Chapter 236

After escaping from immediate danger, Felix felt a bit listless.

Esther reached out to touch his little face and noticed that he had a slight fever. With limited resources, all she could do for now was use ice cubes to temporarily lower his body temperature, hoping it wouldn’t rise again.

“Felix, go to sleep. Mommy will always be by your side… I’ll never lose you again!” Esther gently patted Felix’s back as he curled up in fear. It pained her to see him like this.

Suddenly, Esther made a bold decision. She decided to have a meal with Felix.

If the captors’ attitude had changed after the phone call, it meant that they were temporarily safe.

These men could take their lives at any moment, so they wouldn’t bother with tricks like before.

“Felix.”

Felix opened his eyes and weakly replied, “Mommy…”

“Let’s eat a little.” Esther placed water and food in front of Felix. “Once we’re full, we’ll have the energy to escape.”

“Okay.”

As Felix and Esther ate, the other men exchanged glances, fear evident on their faces after the severed hand incident.

“I have to do what the boss says.

“Please remember, the mother and son in there aren’t people you can lay a finger on.

“If any of you don’t believe it and insist on trying, don’t blame me for being ruthless when the boss finds out.

“You all know what kind of person the boss is. Don’t think that he’s unaware of what you’re doing. He may turn a blind eye to some things, but that doesn’t mean he’s unaware, understand?

The men in black suits lowered their heads, filled with fear. Although they hadn’t met the boss.

personally, they knew how terrifying he was.

“Shane Hoyer asked you to kidnap Mrs. Warner, and you did as he asked? Use your brain!

“No matter how disliked she is, she’s Bradley Warner’s wife. She represents his reputation, and he’s the largest taxpayer in the city. Do you think we have the guts to challenge the entire country?”

The leader’s reprimanding tone was stern and authoritative, causing the men in black to lower their heads further.

“Proceed with the operation immediately. After the kidney transplant is complete, we’ll leave first.” The leader looked at the man with the severed hand, saying coldly, “As for you… I don’t need to give any further instructions, right?”

“Yes.”

“Understood.”

Surgery would normally require a sterile environment, but they couldn’t afford to delay the task due to unexpected circumstances. They had their own specialized doctor who was skilled and experienced.

Their main objective was to obtain organs, not kill people.

The fully armed man was stitching up the wound in a makeshift operating room.

“I’ll administer some antibiotics, but it’s not the best treatment. Whether he can survive or not depends on his fate and resilience!”

“Administer the medication to him first,” the leader instructed another man in black. “You guys ride the jet skis and head southwest. There will be someone there to meet you. Speed is crucial, and don’t mess up the client’s task.”

“Yes.”

As for the mess that remained, the leader would have to deal with it slowly. Killing witnesses was definitely not an option. However, if Esther and Felix found out about their actions, what would happen…

“I remember you can hypnotize people?”

The doctor who was suturing the wound raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent. “That comes with an extra cost.”

“I know,” the man said. “Once you’re done here, hypnotize the mother and son, but not too thoroughly.

Just erase our appearance from their memories.”

“You pay, I’ll do it. I understand.
