Redemption
Uncle Olsen watched Mrs. Olsen without moving.
….
After more than twenty years, they had become the most familiar strangers.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
It was Ellis who coughed and broke the silence, “Mrs. Olsen, what brings you here?”
When Mrs. Olsen heard this, her eyes darkened slightly.
She suddenly realized that Uncle Olsen in front of her was the handsome uncle that Keira had mentioned.
Her fingers tightened slightly.
He had seen Keira’s face, hadn’t he?
If he knew that Keira was her daughter, then he would know…
Just as she thought of this, Mrs. Olsen’s cell phone rang. She took it out, glanced at it, and intended to hang up, but when she saw Keira’s name marked on the screen, she answered the call. She was about to ask Keira’s whereabouts when an electronic voice came from the other end.
“We have your daughter.”
Mrs. Olsen’s pupils contracted. “What?”
“I’ve sent you the location.”
After saying this, the person on the other end hung up.
Mrs. Olsen was startled, looked down at her phone, and indeed saw GPS coordinates. As soon as she saw the location, she became extremely nervous!
It was out at sea!!
Uncle Olsen saw the sudden change in Mrs. Olsen’s complexion, thinking she had seen him and that it had upset her. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mrs. Olsen dialing 911 with trembling hands. “Hello, I want to report a kidnapping. My daughter has been abducted!”
She said this as she turned around abruptly and left the private room.
Uncle Olsen followed without hesitation and asked, “What’s going on?”
Mrs. Olsen knew this wasn’t the time for false pride. She turned to Uncle Olsen immediately. “You have to help me…”
…
Keira woke up suddenly with a start.
Her heart raced, and her breathing was rapid!
She took deep breaths only to realize she was bound on a ship!
A faint scent still lingered at the tip of her nose, making her head foggy, but recalling the scene before she fainted…
Keira frowned.
Keera was off to pick up her child, so she wanted to leave first. When Keira was sending Keera off and had just opened the door of the private room, a strange and intense fragrance wafted in…
Afterward, she knew nothing.
Now…
Keira surveyed her surroundings with furrowed brows.
Keera was opposite her, handcuffed to a steel bar on the ship, still unconscious on the ground.
Keira turned her head to see her own hands also cuffed.
Water was slowly seeping into the ship’s hold, and visibly, the ship was sinking toward the ocean floor!!
Through the window, one could see the water surface was about to submerge the entire ship, meaning the air in the cabin was becoming increasingly thin…
Keira knew that if she didn’t escape within a minute, she might be buried at sea!
She immediately turned back to look at her hands.
Then without hesitation, she broke a finger joint, her face turning pale with pain, but her groggy brain suddenly became crystal clear at that moment.
She quickly freed her entire hand from the handcuffs, and without taking the time to heal herself, she rushed over to Keera. “Wake up, wake up!”
Keera came back groggily.
Upon seeing the situation, her pupils contracted, and she immediately cried out, “It’s them! They must have come for us! They want to kill us!”
Keira looked at her hands. “Who are they?”
Although Keira had been enslaved by Poppy since she was young, often doing hard labor, her hands had been well cared for in recent years, becoming much more slender.
Thus she was able to escape from the handcuffs.
However, Keera’s hands were, for some reason, thicker at the joints as if they were toughened by heavy labor. Even if her joints were dislocated, she couldn’t break free.
Keira could only look around and hastily grabbed a stick, ready to break the handcuffs!
Keera, however, was talking in panicked confusion. “I’m already such a mess, and my life is so miserable. Why won’t they let me go? No, it’s you they want to kill, Keira, it’s you… It was me who came to find you, who led them here… It was I who exposed you!”
Tears rolled down her face as she cried uncontrollably.
But Keira didn’t waste words; instead, she lifted the stick and struck the handcuffs hard!
There was a loud “clang!” and the handcuffs merely bent without breaking.
Keira raised the stick and struck again!
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
The handcuffs were deformed but didn’t show any signs of breaking.
Instead, Keira, exerting herself, found her breathing becoming ragged, struggling to breathe.
Keera also found it difficult to breathe.
She looked outside the window and saw the entire ship had completely sunk under the water. If they didn’t find a way to leave now, they were likely to drown!
