Chapter 721

Marilla’s phone was confiscated, and she was “invited” into the car.

A cold sweat soaked her trembling back; her slender, fragile frame curled pathetically next to Hans, her hands clutching a teddy bear, shaking uncontrollably.

Facing unknown dangers, she did not cry, make a fuss, or beg Hans to let her go. She sat quietly like a pretty doll at the mercy of others, which only made it harder to bear the thought of causing her too much pain.

Before leaving the mansion, Hans casually grabbed a couple of apples. He took a bite from one and then offered the other to the girl.

“Want some?” He asked.

Marilla slowly lifted her pale face, her soft lips tinged with white, delicate beads of sweat making her hair stick to her cheeks, her voice faint and weak, “Are you really sent by the Fairhaven group’s people to pick me up?”

Hans remained silent, taking the apple back.

“Are you going to kill me?”

Hans crunched into his apple.

“If your target is me, please don’t hurt Lily.”

Determination shimmered in Marilla’s eyes; the thought of saving Lily dispelled the crippling fear that felt like the sky was falling, “As long as Lily is safe, I won’t run. Even if it costs my life to exchange for Lily’s!”
