Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 742

Chapter 742:

Norah gently walked over, immediately noticing his high body temperature. He had a fever. Norah knew he

couldn’t stay here any longer; he needed treatment urgently, or he risked brain damage. Using an iron wire, she

unlocked the chain around his ankles and, with one hand, pulled his arm to help him up.

When she reached the door, she hesitated. She could escape on her own, but taking him along would be

challenging. The kidnappers were all strong and experienced, and there were simply too many of them. It would

be nearly impossible for her to defeat them alone.

Hearing footsteps from above, Norah quickly placed Marlin back, re-fastened the chain, and found a place to

hide. The cellar was filled with vegetables and wine jars, providing plenty of spots to conceal herself.

The cellar door swung open, and the voices of the men spilled through.

“Damn it! Our watchmen are dead. This place isn’t safe anymore. We need to move the hostage now.”

“Hold on a second. Our boss instructed us to bring the hostage straight there. The Boyd family has already

brought the full ransom.”

“Let's all go together.”

Someone descended the stairs and led Marlin upstairs. Norah, unnoticed, held her breath from her hiding spot in

the cellar. She stealthily followed the kidnappers to the front of the building.

The leader of the kidnappers becenraged when he saw that the ransom amount was less than expected. He

gestured towards Marlin and sneered, “Your son is quite handsome, but sadly, he’ll die due to your indecision.”

Collapsed on the floor, Manley wept. “I've brought the full billion for the ransom. Why won't you release my son?

Marlin, Marlin...”

Marlin, weakened and feverish, lay there unresponsive.

The kidnappers’ leader pulled a gun from his pocket, pressing it against Marlin’s forehead. “Open your eyes.

You're about to watch your son die.”

Bang!

A gunshot echoed, and the leader collapsed, his eyes wide with shock. He had been shot by an unseen assailant.

The other kidnappers scattered in chaos. One tried to grab Marlin, while the other went after Manley. Both were

fatally shot with a pistol.

Then, a striking woman emerged from the building, her smile enchanting as she approached Marlin.

Her precise shots quickly decimated the remaining kidnappers.

She stooped to clutch Marlin’s arm, guiding him toward Manley. Unnoticed by her, Marlin’s eyes fluttered open,

gazing at her in bewilderment.
