This time, the man who worked for Kim felt that Ryan was sincere to work with them this time.
On the island, the sea breeze in the morning was particularly fresh. The sunlight began to shine
through the transparent roof, and Anne groggily opened her eyes.
She felt a sudden pain in her belly. At first, she frowned, wondering if the baby was about to come out.
However, she relaxed once the pain receded.
"Do you want to come out?" Anne whispered, smiling at her belly.
"You've just got to hold on a little longer. Today, I am going to try to get us out of here," she said,
comforting the child and also calming herself.
What she was going to attempt was quite dangerous. If she succeeded then it would be all well and
fine. However, if she ended up failing then it meant death.
She put on her clothes and the servant entered the room.
"Miss, I'm going out. Do you want me to bring you something?" the servant asked, looking a little
anxious.
"Well, why do you seem to be in a hurry?" Anne asked, raising her eyebrows.
"That's because I only have twenty minutes. I would be very thankful if you would hurry up, Miss." If she
missed this opportunity, it would rise again only two months later.
The servant had been trained to adjust to the life confined to the island since she was young, hence
she didn't really yearn for a life outside. In spite of this, she enjoyed these occasional breaks from this
secluded area.
Hearing this, Anne flashed her an understanding smile. "Well, wait for two more minutes. I'll write down
what I need."
Taking out a pen, Anne wrote down the names of several cosmetics and handed them to the servant.
"That will be enough."
The servant took the paper and walked out without a word. Once she went out, Anne put on her clothes
and went out.
"Miss, do you have anything else that you need me to do?" the servant asked, noticing Anne was
following her.
"No, I just feel a little bored inside. I thought it would be nice to take a stroll outside," Anne lied. Since
the servant was in a hurry, she didn't dwell on her words. Instead, she headed to her destination.
After the servant left, Anne carefully followed her. Finally, she caught sight of a ship that stopped at the
back of the villa. It came out of the reservoir below the villa.
Making sure no one was around, Anne went straight into a container.
Anne's heart was thudding against her chest. She stayed in the container silently for about ten minutes,
but she felt like a century had passed.
Finally, the ship shook slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Her worries hadn't completely dissipated. From what she could remember, it would take hours. During
this period of time, a million things could go wrong. Sitting here, all she could do was pray that Kim
wouldn't catch her before the journey ended.
The sea breeze gently blew on the island. The scorching heat of the sun seemed to be slightly
weakened by the sea breeze. The scenery was beautiful. However, there was no one to appreciate it
here.
Kim stood beside the guardrail, recalling the words Anne had spoken to him Although he was unwilling
to admit it, he knew deep down that what Anne had said made sense.
She was taken away aback by his mother that day. He didn't know if anything had happened to her.
The more Kim dwelled on his thoughts, the more he worried.
'When did I start worrying about others?' he thought spitefully. And the worst part was, this woman was
his competitor's woman.
"Mr. Kim, something bad happened. That lady is missing." The servant, who was responsible for taking
care of Anne, rushed over, her voice quivering.
"What?" Kim frowned and his expression turned grave.
Anne, on the other hand, had spent hours on the ship. There was no light in the cabin.
Although Anne knew that it was far away from Kim's Island, her fear didn't completely disappear. As
time ticked, her fear intensified.
With a slight whirl, the ship stopped. Suddenly, she heard a gunshot. 'Did Kim find out I am here?' she
wondered.
Her heart began to race. However, soon, she realized that was not the case.
"Take me to Kim's place." A familiar and cold voice came. Without a doubt, Anne knew it belonged to
Ryan.
There was something about his tone that indicated he wasn't here to save her.
"Ryan, let me go. Our boss has promised that he will give you everything you want after it's done. Don't
you want Anne? Everything will be as you wish," another man said. Listening to their conversation,
Anne immediately understood everything.
As Anne expected, Ryan hadn't come to save her. He had joined hands with Kim to kidnap her.
At this moment, Anne breathed softly, but felt an excruciating pain in her belly.
She put her hands against her belly and pursed her lips. Even though she couldn't tell what was going
on, she understood the ship was heading back.
All her efforts were in vain. Anne was on the verge of collapse. Her belly began to ache and she knew
for sure she was in trouble.
On the island, Kim had already received the news.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was about to set.
Kim stood outside, facing the wind. His eyes were glued onto the ship that was coming from afar. He
knew that Ryan was inside. However, he didn't panic. After all, he wouldn't lose this battle. Ryan was
too stupid and anxious to ever win against him!
