Chapter 833 Trading Nydia for her mother-in-law
Jesse and Nydia never waited for any information on their side.
It was evident that the other party was in no hurry to contact them.
“Mr. Pascall, found out something.” Frederick came over to report to Jesse.
“A little more time should be able to determine the approximate location so we can line up.”
“Okay, they’re giving us time instead of looking for us.”
If you want to rescue Rosalind, you have to know where Rosalind is, if you had known this, you should have given Rosalind a watch as well, in this way, you don’t need to be so troublesome.
At that time, it was mainly because I was afraid of arousing suspicion, after all, it was not strange for two children to wear such a watch, but it was very strange for an old man to wear such a watch, and it was easy to arouse suspicion.
“Well? Any clues?” Nydia asked.
“A bit of a clue, don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter, you don’t have to care.”
“I think the capture of mom is nothing more than an attempt to deal with you.”
“It must be.”
At this point both Jesse and Nydia thought it was to get at Jesse, but Sara was actually targeting Nydia.
“Mom didn’t suffer much last time with Molly and Tavish around, just a few hungry meals, but this time it’s not so good.”
They had spoiled something so big for Alex, Alex’s men must have hated them with a passion, and it was expected that Rosalind wouldn’t be treated any better, and would definitely be injured.
“For now her life should be safe.”
Toward the end of the night, Nydia received a message:
[Don’t tell Jesse about the contents of this message, or you’ll be collecting your mother-in-law’s body].
Nydia was startled when she saw the message, her heart racing, and soon after, the person sent a picture of Rosalind with a scary looking face injury.
[You call this number after you sneak out to Union Square while Jesse is away]
“What are you looking at so hard?” Jesse’s voice startles Nydia.
“What’s wrong?” Jesse didn’t expect Nydia to be startled.
After hesitating for a moment Nydia still handed Jesse her cell phone, “Look at this.”
Jesse’s face changed when he looked at it and a cold aura was released around him.
“What now?”
“You stay out of it.”
“If I don’t care, your mom … will probably get Rosalind killed on the other side, and that’s more than she can handle.”
“I’ll take care of it.” Jesse didn’t want to put that pressure on Nydia.
Nydia thought about it but decided to reply to the text.
“How am I going to reply?”
“Don’t rush back yet, you’re pregnant now, it’s normal for your cell phone to not respond in a timely manner, I’ll check the number first.”
“Good.”
Jesse and Tavish check this number together, but there is nothing to gain, this number is not a real existing number, but after some manipulation it becomes a virtual number, it is impossible to find out anything based on this number.
“Daddy, what should we do in such a situation?” Tavish was very accomplished in hacking, but this current problem also stumped him.
“You need to dial the number and then trace it, even if it’s a virtual number, it can be traced, it’s just a little bit more troublesome and will take a little more time.”
But the other party might not pick up this call, and even if they did, they wouldn’t stay on the line for a long time.
It could only be done opportunistically.
Jesse asked Nydia to call the number back, but no one answered, and then he received a text message.
[Don’t just call this number unless you’re already in Union Square.]
The person on the other end knew their capabilities well enough to know that if they answered the phone they would be checked out.
“I think they’re for real, if I don’t go they’ll …”
“You may not be able to switch back if you go.” Jesse said bluntly and brutally.
“The fact that it’s you who’s the target this time makes me think it’s not Alex’s idea.”
If it had been the couple, it might have been Alex’s idea, but this time the target was Nydia.
“I suspect it’s Sara.”
“Sara? She could pull a stunt like that?”
“She’s not low enough on Alex’s side to make a big move like that, my guess is she did it without Alex’s knowledge.”
“What’s it going to be now?”
“Stall for time.”
Just stall for time so Jesse’s people can find out exactly where to get Rosalind out.
That way no one needed to be sacrificed.
Trading Nydia for Rosalind was something Jesse would never do.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
There was still over a month to go before the birth, and if it fell into Sara’s hands, it would definitely be a dead body, and he couldn’t afford to gamble on that!
“I’m sure mom will understand.”
Nydia hugged Jesse, she was well aware of the amount of mental stress Jesse had to go through to make his decision, this was a serious matter for Jesse and would fuel his mental illness even more.
She was becoming more and more certain that this was Sara’s doing, that Sara was using this to irritate Jesse in such a way that whatever decision Jesse made would aggravate his condition.
Sure enough, he felt the headache again, and this time it seemed to hurt so bad that his body was shaking and he even tried to bang his head against the wall.
She rushed to get the needle, but he was moving, leaving her no way to accurately administer the needle.
“Jesse, just bear with me for a moment, I’ll put a couple of needles in you and it’ll be better, don’t move, don’t move yet!”
Jesse was in so much pain that he couldn’t keep himself still at all, Nydia had to go and call for someone to get Vergil and Jeff the butler, they held Jesse down.
“Mr. Pascall, you mustn’t move, if you hurt Mrs. Pascall, something will happen to the boy.” Vergil reminded Jesse that the words were still useful, and in this brief moment of silence Nydia quickly stuck the needle, her hands were quick, and with two stitches Jesse’s pain eased quite a bit, and by the time the third and fourth stitches were stuck it was noticeably better, and there was no more fidgeting and struggling.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Pascall this pain is too much, if it’s like this next time …” Vergil thought it was dangerous, especially with a pregnant woman around, it was too dangerous.
“You guys worked hard, next time it’s fine.”
“Mrs. Pascall, we’d better wait here for a while.” Vergil wasn’t quite sure.
He knew very well how important Nydia was to Jesse, and surely he didn’t want to hurt Nydia while he had a headache, so he’d have to stay here and watch.
“That’s okay.”
Jesse fell asleep after he quieted down, and Vergil and Nydia stood guard next to him.
“Mrs. Pascall, in this situation, you should have hid.” He didn’t feel the need to accompany Mr. Pascall on his adventure.
“Where would I hide? It’s only dangerous if I don’t stay with him.”
Unless she hid in Deep Cade, but that would be dangerous as well, and she didn’t want to be separated from Jesse, two people in one piece, problems could be faced together, even if they died, death wasn’t scary, it was the one who survived who faced the parting alone that was the most tormenting.
“I know you are for our good, thank you Vergil, these years you stayed by his side, helped him a lot, also helped me a lot.”
“It’s all I should have done, Mr. Pascall has been good to me, even though he’s venomous and short-tempered.”
As a result Jesse came in slyly, “Vergil, I’m just passed out, I’m not dead!”
