Lahat ng Kabanata ng Three Minutes and Boom: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Once the bomb detonated, Isla would be gone.I forced myself to stand upright and tapped on an address.A few months ago, Isla and I both suffered a high fever on a stormy night. Winnie's car was sent in for maintenance, so I asked her to drive my car to the hospital. However, she turned over in her bed and said, "It's raining heavily. Driving in this weather isn't safe."I gritted my teeth and decided to drive by myself.Just as I drove out of the neighborhood, Winnie suddenly rushed over and asked us to get out of the car. She said the thunder would frighten Heath and trigger a heart attack, so she had to go keep him company.I held Isla in one hand and held the swaying umbrella handle with the other, asking hoarsely, "Then what about us? Should we just wait here to die?"Halfway through closing the car door, Winnie looked at Isla speaking deliriously and at me, who was flushed bright red. A trace of pity flickered in her eyes.The next second, her phone rang. She glanced

All that could be heard on speaker was her restrained breathing.Heath whispered something nearby in a very low voice, and then she took a deep breath. "Dad, there's only a little bit left of the statement. I'll rush over as soon as I'm done. Since we've waited this long, it won't make a difference."I stared intently at the red numbers on the countdown timer; there were three minutes left.Henry got so angry that he threw the phone across, shattering the screen.My mother was directing the SWAT team to prepare for a forced entry while holding Gloria, who was about to faint.However, we all knew that the result of the assault would be the immediate detonation of the bomb.Taking a deep breath, I pressed the communication device. "Ian, let's talk. I'm Winnie's husband. If you have any questions, perhaps I'll know the answers."One second, two seconds... The communication device lit up with a green light."First floor lobby. Come in alone. If you dare to go upstairs, I'll detonat

Anne kicked Heath down. "You're still spouting nonsense at this point! We said from the beginning that the kidnapper would kill Isla if Winnie didn't show up. Did you listen? You didn't care about Isla's life at all!"Winnie suddenly came to her senses. She grabbed Gloria's hand. "Mom... It really blew up. Isla... Where's Calvin? I want to see him. Why didn't he say the bomb would really explode? If he had said it earlier... "Gloria forcefully shook her off. She treated Winnie like her enemy at this moment."Calvin didn't tell you? He told you so many times. You never listened! If you had followed Calvin's advice and met the kidnapper, the bomb wouldn't have exploded! All you care about is Heath. You bought a house for him, saved money for him, and you even gave up Isla for him! How could you be so cruel?"Winnie shook her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Impossible. Ian specifically asked to see me. I didn't come, so how could it really explode?""He has already killed ten

Ian, the serial killer who appeared in a nationwide wanted notice, was dressed sloppily, and his beard covered half of his face. "Dr. Steinman, we finally meet."Anne reached out and turned off the microphone, then she quickly wiped away the tears from her face and said seriously, "The previous live video was fake. This is the real one. Ian never tied Isla to the top floor of this building. He had done it somewhere else. Winnie, buy us some time. I'll check the location."Winnie's mouth was agape as she stared at the crying Isla and Ian in the video.Ian and Isla were not here, but this place really exploded.She suddenly turned on the microphone. "Bastard! My husband has already rushed in to save Isla!"Ian sneered. "I saw. He's just dead. Why panic? My wife is also dead."Winnie instantly fell into despair.Henry and Gloria also heard the news and hurried over. After seeing that Isla was safe, the two prayed to the sky as if they had survived a disaster.Gloria realized belat

"Heath was caught while fleeing, and Winnie was also arrested."I nodded and had the curtains drawn. "Let's draft the divorce agreement. Isla can't have a mother who breaks the law.""Okay, Mr. Horton."When the divorce papers came through, the case was almost over. All the perpetrators had been arrested.Heath had accepted money from the perpetrators and deliberately destroyed the evidence, so he was sentenced to five years.Winnie helped him handle the aftermath because she was afraid that he would be punished, so she was sentenced to seven years instead.Even until the end, Winnie and I had not exchanged a single word. She contacted me several times through other people, saying she wanted to see me. However, I merely had someone reply that I was busy.In the past, she was busy, and now, I was busy. We were even.…One year later, Isla finally stopped having nightmares after undergoing psychological treatment. The two families held a grand birthday party for her and gave her