"Haven't you found her yet?" At this critical moment, Kim sneered instead of panicking. He wasn't afraid
to face a dangerous man like Ryan.
"No," the servant said, bracing herself for her boss's reprimand.
"Alright," Kim said casually. His reaction was quite unusual. It was both gentle and mysterious.
On the ship, Ryan squinted his eyes and caught sight of Kim.
The idea of killing Kim was brewing in his heart. He aimed his gun at Kim, but before he could shoot,
he felt something in his hand. The gun fell to the ground.
He had forgotten how powerful Kim was. He was a man who was often hunted down by people.
Everyone around Kim had been trained to protect him.
In a previous fight, Kim had caught a man off-guard and killed him when he least expected it. All in all,
it wasn't an easy task to kill Kim.
And now, gunshots were heard all over the sky. Many parts of the ship suffered from damage. It
definitely wasn't safe inside the ship. Ryan gritted his teeth and went straight into the hold.
Anne had been on the ship for more than ten hours. During this period, she hadn't received a morsel of
food or a drop of water.
Bereft of strength, she remained there limply. Anne gritted her teeth, willing herself to remain quiet. She
knew that the baby was finally going to be born.
She also knew that when she went back, what awaited her would be a horrible fate.
But for the sake of her child, she had to hold on. Just when she was suffering from such intense pain,
the door of the hold opened.
A flashlight was shining on her, and then the person who was holding the flashlight laughed wildly.
"Anne, you are definitely the best person in my life! I have kept thinking about you. And today, you will
let me win at this critical moment."
Ryan's ugly face made Anne feel sick to her stomach but there was nothing she could do.
As the night approached, Kim was still in his original position. He refused to move from where he was,
as if he was not afraid of death. In fact, he was just being confident that no one could take him down.
"Bring him here," Kim said indifferently.
As soon as he finished his words, Ryan came out. All the guns were aimed at Ryan, but he seemed to
not care.
"Kim, take a close look at her before you shoot." Ryan sneered because he believed Anne's
appearance would stop him.
If she died, Kim would get nothing.
"Let her go. If you do, I will spare your life," Kim said in a cold voice.
But Ryan paid no heed to it. He didn't want to live now. The only thing he wanted was for Kim to suffer.
If Anne died, Kevin would be in a lot of pain and Kim's plan would fail. This was exactly what he
wanted.
Thinking of this, Ryan laughed like a maniac.
"Ryan, if you want to live, I am going to help you," Anne said in an imploring tone. Anne hated him from
the core of her heart. However, she made a final attempt for the sake of her child.
Even if she couldn't live, she wanted her baby to be born.
"Shut up! Once you die, no one will have a good life! I don't mind dying if it means I am bringing
disappointment to all these people. It is worth it!" Ryan said enthusiastically. It looked like he had
completely lost his mind.
A sharp pain shot through Anne's body and she almost fainted. Using every ounce of energy she had,
she grabbed Ryan's injured arm.
He felt an excruciating pain. Having no choice, he let go of her. Once he did, gunshots began to get
fired at his direction.
Anne, lying on the ground, was completely unharmed. Ryan fell to the ground, but his eyes remained
open.
Anne had experienced something dangerous. It shook her to the core. And the worst part was, she
almost lost her baby. She could never get over this trauma. In spite of it all, she tried to relax. However,
the pain in her belly had exceeded her tolerance.
"Oh, my God! She has fainted." the servant cried out.
Kim's face was unreadable. The servants didn't know what would happen to Anne but they didn't dare
to question.
A moment later, Kim boarded the ship and carried Anne himself.
Although she was pregnant, he thought she was surprisingly light. She was unconscious yet her
protective hands were wrapped around her belly. He frowned, but deep down in his heart he was
stunned.
'How strong is her desire to protect the child!' he thought. She was definitely not a normal woman. She
was insane about her baby!
In the empty sterile room, the shadow light was on. Lying on a white bedspread, Anne looked even
paler.
After all the pain she had experienced, her lips had turned white. Seeing her in this unconscious state,
Kim felt disturbed.
"No, she has suffered a lot She is too weak. I don't think they will both survive," the doctor said frankly.
Hearing this, Kim took out his pistol from his pocket and said, "No matter what happens, save her and
the child! I want them both alive."
