Chapter 479 Save Them âWe have instructions to protect both her and the baby!â the chief yelled fiercely at the doctor.â
âHer heart isnât in a good condition. If we forcefully keep the baby, we might lose her instead...
the doctor said, clearly in a difficult spot.
The masked man next to him started to panic, and asked anxiously. âChief, what should we do?â
âWeâve b âWeâve been told that the key is her heart. The priority is to protect the woman, then the baby!â the chief eventually said.
The baby...
Melanieâs heart pounded hard in her chest before she went out cold.
Jeffrey took a flight to attend an important finance meeting. After the meeting ended, he hopped on another flight back to Medonia almost immediately. He promised her that he would be back tonight.
But when his plane landed, he received a call from a bodyguard from Morgan Group that the island where the research base was located caught fire. A group of armed men had abducted them all amidst the chaos.
Jeffreyâs breath caught in his chest as the image of a heavily pregnant Melanie running for her life flashed past his mind. He asked in a panic, âWhere is Melanie?â
âMrs. Morgan has been abducted too...
The bodyguard himself was injured too, and he gritted his teeth in pain through his reply to Jeffrey, âIâve informed the rest of the team to chase after them in a boat-
Jeffrey ended the call, a vicious look in his eyes as he instructed William to speed up on the road.
One hour later, they reached the island dock.
The sky was dark.
When Jeffrey rushed to the island, the fire had been put down, but all the vegetation around had been burnt to ashes. The place looked just like doomsday had fallen.
One of the bodyguards from Morgan Group rushed over to report about the situation.
âPresident, the masked menâs weapons and combat ability were very sophisticated. They have +15 BONOS conceal all their signals. We couldnât track them down yet.â
âThe map!â Jeffrey stretched his arm out, and William immediately handed him the map.
He unfolded it, and glanced through it quickly.
âWe found signs of the boatâs departure at this exit. After making some comparisons, we figured itâs probably the abductorsâ boat and not the boat we always use.â Jeffreyâs subordinate said, pointing at the west side of the island and said.
âThey set off in the west-
Jeffrey analyzed the situation through narrowed eyes. âThey want to leave the country.â
âTo Delfino?â William asked.
Jeffrey didnât answer him, but instead said, âGet in a boat and chase after them right away! Contact Delfinoâs sea customs. I know the director general. Ask them to stop all boats departing their harbor!â
âYes, sir!â William immediately rushed off to make arrangements.
Jeffrey sat in Morgan Groupâs boat and soon after, received a call from Nathan.
âJeffrey Morgan, where are you right now?â Nathan chuckled darkly.
âDid you abduct her?â Jeffrey cut straight to the chase.
âHer?â Nathan feigned ignorance.
Melanie was abducted, and Jeffrey couldnât remain as calm and composed as he usually was. He said with panic that he couldnât suppress, âDonât think that Iâm clueless about an armed force youâve been training in secret to do your every bidding! I know the base of the armed force is located right in Delfino!â
âThatâs right.â
To Jeffreyâs surprise, Nathan admitted it.
âI know you have great influence in Delfino. Since you suspect me, youâll surely stop me at the sea customs, right?â
âGood that you know. Release them right away!â Jeffrey bellowed.
âDonât worry, I wonât touch your woman. Iâll return her to you, but Iâm taking everyone else away!â Nathan started negotiating the terms. âBut I wonât return her to you for free. Allow Delfinoâs sea +15 BONOS âWhy should 17â
âBecause your wile and babyâs lives are in my hands!â Nathan sald viciously. âIf it werenât for me. your baby wouldâve been dead a long time agol If you keep bargaining with me, I might just lose my patience and kill them!â
The thought of Melanie being in bad shape made Jeffreyâs heart constrict. He clenched his fists.
âI can let the sea customs let you go, but I must first see Melanie and make sure sheâs fine. That is my bottom line!â Jeffrey said, tying his best to calm down and negotiate for as much as he could.
âIâll wait for you for two hours. Youâd better hurry up! And remember, you must come alone. Bring one more person with you, and Iâll kill one person here!â
Nathan hung up after shrieking.
Jeffreyâs brows knitted. âPrepare the boat. Iâll go by myself.â
âPresident, you shouldnât.â
William tried to stop him.
âItâs too dangerous. The moment Nathan drives his boat and takes you away from the harbor, we wonât be able to act fast and make arrangements in Delfino to guarantee your safety. How am I going to explain things to Mrs. Morgan and everyone in Morgan Group If anything untoward happens to you?â William said anxiously.
âYou have no need to explain anything. This is my decision.â
Jeffreyâs eyes dimmed as he looked at William putting together a team of bodyguards who would.
follow him to save those who were abducted.
He said darkly, âI can go alone. One more person might add to the chaos. Since Delfino is too big and difficult to make arrangements in, Iâll stay at the sea customs. I wonât let him take them away from there.â
William understood what Jeffrey meant, and instructed his men to prepare guns and a micro bugging device to be attached to Jeffrey.
âThe guns will be confiscated. And do you really think Nathan wonât notice these things?â
Jeffrey refused to have the bugging device, and simply chose a tiny weapon among the collection William prepared.
+15 BONOS As long as you make the necessary arrangements at the sea customs, Iâll think of a way to update you. Just wait patiently.â
With that. Jeffrey strode off and swiftly hopped onto the speedboat.
