Chapter 157 Your Biological Children
The tide continued to rise, and a big wave came crashing over Ryan's head. He coughed violently from being choked by the seawater.
Antonio swam even faster, thankful that the water here wasn't deep.
That damn Tim! How dare he risk Ryan's life, leaving him alone here?!
If I can't make it in time, Ryan will drown! This time I will definitely not spare Tim!
Antonio quickly untied the rope and carried the child back to the shore.
Both of them were soaked. Ryan's hair kept dripping water while the sea breeze blew, causing him to shiver in the cold. His teeth chattered, and his lips were as pale as his face.
Fortunately, he didn't get sick. His little hands held onto Antonio's clothes tightly, still in shock.
Antonio held him in his arms, ready to take him back.
At this time, the little one in his arms trembled and whispered, "Little brother, little sister..."
The bad guys took the little brother and little sister somewhere else, maybe they were thrown into the sea like me. They are in danger and must be rescued quickly!
Antonio understood what he meant, a hint of complexity flashed across his face, and he said softly, "Don't worry. They're fine."
He had imagined confronting the kidnappers before he came.
But it was only Ryan there, and there was no sign of the kidnappers at all.
Antonio felt like he might have been played by Tim.
Perhaps… the same situation was happening on the other side.
Moreover, he had already sent people to rescue the two children, and there were many staff members, so they would be fine.
Thinking this way, Antonio felt slightly relieved. He carried the child into the car and took him back to the hotel first.
…
Meanwhile, Brian found a new approach. He remotely accessed a vast trove of surveillance footage from both inside and outside the hotel, managing to uncover crisp images of the kidnappers' faces.
Utilizing facial recognition technology, he swiftly identified them as a group of seasoned criminals, with the mastermind being an individual Antonio had helped convict three years prior.
Upon learning this revelation, Sarah's expression darkened further.
It became evident that this kidnapping was specifically orchestrated to target Antonio!
It was somewhat acceptable for the kidnappers to take Ryan, but her children were innocent!
Last time, her children had almost had an accident because of Antonio.
And this time, it was because of him again!
Antonio, Antonio…
She wished she could erase this damn name from her life completely!
Sarah turned around and rushed out of the room, ready to find Antonio.
Beside her, Alex's face also darkened, and his inner worries grew. He worried that something would happen to the children and also worried that Sarah would act impulsively and recklessly.
The two of them left the room and reached the corridor. At that moment, Antonio happened to come back carrying Ryan.
Upon seeing this, Sarah's body first froze, and then a mix of inquiry and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
Did Antonio just rescue his son? Then, where are Ethan and Harper? Why aren't they together?!
Sarah quickened her pace, wanting to ask Antonio why he went to save someone without informing her.
But Lisa, who had already received a notification, was waiting at the door and greeted him first. "Antonio, you saved our son!"
"Come here!" Lisa exclaimed with joy as she saw Ryan. She was relieved that Antonio made the final decision to save their son and not the two illegitimate children.
Lisa caught a glimpse of Sarah, and she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Our son will be fine. Antonio, thank you for choosing to save our son!"
As soon as those words were uttered, Sarah's face turned extremely ugly. What did Lisa just say? The word "choice"!
Sarah wasn't foolish and immediately guessed what was going on.
Antonio bringing back his son proved that he knew the location. And combined with Lisa's words, it was obvious... the kidnappers made Antonio choose between Ryan and her two children.
In the end, Antonio chose to save his and Lisa's child, abandoning my children! He didn't even inform me! Was he afraid I would hinder him from saving his own son?
Sarah clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes almost bursting with rage. She stared at Antonio as if wanting to tear him apart with her gaze. She used to hate Antonio for betraying her, for being irrational and causing trouble, but all that couldn't compare to the anger she felt in her heart at that moment.
Sarah's raging fury clashed with her sanity, and she was on the verge of breaking down and going mad.
Alex heard everything, and his reaction was no less than Sarah's. His usual gentle and sophisticated demeanor disappeared, replaced only by anger and condemnation.
Antonio had intentionally hidden the truth from Sarah and made the decision on his own? Even if he didn't know that Ethan and Harper were his own flesh and blood, he couldn't exchange the lives of other children for his own!
Antonio's expression changed the instant he heard Lisa's words. He first showed anger, then worry. He had been worried that Sarah would do something foolish, so he hadn't told her the news.
But now that she knew and her gaze was filled with hatred, she must have misunderstood!
Antonio handed Ryan to Lisa and walked forward, wanting to explain to Sarah and tell her that he had everything arranged. Just then, his phone rang.
For some reason, Antonio felt a sense of unease. He took out his phone and saw that it was James calling.
"How is the situation?" Antonio's low voice carried with it a sense of worry, and his heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
Did James succeed in rescuing Sarah's children? But why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Before he could say anything, he heard James' panicked voice from the other end. "Sir! Something's wrong! We couldn't find the kidnappers, but the chemical factory exploded... The two children are still inside!"
The hallway fell into complete silence. Everyone present heard the voice from the phone.
In an instant, Sarah trembled violently, her face pale as paper. Her heart shattered in an instant, throbbing with unbearable pain. She struggled to breathe, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Ethan, Harper... They can't be dead!
At that moment, Antonio froze, an unprecedented look of shock crossing his stern face. He couldn't utter a single word. How could he have never anticipated that things would turn out like this?
At that moment, Alex could no longer contain himself and charged straight at Antonio, landing a fierce punch—his hatred for Antonio had reached its peak!
He put all his strength into that punch and roared, "Bastard! They're your own children, and you didn't even save them!"
