Frank’s POV:After two o'clock in the afternoon, the maid wheeled me to X City Hospital.A while later, we arrived at the door of the intensive care unit.The lamps over our heads hurt glowed pale white, making everyone's face look gloomy.Evan was sitting in a chair on the left side of the corridor, while Kester was on the right side.Their bodyguards and assistants were standing on both sides of the corridors. Although there were many people, they stood in a line on the two sides, as serious soldiers on guard.Those who didn’t know would think that they were guarding some big shot.“Mr. Walter is here!” The nurse held me over.After a glance at me, Evan and Kester reacted with their gaze at the same time.I, who was sitting in the wheelchair felt a little uneasy. “I am here to take a look at Anya!”The corridor fell silent.No one seemed to want to talk to me, let alone tell me about Anya’s current situation.Author’s POV:Kester ignored Frank. He treated Anya so badly that he almos
Coral’s POV:After freezing for a while, I unwittingly looked back in the corridor.‘Why would Princess Martha call me?’Princess Martha said disappointedly. “ I called Evan, but he didn’t answer.”“Miss Martha, how did you get back phone number?”“I called the front desk of the company and got the number from the receptionist.”“Oh, I see! Whats the matter?”“Are you with Evan? What happened to him? Why has he never answered my calls?”“Well, wait a minute.”I covered the phone, hurried to Evan, and whispered, “Mr.Carter, Princess Martha. wants to talk to you.”Evan’s POV:I frowned.For the past three days, I had been so anxious that I didn’t have the mood to answer anyone’s call.“Hi, Martha!”Princess Martha’s aggrieved cries came from the other end of the line. “Evan, why didn’t you answer the call? Do you know how much I am worried about you? Why don’t you get in touch with me? Why?”“Martha, I am not able to come.”“Evan, you promised that you would come to Novlis to see my fat
Evan’s POV:Anya was still in a coma.She had a lot of wounds on her body, some of them so deep that I could see her bones.Fortunately, she didn’t lose any part of her body in the explosion.Seeing Anya like this, I felt a pinch in my head and tears welled up.“Anya, you must wake up!”“Our children are waiting for you at home. They can’t live without you. Do you hear me? You love them the most, right? As long as you wake up, I am willing to return them to you. Anya, come on, wake up.” I slowly grabbed Anya’s hand.I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore.Sometimes, death comes all of a sudden.In the face of it, people didn’t care about the things they used to care about very much. If I could turn back time, I would certainly cherish Anya’s love for me and would not allow our relationship to end up like this.“Anya do you know how much I love you? I admit that I am not a good man. I am a jerk. I have done a lot of things that hurt you. I know I deserve to die, and that many people wan
Evan’s POV:I came back exhausted at 6:00 PM. I had not been home for three days.If my daughter had not called me today, I would be waiting at the hospital at this point.In the living room, three kids were waiting for me, and the sofa bit side by side.“Dad, you are back.”“Yes!” I replied in a muffled voice. My gloomy face made me look sad and weary.The kids all looked at me solemnly. “Dad…”I took off my coat and handed it to the servant. When I saw the children’s strange expressions, I could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why did you look so upset?”Jason immediately said, “Dad, I heard that something happened to Mommy. Is that true?”My face darkened. “Who told you that?”After the accident, I reminded the butler not to tell the children about what happened to Anya.Therefore, no one dares to talk about
Evan's POV:Looking at the three crying children, I felt even worse.Anya was their mother. If she died, no one could replace her in their heart.“Okay, don’t cry. As long as you listen to me, I will take you to see Mom.”When the children hear this, they quickly stop crying. “We promise we will good. We are very worried about Mom, and want to go to the hospital to see her now.”“You have to listen to me when you go to the hospital. Do you hear me?”“Got it? Don’t worry, Dad. We will be good.”I took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Then go have dinner now. Go to bed early after you are done eating. It’s already too late. I will take you to the hospital at morning tomorrow morning.”“Alright!”The kids didn’t dare to cry anymore and went as they were told.Kester’s POV:After Evan left, I finally had the c
Jerry’s POV:I was on my father's side and overheard the conversation between them.“Jason, you know how to restore the surveillance data, right? Please do your best to restore it. We must find that bad guy.”When Jason heard this, he wiped his tears.“Jerry, don’t worry. I will certainly find that bad guy who tried to kill Mom!”“Alright, you’ve already seen Mom! Hurry up and go home.”“Lillian, take the kids home.”“We were not leaving. We want to stay with Mom.”Dad put on a serious look, saying, “No, you can’t stay here, because it will affect your mom’s recovery. Go home right now. I promise I will bring you to see Mom again when she walks up.”I tugged Jason's sleeve and whispered, “Jason, let’s go! We will go back and investigate the bad guy who hurt Mom.”Jason nodded hard when he heard t
Evan’s POV:I rushed to the airport.Princess Martha was sitting alone on the bench at the airport without any luggage.“Martha!” I called out in a deep voice.Princess Martha was overjoyed to see me.She immediately ran over and threw herself into my arms. “Evan, I know you would come. I know you would still love me.”I frowned. “Martha, why are you doing this? Go home now. I will go meet you after I am done with my business.”Martha no longer believed me. She shook her head, “No, I am not leaving. Evan, I love you. I want to marry you. Without you, I feel like life is meaningless. I will die without you!” With that, she began to cry.I felt so helpless. I warily looked around, afraid that the media would take photos of us. “Let’s go. I will send you to the hotel first.”When she heard that, she sniffed and followed me out.But I was worried,
Evan’s POV:As the two were arguing, a doctor in a white gown and mask walked over, followed by four series-looking nurses. The doctor looked at us and warned us sternly. “You are in the hospital now. Please don’t make such a noise. It will affect the patients.”“Humph!” Kester and I looked at each other with disdain.“Doctor, when will Anya woke up?”“If she continues to sleep like this, will she become a vegetable?”The doctor replied with a serious expression. “The patient is in critical condition and needs to be undergo such emergency surgery. Calm down. You don’t have to worry so much.”We both were stunned.The doctor seemed to be a little strange.Without saying anything else, he walked into the intensive care unit with the nurses.A short while later, they wheeled Anya out.Kester asked nervously, “Doctor, where are you going to the surgery? You didn’t say anything about the surgery before.”“We observed in the monitoring room and found that there was something wrong with the
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
