Cosset You Forever

Chapter 193 Keep Their Physical Strength

"Grandfather, mother, have you got any news yet?" Hearing that Lola and Nicole were kidnapped, Joseph took the first flight back from C Country.

Landon looked at him and sighed.

Angie suddenly grabbed her cap and walked out.

"Mother, what are you doing?" he asked. Getting no answer, Joseph was starting to become also more and more anxious.

With her mind wandering in other places than the present moment, Angie answered: "I have to look for them. I can't just sit by at home and do nothing!"

"Angie, don't bother, you can't find them by yourself, and also so many people are looking for them. Calm down. Don't worry. Joseph will look for them," said Landon. He calmed down and eventually sat down on the sofa.

Joseph rushed to pull Angie back from leaving to search for Lola and Nicole. "Mother, I'll go look for them. Wait at home. Please!"

He ran out.

Everyone in A Country knew Miss Li of SL Group was kidnapped, and of course so did all the employees.

Harry returned to take charge in his own hands. He had finished all the documents in the CEO office.

It had been more than one day, but Joey hadn't called in yet.

Harry had searched A Country thoroughly in every nook and cranny but couldn't find Lola and Nicole. Did they leave A Country?

No, it wasn't plausible. He already had guessed that the kidnappers aimed at the old pocket watch.

If so, Lola and Nicole wouldn't be put in danger before they got to it. He would have to wait.

The phone rang, and he immediately picked it up to see who was calling. His face shifted at the sight of the caller's name.

"Mother!"

Rose was furious at him. Harry had promised to return back home today, but he was still in A Country.

"Don't call me 'mother'. I was humiliated in front of Yolanda's mother." They waited more than three hours today for him, but Joey told them that Harry was still in A Country over the phone.

Closing his eyes, Harry said coldly, "I'm busy with something important. Don't call and get my line busy." After he hung up the phone, it rang again, but he hung it up directly as he knew it was the same caller as before.

Rose was so furious that she wanted to throw away her phone to the wall. She had no idea on why her son was being so rude to them.

But Kevin, while reading the newspaper aside, squinted at Rose who started to burst with rage and eventually sigh. "Rose, don't force it on Harry. He has already promised us to come back and get married. That's enough." Spoke Kevin.

Sitting back down on the sofa, Rose looked bad. "That whore is to blame. She doesn't let Harry come back." She should have returned with Harry a few days ago.

Looking at Rose, Kevin shook his head helplessly. "It's harsh. She is a good girl. Don't call her that."

"She is Angie's daughter. Do you feel hurt because of that?" Rose raged at these words.

Both Angie and Rose had made every effort possible to win Kevin's heart while they were in their university years.

Both of them had feelings for Kevin, but Kevin ended up to like Rose more. However, Angie had no idea of this. She still wanted to approach Kevin several times, and Rose noticed it.

She told Angie clearly that she and Kevin had been in love for almost two years.

Angie eventually gave up on this thought. However, they joined the same association, so they often had to meet for business.

Rose believed that Angie and Kevin had developed emotional entanglements between them, so she made things more different for Angie.

This lasted several years.

And this didn't come to an end until Angie married to A Country.

Kevin was speechless. "It was years ago. Why don't you let it go already? I judge it as it stands now, in the moment."

Hearing what he said, Rose now remained silent.

In A Country.

After receiving the call from Harry, Zoe searched for Lola and Nicole everywhere but failed.

Joseph drove to the beach and wondered if Yolanda was involved in any way in this matter. However, as she was a weak woman, she couldn't possibly have the guts and wits to hide Lola and Nicole so well.

Harry had thoroughly searched all flights, trains, high-speed trains and buses, but he found nothing in the end. The kidnapper or kidnappers must be cunning.

Nicole slept for several hours before waking up in the arms of her mother, Lola, who had been also eventually untied.

"Mommy." Her soft, delicate voice made Lola burst into tears. She shouldn't have suffered this.

Lola asked her to sit up. "Nicole, I'm here. Do you feel all right?"

Nicole shook her head in a daze.

"You must be so hungry. Here, have some congee." The kidnappers gave them a bowl of rice soup. Although it was thin, she had already tasted it to make sure it was okay for her.

She took the small spoon and started to feed Nicole the cold rice soup with some steamed buns. They had to keep their physical strength up in order to cope with what would happen next.

After Nicole was full, Lola ate the rice and pickles left over.

Nicole was still in a dream-like daze. She leant in Lola's arms: "Mommy, where are we? It's dark and smelly here."

Lola held Nicole in her arms tightly. "Dear, no matter what happens next, I'm with you. You have to listen to me if something happens, okay?" She rested her chin on Nicole's head. Nicole nodded, making her feel relieved and safe.

48 hours after Lola and Nicole were gone missing, the phone rang in the Li Mansion.

Sitting by the phone, Angie picked it up immediately. "Who is it?"

The caller used a voice changer. "Is that Angie Gong? Do you want your daughter and granddaughter back?"

The kidnapper had finally called. Angie calmed herself down. "Sure. Tell me what you want."

While she was speaking with the kidnapper, Landon walked over on his crutches.

"What do I want? Ha-ha-ha." The kidnapper's weird laugh made Angie feel more restless and frown.

"I want the old pocket watch. Ask Landon Li to exchange the old pocket watch for your daughter and granddaughter in the place I'll designate at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If he doesn't come on time or comes with someone else, they both will die!"

The old pocket watch? The kidnapper wanted to meet Landon? Angie glanced at Landon who sat beside her now. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"What's the address?"

The phone was hung up as soon as she asked.

"What did he say?" asked Landon. Landon was hoary-haired, old and wrinkled. He looked nervously at Angie, but Angie didn't know what to say to him anymore.

Landon was too old even to stand it.

"They want the old pocket watch." Angie didn't dare to say anything else.

Landon frowned. The secret of the old pocket watch had been given away.

Harry had the phone at Li Mansion monitored, so now he knew about the talk of the old pocket watch over the phone.
