Grace slightly pressed her lips together and said, âIf I were the one suffering from that sort of headache, youâd hug me like that too, wouldnât you?â
He was silent. She endured the slight tingling in her hand to caress his cheek. There was an indescribable contrast between her swollen red fingers and his handsome face.
Grace said, âJay, weâre husband and wife. I believe you would do anything to save me if I were in danger. Similarly, Iâll save you too if youâre in danger!â
Jasonâs eyelashes quivered slightly. âArenât you scared that Iâd accidentally beat you up, or evenâ¦â He could not continue.
It was because the very possibility of that made him nervous, even if it was a hypothetical scenario.
Grace said, âIâm scared, but Iâm more scared youâll sink into remorse when you wake up. Jay, promise me, donât be obsessed with the memories you lost. Let them come to you naturally, donât force it. Just because youâre okay this time doesnât mean youâll be okay next time.â
Jason stared at the person in front of him. Moments later, he slowly said, âOkay, I promise you.â
âBecause it wonât happen again!â
Sean did not expect Lily to see him again and tell him that William had been kidnapped!
âKidnapped?â Sean was stunned.
âYes, the kidnapper also sent a message. They want me to prepare a ransom of one million dollars before theyâll let him go!â Lily showed Sean a text message on her phone as she spoke.
However, the phone number that sent the text message was fake, so there was no way to trace it or call it back.
âWeâll call the police and have them find him!â said Sean as he pulled out his phone.
âNo!â Lily snatched Seanâs phone from his hand. âThe kidnappers said theyâll kill him if we call the police! I canât take that risk. Williamâs my only child and heâs also your only child, Sean. Youâve never done your duty as a father. Are you going to disregard Williamâs life now?â
Sean stiffened. The child was his flesh and blood. How could he not be anxious and worried? It was just that⦠âI donât have that much money, and thereâs no way I can get one million dollars even if I borrow from others and beg. Reporting it to the police is our only way right now.â
Lily said, âItâs not impossible to get one million dollars! Grace and Jason can easily fork out one million dollars!â
Sean said with a wry smile, âDo you want me to beg them? Youâre well aware of what we did to Grace back then. Do you think theyâll give us one million dollars if we knelt in front of them? Youâre asking for the moon!â
âWhat if we kidnap their children? Then theyâll be willing to pay for them. Theyâll pay hundreds of millions of dollars, let alone one million dollars!â said Lily.
Seanâs expression changed. âYou want me to kidnap their children? Are you kidding me? Do you think the Reed familyâs bodyguards are just for show? I probably canât even get within one hundred meters of them!â
âOf course, we canât get near the son and daughter who are with Jason. But what if itâs the child whoâs not with them?â asked Lily.
âWhat do you mean?â Sean froze.
