novelxo Chapter 1551
A bucket of icy water was poured over Fiona's head and she woke up with a start.
Her head was still spinning when she woke up. She was so dizzy that she could barely decipher the people standing in front of her. A familiar voice rang above her, "Mrs. Love, how does it feel to be suspended in the air? Is it fun?"
Fiona backed away in fear. However, when she did, a foul stench exuded from her bottom and she felt something mushy and sticky in her pants. Just as realization dawned on her, Levi's voice rang again. "What have you been eating? Dog poop? Or are you just so malicious and so your excrement is stinkier than an average person?" He narrowed his eyes in disgust.
Fiona's fingers trembled as she pointed them at Levi in fury. "You, you..."
For a long time, Fiona could not utter a proper sentence. A mix of nausea, despair, fear, and jumbled emotions coursed through her veins. As the unbeatable Fiona Cobb, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state within a day?
She felt a sudden overwhelming sense of hate!
She hated her!
That b*tch! Vanessa Love!
Why was that b*tch so lucky?
A few years ago, Fiona had drugged Vanessa and her plan was about to succeed. However, Julien emerged and saved her! A few years later, when Fiona was about to succeed again, Julien came to Vanessa's rescue... yet again!
Levi gave a dismissive wave of the hand and instructed, "Mrs. Love seems to be enjoying herself. Let's proceed with a few more laps. This time, attach a loudspeaker to her so she can listen to her own piercing shrieks. Otherwise, she may wrongly think that her screams are pleasant to the ears!"
Fiona shuddered with fear. "What are you trying to do? If you have the guts, just kill me right now!" she provoked.
"Kill you?" Levi shook his head. "Your life is so worthless. I will get nothing from killing you and it's not worth putting my life on the line for that. Let's continue with the flying game in the meantime. Once you are exhausted, we'll play some other torturous 'games' as well. You can choose whichever you like!"
Fiona's eyes widened in fear, so much so that her eyes nearly popped out of her head. However, she was so frightened that she couldn't even utter a single sound. All she did was urinate in her pants once
more.
Levi waved his hand again. "All right, let's send Mrs. Love up in the air again!"
Monique stood up abruptly and said, "Wait a minute."
Levi looked at her with discontent. "Tomboy, don't tell me that you want to plead for this old hag!"
Monique said nothing, instead, she stepped forward and slapped Fiona a few times. Once Fiona's face became as swollen as Vanessa's had been, Monique ceased what she was doing and said, "Alright, send her up."
Fiona, who had been slapped, threw herself at Monique with all her might as if she had gone crazy. However, Fiona tripped and fell flat on her face because her legs had gone weak. "You, you..." Levi demanded, "What are you guys waiting for?"
Several soldiers tied Fiona up and the helicopter soared into the sky again.
As Fiona ascended into the sky, Levi and Monique instinctively stole a glance at one another, but they quickly looked away again when their eyes met. Simultaneously, they sniggered. "What an eyesore!" In the hospital.
It had been 14 hours since Vanessa was rescued, but she remained in a coma.
The doctor did not find any injury on her head, so he ruled out the possibility that her coma was due to a head injury. However, Vanessa still did not wake up, and the doctors were still in the dark. In the meantime, the Kyle family was clearly flustered.
Silvia was not less agitated than Julien. After Vanessa was abducted, Silvia blamed herself for the incident. She grew more anxious as time passed and there was no news regarding Vanessa's whereabouts. She even slapped herself twice out of distress.
After Vanessa's return, Silvia remained by her bedside. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought the children to the amusement park, the kidnappers wouldn't have a chance to capture you and you wouldn't be here today, in a coma. Vanessa, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I beg you to wake up soon. As long as you wake up, you can do anything you want in the future, I will not stop you."
Silvia could only utter these words silently in her heart as her family members were around. Everyone hoped that Vanessa would wake up soon. They were already in distress, hence Silvia did not wish to upset them further.
Grandpa Kyle was quite elderly. After visiting Vanessa in the hospital, he returned home to rest. All the other members of the Kyle family remained in the hospital. Every one of them craned their necks, anticipating Vanessa's awakening.
Karen saw through Silvia's gaze and realized that she was blaming herself for the tragedy. She pulled Silvia aside and consoled her gently, "Silvia, Vanessa's kidnapping was premeditated by the enemy for a long time. It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
Silvia shook her head in response. "Mom, I..."
Karen patted her hand reassuringly and said, "Silvia, you haven't taken a rest for a long time. You can rest at the lounge next door. Vanessa will be fine."
Silvia shook her head again. "No, Mom, I want to wait here for Vanessa to wake up."
Silvia had her heart in her mouth as long as Vanessa remained in a coma. She couldn't stop blaming herself, especially when she thought of the endearing Lawrie, innocently asking where his mommy was the previous day.
Lawrie was very obedient, to their surprise..
As she didn't dare to tell the little fellow the truth, she told him a white lie that Vanessa had gone to work. Lawrie didn't enquire further. He curled into a ball in a corner of the house and remained silent, paying no heed to anyone. He looked very lonely as if he had been abandoned by the world.
Silvia did not know that her words had traumatized Lawrie. In the past, Vanessa would disappear for a very long time after telling Lawrie that she was going to work. Hence, Lawrie was completely unaware of the misfortune that had befallen his mother.
Karen responded, "My dear, why don't you go home and accompany Lawrie. I'm worried that he'll be frightened if none of us is around." The servants and little Larry were at home, but Karen was still worried about Lawrie.
Upon hearing what she said, Silvia hesitated. "But..."
"No 'but's. Go home and look after the children. Julien's here and will make sure nothing goes wrong!" Jayden had tried to persuade Silvia many times, but she disregarded him and he was out of ideas. Now that Karen had voiced her opinion, he seized this opportunity to convince Silvia to go home.
Silvia was still worried about Vanessa, who was unconscious in the ward. Flustered, she shrieked, "Jayden, Vanessa is still in a coma. What are you trying to do by dragging me away?"
Jayden pulled a long face and said, "Will she wake up just because you are by her side?"
"I... I'm just worried about Vanessa. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in her current state." Every time she thought of Vanessa, Silvia blamed herself. She had kept it to herself for the whole day, but now that she was alone with Jayden, she blurted out her true feelings.
