Chapter 538 Soren Fell from the Building
Although Nora couldn't bear it, she resolutely refused, "No, we might encounter danger. If you come with us, you will also be in danger."
"I'm not afraid!" Magnus immediately said.
Nora said, "I know you're brave and not afraid of danger, but you will cause us trouble, delay our speed, and affect our rescue of Soren."
Magnus's face instantly darkened, and he became unhappy.
Nora hardened her heart and handed her over to Mortimer's subordinates.
Then she got in the car and had Mortimer drive away.
Although she felt very sorry for Magnus, she was more worried about Soren now and had no time to comfort Magnus.
She could only wait until she found Soren to comfort him properly.
After the car starting. Mortimer's phone kept receiving messages from his subordinates.
Those messages were information about the routes the kidnappers were taking to escape.
Nora held Mortimer's phone, looking at the messages and directing him where to go.
After two hours of searching, the car stopped in an area of abandoned buildings on the outskirts.
Nora and Mortimer got out of the car and walked towards the ruins.
Passing a row of buildings outside, they saw a child hanging from the roof of the row behind.
From such a height, falling would be certain death!
"Soren!"
Nora's vision went black, her body swayed violently, and she almost fainted.
Mortimer quickly reached out to support her, looking up at Soren hanging outside the roof, his face extremely serious.
"Mommy!"
Soren on the roof, hearing Nora's voice, immediately burst into tears, his voice trembling and full of fear.
Nora's heart was breaking.
She immediately shook off Mortimer, lifted her foot, and ran into the abandoned building, quickly running upstairs.
She ran up the dozen or so floors in less than three minutes.
Mortimer couldn't catch up with her.
After Nora got upstairs, she saw several men with black veils standing at the edge of the roof.
"Don't come any closer."
One of the masked men, Connor Lewis, saw Nora still trying to move forward and sternly stopped her.
Another masked man, Herbert Powell, was holding a pair of scissors against the rope that was suspending Soren.
If Nora took one more step, he would immediately cut the rope and let Soren fall!
Nora stopped, clenched her fists tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "My daughter is not even four years old. She can't have any enmity with you. You kidnapped her to target me, right?"
Connor said, "Smart."
Nora said, "I'm here now. Pull my daughter up and let her go. You can do whatever you want with me!"
Soren had been crying so much that his voice was hoarse, and her heart ached terribly.
These beasts, treating Soren like this, they were simply not human!
Connor said, "No, we can't let her go first. You jump off the building first. If you die, we'll pull your daughter up and let her go."
Nora's heart sank suddenly.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Who ordered you to kill me?"
Connor said, "We don't know, and even if we did, we wouldn't tell you."
"Stop talking nonsense and jump quickly."
"We don't have time to waste with you."
"I'll give you three seconds to prepare. If you don't jump, we'll take action against your daughter."
"Today, one of you must die!"
Nora said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll jump, but you must promise that after I jump, you will definitely let my daughter go!"
"Why so much nonsense? If you don't jump, I'll cut it!" Herbert impatiently threatened, deliberately cutting the rope a bit.
Nora's heart tightened suddenly, and she hurriedly shouted, "Don't cut it, I'll jump right away!"
She lifted her foot and walked towards the edge of the roof.
But at this moment, Mortimer rushed up, grabbed Nora, and said in a deep voice, "Nora, don't fall for their trick. Even if you really jump, they might not let Soren go!"
Connor mocked, "If she jumps, we might not let her go, but if she doesn't jump, we will definitely let this little girl die. It's up to you whether you want to gamble."
"I'll give you three seconds to consider."
"After three seconds, if Nora doesn't jump, I'll have someone cut her daughter's rope."
"By then, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
"One"
"Two"
Hearing Connor's words, Nora immediately struggled hard, trying to break free from Mortimer's control.
"Mortimer, let me go. I must save Soren. I can't watch her die!"
Mortimer held her tightly, not letting go no matter how she struggled.
Although Nora had some martial arts training, she was not on the same level as Mortimer.
"Mortimer, don't stop me! If something happens to Soren, I'll hate you for the rest of my life!" Nora cried and shouted.
Mortimer said in a deep voice, "Even if you hate me, I won't let you die."
Connor impatiently said, "Have you decided yet? If you can't bear to let one person jump, then both of you can jump together. If you don't jump, I'll count to three!"
What they wanted most was Nora's life, so they didn't really count to three directly.
Although the employer said that if Nora refused to die, they should kill the little girl to teach her a lesson.
But if they could kill Nora, they would get double the money.
So, Connor gave Nora a chance, giving her a little more time to jump off the building.
"Mortimer, I beg you to let me go. Don't let me have regrets, don't let me hate you!" Nora shouted hoarsely.
Mortimer still didn't let go, dragging her back, farther and farther from the edge of the roof.
Connor angrily said, "I've given you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, I'll kill this little girl first, then kill you two myself!"
"Three!"
"Cut the rope!"
Nora screamed in horror, "No!"
Mortimer shouted angrily, "Alaric, go!"
Their voices almost sounded at the same time.
As Connor's voice fell, Herbert began to cut the rope.
At the same time, Mortimer's men quickly rushed out from the stairwell, swiftly charging towards the kidnappers.
Although the kidnappers had some skills, Mortimer's men were well-trained, and the kidnappers were no match for them.
It didn't take long for Alaric to control the four kidnappers with his men.
The four kidnappers were pressed to the ground, unable to stand up no matter how they struggled.
Nora's eyes were fixed on the rope tied to Soren at the edge of the roof.
At this moment, the rope had been cut, leaving only a piece of rope on top.
Nora's heart contracted violently.
Her Soren had fallen.
From such a high building, Soren had no chance of survival!
She had found Soren, but she hadn't saved her.
The huge blow made Nora's vision go black, and she fainted directly.
