Chapter 756 Sam, If Something Happens to You
"Alright," Sam shrugged, "then I'll show you myself. Empty pockets, empty hands, empty neck, nothing at all!"
Saying this, he even jumped up and down a couple of times to show that he really had nothing on him.
Isabella said, "Turn around."
Sam complied.
There was indeed nothing suspicious.
"Penelope," Isabella sighed, "you're so lucky. Facing death, but someone is willing to die in your place. I really envy you."
Penelope was both sad and desperate. "Sam, why are you so disobedient? I'm angry, this time, I'm really angry with you, I won't forgive you!"
Sam turned to look at her when he heard this. "Penelope."
He blinked, tears glistening in his eyes.
And Penelope couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face.
Actually, Sam was very scared too.
No matter how smart, capable, or clever he was, he was still just a child.
Normal people would be scared when facing death.
Penelope was scared too, she just didn't show it, and Sam was the same, hiding it even deeper.
He was Kelvin's son, after all, possessing a strong ability to manage his emotions!
An ordinary child would have been scared stiff or crying and fussing by now, but Sam remained calm and even tried to exchange himself for Penelope's safety!
"Don't be mad at me, okay?" Sam said, "I just want to save you."
"I don't want you to save me! Go back now, immediately, hurry up! Do you hear me?" Penelope's voice was hoarse from agitation.
Sam shook his head, "No, I have to save you. But I also hope you won't be mad at me."
"You..." Tears blurred Penelope's vision.
"Sam," she knew scolding him was useless, so she softened her tone, "aren't you scared?"
"I'm scared. But I'm more scared of something happening to you."
"I'm also scared something will happen to you, Sam," Penelope replied. "If anything happens to you, I could never forgive myself. How would I explain it to Kelvin, how would I tell Lucy that her brother is gone?"
At the mention of Lucy, Sam's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
He was the older brother, always knowing he had to protect and take care of Lucy.
During their time in LA, he had spent much less time with Lucy.
"I'll try my best to protect myself," Sam said. "Penelope, you have to believe me!"
"No, don't." Penelope shook her head repeatedly, "Sam, I'm begging you, just listen to me this once, go back to your grandparents, okay?"
Her tone was full of pleading.
But Sam remained standing still.
"I won't listen," he replied. "Don't be mad at me, don't ignore me, Penelope, just this once, I won't listen. After this, I'll always listen to you!"
Penelope's heart ached.
It hurt a thousand times more than being in danger herself.
"Sam!" Connor tried to come over and take him away, "Come back!"
Nicole also shouted anxiously, "Yes, Sam, how can you, a child, get involved in adult matters?"
Connor took a few quick steps, only to hear Isabella say, "Stop!"
He had to stop.
Penelope closed her eyes, tears already streaming down her cheeks.
Isabella leaned against the corner of the wall, "Sam, come here."
"Coming." Sam cooperated fully, doing whatever she asked.
Isabella pressed her back tightly against the corner, scanning the surroundings.
Then, she slowly freed one hand, letting it hang by her side.
Seeing that Sam showed no signs of resistance, Isabella quickly grabbed his shoulder and simultaneously pushed Penelope forward!
Just like that, Isabella pulled Sam in front of her.
The knife was now at Sam's neck!
Penelope, pushed forward, stumbled several steps before falling to the ground.
She didn't bother to get up, immediately looking up at Sam, "Sam!"
Her heart was breaking.
Sam's small body made it easier for Isabella to control him.
She squatted down, sitting cross-legged in the corner, the long fruit knife twice the length of Sam's neck!
It looked so terrifying!
"It's okay, " Sam even comforted her, "Penelope, she won't hurt me. Don't cry, wipe your tears, we'll wait for Kelvin together!"
Everyone's hope was pinned on Kelvin.
Only he could turn the situation around and make it safe again!
"Why are you so foolish?" Penelope's tears kept falling, "Sam, if something happens to you, how am I supposed to live the rest of my life?"
Earlier, when Penelope was held hostage, Nicole cried terribly. Now that Sam was held hostage, Penelope cried just as badly.
They were both mothers!
No matter how strong a woman was, seeing her child in danger would break her down instantly, making her panic!
Sam stayed still, letting Isabella control him.
Because he couldn't move, the knife was pressed tightly against his neck, he felt like his skin would be cut open if he spoke.
"I'll try not to let anything happen to me," Sam replied. "Penelope, stop crying, if you keep crying, I'll cry with you."
"How can you make sure nothing happens to you? What can you do?"
Sam paused, "I can't."
He couldn't think of a way, he only knew that by exchanging himself for Penelope, Penelope would be safe.
Penelope felt even more desperate and heartbroken.
Her foolish son, willing to sacrifice himself to save her!
She thought he had come up with some clever plan to escape from Isabella, as Sam always had strange and clever ideas.
But Sam was simply trying to save her!
"Sam," Penelope looked at the knife, feeling like it was cutting into her heart, "you usually don't listen, but why won't you listen this time?"
"Penelope, I'll listen to you from now on, but this time, I can't." Sam's eyes showed determination and courage.
Even if he could start over, he would still make the same choice!
Penelope cried almost to the point of suffocation, "Isabella, let him go, whatever you want, I'll agree to it, name your terms, I'll give you anything! Anything!"
