Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 Rescue

In the end, Soren threatened, “You better not hurt my son. If he’s hurt in any way, it’s either you or me that’ll live!”

Walter did not take it to heart as he left the prison soon after, but his mind was unsettled when he entered the car. Now that Eunice’s name was tarnished, he could not afford to lose his company as well.

As a result of contemplation, he decided to check on the child. “To the apartment.” Little did he know that he was being trailed by Edward and his men. Soon, they arrived at a neighborhood that came with good security measures.

Stunned momentarily, Edward soon collected himself while reasoning that it could be the place where the child was being held captive.

As he watched Walter getting out of the car, Edward appointed a bodyguard a task. “You, follow them and check whether he’s going to Evan’s son.”

A couple of moments later, the bodyguard returned and reported, “He is meeting Evan’s son, Mr. Jackson. It’s the child we’ve been after for the last two days. The boy’s here.”

A pang of regret hit Edward as he did not expect the child to be here either. Their search stretched out to every mansion that was under Walter’s name, but they missed out his other properties.

Still, it was fortunate that they had located the child’s whereabouts. Instantly, Edward inquired about the situation inside.

“Four bodyguards by the door, and based on the noise, there should be more behind the doors,” answered the bodyguard.

Then, Edward reported the situation to Nicholas instantly.

“Good. Prepare for a rescue mission. Remember, the hostage’s safety is our utmost priority. Got it?” commanded Nicholas with solemnity.

She was infuriated nonetheless. At that moment, she noticed Edward standing right there. She quickly wiped off her tears to thank him from the bottom of her heart. “Thank you for bringing my son back, Mr. Jackson.”

“Save it. I’m not doing it for free. My only wish is to have you confess that Walter is the kidnapper that had threatened you guys.” Edward waved his hand while blurting the reason behind the whole rescue mission.

“That’s…” Evan became hesitant upon hearing that, not because of the unwillingness to help, but she was afraid after what had transpired.

Seeing through her thoughts, Edward made a promise. “If you’re worried that he’ll take revenge on you after this, please rest assured. Our president has given his word that he will protect your family as long as you’re willing to tell the truth.”

Evan then gave her promise without a second thought. After tucking her son in bed, she and Edward went to the police station together.

With full initiative, she revealed the truth to the police officers. “Because my husband incriminated Eunice for her deeds, her father kidnapped my son just to save her. He even threatened my husband that he must take the blame to ensure our son’s safety.”

Edward was contented by her actions after which he handed over the evidence that attested to Walter’s crime.
