What? Why would Adam suddenly want her dead?” I asked in shock. “Don’t know yet, but I suspect that Emily knows some of Adam’s secrets. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to silence her. So I saved her because I wanted to see if I could get anything out of her. Why? Did you think I was doing this out of the goodness of my heart?”

I turned my head to look at the bound and gagged Emily. She seemed to have struggled excessively, because her hands and feet were rubbed raw from the ropes.
Frowning, I asked Harlan, “Why’d you tie her up? Can’t you be a Little more humane?”
Harlan shrugged helplessly. “I had no choice. She was too fucking loud.”

Glancing at me, he didn’t forget to add, “Don’t worry. I’m good at this. The ropes won’t hurt her.”
Emily was practically covered in ropes, resembling a mummy. “Think again, Harlan. Look at her. Her hands and feet are red!”
“Hmm”
Emily nodded her head like crazy, as though she was echoing my sentiments. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She resembled a captured wild animal, looking very pitiful.
I sympathized with her and said to Harlan, “Harlan, stop the car. I need to check on her.”
“Is that really necessary?” Harlan didn’t understand why I was derailing him. “Women are always so troublesome,” he complained, but he still pulled over begrudgingly.
I went to the back seat and untied the rope on Emily’s feet. “Don’t be afraid. We’re not going to hurt you. You’re safe,” I comforted her in a soft voice, patting her back gently.

Emily’s chest, which had been heaving violently, gradually steadied, and she soon fell silent. She seemed to have calmed down.
I breathed a sigh of relief. If she was capable of calming down, then Emily still had some sense in her. Perhaps we could still communicate with her without tying her up.
Just then, we heard the sound of a siren in the distance. I turned around to see what was going on. A police patrol car was driving to us!
Emily seemed to have sensed the danger and shrank into my arms subconsciously. She made sure to protect her belly, her body trembling slightly.
Something was wrong. I asked Harlan, “What’s going on? Why are the police after us?”
Harlan’s expression darkened. “Because we have Emily.”
Emily was so frightened that she burst into tears and pleaded, “Please don’t hurt my child! Please!”
She looked scared out of her wits. Her face was pale, her whole body shook like a leaf, and she started whimpering loudly.
Her behavior would only make the police even more suspicious that we were up to no good.
And if the police detained us, our mission would be compromised. “Damn it! Shut up!” Harlan was pissed off and couldn’t help but yell at her.
Emily shivered and whimpered pitifully, which made my heart sink. I couldn’t help but think of my past self-the helpless, pregnant girl from five years ago. “Harlan, leave her to me.”
