"Now it's just the hair. Next, it can be anything from her body." The boy smiled and snapped his finger. The man in the room got his meaning, slipping the dagger against Savannah's pale face until the dagger reached her ear.
The blade was pressed tightly against her earlobe as if it would be cut off the next moment.
Nicolo gasped, glancing at the boy, who was so ruthless at such a young age. No wonder he was brought up by the godfather.
Dylan's face was still immovable, but the pupil of his eyes contracted slightly. It indicates that despite his calmness, he was furious.
The boy kept his eyes fixed on Dylan. He was about to give his next order when Dylan interrupted him fiercely.
"Enough!"
"Oh, so why didn't you admit that you care about this woman just now?" The boy smiled triumphantly:
"Don't talk nonsense. You tied her up and hurt her because you wanted to get back at me. I'm standing here in front of you, and you'd better deal with me instead of embarrassing an innocent woman," Dylan snapped.
The boy laughed, and suddenly he lowered his voice, showing scarcely suppressed anger. "But I believe you'll be more painful to see your beloved woman bleed, right?"
Dylan's eyes darkened.
He had been trying to remember when and how he had offended the boy. But he still couldn't figure it out.
Had he offended too many people before? Or did he hurt a lot of people in the business world?
But now, the boy's words gave him a suspicion.
The boy would rather hurt his enemy's beloved person than kill his enemy directly… Could it be that the person the boy loved had been hurt or died because of him?
So, the boy wanted to let him taste the same pain.
The boy was 13 or 14 years old at the most. The person he loved couldn't be his lover, so they could be the elders, such as his parents.
If so, it made perfect sense.
The boy believed that he had killed his parents, so he had kidnapped Savannah.
He really couldn't remember who his parents were and what kind of problems he had with them.
Now it was not the time to think about it.
The boy wasn't ready to let Savannah off. He wanted to torture Savannah slowly and let him watch his beloved woman die in front of him.
"Wait a minute," he said briefly when the boy signaled the man in the room.
"What's it? You want to beg me to forgive her?" The boy raised his eyebrows.
Dylan knew it was useless to beg him.
Though he was only a boy, he was crueler than most of the a.d.u.l.ts.
"Even if you want to kill her, at least give her a chance to make the last phone call to our child. He will be sad if something happens to his mother," he said quietly.
The boy paused and did not expect him to put forward such a request.
Dylan continued, "She wouldn't be at ease if she dies without a word to her son. Just satisfy the last wish of the innocent woman who will die because of the bad blood between us."
The boy touched his nose, and a complicated light came into his eyes. Finally, he ordered something to the man next to him in a cold voice.
Dylan narrowed his eyes and knew he must have guessed rightly.
The boy was indifferent to anyone and everything but was extremely s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to family affection. His attitude softened when he asked him to give Savannah the last chance to talk with Kaiden on the phone.
It seemed that the boy was avenging his father or mother.
Brent walked up to Dylan with a cell phone and growled, "Don't play tricks. Otherwise, she will die right in front of you."
Dylan took the phone and dialed Kaiden's number.
The phone call was answered, and a soft child's voice came through the phone, "this is Kaiden, who's that? "
The boy's innocent, sweet voice echoed in the cold and depressing warehouse, and everyone heard it.
"It's me," Dylan said calmly, "want to speak to your mommy?"
"Daddy!" Kaiden sounded very happy and excited, "Yes, I missed mommy a lot!"
Brent handed the phone to the man who came out of the room. The man took the phone and walked back and placed it against Savannah's ear.
Savannah didn't know why Dylan called Kaiden now. Did he think the boy would kill her, and he gave up?
He was not a man who compromised easily... Was it impossible to save her?
But when she heard Kaiden's voice, she couldn't think of anything else. She was choked by tears and unable to say a word.
"Mommy, are you there? Kaiden misses you! Why don't you speak?" Kaiden wondered.
"Well, mommy misses you too. Did you listen to grandpa when mommy's not beside you?" Savannah smiled through tears.
"Of course, I've always been a good boy! Don't forget to bring me toys when you and daddy get back." Kaiden giggled.
Savannah, holding back her tears, nodded, "Sure. We'll come back soon."
Then Kaiden said in a hurry, "Mommy, grandpa's going to take me to the park. I must go, and I'll call you when I get back. Kiss me!"
Though there were so many people watching her, Savannah was not shy at all. For fear that there would be no more chance again, she made a kiss sound and said good-bye to Kaiden. After hanging up, she could not help her tears anymore.
Meanwhile, the boy's eyes flashed with an unknown emotion as he watched Savannah.
If his mom and dad were still here, would he be as happy as the little boy over the phone?
It must be the happiest moment to be loved and petted by parents.
Brent noticed that his young master secretly clenched his slender fingers as if trying to suppress something.
Only he knew what the boy was thinking.
Dylan, who had been watching the boy's reaction, let out a slight sigh of relief.
