A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 640 Let Them Go

"Yes! It's me!" Christ smiled coldly, "Esther, I never go back on my word, and since you're here, I'll let the kid go. Come on, tie the bomb to Miss Price and let the kid go!"

Esther was scared as she didn't know what Christ was going to do, but seeing that it was him, she had an answer in her mind.

Esther still didn't relax until the men brought the child over and strapped the bomb to her.

Lena hugged his son and whimpered, while Oscar stopped crying when he saw his mom and just leaned in his mom's arms, sobbing obediently. Lena hugged her son tightly and looked at Esther worriedly.

"Lena, I'm fine, don't worry about me!" Esther glanced at her calmly, then turned her gaze to Christ, but he had no intention of letting Lena leave. "Uncle Ball, let them go!"

"Come on men, take them away! Release them in three days!" Christ said in a cold voice, "I will let them go, it's just not the right time. Don't worry, I won't break my promise, they will be safe and sound!" Stunned, Esther turned her gaze guiltily to Lena, "Lena, I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess."

Lena shook her head. She was not worried about herself, but about what might have happened to her son. However, when she saw Esther in this situation, she could only shake her head. Then Lena and her son were taken away.

Subsequently, Christ took a picture of Esther with his phone, looked at his phone with a creepy smile on his lips, and sent the picture out.

Across the ocean, in New York.

Hudson received a photo, where Esther looked aghast and had a bomb strapped to her body.

His heart skipped a beat and he panicked.

"Hudson, what's wrong?" Winnie noticed that something was wrong with his expression and immediately asked with concern.

Hudson didn't answer her but immediately called the number back.

Christ answered the phone with a sneer.

"Let her go!" There were only three words but with ultimate anger.

"Let her go? How is that possible?" Christ sneered and said.

"What the hell do you want?" Hudson's heart fluttered. He stood dumbfounded, clutching the phone with his mind buzzing. Esther had been taken away by his dad, and he dared not imagine what would happen!

"I want you to come back and hand over all the funds you have transferred out!"

"Okay! I'll do it right away; don't you do anything rash. Give Esther the phone, I want to talk to her!" Hudson's head was spinning. Today, everything had happened so unexpectedly that he simply couldn't react. "Well! You can talk to her!" Christ smiled lightly, his eyes showing a treacherous look of determination to get what he wanted.

From what he just said, Esther had learned that he was on the phone with Hudson.

When the phone was placed next to her ear, Esther helloed softly.

An anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the line, "Esther, it's Hudson, is that you?"

"Hudson! It's me!" Esther's eyes moistened instantly when she heard Hudson's voice coming through the phone. It had been a long time since she heard his voice, his voice so distant that it sounded like it was coming from a distant place, so indistinct, yet so real. It was Hudson, and in such a moment, she could feel his concern for her, and her heart was overwhelmed with warmth and guilt. "Hudson, I'm fine, don't worry!"

But when Winnie caught sight of Hudson's anxiety, she could barely stand it.

His worried and torn expression stung Winnie's eyes. At this moment, her heart was so blank that she had no idea what she was supposed to feel!

She knew he was trying to get over Esther, he was trying hard and they even had sex with each other numerous times. Although he was occasionally distracted while embracing her, he was trying to play the role of a good husband. It was just that his heart wasn't fully in her yet.

"Esther, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!" Hudson assured her over the phone and couldn't wait to come back to her right away. "I will work on the formalities for returning home immediately, don't be afraid, Esther! Give him the phone!"

"Hudson, you don't have to come back!" Esther wanted to say something else, but the phone was abruptly taken away by Christ.

He smiled coldly and said to Hudson, "You must transfer the money to my account within twenty-four hours and you're not allowed to inform Elijah or I will kill her!"

"All right!" Hudson couldn't risk Esther's life. "I'll get right on it!"

He hung up the phone and saw Winnie's heartbroken expression, which gave him a pause. But instead of making any explanation, he walked to the other room to make another call.

She watched him keep busy with Esther's affairs, making non-stop phone calls to transfer funds from his account, even selling his fledgling company. Such an expression on his face stung her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She couldn't think so much about it anymore and stood up from the couch. However, she stood up too hard and the corner of the coffee table hit her knee, causing severe pain in her knee. Her tears, not knowing if it was because of this pain, flowed even harder...

She didn't know what had happened, but looking at the worried look on Hudson's face, her heart was overwhelmed with sadness!

They had experienced the transition from marriage to divorce, and then from divorce to remarriage. She knew that everything was because of his so-called responsibility and he had no feelings for her. But when he resolutely took her away from G City, her heart still gradually rekindled the fire of hope, but she didn't expect it to be so painful when the hope was extinguished...

