"Daddy!" The smile on Nicole's face disappeared when she saw the wounded Harry with blood on him.
She let out a fearful cry.
On hearing Nicole's cry of concern, Harry forgot all the pain he was feeling, looked up and a sunny
smile spread over his face. He said to her: "Good girl, Nicole! I'm okay. Daddy is here." He hugged her
tightly in his arms. As much as he was worried about his life, he was more anxious if Nicole was safe.
But in the next second, another shell penetrated his other shoulder. The sharp stinging ache made him
sweat profusely and he winced in pain.
The fighter jets did a barrel roll formation in the sky and started to descend to get an easier target on
the enemies. They spotted the location of the kidnappers and a fierce exchange of gun firing
commenced. Within seconds, the kidnappers were slaughtered on site.
Several special forces soldiers jumped out of the fighter jets. They parachuted into the sea and gently
took Nicole from Harry's arms. Noticing that Harry was heavily wounded, the soldiers took over and
helped him to swim to the shore.
It apparently happened that the special forces soldiers received a notice as they were patrolling in a
nearby location and immediately arrived to the scene with medics.
A dozen soldiers were sent out to search the ship to find Lola but found nothing and no one. Where did
Lola go? The question remained unanswered.
When Harry and Nicole were rescued to the shore, the medics were ready to provide first aid on them.
Landon warmly hugged Nicole as she stared at her pale-faced father, whose shoulder wounds were
being carefully attended to and dressed by the nurses.
"Nicole, do you know where your mommy is?", asked Landon in an obvious worried tone.
Nicole looked confused as she replied in soft, shivering voice, "The bad guy brought me here after he
took her away! She's with that guy!"
Harry heard her words and looked at her attentively, saying, "Do you still remember the route on your
way here?" He worried about Lola so much that he refused to be carried to the stretchers. Instead, he
pressed on his dressed wound to stop the bleeding and stood with great effort.
"Mr. Si, you need to be sent to the hospital right now for immediate surgery. We need to remove the
bullet shells inside you! Your body will be infected by the internal wounds!" The medics were shocked
when they saw Harry move. He had three shells inside his body and it would be considered an
imminent danger for him if those shells would not be removed in time.
He shook his hands and firmly said: "I will be dealing with it later. There are more important matters to
attend to."
... The doctors were speechless. How could he just ignore his own well-being like that? What gives him
the strength and guts to do that?
Nicole jumped hurriedly into Harry's arms, put her little hand in his face and lovingly looked up at him.
"Uncle, did it hurt?" She stared at the white gauze on his arms.
Harry shook his head. Desperately worried about Lola, he continued to ask Nicole the important
questions: "On your way here, did you actually see anything familiar, like some buildings? Or colorful
houses?"
Nicole thought for a while and then exclaimed, "Yes! I think I saw our villa through the peephole!"
Her words made Landon uneasy. He thought to himself, "Could it be her?"
Harry noticed the old man's unusual look. Just as he was about to ask him, his cellphone suddenly
rang.
Angie's extremely frantic voice spoke, "Tell Landon, Lola is in the hands of Lucy!"
Harry passed the message on to Landon. On hearing the news, Landon gazed into the deep dark sea
and released a sigh of great sorrow. This nightmare had just got worse.
They had sent numerous searching groups for Lola and Nicole. No wonder their efforts to search every
corner in A country has not produced any good result! All because the safest place was also the most
dangerous place!
"Let's head home!" He heavily stamped his walking stick on the deck and held tightly onto his pocket
watch.
Harry refused to be sent to hospital and insisted on going home with Landon. The medical team tried to
deny him of his absurd request but they couldn't do anything to stop him. They all hurried to the villa.
As soon as they arrived at the Li villa, the case was entirely cleared.
Nicole and Lola were kidnapped by Lola's aunt. Meanwhile, outside the other villa of the Li family, the
special forces soldiers already ready for combat.
The glass window of the balcony on the second floor was shattered to pieces. An elegantly-dressed
lady stood on the balcony with a cigarette in hand. She inhaled the smoke deeply and then elegantly
flicked away the ashes to the ground. Next to her was Lola, whose mouth was taped and hands tied
up. It was like a dramatic scene from a movie except that this was real.
