novelJohn Finally Came
| ← Ch.220 | Ch.222 → |
At a street in the northern suburbs, there was a Rolls-Royce current parked on the side.
Inside the car was John, Richard and Henry. Richard was the driver while Henry sat in the passenger seat.
The three men were currently waiting for Albert to arrive.
The silence in the car would be deafening if not for the sound of Henry's keyboard clicking. With the laptop on his lap, Nina's watch was placed on top of it.
"Mr. Shi, it turns out that Mrs. Shi's watch is actually a powerful tracking device. Albert requires you to be alone with your eyes covered in order for him to take you there. For your safety, we need you to put on Mrs. Shi's watch so we will be able to confirm your position."
Henry turned around and handed the watch over to the man in the back seat.
John took one last puff of smoke from his cigarette, then took off the watch he was currently wearing to put Nina's on.
It was evident in his eyes that he had mixed feelings about the plan.
Earlier before noon time, John reached out to Albert's men. He demanded to see Nina in person.
John wanted to see the heartless little girl with his own eyes.
The truth was that he missed her so much.
He didn't know what he would get from visiting her. Perhaps it was just as what Albert had told u?" His deep voice resonated across the room.
Nina was hiding by a corner. As soon as she heard the door open, she thought that Isabella had let some horrible animal inside again.
Nina didn't expect it to be the person she was yearning to see.
The familiar voice broke her tense stature. Her hands were filled with a strong smell of blood and she could not help but tremble.
The stain and foul smell was due to snake's blood.
"Jo... Jo... Jo... John... I... I'm here." Nina's voice trembled. She still had no idea how she was able to break the snake's head.
She wasn't aware anymore of how many snake bites she already had on her arms.
Nina looked like she was about to break down any second.
Upon hearing Nina's broken voice, John realized Nina did not voluntarily lock herself up. Albert had imprisoned her.
John followed her voice, and finally saw Nina's figure emerge from the shadows.
She was currently crouched down by the corner, hugging her legs and trembling.
John felt a sharp pain in his chest. He crouched down as well and held the girl in his arms. While caressing her head, he whispered, "It's alright. I'm here."
Nina broke into a fit of sobs. She couldn't hold back the tears that rolled down her cheeks.
John finally came for her.
