Punished by His Love

Chapter 2557

He raised his hand and signaled the girl to pause, and then he picked up his phone and answered it, "Hello, Sergio, what's the

matter? Is something up?"

An urgent voice could be heard saying on the other end of the phone, "Mister Yates, I am now in the county next to where you 're

at. I'm in a valley that's even further away from the county you're in. I heard that there are plenty of—"

"Wait for me there! No matter if Yvonne is in that village in the mountains or not, I have to personally make a trip there. Just in

case I can meet her there. Even if I had to risk my life, I have to take her away. Sergio, wait for me. I'll come as soon as I can!"

Kingston said with great urgency.

Upon saying that, he started putting his suit on.

"What's the matter?" asked the girl. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"I'm sorry. Stay at this hotel today. Something's come up, so I have to go. I may not return today," Kingston said to the girl

hurriedly.

"You're looking for your family, right?" the girl asked.

"I've got to go. Recuperate here. I'll be going over now," Kingston replied.

The girl immediately grabbed Kingston's arm. "Mister..."

When she addressed him as mister, Kingston suddenly felt a little warm.

"I am familiar with this area, the counties nearby, and also the valleys. If you're looking for your cousin, I may be able to lend you

a hand. The injuries on my head are fine. They are just superficial wounds. I'll follow you. I can endure hardships, so I'll be fine. I

might even be able to be of great help to you at critical moments," the girl said sincerely.

Kingston thought about it, and then he nodded. "Alright! Let's go!"

After he had already put on his suit, he suddenly thought that he would be trekking through the mountains and rivers later, so he

took off his suit again. Then, he changed into workwear. He originally wanted to shave his beard after he came back to the hotel,

but before he managed to tidy himself up, he had to depart again.

However, Kingston did not care about this at all. On the contrary, he thought that this kind of laborer's dressing would be even

easier for him to not attract any attention.

Both of them drove to the neighboring county, and they parked the car at the foot of the mountain where the car could no longer

pass anymore. One step after another, they walked toward the valley according to the route that Sergio had mentioned over the

phone. Kingston was truly inexperienced in walking these kinds of roads in the valleys.

Fortunately, the girl came along with him. Even when the sun was setting in the evening, the girl did not get lost at all.

Kingston followed the girl and found Sergio very quickly, who was laying on his stomach in a place high up.

"What's going on, Sergio?" Kingston asked.

"Mis—" Sergio was about to report to Kingston, but he was stopped by him.

"Call me by my name," said Kingston.

"Kingston," Sergio continued, "There are plenty of women in this village who got here after they married the single men here.

They were all tricked to come here. I've been observing for two days, and I realized that there is a young mother in the village

who has been carrying two children very often. The children are quite young.

They should be one year old at best. That figure and height are very similar to Miss Yates.

"However, I've not met Miss Yates much in the past, and I'm also so far away now, so I can't see clearly. At this moment, I still

can’t be sure if that is her."

"I got it, Sergio. How about this? You return to the hotel to wait for my orders. If I need your help, you can call the police

immediately. If both of us are here and something were to happen, we won't be able to protect each other," Kingston said calmly.

"Alright!" Sergio returned after he was given an order.

Kingston and the girl who came along with him were the only ones left on higher ground in the valley.

After both of them laid on their stomach quietly on that higher ground for more than one hour, their hard work truly paid off.

Before the night had completely fallen, the young mother that Sergio spoke of appeared in Kingston's line of sight.

Unfortunately, the young mother was indeed carrying two children, but she was not Yvonne.

Kingston then came down from the higher ground with immense disappointment and he walked out along the uneven surface.

The sky was completely darkened, so both of them had to rely on their phones for lights. There were all sorts of vines and weeds

on the ground. Kingston was not in a good mood, so he was walking very quickly.

As he was walking, he suddenly shouted, "Gosh, I've been bitten by something."

Upon hearing that, the girl behind her suddenly shouted in shock, " It's venomous...snake!"
