Amber Knight opened the door.

It was too fast that even Brent could not react to it.

At the moment when the door opened.

A familiar figure appeared.

“Jack!”

Amber could not control herself anymore and directly went into Jack’s arms with tears on her face. She

grabbed Jack’s waist tightly with both of her hands and said, “I am so scared, really scared.”

Jack smiled weakly and said, “I am sorry, it’s my fault.”

Amber bit her red lips and shook her head while crying.

When Brent and Lone Wolf saw Jack, they sighed and were relieved simultaneously.

They finally could relax on the matters now.

Although Jack was battered and exhausted at that moment.

He looked ragged and his clothes were full of blood and mud. Even his arms and head had wound with

fresh blood oozing out.

But, eventually he was back alive.

“Young master, please come in quickly.”

Brent had a serious expression and said hurriedly.

Amber did not want to let go of Jack because it seemed like Jack would disappear if she let go of her

hands.

Only after experiencing life and death, she realized how important Jack was to her.

Jack smiled helplessly and could only walk into the house with Amber in his arms.

Brent looked at the corridor to ensure that no one was there.

After that, he closed and locked the door.

Meanwhile, Lone Wolf closed all the windows in the room and covered them with curtains.

“Young master, did you escape by yourself?”

Brent was surprised.

There was no any news from the Hughes family at this time so it was definitely not the Hughes family’s

power to assist him in escaping from death.

It could only be Jack who rescued himself.

Jack took over the towel from Lone Wolf and covered the wound on his head. He nodded and said

weakly, “I found something fishy at the halfway because the car drove directly to the suburbs. Those

were fake polices sent by the Quinn family.”

“I fought with the fake polices intensely in the car, making the car turn turtle so I took the chance to run

into the forest nearby. I hid myself along the way and finally got to run away luckily.”

His tone was calm.

Even his words were short and simple.

But, these words made Amber and the others feel frightened.

With these few sentences, three of them were able to imagine the terrifying scene which was life-

threatening.

The wound on Jack’s body also verified how dangerous it was at that moment.

“Good to see you coming back, as long as you come back safely.”

Amber hugged Jack from the beginning to the end and said while crying, “I can lose everything except

you. Previously, you promised to take our wedding photograph with me and marry me.”

Jack gave a gentle smile, “fool, I am back here alright, right?”

Amber’s eyes flickered blankly.

Brent who stood aside said, “I accompany the young master to deal with his wound at the hospital first.

I will also contact the office of the Hughes family immediately. With the Hughes family, the Quinn family

does not dare to do anything for sure.”

While saying, Brent looked at Lone Wolf and said, “Lone Wolf, you protect Amber.”

Lone Wolf nodded seriously.

Jack did not reject and comforted Amber before leaving with Brent.

Now Jack had escaped back.

The Quinn family also completely lost the initiative.

The situation was reversed.

With the power of the Hughes family, the Quinn family could never touch Jack in Haya.

“Amber, nothing will happen.”

Lone Wolf noticed that Amber kept looking at the door so he comforted her.

Even though Brent and Jack had left with the door closed, Amber’s eyes were still focusing on the door.

While looking at the door, Amber’s eyes had tears and they looked deep.

She recovered after listening to Lone Wolf’s words and nodded. She said, “Lone Wolf, Jack called me a NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

little dummy all the time but not a fool.”

Lone Wolf was stunned.

He laughed afterwards, “No need to be confused with it. Young master escaped from danger tonight

and he is still in tension. It is inevitable that he called you wrongly.”

“Really?”

Amber was puzzled in her heart but then laughed at herself, perhaps she was frightened just now,

making her too sensitive now.

...

“Hmph.”

There was a weak moan in the dark.

Jack opened his eyes slowly and discovered that he was in a pitch dark.

He could see nothing.

He felt severe pain on his head and body.

Where was he ?

Jack was puzzled in his heart and tried to move his arms as well as legs. He noticed that the space for

movement in the surrounding was extremely limited.

And, he was lying curled up.

“A box?”

Jack thought of a possibility.

Although the movement was restricted, he still could slightly move his arms and legs.

He slowly moved his hands to his head.

In his memory, his head was injured the most before fainting.

If treatment was not given, perhaps he would be dead due to excessive loss of blood.

When his hands touched his head, he was stunned.

His head was wrapped with a thick piece of gauze!

Did someone treat him?

Jack was curious.

In the dark, he could see nothing but his mind was working fast.

But, he discovered that his mindset was uncontrollable in a dark and cramped space.

His mind was thinking of fear, nervousness and panic.

He was taking a deep breath to try his best in controlling himself.

Where were they going to send him?

Why did the Quinn family not kill me directly after they caught me, but instead gave me treatment and

gave me an opportunity to survive?

What was the motive of the Quinn family?

There were lots of doubts appearing in his mind.

But, he could not find any answers in this kind of surrounding.

Even... he did not know how long he had been in a coma.

There was deep silence outside.

There was a vague sound of breeze also.

Jack smelled and discovered that the breeze was damp as well as fishy.

“Is this... sea breeze? Am I on the sea?”

He woke up suddenly because when he had a walk on the beach with Amber previously, the breeze

had the same smell.

“You guys, where are you going to send me?”

Jack was worried and fearful of the unpredictable future so he struggled desperately regardless of

anything.

Bump...

The wooden box was shaken violently due to his struggle and produced many bumping sounds.

During his struggle, he felt that he was at a higher location. It was because with his struggle, he could

clearly feel that the box was getting more inclined.

Perhaps... He could break the wooden box if the box fell from there.

While thinking, he struggled desperately.

The limited space in the box was not enough for him to break the box.

But, it should be enough by falling from such a high place.

About how high the location was and what were his consequences of falling down.

Those were not the things Jack could consider in that situation.

But.

Bang!

There was a huge sound outside the wooden box.

Jack stopped his struggle suddenly.

He could feel that the inclined box was slowly being placed in a proper position.

Meanwhile, there was a scolding outside there.

“You are really strong and only fainted for five hours before waking up. Don’t simply move. It is the sea

below you and if you fall down, you will sink into the sea.”

Jack was stunned and immediately asked, “Hey, where are you going to send me?”

“Bring you to a place that you will never think of and found by the Hughes family.”

The guy smiled and followed by giving an order, “You guys come here and tie this box properly. If it falls

halfway, don’t blame me for killing you all.”

Dong!

Then, he heard that the wooden box was knocked twice by someone.

The guy suddenly laughed.

“You can rest in peace because someone will take over everything you have. I also heard that your

fiance is still a great beauty, hahaha...”
