Chapter 221: You’re back
Raine immediately went out of the bathroom and returned the mobile phone back to Aunt Sanya.
"I really hope that we won’t resort to this," Sanya murmured, gingerly holding the phone between her hands.
"Aunty... Please trust me on this," Raine pleaded. "Nathan will be back soon, and I need any of those sleeping potions or pills you have right now to give to him later. That way, he won’t be awake during the exchange of hostages."
Raine resisted the urge to flinch as she saw the conflicted expression on Aunt Sanya’s face. However, she still knew that it was the only way for a peaceful resolution... She refused to let two innocent kids die just because of Nathan’s utter possessiveness over her. She understood where he was coming from, but it was still an easy choice to make. Besides, she was confident that she and Nathan would reunite soon.
Making up her mind, Aunt Sanya let out a restless sigh as she whispered, "Alright. I’ll be going now to get the thing that you wanted."
Raine smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Sanya."
With a nod, the woman quickly left the room, her pace quickening knowing how little time they had left.
Letting off a sigh, Raine absently looked at the meals in front of her. They all looked scrumptious, but she simply had no appetite to eat at the moment.
After some time, Aunt Sanya returned to give her a bottle. It contained a powerful sleeping agent that she had to add into Nathan’s drink to make him fall into a deep sleep.
