Chapter 392 Dare You Say That Again (1/2)

Leona tried to puzzle out the complicated set of circumstances. She finally figured out that Jacob and Emily hadn't found their daughter yet. But then who was the child she had carried? Did she fetch the wrong child?

Her memory was a painful and confused blur, but she started to formulate a plan. She told Jacob and Emily, ”I know where your dearest daughter is. I can help you find her, only if you do something for me first.”

”Leona, how can you still think that you have the right to negotiate with us? Why should I believe that you know where she is?” Jacob pointed a gun at her head and stared down the barrel with hawk eyes. He tightened his grip on the trigger, wanting nothing more than to kill her where she lay.

Leona laughed heartily, ”Well. If you kill me, then you'll never know where your daughter is. I will take the secret with me to the grave.”

”Leona! What the hell do you want from us?”

Emily screamed at Leona. She was on the verge of a mental break, eaten alive by worry for her daughter who was everything to her.

From their worried expressions, Leona knew that she had won the wild gamble. So what if the child she had saved was not their daughter? As long as it provided her leverage to achieve her purpose, she didn't care what had happened to Beryl.

”Bring Magee here to see me. Then I will tell you where Beryl is. Otherwise, you will never see her again.”

Emily turned to Jacob, her eyes pleading, ”Jacob, I know you can do that, can't you?”

Jacob holstered the gun and took her hands firmly in his, replying with a soothing tone, ”Don't worry, I'll bring Magee here.”

Jacob then turned to the half-dead Leona lying mummified in the hospital sheets. ”If he comes here and you are lying, you will pay a heavy price,” he threatened ominously.

Leona tiredly repeated, ”Bring Magee here to see me. Then I will tell you where Beryl is immediately.”

Jacob guided the heartbroken Emily from the room. Using his cellular phone he called Magee to come to the hospital, but wisely left out the reason for wanting his presence.

About twenty minutes later, Magee arrived at the hospital.
