Chapter 1158 Rescue the Children
“Madeleine! What are you doing?!” Rose was shocked and terrified by the scene in front of her. She ran towards the cliff in a panic, with Elliot following closely behind her, equally tense and serious.
Madeleine saw Rose’s silhouette through the rear-view mirror and, closely followed by Elliot, her expression turned fierce. She shouted, “Stop! Don’t come any closer! Otherwise, I’ll release the brakes, and these kids will die with me!”
Rose hesitated, unable to move forward. Her tightly clenched fists dug into her palms, and the sharp pain sent her mind reeling in confusion.
“Rose,” Elliot saw Rose running frantically in that direction and couldn’t help but chase after her, grabbing her and half-hugging her in his arms. He soothed her by holding onto the hand she had clenched into a fist and said, “Calm down. The child is still in the car. Let’s take it slow and make sure not to anger her and harm the child.”
Rose nodded and stood silently in place, her gaze fixed on the black business car several steps away.
From her perspective, Madeleine in the driver’s seat and Shawn lying next to her on the passenger seat can be seen.
The black glass blocked the view inside and Rose was unsure if the three children were in the car. She was about to speak when someone knocked on the back window from inside, followed by Leah’s crying voice. “Mommy! Mommy, save me and my brothers! We’re here!”
Rose felt a suffocating sensation in her chest and almost couldn’t catch her breath when she heard her daughter’s voice.
“Shut up! If you make any more noise, I’ll kill you all.” Madeleine’s voice was chilling, her face twisted with rage. She glared at the three children in the back seat, and upon seeing their striking resemblance to Elliot, her resentment grew even deeper.
Rose held her breath and trembled slightly. “Madeleine, don’t hurt the child. If you have any grudges, come after me. The child is innocent!”
“Innocent? Hahaha, that’s laughable! Just because these three little bastards are the children of you and him, they are anything but innocent!”
Rose’s face turned cold. It seemed that Madeleine had found out about the children’s identities, but how did she know?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Elliot thought of this, his gloomy gaze fixed on her. “How do you know?”
“What, are you trying to keep this from me? Elliot, it’s you who first betrayed me!” Madeleine yelled, startling both Rose and the child inside the car. Shawn, who was in the passenger seat, slowly opened his eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented.
“You abandoned me and Shawn for this woman! Rose has been dead for so many years, why are you still with her? She left you first!”
She is in pain and doesn’t want either of these people to have it easy.
The two children who were taken with Rose had been planned for many days! When she overheard the conversation between old Mr. Harper and Elliot outside of the hospital room, she couldn’t control her emotions. She had planned to take advantage of going to find Shawn and also take these two little bastards with her, but she didn’t expect them to be so cautious that they never even showed their faces! Finally, after waiting for this opportunity today and unexpectedly finding Khalil along the way, she absolutely wouldn’t let it slip by!
“Madeleine, please calm down first.” Elliot pursed his lips and removed the fierce expression on his face. “You can tell us anything you want to say. If you have any requests, we will try our best to fulfill them. Also, please don’t do anything illegal.”
“Yes, Madeleine, we can negotiate! Don’t let yourself regret anything. I won’t pursue this situation as long as you make sure the children get off safely,” Rose gritted her teeth and tried to calm the other person down, fearing that any displeasure on her part would harm the children.
Rose can’t bear to see children getting hurt in front of her, let alone in the current situation.
“Fine, let’s talk.” Madeleine sneered, her voice dripping with malice. Then, she turned to Elliot and said, “As long as you let this woman replace her child in death, I’ll spare these three little bastards. What do you think, Elliot?”
Elliot’s pupils contracted, and his throat moved as if he were about to speak, but Madeleine added another sentence.
“Oh, one more thing. After Rose dies, you must marry me immediately. If you can do these two things, I will spare your child.”
Sean and Khalil exchanged a solemn glance in the back seat, their emotions overwhelming them.
This woman is really crazy.
And Shawn next to him finally understood the current situation after this conversation.
He weakly lifted his hand, wanting to grab his own mother’s hand, but because he had no strength, it only reached halfway before falling down. He cried out with a pale face, “Mom, don’t do this.”
“Shawn, why are you awake?” Madeleine saw fear in her son’s eyes and softened her expression slightly. “Don’t be afraid, go back to sleep for a little while longer. I’ll stay with you.”
Although she hadn’t been particularly good to Shawn over the years and wasn’t a model mother, she had grown accustomed to him being her and Elliot’s child. So when it came time to harm her own son, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she drugged him with a sleeping pill. However, she didn’t anticipate that he would wake up halfway through.
Madeleine’s panic lasted only a moment, and the next second, she regained her composure. She also grabbed some sleeping pills and shoved one into Shawn’s mouth.
Then Khalil in the back seat took the opportunity to tap his own electronic watch, which lit up with a red light and then immediately displayed Elliot’s face.
Khalil made a quick gesture without changing his expression, while Elliot outside nodded and also gestured towards the arriving bodyguards.
Rose saw two black-clad bodyguards swiftly approaching the business car under Elliot’s instructions, hiding in the blind spot of the car, making it impossible for Madeleine in the driver’s seat to see any trace.
“Mom, I don’t want to eat,” Shawn turned his head away from Madeleine’s attempt to feed him medicine, and the white pill fell onto the seat.
Madeleine had a bad temper, and she roughly pinched the child’s chin to make him turn around. Then, she picked up a pill and attempted to force it into his mouth.
Shawn looked at her pitifully and helplessly, “Mom, my chest hurts. It hurts so much…”
Madeleine’s body stiffened and she couldn’t help but change her expression. “Shawn, why did you suddenly have a heart attack? It’s okay, just take your medicine and I will be with you soon. You should go to sleep first.”
