Chapter 174 Guilt (1)
“Valerie, I’m fine, but it’s actually been hard on you. Did you get hurt anywhere?”
Calvin looked at the back of Valerie’s head, remembering when she was caught and knocked unconscious, fearing that something might go
wrong.
“I’m fine, Calvin. The bump on the back of my head has been treated with medicine. What’s wrong with you? You don’t look very well.”
The man inside the car continued to laugh crazily.
Valerie glanced at Calvin’s expression, waiting for him to speak.
“Valerie, your task has been completed, theoretically you can go back now, however…”
“Hahaha… The boss had already taken a liking to her, taken a liking to her, she couldn’t escape… couldn’t escape!”
The man in the car suddenly started to have a seizure, shouting loudly.
Valerie looked at the man inside the car, then her gaze shifted to Calvin, her eyes indicating that she still wanted to be involved in this
matter.
Calvin sighed.
“Valerie, today your task has been completed, and it was done very well. I originally wanted to let you go back and rest, but there is a situation now.”
After speaking, Calvin raised his hand and pointed at the man in the
car.
“According to what this man said, among the children rescued today, there should be some children who were targeted by them.”
Valerie’s face instantly turned pale.
When the trapped children were rescued, I watched from the side and some parents had already recognized their own children on the scene. Which child was it after all? Certain things on their bodies made this group of lunatics stare so intently.
“Calvin, there should be someone assigned to each child to protect their safety, so that not only can the children’s safety be ensured, but they can also be caught again. The man in question, who is referred to as the ‘boss’ by him, must hold a significant position.”
Calvin nodded solemnly as Valerie spoke, realizing that he had indeed been contemplating the same idea.
“You’re right, so Valerie, you…
I was about to say not to get involved, but when I turned to look at Valerie, those three words were still stuck in my throat.
Those shiny eyes, filled with the meaning of “let her participate,” left Calvin momentarily speechless.
Calvin paused for a few seconds, then smiled helplessly. When he chose to tell her, he had already anticipated her reaction.
“I will arrange it for you, you go back and rest well first.”
“Yes!”
Chapter 174 Guilt (2)
Seeing that Calvin did not reject her, Valerie’s smile became even brighter. Receiving Calvin’s permission, she happily bounced back to
the scene.
Carlo and Zoe were still in the same place, with very few injuries on their bodies, so they were arranged to wait behind an ambulance, while medical staff assisted other children first before attending to them.
The two of them watched Valerie busily running around, helping medical staff save children and assisting rescue workers in carefully carrying out the just rescued child.
Zoe clenched the blanket wrapped around her body and pursed her lips.
“What happened?”
Feeling Zoe’s low spirits beside him, Carlo turned his head and asked with concern. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“It’s nothing… I just felt so useless.”
Huh?
It was another one of those strange and ambiguous remarks that Carlo didn’t understand, and he furrowed his brow. But now that Zoe was feeling so down, he didn’t want to say anything either.
He could only grip the back of his head in frustration to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
As the crowd grew larger, among the many people, there was a man
wearing a duckbill hat who lowered the brim.
Quietly exited.
“Boss, the child was rescued. Should we continue to track?”
“The Horton family’s youngest daughter, as well as the missing daughter, both were captured by us. Don’t you agree? This could be a lucrative deal.”
“But the missing young lady, with extraordinary skills, seemed to have undergone training. If she is caught, she might escape again, just like today.”
The other side remained silent for a few seconds.
“Then keep a close eye on the smaller one.”
“Received…”
Hanging up the phone, a bald man with a long scar on his face sat in a luxurious office.
He sneered as he looked at Zoe’s photo on his phone and disdainfully turned off the screensaver.
“Miss Horton from the Horton family, why did you run out of the house alone? What an opportunity to take advantage of…”
In my mind, I had already imagined how much he had received from the Horton Group, ensuring a secure future for the rest of his life.
Zoe was completely targeted…
Zoe got into the police car and was escorted by the police officers to the police station.
“Zoe! Zoe! My dear daughter! Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
As early as when Zoe and Carlo ran to the nearest police station seeking help, the Horton family was notified, saying that she had been kidnapped by human traffickers.