Wearing a bold red lipstick and dark eye shadow, Lucy Wei looked wickedly dangerous. An evil smile
spread across her face, and Lucy looked at her sister-in-law with a smirk and said, "You actually have
the guts to ignore your own daughter? How dare you kill my guys just to save the life of a mere useless
child?"
With Nicole in her arms, Angie sternly shouted, "Lucy, I will give you the pocket watch. Now, let Lola
go!"
It was this woman who kidnapped Lola more than two decades ago. Landon had her locked up in this
villa and grounded her.
Harold's younger brother, Hilton, wanted to have a divorce with her due to this reason. But she never
agreed it. Later on, something else happened which caused Hilton to have a severe heart attack that
eventually killed him after a while. Poor Landon had to bid goodbye to his young son.
They had Lucy grounded for almost ten years. It never occurred to them that she was able to form her
own forces and hook up with some other dangerous guys. She has come back to take revenge. She
dared to plan an intelligent scheme to kidnap Lola and Nicole in order to get the heirloom-pocket watch.
On hearing Angie's words, Lucy grinned. "Fair enough, send the watch upstairs then."
Just as Angie was about to move upstairs, someone pulled on her sleeve.
With the pocket watch in his hand, Harry calmly said with overflowing mixed feelings of courage and
anxiety, "I will go."
Angie had mixed feelings about this. She gazed intently at his wounds and eventually replied, "No
need, I will go, Harry. You're in a very bad condition. She won't do anything to me."
Harry shook his head and abruptly cut her off. "The last thing I can do for her right now is to save her.
Please let me do that for her."
He needed to see her safe. Even if that is the last thing that he'll see in this cruel world.
Lola, who was trapped on the second floor, wept silently as she saw him walking towards her. Little did
they know that behind her stood a man taped with bombs all over his body! It would only be a split
second before all of them died!
Their eyes met and at that instance, Harry read Lola's thought that she did not want him here. Their
connection with each other was undeniable. He walked steadily into the gloomy villa.
He could hear footsteps following him.. He turned around and saw Jordan, Joseph and Zoe!
"Go back! This is too dangerous." Harry snapped at them as he frowned his eyebrows disapprovingly.
Lucy looked at them and was delighted. The more the merrier! She wanted them all to die.
"She is my sister!" Jordan ignored Harry's anger.
"She is my sister!" Joseph shivered but he still raised his head in bravery. He resembled Lola very
much. They were both fearless and selfless.
Harry forcefully pushed Joseph back. He did not want to bring him to danger.
He then turned to Jordan and tried his best to push him out as well.
As a last resort, he stared at Zoe and challenged him, "Shall I throw you out as well, or you prefer
walking out on your own?" Zoe did not mind his warning and dashed upstairs. He caught Harry off
guard. Harry became very furious.
The more people were involved, the more dangerous the situation would become! He slammed the
door close to isolate the Li brothers. Without further hesitation, he paced upstairs to the second floor.
Every room of the second floor was tightly shut. The gloomy corridor looked spooky and eerie.
The farthest room of the corridor was suddenly pushed open. Stepping out was a man with suspicious
objects covering his whole body.
Harry instantly knew what was coming...
Zoe and Harry cautiously stepped into the room.
The room had intimidating wallpapers with skeleton patterns. On the table next to the wall, there were
various vases with different body organs soaked in formalin inside. Among them was a pair of eyeballs
trapped in a small glass bottle, staring at them.
There were also human hearts and intact human heads with closed eyes. The room was really
terrifying.
Zoe felt like vomiting while Harry calmly approached Lucy.
Next to Lucy stood a well-suited man. As soon as he saw what was in Harry's hand, his eyes widened
with greed.
"I have the pocket watch you want. Now let Lola go!"
Harry slowly yet steadily raised his hand and let them take a look at the watch. All his heart was
screaming out for right now to bring Lola out of this mess. He could not see anything but her now.
Lucy stood and gracefully moved to the front. With a wicked grin on her face, she ordered the man,
"Untie the ropes around her."
