Chapter 872 It Is Impossible (1/2)

'No! No! That's impossible! My mom and dad would never get a divorce!' Dylan protested under his breath. He shook his head in denial splashing tiny teardrops from the corners of his clenched eyes. He didn't know what to believe. Perhaps they were lying to him; perhaps he had heard it wrong.

Despite their arguments which happened on rare occasions, Dylan knew that his parents would never choose to get a divorce. Their disagreements, at the very most, could be described as lovers' spats as they would leave behind no permanent consequences. The mere idea of a divorce was a foreign concept to Dylan and the thought that his parents would be getting one never once crossed his mind.

Dylan thrashed and struggled to get out of his captor's grasp. He wanted to rush to his dad immediately, look him in the eye and ask him whether it was true or not. He strongly believed that his father would never lie to him.

However, the man holding him was stronger than he looked. His unwavering stance was evidence that Dylan's efforts were all in vain. ”Hey, kid! Stay still and behave yourself! Do you want me to feed you to the sharks?” Dylan's captor didn't seem like the kind of man to make idle threats.

David immediately regretted speaking overzealously, as it encouraged Dylan to react brashly over this matter. Since the negotiations weren't completed yet, any minor incident could lead to total failure. David couldn't tell Dylan the truth for the sake of his safety. As he looked at the desperation in his son's face, David had no choice but to keep silent and hide the truth for the time being.

Dylan felt utterly desperate and pathetic for not being able to do anything. Although every fiber of his body wanted to fight back, there was very little he could do against the strong man. Suddenly, unable to accept his weakness, Dylan cried out in pain.

Selflessly taking all the blame upon himself, Dylan didn't want to be the reason why his parents ended up with a divorce. As any child his age would think, he felt as though he was the reason why the relationship of his parents had fallen apart.

”Listen! I don't have time for your useless drama! Look at how your son is crying like a poor helpless puppy! So what are you waiting for? I don't have all day! Give me the divorce papers if you want to see your son again!” the kidnapper threatened. There were only three things they needed to worry about at this moment: the money, the divorce papers, and their escape.

Watching Dylan in tears gave David a sudden realization of how important family was to him. He felt a strong urge to run to his son and hold him in his arms, to protect him from all of this, but he knew he couldn't.

Dylan must have believed what David had said to the kidnapper earlier. 'My silly son, I could never imagine a life without you and your mother in it. How could you fall for that lie? You will come to know the truth after I save you from this mess!'

”Here, take it! Now let my son go! Otherwise, I'll kill all of you! I mean it!” David shouted angrily.

He threw the divorce papers at the kidnapper's feet and locked him in a deadly glare.

The kidnapper grunted as he reached for the papers scattered on the floor and then gathered them in no particular order.
