How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 248 - Chapter 248 Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Uncle Olsen looked intently at Jodie South.

After more than twenty years of not seeing each other, they had become the most familiar strangers.

For a moment, no one spoke.

It was still Ellis Olsen who coughed to break the silence in the room, “Mrs. Olsen, why have you come?”

Upon hearing this, Jodie South’s gaze slightly darkened.

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was the Handsome Uncle Keira often mentioned.

Her fingers tightened slightly.

He must have seen Keira’s face, right?

If he knew Keira was her daughter, then he would know…

Just as she thought this, Jodie South’s phone rang. She took it out, glanced at it intending to hang up, but when she saw Keira’s name marked on it, she hastily answered it. Just as she was about to ask where Keira was, she heard an electronic voice from the other end:

“Your daughter is in my hands.”

Jodie South’s pupils shrank suddenly, “What?”

“The location has been sent to you.”

After saying this, the caller immediately hung up the phone.

Jodie South was startled, looking down at her phone, and indeed she saw a GPS location. Seeing that location, Jodie South suddenly became tense!

Because it was on the sea!!

Seeing Jodie South’s suddenly distressed expression, Uncle Olsen thought it was his presence that had upset her and was about to speak, but then he saw Jodie South tremblingly dial the police number: “Hello, I need to report a kidnapping, my daughter has been abducted!…”

As she spoke, she turned sharply and left the room.

Uncle Olsen hesitated not a moment to follow her, immediately asking, “What’s happening?”

Jodie South knew this was not the time for pretense, she immediately turned to Uncle Olsen, “Uncle, you have to help me…”

…

Keira Olsen suddenly woke up.

Her heartbeat raced, and her breathing was rapid!

She gasped heavily, only then realizing she was tied up on a ship!

A faint scent still lingered at the tip of her nose, leaving her mind groggy.

That strange fragrance was a kind of top-grade hypnotic drug; she had no time to react and had been knocked out along with Keera…

This sudden turn of events left her somewhat dazed.

What was happening? Had someone kidnapped them?

Keira Olsen frowned, taking in her surroundings.

Keera was opposite her, handcuffed to an iron pole on the ship, still unconscious on the floor.

Keira Olsen turned her head, only to see her own hands also handcuffed.

Water had already started to seep into the bottom of the ship, and the hull was visibly sinking into the water!!

Through the window, she could see the water surface about to submerge the entire ship, so the air in the cabin was gradually becoming thinner…

If they didn’t escape within a minute, they were going to be buried underwater!

The perpetrator wasn’t after a ransom–it was a murder attempt!

Once she realized this, she immediately turned to look at her own hands.

She then unhesitatingly twisted and broke her finger joints, turning pale with pain as her foggy brain suddenly cleared.

She quickly freed her entire hand from the handcuffs and rushed to Keera’s side, “Wake up, wake up!”

Keera groggily woke up.

Upon seeing the situation in front of her, her pupils contracted, and she immediately shouted, “It’s them, it must be them who have come for us! They want to kill us!”

Keira Olsen looked at her hands, “Who are they?”

Although Keira Olsen had been enslaved by Poppy Hill from a young age and often did hard labor, her hands had become well-maintained and much more slender over the years.

Hence she could free herself from the handcuffs.

But for some reason, Keera’s hand joints seemed thicker, as if hardened by heavy labor, and even by dislocating her joints, she couldn’t free herself.

Keira Olsen could only look around, then spotted a stick, and prepared to break the handcuffs with it!

Keera, in a panic, blurted out tearfully, “I’m already so disgraced, my life is so miserable, why don’t they leave me alone? No, it’s you they’re after, Keira, it’s you… it was me who came looking for you, who led them here… it was me who exposed you!”

Her tears streamed down, sobbing uncontrollably.

Keira Olsen, without pausing to think further, picked up the stick and struck hard on the handcuffs!

“Clang!”

The handcuffs merely bent on the surface but didn’t break.

Keira Olsen raised the stick and struck again!

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The handcuffs were deformed, but no signs of breaking were evident.

Moreover, Keira Olsen, because of exerting herself, started to breathe heavily, struggling for breath.

Keera also found it difficult to breathe.