Bug she had tasted "pain" and "suffering" once again!

An acute pain spilled out from her heart! Without thinking so much, she rushed into the study, "Hudson, what happened to Esther?"

Hudson, who was working on his computer, raised his gloomy eyes and said bluntly, "She was kidnapped by my dad and he wants me to transfer back the funds I have transferred!"

It turned out that she had been kidnapped!

"Does my brother know about it?" She asked.

"No!"

"I'll call and tell him!" She said.

"Don't!" Hudson stopped her immediately. "He'll kill her, I can't take that chance!"

"But my brother will be worried!"

"I can't care about that, get out! I'm busy!" His voice was cold!

In his chilly voice, Winnie felt her heart shattered all over...

Returning to her room, she didn't take heed of Hudson's words and dialled Elijah's number. Elijah, who unexpectedly received the call, was a little stunned and also a little surprised. "Winnie, you finally called me!"

"Brother " Before the words were out of her mouth, Winnie had already choked out, "You go save Esther, she's been kidnapped by Christ!"

With a "bang", the door was opened.

Hudson stormed in furiously. "Damn it, who gave you the permission to call?!"

Winnie had seen such an angry expression on Hudson before. That day, when her Grandpa drugged him and he would rather cut his belly than have sex with her, he had the same expression on his face as he did now. Her phone was snatched by him and slammed hard on the ground.

With a "slap", a handprint was added to her face as Hudson yelled at her hysterically, "If anything happens to Esther, I'll kill you!"

To her dismay, she looked at him and felt herself freaking out slowly. Holding her head, she curled up on the bed in her bedroom. Even though she was in such a warm room, she was still shivering with cold... How absurd she was, how ridiculous she was. With trepidation, she watched her tears fall onto her lap, drop by drop in a rush, soon staining her dress.

Hudson was slightly stunned, rushed out of the bedroom, and started making phone calls again. In only twelve hours, he had transferred all the funds to Christ's account, so he made a phone call to tell him, "The money has been transferred to you, let Esther go!"

Christ had checked that the funds had been fully transferred in, so he was emboldened to say to the other end of the phone, "Son, you're still young to compete with me. The only thing that will happen to Esther is death! I want you to live in regret for the rest of your life!"

"You" Hudson shuddered with rage, blood rushing straight to his brain and darkness before his eyes. He struggled to hold on, knowing he wouldn't let Esther off the hook so easily.

It occurred to him that Winnie was right, maybe he should have called Elijah in the first place. Now that he had put it off for so long, he wasn't sure whether it would be too late.

He called Elijah personally, but no one answered. He called countless times, but there was no answer at all.

Then he called Ethel, and when the call was answered, Ethel's voice came over the phone, "Brother, what's up?"

"Esther has been kidnapped by Dad and he's going to kill her. You contact Elijah to save her right away, I'm going back now, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's delayed any longer!" "What? I'm in New York now! How could this happen? Don't worry, I'll call him immediately, and I'll also contact Philip, don't worry!" Ethel hastily hung up the phone.

Hudson turned around and was about to go out, but just as he reached the door, he heard a sorrowful shout behind him, "My brother will save Esther, and it's too late for you to go back!" Hudson stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes, recalling the picture he had just seen of Esther with a bomb strapped to her body, his heart was twitching madly and tearing with pain. No, he had to go back! Esther was in trouble because of him, so he couldn't go back!

When his line of sight came in contact with the handprint on Winnie's face, he faintly froze, and a trace of heartache flashed under his eyes. Raising his head to look at the ceiling, he let out a sigh. "Sorry, I have to go back!"

"Go back as you wish!" Winnie stopped struggling, all she could feel was her heart hurting so badly!

Her face instantly paled, and she felt a twinge of pain in her lower body as a hot stream flowed out between her legs. These days, her period had been late for over ten days and she didn't pay any attention to it, but she didn't expect her stomach to suddenly become so painful.

She stumbled and sat down on the couch, "Hudson, my stomach hurts!"

Hudson glanced at her; he couldn't care anymore as Esther's life was still uncertain. He had to go back, and if Esther died, he wouldn't live alone. He couldn't leave Esther alone.

"I'm sorry!"

Upon leaving these words, Hudson went straight to the airport.

"Hudson-" Winnie called out to him hurriedly but failed to stop his hastily departing footsteps.

Her stomach still hurt so much, it was a pain that could not be described in words and cramped her. This pain even involved her whole body, especially her belly and legs. The tearing pain made her dizzy and beads of sweat sprang from her forehead, followed by a cold sweat that invaded her whole body.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
