“How could a man like you get jealous of your sister?” It was the first time stefan had seen the strong and independent Adie behave like this, but he knew this wasn’t the time to lecture his son.
Halston glared at Madelyn coldly and demanded, “Why did you kidnap my son Daddy actually Adie started anxiously, but Madelyn’s expression suddenly changed.
She pulled her hand from Adie’s and wrapped it around his neck, strangling him.
“Master Guajardo…
You’re the famous president of Guajardo Enterprise, aren’t you?”
“Calm down!” Halston said nervously, his eyes growing wide. “We can talk it out… just don’t hurt him. I don’t think there’s any reason for us to fight.” As far as he knew, he hadn’t met Madelyn before, so he figured she didn’t kidnap Adie for revenge.
“Oh, we’re definitely not enemies. I’m actually a fan of yours, Mr. Guajardo. I admire you very much…” Madelyn gazed at the handsome Halston from afar, feeling excited and flustered like a young girl again. “I know that you’re a noble rich heir, and an excellent president. I even watched the movie you filmed with Shirley… It’s said that the movie is about the romance between you and your wife.”
Halston frowned, not expecting this at all. He had wanted to kill Madelyn and save Adie, but it seemed like she was his fan. “I did shoot a movie, but it was many years ago. Did you target my son because of that?” Halston asked Madelyn in confusion. Although it sounded silly, there had been cases of fans attacking celebrities like Nolan Hart, the lead singer of the indie band from Varangia, and Jose Katz, a martial arts movie star. Both of them had been killed by their fans. Halston had only made that movie to win Flossie back, and if that was the cause of this woman kidnapping his son, he had to be one of the unluckiest people in the world.
“No!” Madelyn shook her head firmly. “It has nothing to do with that. I’m just jealous of your feelings toward your wife. After watching that movie, I started to believe in love, and long for marriage. I thought love could overcome everything.”
Halston was speechless. He wanted to scold Madelyn but was forced to be patient because she had Adie with her. “If it has nothing to do with me, why did you kidnap my son? Am I to blame for you becoming a love-struck fool after watching that movie? Also, it’s not like that movie was so great either-my marriage with my wife hasn’t been good from then until now. What was the point of it all anyway?” The movie had been from Flossie’s point of view, and included all the grievances that she had suffered in the marriage as well as his regret. It was a rather melancholic story, not at all like a pure and innocent romance.
“You might not like it, but I’m very jealous of it.” Madelyn sighed and said, “I thought my husband and I could lead such a wonderful life too, but reality gave me a fatal blow…”
*So, you chose to take revenge on society and kidnap my son?” Halston clenched his fists, struggling to suppress his anger.
“Since you’re here, I’m sure that your wife will also be here soon. So…” After a pause, Madelyn gave Halston a meaningful look. “I’m waiting for an answer.
“What answer?” Halston asked coldly.
“We’ll know once the heroine is here,” Madelyn said cryptically.
“Flossie?” Halston snorted.
“You’ll be disappointed then.
She won’t come, and I won’t let her come either.” At that moment, Flossie was still lying in the hospital, weak from blood loss.
Halston knew that Quinton and Leia wouldn’t let her leave the hospital until she was fully recovered.
“why not?” Madelyn demanded.
“Her son’s life is in my hands, and her most beloved man is trapped in a cave.
She’s the only one who can rescue the both of you, so I’m sure she’ll come.” “She won’t come.
If you wait any longer, the oxygen in the cave will run out, and we’ll all die here!” Halston tried to suppress his rage, and ordered Madelyn, “Let Adie go.
I won’t hold you accountable as long as we come out of this disaster safe and sound.
oy “T don’t care about that.” Madelyn looked up and laughed hysterically.
“I didn’t plan to go back alive, so it’s better that I’ve got two more people to die with me, especially one who was once my admired idol.” “You’re crazy!” Halston finally realized that there might be something wrong with Madelyn; nothing he said was getting through to her.
He turned to Adie and discreetly winked at him, trying to get him to kick Madelyn’s leg and escape.
Adie, however, ignored Halston’s wink and said indifferently,” Don’t worry about me, Daddy-Tiffany’s mother won’t hurt me.
If she wanted to, she would have done it ages ago.
She’s a little scared now, so she needs me to give her courage.
Just leave me be and go back.
When the hurricane is over, I can have fun on the island!” “Adie, I know she’s out of her mind, but are you too?” Halston asked in bewilderment.
“I came all the way here to find you and take you back, so don’t even think of staying here any longer to have fun.
Don’t you know that everyone is worried about you?” “You’re the only one who’s worried about me.” Adie shrugged nonchalantly.
“If not, why didn’t Mommy come? She isn’t worried that I’m all alone on this island, so you don’t have to be worried either.” “What are you saying?” Halston groaned helplessly.
For the first time, he realized how difficult it was to deal with Adie’s tantrums.
However, he couldn’t tell Adie that Flossie was hospitalized and couldn’t come even if she wanted to.
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling at the entrance of the cave.
“What happened?” Halston turned around in alarm, asking the captain behind him.
“T don’t know.
I…
I’ll go and check it out.” The captain held a torch and went back the eptrance
To his shock, it was blocked by huge rocks, and rain kept seeping into the cave through the cracks.
Frightened, the captain collapsed on the ground, staring at the darkness apead in despair
“Oh no…
It’s terrible!”
“What happened?” Halston asked, his heart pounding.
“The cave entrance…
It’s collapsed and completely blocked off — and worse, rain keeps pouring in!” The captain stammered, looking desperate.
“If this goes on, the cave will fill with water, and we’ll either drown or die from lack of oxygen!” “What?” Halston’s eyes widened in disbelief.
If that was the case, the only thing left for them was death.
Lack of oxygen, drowning, hypothermia, hunger…
They could take their pick.
“Are we dying? I…
I don’t want to die.” Tiffany, who had been quiet all along, suddenly started to cry.
“I want to grow up and keep on being my parents’ daughter.
I want to keep going to school and make many friends.
I don’t want to die!” Adie hurriedly held Tiffany’s hand to comfort her.
