Chapter 292
Ian answered the phone in a shaky voice, "Arianna, go to the Southrea Villas! Something happened to
Monique!"
I was bewildered, "But Monique is in the country, isn't she? When did she come to Jarold City?"
"I'm not sure yet. Sawyer just called me, saying that he found Monique unconscious at his doorstep half
an hour ago. He called a doctor, but I don't know how it's going right now. You should go and see for
yourself. I'm still at Mesville's airport, and I won't be back before tomorrow morning. Drive safely!"
There wasn't much time for me to waste on processing the news. Hanging up the phone, I put on my
coat in a hurry while calling Sawyer.
Minnie didn't know what had happened. Seeing how frantic I was, she followed behind me and asked,
"What's wrong, Arianna? What's the matter? Relax. Don't worry. Let's call Master Hendrix first, okay?"
I didn't have time to wait for Minnie to call Hendrix. Pacing out of the house towards the garage, I said,
"Minnie, please tell Hendrix
that I'll be at the Southrea Villas."
Since there were bodyguards on duty at home, I called them to drive me to the Southrea Villas.
I had to call several times to get through Sawyer's phone. Judging from the noises in the background, it
should be hectic over there.
"Arianna!"
I held my breath and asked, "Is Monique with you? How is she? Is she safe? How about her baby?"
The longer I spent without seeing Monique for myself, the more anxious I was. My limbs turned cold
and sweaty, and I couldn't stop trembling.
"She's fine. Everything is alright. The doctors ran some tests on her, and it turned out that she slightly
overdosed on sleeping pills. Once the drug effects wore off, she'll wake up. The baby's very healthy
too! So, don't worry," Sawyer didn't hold back on the details, answering my questions one by one.
Then, he continued to comfort me, "Calm down. I'll take good care of Monique. You just stay at home
for the time being. Everything can wait until you deliver the baby!"
I was too flustered. When I heard his words, questions kept popping out in my mind. Why did someone
give Monique sleeping pills? Why did she suddenly appear in Jarold City when she was supposed to
be in the countryside?
I suddenly recalled Valerie's threat from before.
With that in mind, I called Hendrix. The phone kept ringing, but he didn't answer the phone either.
When I called again, the phone was turned off.
Something bad had happened. I could feel it.
Suddenly, I realized that Valerie might be the person behind Monique's sudden appearance in Jarold
City, aiming to hurt me and my baby.
Upon the realization, I patted on the back of the driver's seat and yelled, "Turn around! Go back now!"
However, before the bodyguard that drove the car could turn around, the car was hit by a huge impact.
Out of instinct, the bodyguard hit the brake. Being trained, he figured out the dire situation we were
placed in almost immediately, and he stepped on the gas with full force.
However, before we could go far, a black SUV head-on crashed into our car.
My fear and anxiety spiked after the two forceful strikes, and I began to feel the pain in my lower
abdomen area. Instantly, I broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the baby might be coming out soon.
I gasped for air in pain and instructed the bodyguards, "Call the police, and keep the doors locked!"
The pain in my lower abdomen was getting more intense as the time ticked, and it frightened me.
Neither the baby nor I would survive what was going to happen next if help didn't arrive soon enough.
Therefore, I made a decision. After struggling to take out my phone, I called Aaron. He picked up
almost instantly.
"Arianna!"
"Aaron, help me! Nulens Road —" A sudden loud bang startled me, cutting me short before I could
finish my sentence. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
The people from the SUV had gotten out of their car. They smashed on our car windows and brutally
pulled the doors open. The bodyguards tried to protect me, but the men in black injected drugs into
their necks, and they soon passed out.
