The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 777

The man shook his head honestly while trembling all over.

Cedrick’s gaze darkened at once, and he heard the man say, “My boss didn’t say if she was a hostage, but he treated the woman nicely. Today, he left all of a sudden. Before he left, he told me to bring that woman to a tree hollow on top of the mountain and leave her there. When I came back down, I found out they had left me behind. Mr. Jenson, I’m merely an errand runner. I don’t know anything. Heck, I don’t even know who that woman is. I’m telling the truth…”

That means they had indeed kept someone at the top of the mountain. Why did Joe leave her behind and flee? I don’t get it… Since there’s someone up there, I ought to check it out.

Cedrick didn’t bother questioning him further. He gave the man’s head a nudge with the gun and ordered, “Keep moving. Lead me there.”

“Y-Yes!”

As they approached the top of the mountain, the well-trained troops spread out and proceeded ahead to secure the area.

The man then led Cedrick to an old tree. Swain went ahead to remove the twigs and branches to reveal a tree hollow.

There and then, they saw a weak-looking woman with her eyes shut, limbs bound, and mouth sealed with tape. At that moment, she looked as though she was in a lot of pain.

Although the woman had dirt all over her face, one could tell by the exquisite facial features that she was none other than Gwendolyn.

“Gwenny!”

Cedrick was overwhelmed by emotions, and seeing her again made him tear up a little. He hastily carried her out of the tree hollow and gently lay her on the grass before removing the tape over her mouth.

Gwendolyn’s eyelashes fluttered as she gradually regained consciousness. Afterward, she leaned on his shoulder weakly and held his collar. “Hubby, I’ve waited for you for a long time…”

Her voice was hoarse instead of melodious.

Cedrick’s eyes brimmed with tears. He was so heartbroken that he was having trouble breathing. “I’m so sorry, Gwenny. This is all my fault.”

Gwendolyn twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard that. Right when she was seemingly about to comfort him, she fainted.
