Chapter 89
Skyler appeared to have been kidnapped as well, and Zayn stood coldly at the mountaintop. Clearly, he had come over here to rescue Skyler.
Both Skyler and Aaron were being pressed against the cliff by two burly men. All it would take was a little force, and they would be pushed down the steep
“Aaron!” Willow gazed deeply at Aaron, who was being pressed against the cliff by the two men. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. Aaron looked worn out, but thankfully there were no visible injuries on him. He probably had not suffered too much at the hands of the kidnappers. After all, he was just a three–and–a–half–year–old child. No matter how smart or mature he seemed, facing the ruthless kidnappers made him tremble with fear.
His little face displayed obvious terror. But when he saw Willow’s tears, all the fear on his face vanished. It was replaced by deep concern and anxiety, “Mom, don’t cry!” Aaron smiled slightly, making his little face look particularly cheerful “Mom, I’m fine. I’m not hurt at all. I’m really fine. Please don’t Cry, Mom
“I won’t cry,” Willow quickly reassured Aaron. She didn’t want him to worry.
Remembering the promises made by the kidnappers, she looked anxiously at them and spoke anxiously. “I’ve given you the money. Please release Aaron.
“Mr. Carter, have you made a decision? Who do you want to save? Him or her? The head of the kidnappers, Jett Hale, pointed at Aaron and then at Skyler as he addressed Zayn.
Willow’s face turned pale at those words. She yelled desperately at Jett, “Release Aaron now! You can’t go back on your word! You promised that you wouldn’t harm Aaron if I gave you to million dollars!”
Jett remained unruffled. “That’s right. I promised you that as long as you came up with 10 million dollars, I would ensure this kid’s safety. Look at how well he’s doing now. I haven’t harmed him in the slightest.
“I’ve merely left his fate in Mr. Carter’s hands. As long as he chooses to let him live, he can live a long and healthy life.”
Jett then asked, “Mr. Carter, who do you think deserves to die? The kid or the woman?” Jett grinned maliciously, filling Willow with such hatred that she wanted to smash his head.
“Release them “Zayn looked at Willow with a complex expression. He hadn’t expected that she truly needed the 10 million dollars to save Aaron.
She must have truly been desperate. Yet, he trampled on her dignity like that. At this thought, Zayn’s heart ached. But knowing that Willow had degraded herself to such an extent just to save this bastard, he felt an indescribable anger.
“Mr. Carter, as I said before, only one of them can live today.”
“Release them, and I’ll give you 100 million dollars. Zayn stared coldly at Jett, emitting a powerful presence that made the latter involuntarily take a stop back
But when he recalled what Skyler had instructed, he gritted his teeth and spoke. “Mr. Carter, I’ll count to three. If you can’t choose by then, they’ll both
die. One!”
“Zayn, save Aaron! Please save Aaron!”
Afraid that Zayn might sacrifice Aaron for Skyler, Willow choked up and pleaded, “Zayn, I didn’t lie to you. Aaron is really your child. The DNA test results were real
“He really is your son! You can’t let him die! Zayn, please, I’m begging you. Please save Aaron.”
