Chapter 218
After hearing Sylvie's innocent remarks, Patricia couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I'll definitely poke him."
The man was so frightened that he broke out into cold sweats. Likewise, the expression on his face
became increasingly twisted in fear. Breathing heavily, he kept staring at the needle, for he feared that
it would get in contact with his skin. Both this woman and this child are really extraordinary. How can
they even discuss with each other about poking me under such a circumstance?
Suddenly, a trace of harsh countenance glimpsed across Blake's eyes. I have experienced too much
bloodshed in life. Regardless of how terrifying the scene is, I can withstand them all. So, I will not be
afraid of such a trivial threat today. As he thought of that, he curved the corners of his mouth into a
sinister smirk. We shall find out later if these two can make it out or not.
Patricia felt much safer knowing that those people in the house couldn't get out after the door was
locked. As long as we go downstairs and get into the car, I'll knock this man out before escaping and
finding our way home. Later, we'll move out of the house and live elsewhere. Patricia had everything
well planned out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Walk," she said coldly, as she pushed the man in front of her.
With that, the man took a step. One after another, the three of them went down the stairs in an
uncomfortable manner.
Patricia turned her head to look at Sylvie and exhorted, "Sylvie, be careful not to fall."
Since she didn't need to clutch Patricia's clothes anymore now, she walked downstairs cautiously.
When they arrived on the third floor, Patricia realized there were no lights on this section of the path,
and the surroundings were very dark.
Feeling afraid, Sylvie leaned to Patricia's side. "Tricia… it's so dark…"
After all, children are mostly afraid of the dark, especially little girls, who dislike the dark even more.
Patricia pursed her lips and wished she could hold her daughter's small hand to make her feel safe.
However, she couldn't do so now, for she had to control the man in front of her. Otherwise, it would be
difficult for them to leave.
All of a sudden, Sylvie screamed, "Ah!"
She missed her step and rolled down the stairs. Patricia was extremely freaked out. At once, she let go
of the man and called out Sylvie's name, "Sylvie… Sylvie…"
At this moment, Patricia was in utter despair. She didn't care if they could make it out or not anymore.
For now, all she hoped was that Sylvie was fine. Taking out her phone, Patricia turned on the flashlight.
She ran down the stairs to where Sylvie fell, and when she got to Sylvie, she saw that blood was
oozing out from the wound on Sylvie's forehead.
Patricia was scared to death. As she half-hugged Sylvie, she cried out, "S-Sylvie!"
However, Sylvie didn't respond. Seizing this opportunity, Blake took out his gun and pressed it against
Patricia's head.
"Dare to siege me, do you? Now, you will die!"
However, Patricia paid no attention to Blake's words at all. With tears raining down her cheeks, she
kept calling out to Sylvie. Yet, not once did Sylvie respond.
Suddenly, she raised her head and said, "Sylvie, I'll take you to the hospital."
With that, she immediately picked Sylvie up. Just as she was about to leave, Blake grabbed her.
"I forbid you to go."
Then, he dragged her upstairs. As Patricia watched blood dripping down Sylvie's forehead, she felt she
was about to go crazy.
"I want to take my daughter to the hospital. She's injured. Please."
However, no matter how much Patricia begged him, Blake didn't care, for he held no importance to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlives of those in his hands. All he wanted was money. Want to leave? Sure, you can leave only after
you pay off what you owe. As for the rest, I don't care!
"It's no use begging me. Now, go up."
As he spoke, he dragged her. In the meantime, despair was written all over Patricia's eyes. Right there
and then, she blamed herself for putting Sylvie in harm's way. Her heart was in immense pain, and she
trembled all over.
…
At the same time, several cars stopped outside the dilapidated residential building. Inside Isaac's car,
two little boys were busy with their laptops when Stellan suddenly said, "Scott, according to the tracker,
Sylvie and Mommy are here somewhere in that building."
Glancing at them lightly, Isaac thought, These two boys act even faster than the police. Then, with his
eyes squinted slightly, he said to the two boys, "Send me the address, and I'll send someone up to
rescue them right away."
Scott sent the address to Issac, who immediately sent it to his subordinates. 'Quickly head up and
rescue Miss Aniston and Sylvie.'
After sending the message, he pushed open the door and got out of the car, followed by Scott and
Stellan. Since these three men were worried sick about the two ladies, they just had to head up and
check on them in person. The three quickly made their way toward the old-looking building when they
saw Patricia running down with blood all over her while carrying Sylvie, whose face was covered with
blood, in her arms.
