Anya’s POV:I clung to the sink in the restroom, heaving uncomfortably, nearly bringing up stomach acid.For the past couple of days, I have been experiencing occasional bouts of nausea. I dismissed it as a mere indigestion, not paying much attention to it.But today, my vomiting become more intense!“Oh my god, could I… be pregnant?”My heart sank, and I hurriedly splashed cold water on my forehead. Lately, I have been feeling sluggish and fatigued.The symptoms seem too much of that pregnancy!However, since that night of having sex with Evan, I had been worried about the possibility of getting pregnant. I had taken contraceptive pills, so I could not get pregnant! How this could have happened?’“No, I need to go to hospital to get checked.” I resolved.I regained my composure and left for the restroom, returning to the conference room.“Miss Walter, are you alright?” someone asked.“Do you need us to take us to the hospital?” Another inquired.I paused for a moment, my expression s
Anya’s POV:My confidence wavered, well aware of his lasting resentment. “I am truly sorry about Grace. I hope you can find in your heart to forgive me…”After I finished speaking, frustration overwhelmed him, and he rubbed his temple in annoyance.“Forgive you? You must be dreaming!”I took a deep breath, realizing that trying to reason with him would be futile. It would be best not to be entangled with him for now.“Pull over and let me out.” I said to the driver.The driver seemed to completely ignore me, showing no intention of stopping the car.Evan remained silent, and the driver didn’t dare to stop without his command.“I will say it again. Let me out of this damn car!”However, Evan showed no reaction, and the driver continued driving.Witnessing this, I clenched my teeth and made a bold move to open the car door!Evan’s POV:I was taken aback, quickly grabbed my arm, and pulled her into my embrace. “What do you think you are doing?”“If you won’t let me out, I will jump out m
Anya’s POV:After hanging up, I curled up on the sofa, frustration gnawing at me as I rubbed my stomach!Nancy walked over with a glass of milk. “Anya, what’s the matter. You look so pale!”I let out a sigh. “I am alright.”She looked at me with empathy. “Have some milk! Look at you, how much weight you have lost? It breaks my heart.” She added, handing the milk to me.Jerry and Jason were sent away. Flora was also away. Nancy, Kelly, and Emily fell into a hushed silence.I was already feeling queasy, and even the slightest taste triggered my sickness. The smell of milk made me vomit uncontrollably.“Ugh…” I retched and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom!Witnessing this, Nancy was more shocked. “Anya, what’s going on?”I retched in the bathroom for a while before finally managing to stop myself from vomiting.Seeing this, Nancy seemed to guess and asked, “Anya… Don’t tell me you are pregnant again?”I didn’t respond, but my expression grew even more despondent.“Quick, go back to your
Rose’s POV:“Wait, what?” I exclaimed, casting an incredulous glance at her stomach.“Is it… Mr Carter’s?” I asked cautiously.She remained silent, gripping the steering wheel with an indifferent gaze fixed straight ahead.I took a deep breath, hesitating to probe further.“Are we going for checkup? Why not go to the X city’s hospital? It’s more reputable than that in the M city…”“I am not going for a checkup. I’m going to terminate the pregnancy.” She said coldly, without a hint of sadness or hesitation. It was as if she was discussing someone else’s affairs.I was left speechless. “What? Terminate the pregnancy?”“Yes! I need someone to accompany me, and after thinking it through, you are the most suitable!”Anya’s POV:I had initially planned to bring Nancy or Emily, but they could not drive.After the procedure, I wouldn’t be able to drive either, leaving Rose as the only option for me a accompany.Rose couldn’t help but gasp and asked, “Miss Walter, is the child in your belly’s
Evan’s POV:This time, I heard it loud and clear.Upon hearing this, I was consumed with anger.That woman had the audacity!For such a significant matter, she went ahead and underwent the procedure without even discussing it with me.Regardless of whether she wanted this child or not, I was still the father. She should have consulted with me before making a decision.Even if she truly didn’t want this child, she should have sought my consent.But now, she was going to terminate my child without even considering me.“Has the procedure been done yet?”“Not yet, she’s still waiting! But she will up next!”Upon hearing this, I furrowed my brow, took a deep breath, and said angrily, “Stop her immediately! No matter what, you can’t allow her to proceed. I will come right away!”“Okay, understood!”“Send me the address!”“Sure, got it!”Soon, Rose and me the address!After hanging up the phone, I was seething with furry.“Anya Walter, you damn woman. You really pushing me over the edge. How
Anya’s POV:Meanwhile, the doctor prepared for the procedure while the nurse readied the anesthesia.The operating room was chilly, intensifying my unease as I lay on the table.“Doctor, how long will this surgery take?” I asked.“It will be quick, less than half an hour,” The doctor reassured her.“Okay!” I acknowledged.As the nurse prepared for the anesthesia, the doctor began disinfecting the iodine.What suddenly, just as the surgery was about to begin, chaos erupted, shattering the silence of the operating room.“Make a way! Clear the path!” An urgent voice shouted.“This is the operating room! You can’t come in! Wait outside!” the nurse commanded.“Move aside!” the voice insisted.“Someone, call the police. There is a trouble.” Someone exclaimed.A group of imposing bodyguards forcefully pushed their way forward, showing the nurse aside.In a forceful motion, the door of the operating room swung open.Several song and intimidating men stormed in, creating an ominous atmosphere.
