Miss Chain’s POV:
After two days of recovery, Miss Walter had finally gotten over the worst of her illness.
However, she was still extremely weak. She lay on a bed sleeping, hooked up to a ventilator.
“Anya, Daddy is here to see you!”
Lilian and I recognized Frank. When we saw, we greeted him, looking shocked. “Mr. Walter, why are you here?”
“Oh, I came to see Anya. How is she doing?”
“She just fell asleep. Why don’t you wait for a while?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine! I want to talk to her, that’s all.” He didn’t listen to me and went to the bed.
“Mr. Walter, she just fall asleep. You should wait….”
However, he didn’t listen to me and went to the bed. “I have something urgent to talk to her. I won’t take a long!”
Before I could stop him, he called out to the bed, “Anya!”<
Anya’s POV:I didn’t want to talk to him anymore.I didn’t recall seeing my father so anxious when I was imprisoned!Now that Tina was in trouble, he ran for help faster than anyone else.“Anya, I know you are still angry with me, but don’t make such a fuss now!”He frowned, looking worried, “Tina is now tapped in Sherane Bay Villa. She is pregnant. If anything happen to her, it will be too late to regret.”I rolled my eyes coldly. “Dad, I really can’t help you. Evan won’t listen to me too. If anything, you should go to the call police!”When he heard this, he punched his legs in exasperation. “Just tell Evan to let me take Tina home! It’s such a simple matter. Do you still have to make excuses?”His voice suddenly rose. The smile on his face completely disappeared.“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you
Anya’s POV:I immediately understood what he meant by thisEvan had the same suspicion as me. He also suspected that Tina had heard a hit man to kill me.“I know, but no matter what, she’s still my sister. Let her go home first.”“Anya, you can’t always be soft-hearted.” Evan sounds disappointed.“She can run, but she can’t hide. If this matter is related to her, you can always settle this out with her later.” I refuse to be labeled as a pushover.If Tina was too involved in this case, I would not let her off so easily.“Evan didn’t say anything for a long while.Finally, he agreed, “Alright, then. I will call the driver later and ask him to send Tina back home!”“Alright! I will hung up first!”I hung up the phone and looked at Frank in disgust.“Alright, Evan said that he would get the driver sent her bac
Tina’s POV:When I heard this, my scalp tingled uneasily. At my mother’s words, a sudden realization dawned on me. “Mom, Anya was nearly killed by hit-man. Did you hire him to get after her?”“No, no!” She tried her best to hide her panic.My heart rose to my throat. “Mom, tell me the truth. Did you do it?”“Don’t ask so much first. Tell me, who did you transfer those two sums of money to? And what have you done? How can I help you if you don’t tell me?”When I heard this, I wailed and burst into tears again.Seeing this, she asked, “Oh, my god, don’t tell me, you are having affair with that broke loser again? Did you spend all that on him?”“No way!”“Well, what exactly is it? You are really making your poor mother anxious!”I blew my eyes. “Mom, I have gotten a bit trouble this time. If someone finds
Anya’s POV:It was already Christmas Eve!I had yet to recover, so I could only stay in the hospital for Christmas.A loud sound was heard.The whistle of fireworks came from outside the widow. Bright fireworks boomed in the sky.Seeing this Miss Chain and Lillian ran to the window quickly. “Who is setting fireworks?”“Wow! The fireworks are very beautiful!”Fireworks were strictly prohibited in X city. Only during major holidays like Christmas or Independence Day could they be released at a designated location. The police had to maintain order at the scene.Therefore, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up fireworks. Moreover, it was something that anyone with money could plan.Another sound was heard.Another round of fireworks bloomed in the sky, adding color and sparks to half of the X city.“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” The nurse we
Evan’s POV:I coughed and my face twitched. I was a little angry.I thought, “This silly woman really doesn’t know how to back down. She really wants me to lose face. Why can’t she just follow my wishes and take the initiative to mention marrying me? Forget it! I shall swallow my pride. It doesn’t mean anything. My wife is more important!”I flicked my tongue and pretended to touch the tip of my nose!“Anya, I want to tell you something!”“Go ahead!” She looked at me seriously.I looked at the servants and said, “All of you get out first.”“Yes, Sir!” Miss Chain, Lilian, and others didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly left the ward.After they left, I suddenly choked and stammered, “Anya…”I was usually a deceived and determined person.However, now, I felt inexplicably awkward about proposing to my ex-wife.
