"Wendy!" both Michael and Zen shouted at the same time.
"Let go of her!" Michael raised the gun in his hand and pointed it towards Christian's head.
Christian gave a laugh and pressed the knife deeper into Wendy's neck. Wendy's neck started to have blood streaking down her fair skin. The pain from the cut made Wendy whimper. Her cry made Michael feel anxious and devastated.
"Do you want to put it to the test, to see if your gun is faster than my knife?"
Christian said spitefully. "Oh right, there is one more being in Wendy's womb. If you really want to test me, the price of it will be high."
Michael did not dare take the risk. He could not bear to see Wendy get hurt in any way.
"Christian, let go of Wendy. If you need a hostage, let it be me instead." Zen endured the pain and said, "I volunteer to swap places with her."
If it was not to save Zen, Wendy would not have run over to her aid and she would not be seized by Christian.
