Chapter 1686: Mommy Won't Let Bad Things Happen To You

Jennie was on high alert at the moment. She was closely observing what was happening outside, but the two guards were like plastic models. She almost could not hear their breathing and no one else was coming. They did not reply to any of her questions as well.

Another half an hour passed, and Jennie's expression darkened.

Only they were able to assemble a group of A-rank mercenaries to take a child away from the Manoban family.

There would only be one reason for this. Lisa must have started resisting, and they might have been pushed into a corner, so they wanted to use Leo to threaten the Manoban family.

She had thought of this angle from the start. Since they had demands, she was not really worried that they would hurt Leo.

However, as time passed by, she felt like things were not right.

If they were trying to use Leo to threaten the Manoban family, they should have stated their demands to Father Manoban when they first abducted Leo. Even if they missed the chance, they should have already contacted the Manoban family by now. Their disadvantages would pile up as time went by.

Why did they not contact the Manoban family?

Unless...

She hugged Leo even tighter as she thought of a certain possibility.

After some time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The leader with the letter "K" on his mask was talking to the two guards.

Jennie's sharp eyes saw shock on the face of one of the guards.

What had the "K" said that could cause such a reaction from him?

They did not seem to care that she was here and spoke in a loud voice. Jennie heard a few phrases, "tonight midnight", "it's an order from above", "keep that woman"...

Jennie combined the phrases together and her blood froze.

He had specifically mentioned "keep that woman". What did that mean?

Discard the child?

The sound of footsteps faded away as the leader left and silence returned again.

Jennie could not stop shivering.

"Mommy..." Leo looked at his mother anxiously as he could tell that she was very shaken up by her emotions.

Jennie hugged him tightly. "It's alright..."

It was alright... Nothing bad will happen...

Mommy will not let bad things happen to you!

Jennie did everything she could to calm herself down. Her expression changed the next moment. She clutched her stomach and had a painful expression on her face.

"Mommy?" The calm-looking Leo had a change in expression as well when he saw what happened to Jennie. He looked over in alarm. "What's happened, Mommy?"

Jennie could not say anything. Her body started twitching and she was groaning painfully.

"Mommy!"

The guard on the right side turned around and looked inside when he heard something. He frowned.

As he was about to act, the other guard stopped him. "What are you doing?"

"She..."

"Don't do anything unnecessary," his partner warned him.

The guard hesitated a little, then returned to his post.

After that, Jennie's reaction gradually became stronger. She was rolling around in pain and was knocking her head against the wall. Blood streamed down her face.