Anya’s POV:My heart sank and I didn’t want to continue the topic. “Don’t talk about these things today!”“Yes, yes, yes! It’s Christmas. I should say something happy!”“Let’s watch the fireworks!”We heard another loud sound.The fireworks outside were still blooming in the sky.The two little boys could not help but run to the window. “Wow, the fireworks are really beautiful!”“Mommy, look! Daddy specially prepared these for you. Are you touched?”I looked at the dazzling fireworks outside the window and felt a pain in my heart.“Evan, can you stop not to be so high-profile? You are putting me in a difficult position.”I was now the Queen of Topics X city again. I didn’t want to be the topic of gossip.“What’s there to be troubled about. I am clearing your name. Let everyone know that I
Mia’s POV:Tina continued crying, “Mom, what should we do now?”“Go find him. Anyway, you are pregnant now. I don’t believe he dares to do anything to you.”“Mom…”I was infuriated. I said angrily, “Let’s go to the hospital. Find that bitch Anya Walter.“That’s not a good idea!”“What’s wrong with that? We just have to go there and create a scene. If she doesn’t feel embarrassed, we will go there every day and give her more trouble!”Hearing this Frank retorted, “Oh my God, can you stop making such a fuss? Isn’t this messy enough?”My eyes widened in anger. I pointed at his nose and scolded, “Are you going or not? Can you bear to see your daughter suffer? Can you bear to see your daughter be a single mother? I don’t even know how you became a father!”Frank’s POV:I
Anya’s POV:And I was treated even worse than a stranger.“Anya, why are you still so stubborn? This is a family scandal. Why do you have to make it public? You have looks, a career, and there are lot of good men out there. Why don’t you let go of Evan.No matter what, as Tina’s father, I will certainly settle the matter today. You can’t be with the Evan. Evan and Tina are couple. If you insist on being stubborn, I will really not acknowledge you as my daughter.”“I don’t want to say anything else. You can say whatever you want.”Tina cried until her face was covered in tears and her nose was all runny. Although her tone was soft, it was filled with strong threats. “Anya, I beg you, don’t pester Evan anymore. I really can’t take it anymore. If you continue to with Evan, I will kill myself. If I die, I won’t let you have it easy either. I will drag you and your children down with
Anya’s POV:My heart sank when I overheard the two men gossiping away.“Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your cell phone?”The two vagrants looked at me casually while looking at the phone, “No way! My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon. Moreover, what kind of person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?”I feared Evan would trace my cell phone location. Therefore, I left it behind.I would have the register with my real ID if I were to apply for a new SIM card.“Sir, I will buy you a cell phone instead.” I took a wallet from my canvas bag and retrieved $200.“I pay for your phone. You can use the money to buy new one.” I said and handed the money to the homeless man.Homeless man’s POV:I looked surprised and became speechless. I looked at the woman skeptically.It was strange that she offered $200 to buy this old phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. I was puzzled.Moreover, someone who cas
Anya’s POV:I became even more aimless after leaving X City West.The weather changed gradually, and dark clouds gathered. The wind blew strongly, cleaning the streets of pedestrians.The storm was apparently about to descend.I felt the chill and tightened my jacket.I had to find another place to stay quickly.Although I had money, I would have to register with my identity card to stay in a better hotel. The same regulation applies in ordinary home stays.It was challenging to find another homestay without an identity card.I subconsciously stopped in my tracks when an overpass passed me.Many unemployed people and vagrants gathered under the overpass. Land in the X city was scarce, and every inch was worth its weight in gold. Many could not afford the tiniest house and resorted to living under the overpass.I looked around.Many homeless people had set up mosquito nets to make independent tents. I would probably have to do the same under the overpass if I did not want to register w
