She must see Tommy safe, or she would die!
“I hate you! I’ll kill you right now, but I can’t let my child become a murderer’s child, or let people tell him that his mother killed his father!”
Diarmuid’s heart skipped a beat, before suddenly pounding with excitement with the surprise. Even as his spirits soared, he exclaimed, “W–What was that? Ouu child is still alive?!”
Abigail appeared to be at a loss.
Pain and helplessness showed in her eyes. “I shouldn’t have told you. A cheater like you doesn’t deserve to know.”
Diarmuid held her shoulders. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Her lips trembled even as she appeared deflated as she straddled him. “I had twins, but the infection from Whitney Cox’s amniocentesis meant I would have lost one even if you didn’t beat me up. The other is safe-that’s why I was hiding for months, to deliver him.”
Diarmuid’s heart pounded wildly, his breath and mind a mess right then.
He wanted to raise his hands but could not feel his strength.
“Where’s our child?” he rasped.
“Harvey Gooding took him. He was using him to coerce me into marrying him ” Abigail sobbed
Diarmuid’s surprise and delight disappeared right then!
“What?!” His voice turned cold and his expression was sinister.
“Let me go! I have to look for him-”
Diarmuid promptly put her on the bed right then. “Debbie will soon come by with your clothing. Leave our child to me.”
With that, he got up and left.
He would find his child!
“Tommy is still very young! Don’t let him get hurt!” Abigail called out.
She was worried that Diarmuid would offend Harvey in his rage, and cause harm to Tommy.
“I know,” Diarmuid said, and left the room.
He went searching for Harvey without a plan–something he would not have usually done.
Unlike before, he was going in blind, but this was different.
He cared-perhaps too much–and therefore could not think straight.
However, he soon found out that Harvey had returned to Sunny City.
“We’re going right now.”
“What?!” Stan thought he was hearing things. Why was Diarmuid being so impatient?
Presuming that Diarmuid missed what he said, he repeated, “Harvey returned to Sunny City… Are you saying that we’re going there right now?”
Diarmuid gave him a look. “Yes, right now.”
Stan stopped asking questions right then and went to work.
As Diarmuid and his people rushed to Sunny City in the night, he calmed down considerably in the journal. realizing that he had no leverage against Harvey to win a negotiation.
If Harvey were to be forced to release his child, he would have to do something drastic… which he did by abducting Harvey, throwing a sack over his head and beating him up!
Harvey was cursing furiously. “Who the fuck are you people?! Come fight me if you dare–oof!”
He felt a kick in the gut, and curled up in pain!
Still, he snarled when he recovered, “Kick me elsewhere, bastard!”
He was kicked in the gut as soon as he finished, leaving him speechless.
This was too much! Did nobody fight fair these days?!
“Take this sack off if you want a real fight!” Harvey snarled through gritted teeth from the pain in his gut!
“I don’t, though,” Stan said.
Harvey was speechless again.
Hold on… Was that Stan Hill?!
“Stan Hill?! Let me go!” Harvey bellowed furiously. “Did you go nuts?! I’ll kill you!”
Diarmuid gestured for Stan to take the sack off Harvey’s head, and when Stan did so, Harvey’s expression became even more terrible when he saw that Diarmuid was there too.
“Diarmuid Althoff?! What is the meaning of this?!” Harvey demanded
“Where is my child?!” Diarmuid simply asked.
Harvey quickly realized what he was talking about, and frowned. “Ask your grandfather! Why did you even come to me?!”
“Stop bullshitting!” Stan walked up, aiming another kick at him.
Diarmuid stopped, but his gaze was icy as he looked at Harvey “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? What else could I mean? Your grandfather took the baby!”
Diarmuid frowned. His grandfather knew about his child?
He suddenly had a foreboding sensation–his child might have been safer with Harvey than at Althoff
Manor!
After all, Henry had kept protecting his uncle’s family, but if they found out…
He panicked right then, once again unable to stay calm because he cared too much
He whipped out his phone to call Henry right then.
“Look, your grandpa took my mom and demanded the baby in exchange. I wouldn’t have given him up otherwise,” Harvey growled as tried to sit up, but he could not do it since his hands were tied
Turning toward Stan, he snapped, “Aren’t you going to untie me?”
Stan actually felt guilty when he realized that Harvey did not have Diarmuid’s child He had beat the man up for nothing!
Still, as soon as he untied Harvey, the man promptly jabbed him in the face!
Caught by surprises, Stan was left dizzy and bled from his lip.
“You were the one kicking me, weren’t you?!” Harvey’s face contorted with rage. “Do I look like a pushover?!”
With that, he punched Stan again–who had yet to recover from the first. Harvey was also moving too quickly for him to dodge.
He gritted his teeth in pain and spat blood on the ground, and reached up to wipe the blood off his twitching lips.
He did not retaliate, however, and simply told Harvey, “We’re even now.”
“Even? Do you even remember how many times you kicked me?!” Harvey demanded indignantly.
His belly still hurt right now!
Stan naturally did not remember, not to mention that he was still a little dazed from Harvey’s punches
But he was not about to lie down and take his beating–if Harvey kept this up, he would fight back.
“Do you really think you stand a chance?”
Harvey did not keep arguing, however, and turned toward Diarmuid instead.
“You abducted Abigail, didn’t you?” he asked, and continued before Diarmuid could deny it. “Wait, don’t bother-
I know what happened, but I won’t fight you for once. I don’t have time for this.”
Rosa, his mother, was keeping a very close eye on him, not to mention that he had been too busy to travel to Cloud City.
Diarmuid leveled a look of indifference at him for a moment, and said, “Let’s go.”
He had not said a thing, but Harvey knew right then that he had Abigail–probably because he did not deny it.
