Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 633



Gregory wasn't in the mood to engage in conversation.

Dailey knew his friend was upset.

Even if Jane had approached him just to deliver a message, the closeness of their interaction was undeniable.

"You need to brace yourself for Ramona Jane's passing. She won't take it well."

Gregory stared into the seemingly endless darkness ahead, his deep eyes almost swallowed by the night, deep and melancholy.

He had thought, under those circumstances, that maybe the child wouldn't survive. That would have made it easier to speak up.

But after seeing the video, knowing the child was still there, because she wouldn't have communicated in such a manner otherwise, Gregory couldn't help feeling a bit helpless.

...

I still ate the food Mark had brought me.

I could handle the hunger, but the baby couldn't.

I had no choice but to trust that Mark hadn't poisoned the meal.

"The water's safe too."

Seeing me choke and struggle to swallow, Mark poured me a glass of warm water.

"If I wanted to harm the kid, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. We have a doctor on board; you don't need to be so wary of me."

If I trusted him completely, I'd be a complete fool.

"Where are you taking me?"

I asked after I had my fill.

Mark cleaned up the dishes without answering.

But seeing him leave the room, I couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Looking out the window again, everything was pitch black.

I wondered if Gregory could understand my message.

I had to laugh at the thought of him getting jealous over the video, but my reflection in the window looked bitter.

The moment Lucius found out, he rushed to report to Gregory.

"It's the Norman family's territory. We can't get in."

Gregory, hands in his pockets, gazed at the distant sea.

Rocks surrounded an island flying a flag, the very signal Jane had sent him.

"Gregory, Samuel's on the phone again."

Gregory waved it off.

Lucius got the hint and hung up.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

But Samuel was persistent, sending a message.

[Join me, and I can have my men let you through right now. You'd catch up to her in no time.]

It was midnight. If they couldn't find her by dawn, anything could happen within that time.

Lucius tentatively suggested, "Maybe we should just agree for now, rescue her, and then figure out the rest later."

Dailey disagreed, "It's easy to board

that pirate ship but not so easy to leave. After all, Samuel is a mafia boss around here. Forcing a conflict would make it hard to escape." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Lucius was feverish and couldn't think of a better solution.

That's when Gregory spoke up, "Is that the Jordan family's territory across the water?"

Lucius looked over and immediately checked the insignia.

It was indeed theirs.

But what good would that do?

The Jordan family had no dealings with them and wouldn't allow passage.

"Find a way to contact them. Say we can help them take down the Norman family and become the new bosses here."

Lucius, still feverish and a bit slow to respond, was incredulous. "Gregory, the Norman family's current boss,, Samuel, might seem a bit off,

they've been a powerhous

for

years. Their long-standing rivalry with the Jordan family shows they have considerable strength." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"And boarding Jordan's ship might not be any easier to get off of."