Evan’s POV:Half an hour later, I arrived at the Home stay in the suburbs.I was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.“Where is she?” I asked anxiously.The Lady boss of the homestead was shocked to see many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”She quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.The public living room was occupied with surveillance.I took a look and became excited. “Yes, yes, that’s her!”In this surveillance video, Anya held a bowl of medicine and was about to drink it.At the same time, my heart sank. “What was she drinking? What was it?”“Oh, she said she had a cold, and it’s cold medicine. “The Lady boss replied.“She left this behind.” The Lady boss quickly brought over Anya’s medicine.“Mark, go and check immediately. What’s in this medicine?” I instructed.Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Carter, the formula is abortion medicine.”Boom!I staggered and almost lost my balance. My
Lady Boss’ POV:I scoffed before changing the channel with a remote control.Unexpectedly, Evan Carter also had a press conference on another channel.I switched a few channels consecutively, all of which were news about Evan Carter looking for Anya Walter.Evan booked the prime time advertising for several TV stations for this purpose.“If any of you know the whereabouts of Anya Walter, please inform me. You will be rewarded handsomely.” Evan promised.“Oh my! Evan Carter is lofty indeed to look for a missing wife on Prime TV. A rich man always gets his way with money.” I looked at the young woman subconsciously as I commented sarcastically.Only then did I realize something unusual with the young woman before me.She wore a cap and sunglasses in an ordinary outfit.However, her temperament was different from the home stays other guests. She had exquisite facial features, and her skin was delicate and translucent.To be honest, she looked a lot like Anya Walter.My heart skipped a be
Anya’s POV:I returned to the small clinic to get the medicine at the agreed time.“Doctor, is the medicine ready?” I asked.The doctor nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it is ready for collection.”“I concocted some medicine that’s less harmful to the body and has milder medical effects.”The doctor was alone in the small clinic. There were no nurses. He handed the medicine to me.I looked and saw a dozen black-brown medicinal bags in the plastic carrier. “How do you take it?”“It’s a traditional medicine ready for consumption. Take a packet every morning, noon, and night for three consecutive days. The fetus will turn into blood and discharge through your vagina.” The doctor instructed carefully.My brows knotted, and I vaguely felt my abdomen twitch, as if the fetus inside me sensed danger and protested silently.“Okay, how much is it?”“400 dollars.”I frowned again. Then I took out $400 from my wallet.The fee was indeed a little expensive.A reputable hospital would have cost less t
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
Evan’s POV:My chest heaved violently as I digested Kester’s words. My face twisted in a murderous rage.Judging from Kester’s tone, he was probably telling the truth. Anya had not come to look for him. This made me even more worried.If she encountered bad people, the consequences would be more unimaginable.Soon, night fell.I returned home and rushed to the second floor.After looking at the safe, I was even more anxious.“Mr. Carter, we still haven’t found her…”The bodyguards had searched for an entire day, but they still couldn’t find Anya.They had no choice but to return and report their failure to me. “Mr. Carter, the bodyguard team faces constrains in our abilities. Perhaps, we should call the police instead.”When I heard this, the corner of my lips twitched. “Call the police? Is there something wrong with your worthless brains?”
Evan’s POV:Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Carter family had joined to search for Anya.“Anya… Anya…” My eyes were bloodshot as I punched the bed frame.I knew Anya had not forgiven me.No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the whole time.She deliberately pretended to reconcile with me, so I would let my guard down.No wonder she acted as though she had forgotten about the past. She was already making plans to flee.“I will give you two hours to find Anya. If you can’t find her, you'll get lost.”“Got it. Mr Carter!”Gael was calling again.I answered the call, feeling slightly frustrated, “What is it?”“Mr. Carter, bad news. I just checked the safe. Miss Anya’s document and passport are missing.”When I heard this. I felt wave
