"It is close to lunch time now yet he hasn't come home. Where did the old man go?" Daisy mumbled to herself while feeding Charlotte.
"Grandma, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet? He said he would bring me a little cake." Charlotte was looking around.
Daisy took out her cell phone and was about to call Solomon when her cell phone rang. "Where have you gone, old man?"
But it was not Solomon, but a female voice that sounded at the other end of the phone. The voice could not be more familiar, as it belonged to Samantha. "Is this Mrs. Hart?"
"Why is it you who answer? Where is that old man of mine?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Hart? Ronald has abducted Summer and wanted her to get an abortion, and then donate bone marrow. Now your husband is taking me hostage to demand Ronald to release Summer. We are on the hospital rooftop..."
Daisy's face turned pale, and she almost fainted upon hearing this, her chest heaving and her hand holding the phone shivered.
Ronald abducted Summer and wanted to end her pregnancy, while Solomon took Samantha hostage. Daisy felt the blood from all over her body rushing up t o her head, her vision turning dark and nearly passing out.
When she dialed Solomon’s number again, a female voice told her that the number was unreachable.
Worried and frightened, Daisy's blood pressure spiked. She dialed Summer’s number with her trembling hands and the call was connected.
Hearing Summer’s voice, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief, her blood pressure dropping slightly. "Are you abducted by Ronald, Summer? Tell me the truth."
"Yeah, but I have been rescued now. Don't worry, Mom." Summer’s voice was weak.
"But your dad, after knowing that you were abducted, went to the hospital. He is taking Samantha hostage now. He still doesn't know that you have been rescued. Okay, I know, I will go to the hospital now."
Solomon might take Samantha hostage, threatening her verbally, but other than that, he did nothing else to hurt her, not even tying up her.
He just threatened her that if Ronald did not let Summer go, and if Ronald harmed the baby in Summer's womb, he would push Samantha down the building.
But that was just a threat. Solomon had done nothing like that, and even what he was doing right now was a desperate reaction. He could not contact Mark and was afraid of angering Ronald, who might harm Summer even quicker if he called the police.
So he had no choice but to take Samantha hostage, force Samantha to call Ronald, and demand Ronald to let Summer go.
Samantha could see that Solomon would not carry out the threat; his purpose was just to get Ronald to release Summer.
A person who could sacrifice so much for an adopted child showed that Solomon was a kind man.
