second, the sky outside gradually darkened.
Anderson felt a sense of confusion, not knowing what the next steps should be. He didn't even know if he could successfully escape today. But as a man, he tightly held onto Fair, deciding not to dwell on past matters with her. At least for today, in front of his eyes, he had to protect her.
In the midst of darkness, he opened his familiar mini computer, skillfully infiltrating the activity center's security system, connecting to all the smart devices, and making preparations. However, he didn't act rashly. He was waiting for his dad and mommy to send him a signal.
Outside the activity center,
Joyce, Luther, and the others were anxiously waiting for negotiations and formulating their action plan.
Justin couldn't be of much help, so he canceled his own plans for the day and stood aside, waiting.
Suddenly, Commander Zhao ran over, holding a wireless communication phone in his hand. He covered the microphone and lowered his voice as he said to Joyce, "Commander, our wireless communication has been invaded. The other party wants to talk to you. I suspect it's OGW's people."
Joyce frowned, could it be Cloud?
Darrin stood in front, "The other party's level isn't qualified to directly talk to the Commander. Let me take the call."
Commander Zhao hesitated for a moment.
Luther nodded, indicating his approval.
So, Commander Zhao handed the phone to Darrin.
Sure enough, the person calling was Cloud.
Darrin got straight to the point, "It's you, Cloud."
Cloud didn't deny it.
Darrin sneered, "We just received the letter you had someone send. Why are you so impatient? What kind of play are you staging now? Don't involve innocent people in our matters. Release them quickly."
Cloud casually replied, "This is just a warning. You have three days to hand over the blueprints. Otherwise, none of the hostages inside will survive."
"How long do you think you can control the people inside? It's not realistic. Release half of the hostages first, show some sincerity. Then we can discuss what comes next." Darrin gestured to Joyce, signaling them to expedite their actions.
"Fine. Release half of the hostages first. But I'm curious about one thing. Why were you all at the amusement park? Do you know anyone among the hostages?" Cloud suddenly asked.
As it was on speakerphone, Luther also heard it. His face darkened.
Darrin was taken aback. How could he not have thought that Cloud was so shrewd? The fact that they appeared so quickly at the amusement park could only mean that they were already inside, and if they came to the amusement park, they must have brought children with them. This was bad. If Cloud found out that Anderson was inside, it would be even more dangerous. He had underestimated this situation.
How should he respond? He was momentarily at a loss. But if he hesitated, it would only increase Cloud's suspicion.
Just then,
Justin suddenly shouted next to them, "Joyce, please help me think of a solution. We must rescue Fair."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
