Chapter 348 She Was Targeted
Freya woke up at 2 p.m.
She sat up, took only three seconds to recall everything, and immediately got out of bed to run outside.
Braxton, sitting at the bedside, held Freya down.
“Calm down if you want to stay awake and listen to Jolly’s news. Otherwise, I’ll knock you out again!”
She clenched her hands and bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her tears. “Brax, where is she?”
His face turned cold. “Jolly wasn’t in the fire. Our house was set on fire. The arsonist probably took him!”
Freya bit her lower lip until it bled. “Where did they take him?”
“We haven’t found out yet.” Braxton held Freya’s arms with both hands. “As a doctor, you should have the strongest mental resilience. Promise me that you will calm down. If you go crazy, what will happen to Jolly?”
Yeah, what will happen to Jolly if I go crazy?
Freya closed her eyes and, after a while, opened them again, looking composed.
Her voice was hoarse. “It was those people!”
Braxton nodded. “That’s what I think too, but the fire was too big today, and Mrs. Wesson has already left.”
“What they want is nothing more than that book.” She clenched her hands tightly.
She used to think that “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” was a treasure and the inheritance of traditional medicine culture.
However, those people took Jolly away before she could find out its secret.
Freya took a deep breath. “All we can do now is wait.”
When Freya said this, she felt like her heart was breaking.
Jolly is still so young. What if something happens to him?
What if those people hurt her?
Just the thought of it made Freya feel like her heart was squeezed. A suffocating feeling surged up.
However, she didn’t know where they were. She had the strength to fight but couldn’t find anyone to use it against.
After Freya calmed down, she glanced at the vibrating phone on the bedside table.
Braxton pursed his lips. “Take a look. Everyone is worried about you. I called the company’s public relations department and stated that our whole family is safe publicly. It’s probably spreading online by
now.”
She picked up the phone and glanced at it. There were missed calls from her Master, from friends from The Green Flamation forum, Mel, and others.

Freya cried and said, “I don’t know how to reply to them now.”
Jolly went missing, and I cannot tell Granny. Otherwise, things in Vroria will become chaotic.
She suppressed her sadness and sent a message to Granny in Vroria, letting her know she was safe.
After replying to a few messages, Freya glanced at the news notifications, most of which were about the fire at the Kaufmann Residence.
The experienced firefighters immediately discovered that the cause of the fire was arson.
The police promised to investigate the arsonist thoroughly.
Online netizens left messages on her Twitter, wishing her safety. However, Freya’s mood was still gloomy.
She comforted those who needed comfort. Yet, she didn’t know how to calm herself.
Just as she was about to put down her phone, the screen lit up again. She glanced at it and saw a message from Radley.
“Connor is investigating the whereabouts of the arsonist. Don’t worry.”
These few words made Freya cry even more.
Holding back her tears, she typed, Jolly is missing. Please help me to find her.’
She chose to seek help from Radley in the most desperate moment.
In Caltun, only Radley could find Jolly besides the Kaufmann family.
He quickly replied, short but powerful. ‘I will find him.
Restless in the villa, Freya held her phone and didn’t reply to anyone’s messages anymore. She was afraid she couldn’t answer the phone if someone contacted her.

Edward looked at the message Freya replied to and finally let go of the anxiety that had plagued him all day.
Jamie sat beside him and said, “I told you, Frea has good fortune. She won’t encounter any trouble.” Edward would have probably rushed to the Kaufmann Residence if Jamie hadn’t stopped him earlier. Edward nodded and suddenly looked at Jamie. “Why aren’t you at the company with such a big incident?” Im not feeling well,” he replied calmly.
Freya’s heart was hanging by a thread, ready to fall into the abyss at any moment for the next three days. This anxious and tense state of mind broke her down like never before.
At 1 a.m., in the villa of the Kaufmann Residence.

Everyone was exhausted dealing with the day’s affairs and fell asleep.
Freya lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
It had been three days, and those people still hadn’t contacted her.
Her phone, placed next to her pillow, vibrated lightly. Freya immediately picked it up and glanced at it. It was a news notification. She clenched her teeth and uninstalled all the news apps.
Just as she put down her phone, it vibrated again.
She picked it up and glanced at it, his gaze suddenly fixed,
A crimson subtitle slowly appeared on the phone screen.
‘Can’t sleep?’
This feeling made her spine chill, as if someone was watching her. Freya quickly turned her head to look at the open window.
Not far from the window was a garden.
The screen displayed letters again. ‘Since you’ve noticed, come to the window by yourself.
She clenched her phone tightly. She could already be sure that someone was hiding in that garden. If she went to the window now, she would be like a live target without any cover.
Freya got out of bed and walked to the window in slippers.
gaze
Her fell on the dark woods below the window. She had always known that these people were hiding very discreetly.
However, she didn’t expect that they could invade her phone. Her phone had its own security system!
Freya pursed her lips and took out her phone to check
New words appeared on the screen. ‘You should know our goal. Nod if you know.
Freya nodded toward the dark woods.
If you want your son, bring that book to Emerald Dock at 8 p.m. tomorrow. Nod if you agree.
Freya nodded again.
Another line of text lit up on the screen. If I find anyone else tomorrow, I will throw your son to the
vultures.
Freya tightly gripped her phone, causing the screen to crack like a spider web.
She fixed her gaze on the woods as she released her grip.
Several birds emerged from the woods. That person was arrogant, not caring about revealing their location.
She took a deep breath, realizing they knew capturing Jolly meant capturing her lifeline.

sów returned to her room, closed the window and drew the curtains.
Freya walked to her bedside, opened her bag, and retrieved a notebook.
Since returning from Hartterre, she had disguised The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” as a notebook and carried it. Occasionally, she would take it out and jot down some things
She believed that the most obvious places were often the ones people were most likely to overlook.
However, now she had to save Jolly.
Contemplating the rescue mission scheduled for 8 p.m. tomorrow, she stepped out of the room in a white nightgown.