Anya’s POV:I no longer dared to accuse you of him and could only suppress my anger tightly.Evan had an explosive temper, and I couldn’t even came close to matching his outburst.One hour later, he drove back to X City and took me directly to villa number 7.The car came to a stop on the lawn and he forcefully pulled me out of the car.The bodyguard swiftly approached and parked the car in the garage.“Evan, what on the earth are you planning to do?” I asked.He didn’t utter a word as he carried me into the house.Then, he led me to the room and placed me on the bed.“Anya, you can’t leave here until I made up my mind.” He declared.My eyes filled with immense shock, as I impulsively leaped off the bed, exclaiming, “What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to imprison me?”“Do as you wish!” He said as he turned around and walked out of the room.I desperately tried to follow him, but it was already too late.Bang!He forcefully closes the door and locks it with the key.Inside
Anya’s POV:At 8:30 pm, the door swung open.A group of maids entered, carrying a tray of different sizes.The trays were filled with a feast fit for a king.Miss Chain maintained a gentle and respectful expression, “Madam, this is the nutritious meal instructed by Mr. Carter to prepare for you!”“I am not eating!” I seethed with anger and had no appetite.“Madam, you have not had lunch! Skipping dinner won’t do any good. You are not just one person, but you have to take care of the nourishment for two!”“All of you get out! Give me some time alone!”The six maids took a step back, their eyes fixed on me as if I were a criminal.I was fuming with rage.Evan had dared to restrict my freedom.“Miss Chain, I beg you, let me go. I can’t stay here!”“Madam, please don’t worry! Mr. Carter doesn’t want you to leave. Its for your own well-being. Before he left, he instructed us to serve you with utmost dedication! From this, it’s evident that he truly cares about you! Madam, please listen!” s
Anya’s POV:Surrounded by small islands, one can observe the environment where I standing with a pair of binoculars.After hanging up, I got out of the car. She stood on the dock and looked around.There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. On the sea, many small fishing boats were floating around.The fisherman stood on the fishing boat and enthusiastically hawked to passersby. “Do you won’t buy lobster? They are fresh and cheap.”“There are also groupers and crabs. They are all freshly caught. Come and buy some.”I was not in the mood to care about these people. I just looked at the people coming and going in front of me uneasily.I waited another ten minutes or so.A middle-aged man with dark skin approached me. “You are Anya Walter, right?”I turned around and saw a man dressed as a fisherman standing behind me.“Yes, I am Anya Walter!”“Come with me!”I held my breath and hurriedly followed the fisherman.The fisherman brought me to a relatively quiet dock and pointed at th
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
After hanging up, Anya looked melancholic. “Look, the children are urging us to go back.”“I rarely travel. Let’s shop for a few more days.” I know the best way to treat depression is to relax and heal naturally.“Three days at most.”“There is no need to rush.”“Let’s go. Come with me for dinner.”Anya was helpless. She changed her clothes and went to the street with me.At the entrance of the street.Anya was buying coffee when Coral walked up anxiously and whispered, “Mr. Carter…”I was stunned, “What’s wrong?”“Princess Martha wants to see you.”I frowned.I had not contacted Princess Martha for three or four months. I felt it was over between us.“How did she know I was here?”“Princess Martha happened to be in Menola too. When she saw my Facebook post, she guessed you were also in Menola.”When I heard this, my face was darkened. “Who asked you to post on Facebook?”“Sorry, Mr. Carter…”As he spoke, Princess Martha appeared out of nowhere. “Evan, long time no see!”I turned roun
