Chapter 138 - 138. Request

"If you don't and you are still adamant..." Anna said hanging while pressing the sharp object against her skin and at the same time a red liquid started to come out of it.

Seeing that, both Carlos and Elena, panicked.

"Madam..." Carlos immediately took a step but stopped again because Anna was pressing the sharp object against her skin.

"YOU HEAR ME? I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT MY OWN LIFE."

"ALLOW ME TO GO OR..."

"O-okay madam, but get the knife out of your hands first," said Carlos who finally obeyed Anna's words.

"Are you serious? You let me out?" asked Anna in a lower voice than before, her eyes scanning the man and Elena in turn.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Yes, madam. We will accompany you to find Dave and the babysitter," said Carlos, glancing at Elena, the woman only gave a nod.

"Okay, then let's go now," said Anna without taking the knife from her hand.

"B-but the knife Madam..." Carlos said hanging.

"I won't let go, leave this thing with me. I can't trust you two," Anna interrupted immediately.

"Who knew you guys could just drag me and lock me in the room after I let go of this knife," she added.

Hearing the woman's words, a rough sigh escaped Elena's and Carlos' lips almost at the same time.

"All right, it's up to you madam," now it was Elena's turn to speak up.

"Then let's go now," said Anna again starting to walk past the two maids who looked scared next to her.

"You'd better wear some thick clothes, Madam. The night wind is not very good for your health," said Elena as she followed Anna from behind.

"Do I seem to care about my appearance right now?" sarcastically Anna while turning her body to face Elena.

"B-but madam..."

"Alright, wait for me a minute. I'll change the clothes, I'm wearing," said Anna cutting Elena's sentence and again changing her direction, walking towards the room. And that managed to make Carlos and Elena look at each other.

To be honest, this wasn't the way Anna had planned before. Though she had a very well-thought-out plan in her head and was about to start moving tomorrow morning. But she never expected that there would be an opportunity like this.

Even though she had prepared everything, she planned to disguise herself as a maid so she could get out of this mansion tomorrow morning. But now she seemed to be using it as a backup plan if she didn't manage to escape tonight from Carlos and Elena's watch.

Whereas the reason why she suddenly obeyed Elena's words to wear thick clothes was not because she was being obedient. She just wanted to go back to her room to get her things and put them in a small backpack that always accompanies her everywhere.

Elena who followed Anna also could only wait at the door because the woman locked the door from the inside.

Until a few minutes had passed, a 'tick' sound was heard and in the next second Anna's figure showed herself perfectly behind the door in a knee-length white fur coat, with a matching colored scarf wrapped around her neck. It was a suit that was perfect for this rainy season, as well as a small backpack hanging from her back.

"I'm ready, come on," said Anna, holding the same knife in one hand as before.

"O-okay," said Elena nodding and then slightly shifting her body so that Anna could pass.

Anna didn't give any response, she was trying to put on a pathetic expression as usual as possible so that the two figures who were with her wouldn't suspect the slightest bit.

"You two, don't worry, I won't tell Brian this," Anna said as they had just entered the elevator.

"Besides, I wouldn't do anything that guy doesn't want me to either. I just wanted to find my son, staying at home when I found out he was missing made me unable to calm down," Anna added again with one breath.

"I hope you two understand my feelings as a mother."

Carlos and Elena didn't give any response, the two figures just stood behind her. No one knew what was going on in their minds.

Through the lobby of the mansion, a moment later they had exited the luxurious building. A black limousine was parked right in front of the door, apparently waiting for them.

"Please madam," said Carlos who suddenly stepped a little faster and opened the door for her.

Anna just nodded, but before entering, she took the time to count the cars lined up behind the car she was going to ride. A little more than her son's escort this afternoon.

Suddenly Anna became curious about the number of bodyguards that this bastard had.

Without waiting any longer, she got into the car, followed by Elena and Carlos. Since the first time the four-wheeled vehicle started moving, Anna never took her eyes off of anything she passed, including the presence of a guard post at the gate as Carlos had told her this afternoon.

"Where did they go?" Asked Anna breaking the silence in the car, pretending to forget what Elena had said earlier.

"A-amusement park madam."

Hearing this, Anna immediately took a shaky breath.

"What's the time now?" she asked again.

"Eight o'clock ma'am," Carlos replied after glancing at the clock on his wrist.

"What time does the amusement park close?"

"Usually ten o'clock madam."

"I hope they're okay," said Anna.

"Has there been any news from the bodyguards?"

"They've found traces of my son and Naila, right?" Anna asked repeatedly.

"Last information we received, they disappeared at a different time Madam, and that caused the bodyguards to split up into groups to look for their whereabouts. That's why the search took a while," Elena explained quietly.

"They've been around the amusement park three times but the results are still the same, madam. So this afternoon I asked them to expand the search area," she added.

"So-so you mean, My son got separated from the babysitter?" Anna stuttered with an expression that seemed to show that she simply couldn't accept the fact that Elena had just said.

"Forgive us, madam," replied Elena, looking down.

Anna took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, trying to be as relaxed as possible.

"Should we just ask the police for help?"

"NO."

"DON'T MYSTERY," Elena and Carlos responded at the same time, even their voices sounded higher than usual.

"S-sorry. I mean, we can't do that, Madam, because as far as I know the case of missing persons can only be reported and handled by the police when it has reached twenty-four hours," said Elena immediately normalizing her voice, looking a little awkward at the beginning of the sentence.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Anna's brow furrowed faintly. 'Why is their response so exaggerated and so unusual?'

"Really? Is it like that?" Anna asked to be sure.

"That's right madam," Carlos now answered.
