Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1674

In the video, a little boy was held in the air by a man in black, who looked tall, strong and expressionless, with an automatic rifle in his hand. The man aimed the rifle at the little boy's head and they retreated all the way to the door.

A couple, who were suppressed by the other men in black to a corner, could only beg them to let their poor grandchild go sobbingly.

Unfortunately, their wish was not granted. Their grandson was taken away by the man in black and disappeared in the video.

The husband suffered an asthma attack as he saw this, while the wife fainted onto the ground after letting out a scream with her face full of tears.

"Okay, cut."

It was not until a sound came out that the saddening scene changed. The couple who had been under control were carefully supported by the men in black from the ground.

The huge guy, who had pointed a gun at the little fellow's head, even smiled at him kindly as he put him back on the ground.

While Owen was conversing with his colleague, who was in charge of shooting the 'kidnapping' scene, "Remember to delete my voice saying 'cut' when you work at it."

"Got it."

After giving all possible instructions, Owen walked towards Ryan.

Ryan stopped wiping Ruth's tears and asked eagerly as he saw Owen was coming over, "Officer Hopper, did we act well?"

Owen glanced at Ruth's red and swollen eyes, and said sincerely, "You did great, even I couldn't help but feel like breaking in to save you."

His words had completely eased the originally gloomy atmosphere.

After all, the 'kidnapping' video could not be simply done. It had been adjusted almost ten times. Every time the man in black pointed the gun at Abner's head, both Ryan and Ruth would feel their hearts skip a beat for fear of the gun truly fired or that it would cause a trauma towards Abner.

Obviously, Owen had also noticed it. As a policeman, he would always spend a certain amount of time to comfort the hostages after rescuing the them.

And he would do the same for the moment. Even if it was just an act, it was still necessary to conduct Abner considering his young age.

"Abner." He squatted down in front of Abner to have his soft eyes meet Abner's. "Shall you be greatly frightened?"

Under Ryan and Ruth's anxious gaze in secret, Abner pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You're a strong kid." Owen praised him generously.

If he had not learned from Ryan that the child was hard to get close with, he might have touched his head like how he treated Andrew and Ashley.

He went on to say, "Don't worry, we don't mean to hurt you and your grandparents for real. It was just an act. Do you know about acting? Just like in the TV series, everything is fake. The uncles standing around you in black suits are actually police. Our responsibility is to protect you, instead of hurting you. Do you understand?"

Abner replied with a blank face as he heard Owen's words, "You've told me these before the shooting."

Owen burst into laughter. He had indeed said the words before filming, but for fear of Abner's misunderstanding, that was why he stressed it again.

Looking at Abner's cool and unflappable demeanor, Owen could not help but feel that Sawyer's son had the potential to become an ambitious person as well.

An ambitious person?

Better not... As Sawyer alone was enough to give him a headache.

After shaking his head in amusement, Owen was about to stand up when Abner took the initiative to ask, "Amelia... will come back, right?"

When he looked into Abner's eyes which were finally filled with emotions, it was really hard for Owen to answer with some ambiguous words as "perhaps" or "maybe". He felt that unless Sawyer was an extremely cold-blooded person, he would not just watch his own son and parents suffer as such.

"Yes, Amelia... will be back."

In Norway.

There was no calendar in the room. But Amelia could tell from the wall clock and the sun and moon outside the window how long she had been trapped there.

Since she got awake, she had been in the spacious and beautiful 'cage' for a total of nine days. Although the length of the chain on her ankle could allow her to reach every corner of the room, including the bathroom, it was not enough!

She wanted to leave the place!

But other than the deaf foreign boy who brought her food everyday, she had not seen anyone else as the days passed. She did not even know where she exactly was...

The optimistic mentality that supported her to eat properly while keeping quiet had also decreased following the days of wait. She began to doubt her own judgment. Could Mr. Hopper's side still not know who had kidnapped her?

That was impossible. It was something really obvious after all!

Eve had taken a woman into the lounge to look for her, which was witnessed by the security guard at the door. Unless he was bribed by Eve.

Thinking of this, Amelia could not help but feel a chill in her heart, but soon she cheered up.

Even if the security guard at the door was bribed, Eve was still the top suspect. Everyone knew that Eve hated her the most. Since Eve had strangely attended her wedding, it should not be a doubt for her to be suspected.

Thinking about it over and over again, Amelia preferred that Eve was unwilling to easily reveal her whereabouts. That was why Mr. Hopper and the others had not been able to find her after such a long time.

"Sir... shall I continue to send the meals?" On the phone, the foreign boy sounded to be panting.

Sawyer stared coldly at Amelia's stubborn face in the monitor and replied, "Continue."

Amelia had not consumed even a sip of water for the entire afternoon. Of course, Sawyer would not let her go on that way. As she was his powerful weapon when it came to dealing with Patrick!

But if he appeared in front of her directly, it would inevitably cause her more intense reaction.

Fortunately, he had already prepared in advance. He turned on the sound system attached to the speaker in her room. The sound system had been revised, so he did not have to worry about exposing his real voice.

Amelia, who deliberately had a hunger strike in the room, frowned after she heard the rustle from the speaker. She subconsciously said, "Who is it? Stop messing around in the dark!"

A strange voice slowly sounded from the speaker, "Why don't you eat all of a sudden? Don't you care about your child?"

After a moment of confusion, Amelia said, "If I don't act this way, you'll never show up."

The strange voice became quiet. "So, you're trying to force the mastermind out of anxiety, right?"

Amelia pretended to be asking casually, "Isn't the mastermind Eve?"

Unexpectedly, the person was not fooled. "Shall you be trying to get words out of me?"

"No." Amelia denied first and then put up and excuse, "I'm just curious."

"Curious about what?"

Amelia then asked about what she concerned the most. "I'm curious about the wedding scene after I was kidnapped. How are the guests now who attended the wedding? For how long shall I stay here? Can I talk to Eve?..."

When Amelia finished her words, the strange voice sounded, "You've asked a lot of questions. How about this? For each day you eat, I'll answer one of your questions."

"Alright." Amelia knew she had no choice.

After an unknown period of time-

The fragrant Spanish seafood fried rice and cheese roasted crabs were served with Russian soup. The chefs did not give up after their 'hard work' being knocked over continuously. Instead, they prepared the meals with more effort.

Since Amelia had achieved her goal, she would no longer suffer herself and the baby in her belly. After consuming the last sip of soup, she raised her eyes to look at the black speaker and asked, "Now can you answer my question?"