Keera turned to Keira immediately. “Keira, stop saving me. You need to get out of here quickly!”
Keira didn’t pay attention to her and continued to hammer at the handcuffs.
To escape now, they must break the boat’s window, but doing so would undoubtedly flood the interior. If Keera’s handcuffs aren’t opened, her escape would mean Keera’s death!
Seeing her determination, Keera’s eyes reddened. “Keira, listen to me, go! I’m trash and a waste not worth saving. If you delay any longer, we’ll both die!”
Keira frowned upon hearing this. “How are you not worth saving? Think about your husband and child; they are still waiting at home for you!”
“Husband…” –
Keera slumped down in the boat with a wry smile, “My husband, he deceived me. He had an affair, and I can’t even divorce… My life is such a failure. Someone like me may as well just die!”
“Shut up!” Seeing her completely devoid of the will live, Keira frowned and said, “What about your daughter? What will happen to Amy if you die? The other woman will move in openly, taking over your house, sleeping with your husband, and abusing your daughter! Would you trust your daughter with her?!”
These words ignited a fighting spirit in Keera’s eyes, and she sat up straight. “Right, right, I can’t die. I still have my daughter… Amy is waiting for me to come home!”
After she said this, she looked at her hand.
The handcuffs were too sturdy and impossible to break.
She bit her lip and suddenly said, “Keira, smash my hand instead!”
Keira was taken aback.
Keera said, “The handcuffs are made of steel bars and are impossible to break. We’re out of time. Strike my wrist and crush my hand!”
Keira bit her lip hard.
Keira’s gaze fell on her slender wrist, then she looked back outside. The water had completely submerge the boat, and water was pouring into the cabin frantically; they would soon run out of oxygen.
This might be the only way!!
She clenched her fist tightly.
“Don’t hesitate! Keira, I’d rather lose an arm than leave Amy without a mother!”
Keera’s words made Keira take a deep breath.
“…Spread out your palm.”
Keira obediently spread her palm on the pipe, turned her head to the side, closed her eyes, and trembled slightly…
Unable to bear it, Keira gripped the stick tightly in her hands and then violently struck at her hand!
“Bang!”
Keira let out a muffled grunt.
But the expected intense pain didn’t come from her wrist; instead, her little finger was in excruciating pain…
Looking over, she saw her little finger crushed, and Keira picked up her hand. With two “snap” sounds, dislocated the joints and then twisted her hand ou the handcuffs.
That way, she preserved Keera’s hand; it was only the little finger that was ruined.
This was much better than Keera had anticipated and didn’t bring much inconvenience to her life.
“Get up.”
Keira grabbed Keera’s arm then pulled her up and immediately went to the side window.
She looked at the stick in her hands again and found a weak point on the window, striking down hard!
“Bang!”
The glass shattered in response, and the water outside rushed in immediately.
The furniture inside the boat floated and rushed
toward them. Keira suffered several cuts, but at such a critical moment, she didn’t care about those and urgently grabbed Keera’s hand. Together, they struggled and escaped through the window!!
They swam upward with all their strength…
Trying to surface…
But just as they were about to see the sunlight, all o Keira’s strength seemed to be suddenly drained away.
Her vision began to darken in waves…
That was bad!
Keira screamed inwardly. It was time for her infusion! But she had been trapped here and had exerted herself for so long; now she must be severely anemic…
She tried to keep herself alert, but it was no use.
Her body abruptly lost control and began to sink…
Keira struggled, trying to reach out for something, but caught nothing.
She only saw Keera swimming away. She seemed to realize something was wrong as she looked back in the water.
Her delicate face froze when she saw Keira’s situation.
A moment of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
But that lasted only for a moment before she made her choice. She turned back around and swam upward again!
Keira stared blankly at her.
That was how it should be…
They had been underwater, lacking oxygen for too long. If Keera turned back to save her, both would die!
She had a daughter…
A relieved smile appeared on Keira’s lips. 240 redemption
She didn’t blame Keera… If anyone was to blame, it was that inexplicable assassin…
Keira felt so tired, so very tired…
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling her body gradually sinking in the water…
Sinking…
Suddenly!
A hand firmly grasped her wrist!
