Chapter 879 – Tavish, Mommy’s got a hook for you.
Fernand looked off-screen at Jesse, and the two had the feeling of being at loggerheads.
“You make the first request.” Jesse responded.
“My demand is simple, how about you send your wife to me and I’ll have the bomb defused immediately?” He looked at Jesse with a smirk.
Jesse didn’t refuse to be surprised by this request.
He substitutes into Fernand’s psyche to make this request as well.
Because by this stage, Fernand had basically given up, and he wanted to spend the last moments of his life with someone he cared about, and that person was obviously Nydia.
“Jesse, you don’t have much time to think about it, because you can wait, but others can’t.”
Just as Jesse was thinking, something happened at the fourth place.
This one was significantly larger than the previous ones, and caused a wider range of effects.
Videos quickly appeared online.
This time everyone became on edge because from the four places, there was no pattern, it was completely mood dependent and very random, which meant that the place you stayed in might not necessarily be safe and might be in danger at any time.
The mall, the neighborhood, the company may not be safe.
The picture on the live pop-ups has turned into a different paradigm.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
[Isn’t it still safer to be on the main road?]
[It seems like it is. It’s not safe indoors instead.]
[I don’t think it’s necessarily, what if the car next to you explodes?]
At a time when people are in a state of panic and they don’t know where to hide anymore, they start to put pressure on Jesse, thinking that Jesse should agree to Fernand’s demands.
That way Fernand wouldn’t keep going crazy and they’d be safe.
And it’s not just the people who are pressuring Jesse now, but the top is pressuring Jesse as well.
Jesse hung up first.
“Mr. Pascall, what now?” The pressure from all sides changed the very nature of the matter.
If Jesse doesn’t say yes to Fernand, then he’ll be spit on.
And it wouldn’t be Fernand but Jesse who would be the target of everyone’s loathing, because it was Jesse’s failure to fulfill Fernand’s demands that caused the tragedy, and wouldn’t everything have been fine if he had done so?
So everyone asked Jesse to fulfill Fernand’s request.
Nydia with her four kids also knows about this and she is also watching Fernand’s live stream.
She also knows that the situation is serious and this she can’t hold back the yo-yo if she doesn’t show up.
Now she is faced with the problem of saving one person and saving everyone.
Sacrificing one person can be exchanged for the safety of everyone, in most of the psychology this is a sure thing.
The day had finally come.
“Mommy!” Tavish called out noticing Nydia’s look of some concern.
“Tavish,” Nydia smiled and stroked his head, “Tavish is the older brother, Mommy knows this is bad for Tavish, but Mommy has no other choice, now Mommy is going to save the world, so it will have to be hard for Tavish to take care of his sister and brothers now.”
Hearing her words, Tavish’s eyes reddened, “No, Mommy!”
“So many people are waiting for Mommy to save them.”
“I don’t care about them, I just want Mommy, Mommy can’t be okay!” Tavish’s voice had choked up and he bit his lip to keep the tears from falling.
Nydia raised her hand and touched his eyes, his tears finally fell, “Tavish, you can cry, you’re still a little kid, you can cry.”
“Mommy promises you that even though Mommy is going to save the world, Mommy will come back safely, okay?”
Tavish shook his head, he knew Fernand was crazy and he couldn’t trust Nydia to come back safely.
“Mommy can’t leave you guys alone, so I’m sure she’ll come back safely!” She held Tavish in her arms and Nydia patted him on the back, “You know, mommy has been training for a while now, being trained mercilessly by daddy, and now mommy is much better than the mommy before, so trust mommy for once okay?”
Tavish was crying so hard he couldn’t speak, his little hands tugging at Nydia’s shirt.
It was at this moment that he really looked like a weak and helpless child, crying with a red nose and snot coming out.
As far as Nydia could remember, except for when he was very, very young, she had hardly ever seen Tavish in such a sorry state, he had always been restrained and understanding, even his image management was top notch.
“Tavish, will mommy hook you up?” She held out her little thumb at Tavish.
Tavish looked at her and then down at her hand and hesitated to extend his, he was scared, scared that if Mommy left, she might never come back.
It had been so hard for him to have a mommy who loved him, and he didn’t want to lose it.
“Don’t you want to pull the hook with me?” Nydia patiently coaxed Tavish.
After hesitating for a long time, Tavish, who had finally built himself up mentally, was finally willing to stretch out his hand to hook up with Nydia.
The two hands of one big and one small hooked together, “Mommy promises that Tavish will definitely come back safely, and by then our family of six will live happily ever after, right?”
Tavish could no longer speak except to nod heavily.
Nydia called Jesse.
Jesse didn’t answer the phone for a while; they both knew exactly what it meant once the call was connected.
Eventually he picked up.
He didn’t say a word.
“Jesse, it’s me, I’ve made my decision, send someone to pick me up.” Nydia said directly.
It took a while for Jesse to speak, “Okay.”
It was just one word, but it took all his strength.
It was hard for him to say, the word hammered into his heart like a jackhammer.
“I’ll go get her.” Instead of letting someone else pick her up, Jesse picked her up himself, so that there was at least one more way to spend time together.
Call Fernand first.
Fernand was still talking on the live feed, pulling things together, and the live feed had reached a horrifying number, showing how many people were following the story.
He picked up Jesse’s phone.
“Fernand, I’ll grant your request.”
“Good, very good, then I won’t detonate that little thing in the mall.” Fernand said with a smile.
His words sent instant chills down the spines of everyone who was in the mall at the moment, subconsciously thinking that it was the mall they were in, and with so many malls, what if it was the mall they were in?
Everyone left the mall in droves, but there were still some who took a chance and didn’t leave.
“You get your wife here as soon as you can, you won’t get a second chance if you try to play tricks on me.” He warned.
Jesse hung up the phone and he drove to where Nydia was.
And at that moment Nydia was teasing her two younger brothers.
“Hi there mangosteen, mango, are you familiar with mommy now? This is brother, this is sister, we are your family.”
“Mommy, the brothers will be so handsome when they grow up!” Molly was forever concerned about face value, she felt that her brother Tavish’s face was already a great one, she wondered what the younger brothers would be like, at least for now they looked great.
“That’s for sure, you’ll all grow up to look great!”
Not long after putting the two boys to bed, Jesse arrived.
