Elaine looked back at the man in front of her and raised her chin. “You have to untie my hand, or how else should I eat?”

The man took out a knife after he heard what she said.

Elaine swallowed and closed her eyes tightly.

The next second, the rope on her wrists fell down.

Staring at her reddened wrists, she massaged them with her hands. Her nose itched.

The man said, “Miss James, you better not do anything naughty; otherwise you won’t even have food to eat in the future.”

Elaine said, “Aren’t you afraid...”

“You are just a hostage. As long as you are alive then it’s fine. You don't get to make demands. Be aware of that.”

After saying so, the man turned around and left. He locked the door again.

Elaine looked at the food in front of her, and sniffed. She took the chopsticks and started eating with big gulps.

While she was eating, her tears started running down and dropped on the rice.

She was wondering how Sherry and Caesar were doing.

Those people probably didn’t harm them, but Sherry lost a lot of blood...

When she thought of that, Elaine couldn’t bear it but started to cry out loud. The more she thought about it, the sadder she got and the more she blamed herself.

If it wasn’t her who was so naive, running away from Riverside City to come to City N, Sherry wouldn’t have gotten hurt trying to protect her.

And the baby in her tummy...

Nothing must happen to it.

After eating, Elaine tried to unlock the door, it wouldn’t open.

Then she went to the window. There were many men in black standing downstairs.

She wanted to run away, but that was impossible.

Elaine lost all hope, sat down on the bed and stared out of the window.
