Awoman in a janitorâs uniform rushed out of the tool room as Tammy and Alicia left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Tammyâs neck. Tammy had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She couldnât stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin Alicia was so scared that she screamed. She then immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice, many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them. They all stood back and watched Tammy grabbed the womanâs arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Anna for forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment However, the woman clearly realized what Tammy was trying to do She whispered in a husky voice, âDonât do anything. Iâll slit your throat if you move one more time. By then, your blood will flow like a waterfall, and youâll die tragically!â
The womanâs voice was so husky that it made Tammy feel like a saw was cutting into her ears. She then took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself. âOkay, Iâll do as you said. Calm down, please. What do you want from me? I can give you anything you want.â Tammy said in fear Hearing that, the woman said nothing. She just grunted coldly As she felt the cold tip of the knife on her skin, Tammy didnât even dare to breathe. Her hands were sweating as she feared the woman would do something crazy the next second âDo you want money? Iâll give you money.â Tammy asked. She guessed the woman was around forty years old and probably homeless because she smelled like rotting meat in a garbage dump. Maybe sheâs got some mental problems. Tammy thought âIâm not interested in money!â The woman replied with a strange laughter âWhat do you want then?â
âAllI want to do is kill you,â The woman said through gnashed teeth She then dragged Tammy backward until they were both leaning against a wall âWhy are you doing this to me? You could have asked for money instead of killing me. Money can buy you a good life.â Tammy spoke calmly while winking at Alicia and motioning for her to dial 911 Getting Tammyâs hint, Alicia quickly blended into the crowd, escaped the restroom, and dialed 911 âCut the bullshit! Are you Anna GabrielâS daughter?â The woman asked âHuh? Iâm not. Have you mistaken me for someone else? I donât know her.â At this crucial moment, Tammy realized that this person was here to seek revenge on Anna. /S this person Momâs enemy?
Is she trying to use me to threaten Mom? It seems that |am in real danger!â
âStop lying!â The woman screamed. She then made a light cut on Tammyâs skin with the tip of her knife Instantly, Tammy felt the pain in her neck, followed by a warm liquid sliding down her bare skin. Tammyâs white dress was stained with her blood as if she had bright red flowers on her chest At the realization that she was in serious danger this time, Tammy was terrified. Sheâd been kidnapped before, but sheâd never been harmed âIâve already called her, so sheâll be there soon. Can I be the hostage instead of my sister? You can ask for more when holding me hostage because Iâm the groupâs president.â
The woman looked at Tammy and Matthew before shaking her head âNo. I donât trust you! Youâre stronger than your sister!â
Suddenly, a group of people dashed this way, led by Wayne and Anna âTammy!â Anna yelled. She felt dizzy when she saw what had happened to her daughter âMom! Donât come over!â Tammy yelled âAnna. Itâs been a while. Do you still remember me?â The woman asked. She sounded like a shattered saw. The woman was dressed in soiled and tattered clothes and wore a ragged baseball cap. She also wore a black mask to cover up her face Anna could smell a stinky odor from the woman a long way away. She suspected this woman was a homeless living in a garbage dump âWho are you? Do you know me?â Anna asked. Then, when she looked at Wayne, Wayne shook his head âYou donât remember me? No! This is not possible!â The woman then burst out laughing âWhat do you want? If you let my daughter go, Iâll give you anything.â Wayne spoke calmly âIâm not sure what I want. I know youâre wealthy, but money means nothing to me. I wonât be around much longer.â
After hearing the womanâs words, Anna had a sudden realization. She suddenly thought of a woman who was supposed to be dead. Could this woman possibly be Ada? How could she still be alive? Why did she change so much? What happened to her? Annathought, Hold ona second... Ada has Aids! People with Aids will develop skin ulcers.
That explains why she smells so bad With that in mind, Anna asked, âAre you Ada? Are you still alive?â
Ada laughed like crazy after a brief pause. âAnna, youâve always been quite clever. I am still alive, but I would rather be in hell right now!â
âAda, we can find you the best doctors to treat your illness. Even if they canât cure you, youâll still be able to live a little longer,â
Anna said âNo, I donât need that. Iâve lived long enough and been through enough pain. I know Iâll never be able to beat you, Anna.â
âAre you sure you donât want to live any longer? Will you just let Tammy go? We have a history, but my daughter is entirely innocent. Weâll do whatever you say if you let Tammy go,â
Anna had no idea what Ada was trying to do. She also knew that if Ada truly wanted to murder someone, she would do it immediately. As a result, Anna concluded that Ada was holding Tammy hostage because she wanted something else âYou hate me, right? How about letting me be your hostage?â Anna asked
