Chapter 388 Emilys Weakness (1/2)

The air was thick and tense. No one was promised the assurance of Beryl's safety. Jacob and Emily sat together, but both their minds were wandering off in many different directions all at once. If the kidnappers just wanted money, then Beryl's safety could be guaranteed. But if their target wasn't the ransom, then it would mean something else.

Both of Jacob's arms held Emily close and tried to give her all the support and comfort he could offer. ”No matter how much the ransom is, we will save Beryl's life,” Jacob reassured her.

As Jacob comforted Emily, he actually thought of another possibility. If the kidnappers didn't want the money, it could mean that they wanted to take revenge on him and Emily. If that was the case, then Beryl's life was definitely in danger.

Knowing that, he must find out the kidnappers' clues as soon as possible.

For every passing second that Beryl remains with the kidnappers, her life would always be in danger.

After a while, Emily and Jacob left their house and first went to the hospital to see Ina, who was being treated because she was poisoned by the kidnappers. When the couple arrived in her hospital room, Ina recalled what happened on that day for them. She was playing downstairs with Beryl, but she felt that something fishy was in the house, and immediately wanted to take Beryl back upstairs.

Ina was actually an expert in martial arts. The average person was no match for her at all. Because of her expertise, the Lu clan sent her to protect Emily and Beryl. However, even with her level of skill, her body couldn't overcome the power of the drug.

What happened was the kidnappers shot a poison needle when it was dark, and it stuck on her neck. As soon as the drug took effect, she instantly fell down and helplessly watched the kidnappers take Beryl away.

”Miss Lu, I'm so sorry. I didn't take good care of Beryl, It's all my fault…” Ina said apologetically, and her eyes were filled with regret. Remorse and guilt were written all over her face, as she blamed herself for Beryl's kidnapping.

”It's not your fault. Have a good rest,” Emily said. Even if Emily was still very much worried about Beryl, she suppressed her emotions and instead, comforted Ina.

The narration of Ina's side didn't really provide many clues. After bidding her get well soon, Emily and Jacob left the hospital and searched for Beryl high and low, all over the area by all means, but they still remained blank.

At this point, Emily was in no mood for anyone's company. Just as when she was about to contact the Lu family to ask for help, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call, and she felt that it was a bit strange.
