Nadine's complexion was milky white to begin with, making the red marks stand out alarmingly. To make matters worse, blood was still trickling from a small cut on her neck, which was concerning to anyone who looked at it.
Brad's heart raced when he noticed that. He was genuinely afraid that David might harm Nadine again. He hurriedly said, "Stop right there! I promise I won't cany closer. I'll stay right here, so please don't hurt Nadine." No one could tell just how scared he truly was at that moment. Those vivid red marks on her neck filled him with dread and anxiety.
Noticing that Brad was being cooperative, David recognized Nadine's value and smirked. "Relax, Brad. I'm only interested in money, not her life. Once you bringthe four million dollars, I'll let her go. Trust me, I wouldn't want her dead. If she dies, how am I supposed to get the money from you?"

"It's just a small cut, nothing serious. In half an hour, we can take her to the hospital, and it'll heal up on its own. No need to worry.
"Tell you what, since it's my fault she got hurt, I'll knock five grand off the ransom! It's such a minor injury. She doesn't even need to go to the hospital, and you get to save five grand! Sounds good, right?" Brad wasn't paying attention to David's ridiculous offer. His focus was entirely on the wound on Nadine's neck. At that moment, all he wanted was to get to her side and protect her.

Nadine is weak and has a low blood sugar level. I'm afraid she won't last much longer before she passes out. If she faints before you get your money, won't that mess up your plans?
"How about I go over there and take her place as your hostage? Don'tn assistant will be the one worry. My delivering the money, and he'll do exactly as I say."
