You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1901: Discussing Who Dies First

On the mountainside, at the camping site.

Over the years, this place had long been abandoned, overgrown with wild vegetation, the grass growing as tall as a person. The

original pine trees, left untrimmed, had turned the area into a veritable primitive forest.

Unnoticed by anyone, a brick house had quietly been erected here, hidden among the weeds. Unless one approached closely, it

remained completely undetectable.

Despite its unremarkable appearance, the brick house was equipped with modern facilities. It had both an upper and lower level,

including a comprehensive security system that shielded the location from prying eyes.

Athena had long established this place as a stronghold, though no one was aware of it.

Because no one would have suspected that she would transform the very cliff from which she had once jumped into a secret base.

Since capturing Kiki and Westbrook, Athena had moved herself here, along with her loyal subordinates who were dedicated to

OGW. At this moment, they were keeping a close watch on the area, inside and out.

Aldis was in charge of coordination and command. This time, he had silently abducted the two children from school, displaying his

adept skills.

After Kiki and Westbrook were captured, they were thrown into a room on the ground floor, surrounded by high walls, with only a

skylight above letting in the scorching daylight. Their hands and feet were bound, rendering them immobile. From the moment

they left the school until now, they had not been given any food or water.

Kiki was clearly struggling. Her frail body slumped against the wall.

Having been confined before, Westbrook could still manage, albeit with great effort. Though he was extremely fearful deep down,

he desperately tried to protect Kiki, pretending that he wasn't as scared as he truly was.

He leaned towards Kiki, "Kiki, don't fall asleep. Let's talk, okay?"

He wanted to distract Kiki.

Sobbing, Kiki said, "Wuwu, | want to go home. | want my mommy." Previously, she had been indifferent about going home, knowing

that her mother didn't care about her. But now that she had been taken away, she realized that her mother was the best person to

her.

"Kiki, don't cry. They might hear us," Westbrook said urgently, fearing that the black-clothed individuals might cin and start

hitting them if they heard them making a commotion.

Kiki couldn't stop crying.

At that moment, indeed, sblack-clothed individuals barged in, cursing loudly, "What's all this noise? Sick of living, are you?"

Already irritated, the black-clothed man, upon hearing the crying, strode in and kicked at Kiki.

Westbrook was startled and quickly threw himself over Kiki, shielding her from the blow.

It hurt so much. He was in agony from the kick to his waist, tears welling up. Even though he had been beaten at home, it had

never hurt this much.

Gritting his teeth, Westbrook held back his cries. Under normal circumstances, he would have already been wailing loudly.

Scared, Kiki huddled into Westbrook's embrace, too frightened to show her face or cry again. She forced back her tears, the bitter

taste making her stomach churn even more.

The black-clothed man, feeling unsatisfied, wanted to kick them smore.

Holding Kiki tightly, Westbrook's voice trembled, "Don't hurt her. If you must, hurtinstead."

The black-clothed man sneered, "At such a young age already playing hero to save the damsel in distress. Alright, I'll grant your

wish."

With that, the black-clothed man lifted his foot and viciously kicked at Westbrook's leg.

The pain rendered Westbrook unable to cry. He thought his leg might have been broken.

"Enough, let them catch their breath. We'll torture them smore later."

A sharp, feminine voice rang out. It was Athena who had entered.

"Miss, you're here. I'm sorry they disturbed you. That's why | reprimanded them," the black-clothed man said respectfully.

"It was too noisy. Hmph." Athena disdainfully glanced at Xiao Cheng Cloud, "Such a young age, still dreaming of being a hero. Don't

waste your efforts. Do you think you'll live through today?"

Westbrook turned around, standing in front of Kiki. He looked at the beautiful woman before him, more beautiful than any woman

he had ever seen. He couldn't understand why someone so good-looking could be so cruel.

"What do you want? | won't let you hurt her," Westbrook said, suppressing his fear and trying to sound bold, even though his legs

were trembling with fear.

"Oh. Not hurt her? I'd like to see if you're as brave as you imagine, little boy," Athena loved to make these malicious provocations.

Suddenly, she becinterested and walked up to Westbrook, "In half an hour, if no one comes to save you, | will shoot one of

you. Tell me, who dies first? Do you want to die first, or should | shoot her first?"

As she spoke, she toyed with a gun, clicking the safety on and pointing the barrel at the two trembling children.

Kiki was already too scared to speak, her fair face now as pale as paper.

She clung tightly to Westbrook's clothes. Although she hadn't liked Westbrook much before, she had no one else to rely on now and

could only depend on him for survival.

Seeing the gun, Westbrook's teeth chattered, and he could barely speak.

Athena pressed the gun against Westbrook's forehead, evilly asking, "What about if | shoot you first?"

Out of instinct, Westbrook shook his head in fear, "Please, don't, don't kill me. | don't want to die."
