Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 232

Anne's cheek stung. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him, "Don, what is this about? Did I do anything wrong again?"

"Were you the one who called the police?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

"I—" She faltered, but didn't deny it. "Yes, I was the one who called the police. What did I do wrong? I'm just worried about Giselle's safety!

"I heard Dad mention it to Mom last night. He said you guys were going to deal with the kidnappers at that bridge to rescue Giselle.

"And I've been worried about you, Don. I mean it. Even if I don't think of myself, I have to think of the child I'm carrying!

"So after debating with myself for one whole night, I chose to call the police. I thought since they were experienced and armed, they would've been capable of saving you guys. That's why I dialed 911…"

"How did you explain the situation in the call?" Donovan pressed.

It turned out that when Anne called the police, she had deliberately been vague. She never clearly said that Giselle had been kidnapped. Instead, she only mentioned a woman jumping into the river, which made the police dismiss the case.

They assumed it was nothing more than a routine civil matter. Driving to the scene without preparation, with sirens blaring, they alerted the kidnappers ahead of time. In the end, the criminals flew into a rage and killed the hostage.

"I… I…" Anne felt a stab of shame, but still tried to defend herself. "I was nervous when I called. I didn't know exactly what to say. My only goal was to get the police there to save her... I just didn't want you to get hurt.

"You were willing to risk your life to trade her. Do you think I could just sit by and do nothing? Everything I did was for you!"

In that moment, Donovan itched to beat the woman in front of him senseless. But reason held him back, and he slumped back down instead.
