“Ben’s gone to look for Chelsea…”
“Do you think that would do anything?” Averie’s eyes were cold, but her tone was colder. “Do you think I don’t know the relationship between Ben and Chelsea? if I weren’t carrying your child right now, you wouldn’t even care about
Tammy’s life or death at all!”
Elyette stayed silent for a few seconds and did not argue with her.
“I’m coming back right away. Wait for me.”
Averie took a deep breath, then hung up the phone.
She dragged her heavy legs into the bathroom.
She turned on the tap and washed her face.
The thought that Tammy might be getting tortured right now made Averie’s heart ache.
Her phone screen suddenly lit up. She glanced warily over at the phone and saw Tammy’s name flashing on the screen!
Averie thought she was dreaming! She quickly picked up the phone and answered the call.
Once the video call was connected, an unfamiliar environment popped up on the phone screen.
It was a dark storage room with a bunch of unbelievably dirty men in it. These men were watching with greedy eyes at a woman who was lying on the ground…
Tammy! The woman on the ground was Tammy!
“Tammy! Wake up, Tammy!” Averie shrieked at the top of her lungs. When she saw that Tammy did not move a muscle, her nails dug into the palm of her hands. “Let go of Tammy! Let her go! I’ll give you anything you want!”
“They went to bed, but Hayden is not asleep yet,” Chad said, “I was afraid that I would disturb him, so I didn’t talk to him.”
“Oh, Hayden is quite mature, he understands a lot. He surely won’t be able to sleep.” Mike was standing outside the emergency room at that moment. His mind was a mess. “Averie’s mood affected the child. She might go into labor tonight.”
“Wouldn’t that be a premature delivery?” Chad furrowed his brows. “Will the child be alright?
“I’m not worried about that. I’m only worried about Averie. You didn’t see how terrible she looked, yet she was still worried about Tammy…” Mike was pacing back and forth in the corridor. “Give Ben a call, see how he is getting on with Chelsea.”
If Tammy could not be rescued, even if Averie gave birth to the child, it would still weigh heavily on her mind.
“I’m guessing nothing has happened.” Chad knew Chelsea too well. “If Chelsea was the one that did it unless we placed the evidence in front of her, she would never admit it. Talking sense into her or playing the friendship card, would never work.”
“Averie is adamant that Chelsea was the one who did it. What do you think?” Mike asked.
“I can understand how Averie feels, but I don’t dare to come to any rash conclusions,” Chad said cautiously, “You said that child could be delivered tonight. Did you take the maternity kitover?”
“No,”
“Why don’t I send them over right now?” Chad said, “Get the bodyguard to keep watch at home. It should bege fine.”
“Okay! The maternity kit is in Averie’s room. Go look for it.”
″Okay.”
In a high-end luxury condominium, Ben was looking at Chelsea seriously.
“Jun is my junior. He respects me a lot and I treat him like a younger brother. Tammy is his wife, so I have always treated Tammy like my sister-in-law.”
“What is the point of you telling me all this? I am not interested in your relationship with them.” Chelsea brought two wine glasses over. She passed one to Ben. “Don’t tell me you think that Tammy’s incident has something to do with me?”
“Chelsea, this thing better has nothing to do with you.” Ben’s gaze was sharp. He did not accept her wine. “If it has anything to do with you, without mentioning Elyette not forgiving you, I won’t forgive you as well. If one does not have a bottom line, what difference is there from a wild animal?”
The word animal made the elegance of Chelsea’s face vanish.
“Why are you suspecting me? Just because I did one bad thing, so the other ninety-nine things were done by me?”
Chelsea looked at Ben angrily. “Ben, since when have we become like that?”
“Ever since you brought Nora back. You have always been a smart person, but this move is extremely stupid,” Ben mocked, “If I were you, I would never have let my cousin do her face up to become like Averie. Don’t you feel uncomfortable just by looking at it?”
“She wants to make her face up to become like Averie, what does that have to do with me? That’s her life! It’s her choice! Do you think I could really instruct her as I wish! If I were that great, why can’t I get the man that I want!”
Chelsea downed her red wine in one go. Her eyes were wet.
“He doesn’t love you. No matter what you do, he will never love you! This is such a simple thing, why don’t you understand?” Ben snatched the wine glass over from her and put them on the table. “Chelsea, I’m warning you for the last time. If Tammy is in your hands, you better let her go soon! Don’t risk your life just for a moment of showing off!”
Ben strode away
Chelsea looked at the shut door. She smiled bitterly. Once she has started, there is no turning back anymore. Even if she knew how terrible the consequences were, she could not stop.
She was in pain every day, so how could she let Averie live happily?
At that hospital, after Chad sent the maternity kit over, Mike pulled him out of the ward.
“She is showing signs of premature labor. The doctor got her to stay in the hospital to observe.
“Oh! My goodness! I thought she was really going to deliver!” Chad breathed heavily.
“She is in a terrible mood. The doctor gave her a sedative for her to sleep.” Mike furrowed his brows. “Have we found Tammy yet?” Chad shook his head. “Chelsea said that this has nothing to do with her.”
“You guessed it right. As long as there is no evidence, she will never admit to it,” Mike said sarcastically.
“After all, nothing good can come out of admitting to it.” Chad looked at the time. “Why don’t you go and rest a bit?”
“Do you think I can fall asleep?” Mike glanced at the ward. “Once she’s up, if Tammy is still not found, she will definitely lose it. The doctor has said that she can’t be too agitated right now, if not she will go into premature labor. She has already bled.”
“Bled?” Chad was stunned.
“Yes, bled. The doctor said that this is a sign of premature labor.” Mike crossed his hands on his waist. “When is
Elyette coming back?”