She looked outside the window to see the entire ship had completely sunk into the water–there was no time left to find a way to escape, or they would surely drown!

Keera immediately turned to Keira Olsen, “Keira, don’t worry about me anymore, get out of here!”

Keira Olsen continued smashing the handcuffs.

Now, to leave, she had to break the ship’s window, but doing so would definitely flood the interior. If Keera’s cuffs remained locked, her escape would mean Keera’s death!

Seeing her state, Keera’s eyes reddened, “Keira, listen to me, just go! I’m scum, trash, not worth saving. If we delay further, both of us will die!”

Keira Olsen frowned upon hearing this, “Why not worth saving? Think about your husband, your children, they’re waiting for you at home!”

“Husband…”

Keera sat despondently on the ship; she chuckled bitterly, “My husband, he deceived me! He cheated, and I can’t even divorce… My life is a failure, it might as well end this way!”

“Shut up!” Keira Olsen, seeing her without any will to survive, sternly said, “What about your daughter? What will Amy do if you die? The mistress swaggering into your house, rightfully taking over, sleeping with your husband, abusing your daughter! Do you trust her with your daughter?!”

These words sparked a fighting spirit in Keera; she sat up straight, “Right, right, I must not die, I still have my daughter… Amy is waiting for me to come home!”

After saying this, she looked at her own hands.

The handcuffs were too sturdy to break.

She bit her lip, then suddenly said, “Keira, smash my hand!”

Keira Olsen was stunned.

Keera then said, “The cuffs can’t be smashed; we’re out of time, you… aim at my wrist, crush it!”

Keera bit her lip hard.

Keira Olsen’s gaze fell on her slender wrists, then she looked back. Water had completely submerged the vessel, water crazily rushing into the cabin, they were about to run out of oxygen.

This might be the only way!!

She clenched her fists tightly.

“Don’t hesitate! Keira, I’d rather lose an arm than let Amy be motherless!”

Keera’s words made Keira Olsen take a deep breath, “…Stretch out your palm.”

Obediently, Keera stretched her palm out on a steel pipe, she turned her head, closed her eyes tremulously…

Keira Olsen reluctantly gripped the rod in her hand, then struck her hand with all her might!

“Bang!”

Keera groaned.

Instead of severe pain at the wrist, only the pinky finger was in excruciating pain…

She looked to find her pinky finger smashed, Keira Olsen grabbed her hand, “crack, crack,” dislocated the joints, then twisted her mangled hand out of the cuffs.

Only her pinky was ruined, but her hand was saved.

It was much better than expected, not causing much inconvenience to her life.

“Get up.”

Keira Olsen said this calmly, then turned and walked to a nearby window.

She looked again at the rod in her hand, found a weak point on the window, and then smashed it with all her strength!

“Bang!”

The glass shattered on impact, and water immediately surged in.

The furniture inside the ship floated and swung towards them. Keira Olsen got several cuts, but in a life-or-death situation, she couldn’t care less, immediately grabbed Keera’s hand, and they struggled to escape through the window!!

Keira Olsen and she swam upwards…

Trying to break the surface…

But just as they were about to see sunlight, Keira Olsen’s strength seemed suddenly drained from her body…

Her vision darkened…

This was terrible!

Keira Olsen gasped inwardly: It was the day for her medication! But being trapped here after so much turmoil, she was certainly suffering from severe iron deficiency anemia…

She tried to make herself stay conscious, but it was no use.

Her body uncontrollably began sinking deeper into the water…

Keira Olsen struggled, trying to reach out for something to grab but caught nothing.

She only saw Keera swimming above, seeming to sense something as she turned back to look.

That gentle face paused when she saw her situation.

A moment of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

But it was only a moment’s hesitation before she made her choice, turned back around, and swam upwards again!

Keira Olsen watched her blankly.

It was supposed to be like this…

They had been under water without oxygen for too long; if Keera turned back to save her, both would die!

She still has a daughter…

Keira Olsen’s lips showed a relieved smile.

She didn’t blame Keera… If blame was due, it was to the mysterious assassin…

Keira Olsen just felt so tired, so exhausted…

She slowly closed her eyes, feeling her body gently sinking in the water…

Sinking…

Suddenly!

A hand tightly clasped her wrist!
