Doris said Daniel is her boyfriend, and sheâs willing to go along with whatever they want if they spare him? Whatâs going on? When did Doris and Daniel become so close? Not only that, theyâre already seeing each other?! How havenât I the slightest clue?!
Waylonâs mind was flooded with countless thoughts in an instant, but this wasnât the time to dwell on these matters. If she was willing to be Danielâs girlfriend, so be it. He needed to rescue them first.
Even though this situation seemed to benefit him, it felt as if a lump of cotton was jammed in his heart.
He felt nothing but unbearable suffocation.
From the phone came Saithâs arrogant voice. âIâve got the woman, Mr. Raymond. When should we send her to your mansion for your enjoyment?â
Instantly, Waylonâs face turned pitch black.
Slap. Slap! He gave Raymond two slaps. âTell them not to harm those two!â
âSaith,â Raymond gasped. âIâm in Mr. Adelmarâs hands. Donât hurt that woman and the man, or weâre done. for!â
Saith fell silent.
Doris heard this and cried out into the phone, âMr. Adelmar, please save us!â
Waylon grabbed the phone and loudly said, âDoris, are you okay?â
Sob, sob⦠Doris cried plaintively. âIf it werenât for your call, Iâd be in trouble. Mr. Adelmar, I knew youâd save me.â Sob, sobâ¦
Waylon frowned. You knew Iâd save you? Isnât your boyfriend next to you? Why didnât you expect him to save you?
However, now wasnât the time to argue with Doris. He spoke with a calm voice, âDonât panic. Iâm here.
They wonât dare to harm you or Daniel. Iâll there soon.â
âDaniel got injured,â Doris sobbed. âHe had his leg broken while trying to save me. Mr. Adelmar, please hurry. Sob. Sob. Iâm scared.â
Daniel got his leg broken trying to save Doris? Waylon was surprised. The guy is surprisingly brave!â
âAlright, Iâm going to rescue you now. Donât be afraid!â
Waylon hung up and told Raymond, âTake me to them! One minute late, and you can get your casket ready.â
âYes, yes. Raymond nodded repeatedly. âIâll bring you to them right away. Please spare me!â
An hour later, Raymond led Waylon and Benjamin to a deserted warehouse, where they found Doris and Daniel. The ropes binding the two had been cut.
Upon seeing Waylon, Doris rushed into his arms, crying, âMr. Adelmar, youâve come! I thought I was going to die. I was so scared.â
Waylon was momentarily taken aback when she hugged him, but he soon pushed Doris away and said, âItâs okay; itâs all over now. Iâll take you and Daniel to the hospital!â
He knelt down and used a silver needle to treat Danielâs injured leg, stopping the bleeding and relieving. the pain.
Daniel spoke softly, âMr. Adelmar, thank you!â
âThank you for being with Doris,â Waylon told Daniel. âYouâve impressed me.â
âItâs what I should do,â Daniel replied, feeling both excited and happy to receive Waylonâs praise. âAs a man, I should protect women. Unfortunately, my strength is limited, and I could only do this much.â
âMr. Daniel,â Doris, with teary eyes, said, âyouâve already done very well. Thank you, really.â
An hour later, Doris and Daniel were taken to the hospital. After an examination, it was determined that Doris had only a few minor abrasions and would only require some ointment.
However, Danielâs injuries were more serious. He had a gash on his forehead and a broken left shin.
He needed immediate surgery.
During this time, Lily and her parents also arrived at the hospital. Doris tearfully recounted the events to them.