“He’ll reach by tomorrow morning at seven,” Chad said, “I hope that Averie can sleep until the next morning.”
“So, what, if she sleeps until the next morning? The main point is Tammy is missing. What if the people who kidnapped her had done something to her? The consequences are unimaginable. Think of Zoe. Then think of Nora.
They were Chelsea’s doing.” Mike gritted his teeth. “How could Tammy go through such torture?”
Chad’s eyes turned cold. “I’ll go look for Jun.”
At the mall’s surveillance room. Jun has gone through an entire night of surveillance. He has looked at every exit multiple times, yet he has not seen Tammy leaving.
The mall has been swept from every corner, yet Tammy was nowhere to bege found.
When Chad saw Jun, he saw Jun’s reddened eyes and utter sadness.
“Tammy is pregnant. She barely even had the time to tell me…” Jun said with tears flowing.” Don’t look at her always talking so loudly, she’s especially timid. She must be extremely afraid right now! I really want to bear the pain for her! That bunch of bastards! Don’t let me catch them, if not I will chop them into pieces!”
“Tammy should still be in Avonsville. I asked the train stations and airports. No one has any news on Tammy.”
“Where she is right now is not the main point. The main point is whether those bunch of bastards bully her or not!”
Jun turned around and wiped his tears. “I didn’t protect her well enough. I’m always so busy working that I don’t spend much time with her. I should’ve hired a bodyguard for her.”
“Jun, don’t be too sad. Ben has already gone to warn Chelsea. Chelsea will not dare to hurt Tammy,” Chad said, meaning he was already sure that Chelsea was the one who planned the kidnap
“It was Chelsea?” Jun clenched his fists tightly, rage burning in him.
Chad said, “Averie suspects that it is her.”
“I think that it’s her too! The things that she has done to Averie previously, it’s not something a normal person would do! She must have gone mad from jealousy, which was why she kept doing all these!” Jun said angrily, “She couldn’t find any other way to deal with Averie, so she went for the people around her! On top of that, Tammy has slapped her before, she must be loathing her!”
Chad said, “Mr. Foster will be back soon. Once he is back, he will surely help you look for Tammy.”
Jun took a deep breath and suppressed his heartbroken emotions. “Is Averie still alright?”
“She’s not too well. She’s beating herself up even more than you because he thinks that Chelsea was the one who did it. Tammy and Chelsea had no grudges, it was because of her they fought. She’s at the hospital right now, showing signs of premature labor.”
“She’s not in the wrong! The person who is in the wrong is that crazy woman!” Jun clenched his fist and punched the wall. “If anything were to happen to Tammy, I’ll kill Chelsea!”
At four in the morning, Averie woke up in alarm.
When she got up, she looked around at the foreign environment. Her memories came back slowly to her. Tammy was missing. She did not know if there was any news about her at that moment.
Tammy furrowed her brows. She flipped the covers aside and got down from the bed. She anxiously walked over to the entrance and opened the door. Mike appeared before her eyes.
“Why are you out of bed?” Mike said, surprised. He held her arms. “Go back to bed and lie down. The doctor says you need bed rest.”
Averie shrugged his hand away, unwilling to cooperate. “Is Tammy found already? How is she? “Averie’s eyes reddened. Her chest heaving quickly.
Mike has long guessed that Averie would ask this one she was up.
Unless she passed out, if not she would not rest properly in bed.
“I haven’t heard any news yet, but don’t worry, the police are searching for her. She will definitely be found by daylight.” Mike assured her.
When Averie heard that there was no news yet, she fumbled and swayed listlessly, as if her soul has been sucked away.
“Averie, go to bed and lie down. What happens if you go into premature labor?” Mike carried her and placed her in bed. “Your child is only eight months old. If you were to give birth to it now, although it will survive, it still has to be in an incubator. You’re a doctor, you should know that premature children get sick easily. Do you want to see your child suffer?”
Mike’s words caused her body to stiffen. She wanted to go look for Tammy, but she had to care for the child in her tummy too. She tried to control her own emotions, but she could not do it no matter how she tried.
Tears streamed down her face. Her fingers clenched the covers tightly.
Mike stood next to her by the bed, looking at how much pain she was in. He was heartbroken.
He wanted to comfort her, but Tammy was not found yet, no matter what he said was pointless. He could only sit next to her and wait with her silently.
That night was a very longge one.
When it was almost dawn, Averie finally fell asleep. The door was suddenly pushed open. Chad brought breakfast and entered.
“You haven’t slept the entire night, right?” Chad measured him up. “Have some breakfast then go back and rest! I’ll keep watch here. In an hour or so, Mr. Foster will be here.”
Mike held the cup of coffee. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Is Tammy still not found yet?”
“No. She is almost missing twenty-four hours already. I’m afraid things are not looking good, “Chad said in a low voice.
“F*ck! If Averie knows about this, she is going to lose it.” Mike instantly lost his appetite. “I’ll wait for Elyette to come before leaving. I’m afraid that if she suddenly wakes up and gets upset, you won’t be able to help her.”
Chad nodded. “You’re right.”
An hour later, Elyette rushed to the hospital, looking worn down from traveling. Once he entered the war, Averie seemed to have sensed his presence. She immediately opened her eyes.
When Elyette saw her reddened and puffy eyes, it was as if he was being choked. He was so overwhelmed he felt suffocated.
“Averie, don’t be sad.” Elyette held her cold hands and said hoarsely, “I promise you that we will find Tammy before dark.”
When Averie heard the word Tammy, she lost it. “Elyette, Tammy has been bullied with such cruel tactics! It’s Chelsea.
It must be her! Go and look for her right now!”
“Okay, I’ll go look for her.” Elyette saw her tears and he completely lost his senses. “Wait for me here.”
