Chapter 396
Dominic gently touched the little boy’s round head, then turned to the doctor.
“Why is he this weak p>
The moment the question left his mouth, Dominic realized how pointless it was.
If the child hadn’t been this weak, would Chris have hidden him for so long?
It had been a year. Judging by his condition, the little boy probably didn’t even have the strength to stand.
Then Dominic suddenly remembered that Chris had once said he needed Skyla’s bone marrow. At the time, Chris hadn’t said who it was for.
Now, looking at Harvey, Dominic had his answer.
“He needs a bone marrow transplant, doesn’t he p>
Dr. Lucas nodded. “Yes, and we don’t have much time p>
“Skyla’s bone marrow is still the only match? There’s no other donor p>
Dr. Lucas nodded heavily.
Dominic frowned, his expression grave. He held the bottle with one hand and supported the little boy’s head with
the other.
Skyla had been rescued, and now Winter had been taken.
This time, Chris had to bring Skyla back and rescue Winter too.
At that thought, Dominic couldn’t help looking at the little boy with an ache in his chest. Harvey was still drinking from the bottle, but he was already so tired he was about to fall asleep.
A gust of wind blew past.
The moon slipped halfway out from behind the clouds, spilling pale light over the mountain. Thin fog drifted over the peaks, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains rose and fell one after another.
Winter was pushed forward. The ground was covered in loose gravel, and her foot slipped. She had just managed to steady herself when Fabian grabbed her arm.
He turned his head and scolded the guard in a low voice. “Don’t be so rough with Ms. Scott. What’s wrong with walking a little slower p>
Winter yanked her arm free.
Fabian didn’t seem to mind. “If Chris hadn’t sealed off every exit out of Liono City, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this, Ms. Scott p>
“You kidnapped me to use me against Chris,” Winter said. “But it’s dark, and the road is slippery. If I misstep and fall off a cliff, all your effort tonight will be wasted p>
Earlier, she had heard the person on the phone tell Fabian that Skyla had been rescued.
She didn’t understand. Wasn’t Skyla being protected by Chris? Why did she need to be rescued?

It seemed things had happened without her knowing. And she hadn’t known Skyla was connected to the border factions either.
Fabian smiled after hearing her words.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Scott. I won’t let you fall off a cliff.” He pointed to one of the guards. “Ms. Scott is too delicate for this kind of road. Carry her p>
“Yes, Boss Kane p>
Seeing the guard step forward, Winter knew they were serious. She immediately said, “I won’t let myself fall p>
This was just Fabian’s way of forcing her to behave.
Fabian’s smile deepened. “How sensible of you, Ms. Scott p>
They couldn’t keep walking like this forever. Back at the docks, she had heard the sound of car engines. She didn’t know whether it was William’s people or Chris’s.
Fabian was trapped in Liono City now. He had to have another way out.
Winter quietly decided to probe for information.
“How much longer are we going to walk p>
Fabian walked beside her at an unhurried pace, as if they were taking a nighttime stroll through the mountains.
“I won’t let you suffer for too long, Ms. Scott. A helicopter will be here to pick us up soon p>
Winter’s heart tightened.
She looked toward the endless mountains.
This area was near the place where she had once been kidnapped, not far from the grave of the girl named Elsa Lowe.
But farther out, they would soon leave Liono City’s jurisdiction.
Once the helicopter arrived, she would have no way to escape.
