I Won't Let You Go

In an instant, Regan's eyes turned cold. Although Regan was silent, Miles didn't intend to let him off. He could even imagine the dark and cold expression on Regan's face right now. "I purposely sent you a gift, but you sent your men to hunt me down. It seems that you're not satisfied with the gift, Regan." When Regan was about to leave the room to avoid Hazel, he heard a sound coming from behind. Turning back to the bed, he saw Hazel was awake and staring at him in a daze. Without changing his expression, he walked over and tucked her in again. Then he stroked her head and motioned that he needed to leave. Hazel only looked at him wordlessly. But the moment Regan turned around, she suddenly hugged his back. She had noticed something. The reason was simple. If the caller wasn't "that person", Regan wouldn't avoid her and straightly answer the phone. Without saying a word, she hugged Regan tightly. Although both of them never mentioned Miles during this period, Hazel knew that Regan would never let Miles go. Regan was afraid that she would recall Valeria's situation and feel sad, so he didn't mention Miles in front of her. However, the silence didn't mean that they had forgotten the past incidents. On the contrary, the wounds in their hearts had yet to heal. Feeling the warmth of her body, Regan sighed silently in his heart. He could never reject Hazel in front of "that person", nor could he forcibly avoid her for fear that she would overthink it. Thus, Regan pressed on the speaker button. "You did it on purpose. You're waiting for me," Regan said coldly. He didn't bring up Valeria as he didn't want to discuss the child's matter with Miles. Miles deliberately sent Valeria back because he had expected that Regan would resort to every means to hunt him down. Just like Regan wished to tear Miles into shreds, the latter must've hated him deeply too. That was why Miles lured Wilson to Blackrock Island. "That's right! You're the only one in this world who deserves to find me!" "What do you want?" Regan asked straightly. "I'm waiting for you at Blackrock island," Miles stated, "If you wish that your subordinates to become shark food, you can choose not to come. However, there's one thing I have to tell you—If you don't come, your subordinates aren't the only ones you'll lose. Since I gave you a present that I've raised for years, you ought to return the kindness." As soon as she heard this, Hazel felt as if her breathing stopped and her heart nearly burst in anxiety. Regan's subordinate... Was Miles talking about Wilson and his men? Indeed, she didn't see Wilson for a long time. She only thought that Wilson was sent out by Regan for a mission. Moreover, the gift that Miles raised for years... At the realization, Hazel felt that her body turned cold and her heart ached painfully. Could it be Valeria? To stop herself from crying out, she quickly covered her mouth. Upon hearing Miles's threat, Regan showed a colder look, "What did you do to Valeria?" Miles answered with a laugh, "I won't give Valeria back to you what easy. All you need to know is that if you don't bring Valeria to see me, you'll lose more than you have. Unless... you don't care about your subordinates' or Valeria's lives! After all, those men are dispensable, and you can't wait to dispose of Valeria as well. I'm sure you're unwilling to take the risk just for that child." "Shut up!" Regan was immediately provoked. Valeria wasn't an object! In particular, he wasn't a tool for Miles to scorn and use. Both he and Hazel knew that Valeria was no different from the other children; he was their treasure. They would protect Eden no matter what. How could someone like Miles understand their feelings? Not only Regan was angered, but Hazel was provoked as well. Her tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes. "Miles..." she called. In an instant, a complicated look appeared in Miles's eyes and his hand that was holding the phone trembled a little. "Hazel." Wiping her tears away, Hazel stated, "I hate you, Miles... In any case, you shouldn't hurt a child because of your grudges! Valeria is our precious child, and we know how much he meant to us. But you... Back then, I thought we could be friends! I even thought that our parting was peaceful... But now, you're my enemy! As a mother, I won't let go of anyone who dares to hurt my children! Since you want to see Regan and Valeria so much... I'll go with them." Regan was stunned. He didn't expect Hazel to say such a thing. However, he also couldn't straightly reject her proposal. At Hazel's words, Miles gave a bitter and self-deprecating smile as he replied in a surprisingly gentle voice, "Very well, I'm waiting for your arrival, too. After all, I haven't seen you for such a long time. You have one week to be prepared." Before Hazel could say anything more, Regan hung up the phone. The next second, Hazel dove into Regan's embrace and wailed bitterly. "Oh, Regan, tell me... Is he telling the truth? Will something bad happen to Valeria if we don't bring him to meet Miles?" Instead of speaking, Regan only held Hazel tighter. Obviously, Miles's deadline was an implication to examine Valeria's body. He sounded so confident as if he was certain that they would definitely go to meet him. As he caressed Hazel's head, Regan comforted her, "Don't be scared... I'm here. I promise I won't let anything happen to Valeria." "Does that mean... your subordinates were all captured by Miles?" "Yes," Regan answered honestly. "Including Wilson?" "Yes." Hazel cried even harder. If something dreadful happened to Wilson, she could never forgive herself. "Oh, Regan, I don't understand... Why wouldn't Miles let us go?"
