Chapter 88
Zayn's words Chapter echoed in Willow's ears, Zayn had released her neck and left the room decisively, but Willow was still so overwhelmed with sorrow that she could barely breathe. Why did she disgust him so much?
But no matter how repulsive she was to him, loving him was the most profound connection in her life.
However, she wouldn't love him anymore. It was specifically because she loved him so deeply that she couldn't bear to disgust him further.
Willow curled up in the corner, holding onto her body tightly. She wasn't sure if it was due to the pain or the cold, but her body kept trembling incessantly. No matter what she did, she couldn't find any comfort. She kept telling herself that she just needed to endure a little longer.
After this, she would get the money to rescue Aaron from the kidnappers and pay for his surgery. After that, she would retreat from the mundane world, knowing Aaron was healthy and safe.
Willow kept wanting to go to sleep, but her strong conviction kept her from collapsing
She picked up the clothes that had been scattered on the ground, only to find them torn and unfit to wear.
Luckily, there was a brand-new casual outfit in the room. Though not perfectly fitting, it would at least cover up the humiliation she had suffered.
After dressing herself and tidying up, Willow found that a large sum of money had been transferred to her bank account.
10 million dollars. She only received 10% of her total price.
Rumpus Club took too big of a cut, causing her to lose 90 million dollars for no reason. Willow was upset, but it was enough to save Aaron.
After calling the kidnappers and confirming that they were on the cliff of Mount Embercrest, she wasted no time. She grabbed her bank card and headed toward Mount Embercrest
By the time Willow reached Mount Embercrest, it was almost noon. A tall, burly man was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as he saw her, he approached aggressively and demanded, "Where's your bank card? We need to verify it first."

Willow naturally didn't want to hand over the bank card first. She eyed him warily. "I want to see Aaron first. If I'm not sure of his safety, I won't give you the bank card. "What? You want to negotiate with me? the man sneered disdainfully. "Let me tell you. You're not in the place to negotiate with me. Hand over the bank card! Otherwise, I'll get the guys on the mountaintop to kill your son right now!"
Willow's heart pounded wildly. She knew this man wasn't joking. She clutched the bank card tightly in her hand. Though she didn't want to lose her last bargaining chip, she couldn't risk Aaron's life.
"Give it! Don't do anything stupid, and I'll make sure the kid stays safe and sound. Otherwise, be ready to see his body."
Seeing the man take out his phone to
call his accomplices, Willow dared not disobey his command. She quickly handed him the bank card.
The man took out a POS machine to verify that Willow wasn't trying to trick him. Then helgrabbed her arm and shoved her into the van, taking her up the mountain.
At the edge of the cliff, Willow finally saw Aaron. But she never expected me to find two other familiar faces En
there-Zayn and Skyler.
