Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 771 - Bab 780

After a while, David reacted.He looked at Rebecca on the screen and asked, "So, did you call to ask about Ellen?"Rebecca nodded. "Yeah. I called him, but he didn't answer. Isn't he still in the hospital? I saw that he's suddenly back in Seardale, so I got worried for a bit. Just wanted to make sure he's fine."David was silent for a moment before asking, "What about me?""What about you?" Rebecca was confused.David looked down and said in an aggrieved tone. "I am also back in Seardale."He even put behind the Winston Group to rush back here.Did Rebecca not care about him?Rebecca looked at his expression for a moment before realizing what he meant.Then, she chuckled and thought about how childish David was.Was he really jealous of Ellen now?After some thought, Rebecca said respectfully, "Mr. Winston, you're capable and powerful, so I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine. Also, I thought you were still in Fairport, and being in your home country must be safe, right? But sin

Rebecca parted ways with Alex and Carissa early the next day. She refused to third-wheel their date. So, she firmly turned down Carissa's offer to join, even if the latter insisted. She then dragged her suitcase toward Caleb's car under Alex's satisfied gaze.As for Daniel, he joined Rebecca. The only difference was he had driven here. Naturally, he couldn't be shameless and hitch a ride in Caleb's car.The two cars drove in a single file as they sped to Fairport. They arrived around noon, which was also lunchtime.Rebecca didn't rush Caleb into parking the car. While he casually drove around the city center, she looked up nearby restaurants to have lunch in.She ultimately decided on a restaurant specializing in northern cuisine. The reviews claimed the food was authentic, and Rebecca wanted to try lobster rolls. So, she wanted to get a table there.They soon found a spot and parked. The car behind them did the same. Rebecca's ex-husband, who looked ever so familiar yet forei

Darren's frail face appeared on the screen once the call connected.Perhaps he was infuriated by Daniel's actions. He seemed in a worse condition compared to when Daniel last saw him at the hospital. Even his phone's camera filter couldn't fix his weak complexion.Darren parted his lips, and his feeble voice rang out. He struggled for a long time but could only utter "Winston" several times.Daniel scoffed before speaking blandly. "Don't get yourself too worked up when you're ill, Grandpa. You'll have no time to worry about things if your illness worsens. Why don't you save your energy instead? That way, you'll at least enjoy your blessed life in these last moments. It's only a pity that you'll have to enjoy it in the hospital.""Daniel Winston, how dare you speak to your grandpa like that?" Darren's phone was propped up on the phone holder on the bed, but the voice that spoke was a woman's. The woman's tone was as sharp as Daniel always remembered.Daniel maintained his usual f

Rebecca ultimately made an appointment for a full body check-up after some thought. Her appointment was on the coming Monday since she didn't get much rest this week. Plus, she was wrapping up her design draft now. She needed two days for final adjustments before submitting the draft to Daniel.Once Rebecca submitted it, she could rest on the remaining two days of the week. Then, she'd go to the doctor next week.If anything were to surprise her, it would likely be the birth of her little nephew. That would cause her schedule to stray. Even so, nothing mattered more to her than welcoming the new Johnson family member's birth.As luck would have it, Penny texted the Johnson family's group chat that night. Rebecca had just showered and immediately changed out of her pajamas to rush to the hospital. Upon arrival, she saw many people standing outside the delivery room.Zelda and Kenneth sat on the bench outside with nervous expressions. Standing aside was Rebecca's oldest sister-

"That's just as expected of a wealthy heir who has trained for such situations abroad. You really aren't afraid, huh?" The man who held Rebecca captive grabbed her bag. He had somehow tied her hands with a soft material. Yet, it also felt like a cold metal.He added, "Apologies, Ms. Johnson. I must remain professional since someone else has entrusted me with this task. You can't buy my loyalty by giving me more money. I'd end up more miserable if I accepted your money. Since you're someone with quick wits, please cooperate with me. We won't hurt you."Rebecca no longer spoke. She complied with their request because she couldn't risk shaking things up before knowing their motives.Two men had kidnapped her, and they both wore black face masks. They also donned special protective gear on their hands. The majority of their body was covered.Rebecca only noticed the mark on the wall beside the elevator when they forced her back into the elevator. It was obvious. Yet, regular people wou
