Essie was missing.
The nurse who came to make the rounds of the wards in the morning pushed the door open and found
that Essie was not in the ward. The servant was sleeping soundly beside her and didn't even know she
was going out.
They searched the whole hospital but didn't find her.
The news was soon reported by the paparazzi.
When Walt saw the news, he immediately launched a secret search in Dragon City. This was a good
opportunity for him to take away Essie. He must find Essie before Essie.
It was getting dark.
The night wind blew from the peak of the mountain in the distance, causing leaves to fall, floating in the
air and spreading all over the forest.
Essie stood under a flower tree in the park. Her white windbreaker fluttered with the wind, and the light
hemline of her dress was like the undulating waves in the sea, the surging clouds in the sky, and more
like the dancing spirits in the dark night.
She didn't move, as if she was just a shadow cast by a locust tree, and a few pieces of residual red fell
at the end of her hair. She didn't notice it at all, but looked at the distant sky in a daze.
There was no star or moon in the sky tonight, which reflected a sense of bleak.
Perhaps, it had nothing to do with the night sky or the stars and moon. What mattered was her
desperate face.
When the cold wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver. The residual red fell from the tip of her hair, like
crushed rouge, embedded in the wrinkles of the edge of her dress. She seemed to have noticed it. She
shook her dress. She didn't like the red color, like blood, too dazzling.
She squatted down and sat on the grass. Looking at the dark sky in the distance, she sobbed in a low
voice.
At this moment, a strong arm held her in his arms.
"Cathy, I finally found you." The man's voice was full of excitement.
Turning her head to look at him, Essie asked, "Why are you here?" She was slightly stunned, and then
closed her eyes and fainted in his arms.
He picked her up and walked out of the park.
In the car, he drove directly out of dragon city to the secret villa in the wild of D City.
There were bodyguards guarding outside the villa.
It was not until Walt opened the door and put her on the big bed that she woke up. Looking at the
strange surroundings, she twitched violently. "Steven, where is this?"
"It's our temporary home," Walt said.
As if being stabbed by a needle, Essie suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed his arm. "Where is
our child? Is he with you? I want to see him. I want to see him!"
"Don't worry. The baby is fine." Walt called the nanny in, holding a chubby and beautiful baby.
"Let me hug you!" Essie couldn't wait to take the baby over. She opened his clothes and saw the star
shaped birthmark on her arm. Tears welled up in her eyes. "My child, my poor child. I finally see you!"
She lowered her head and kept kissing his little face, telling him how much she missed him.
The baby was sound asleep, neither noisy nor crying. It seemed that he had been familiar with the
strange environment here and had no idea that he had returned to his mother's arms.
"Cathy, do you remember the days when we were on the island?" Walt looked at her with sharp eyes.
Essie knew that he was testing her. With the lesson that May pretended to be her last time, he would
certainly be more vigilant. She sniffed to control her excitement, and then smiled sadly, "How could I
not remember? You lied to me when I lost my memory that you were my lover and won my trust and
affection. Otherwise, how could you have this child? " she said lightly, but her tone was quite cold, with
blame and anger.
The corners of Walt's mouth twitched, and a look of shame swept across his face. "Cathy, I really love
you. Don't go back again. Stay with me and our child, okay?" He gazed at her without a blink, with
deeply pleading in his eyes.
Lowering her head, Essie said, "Zac..." She wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
"He has done that to you. What else do you attach to?" Walt frowned.
Shaking her head, Essie sighed, "Even if I want to leave, Zac won't let me go. He doesn't allow
betrayal."
"I will deal with him. Don't worry." Walt gritted his teeth.
Holding the baby in her arms, Essie pretended to be pacing. She walked to the window and glanced
out of the corner of her eyes. The bodyguards were patrolling around cautiously.
She turned around and looked at him with a mocking smile. "Zac broke my heart. But, how
much do you love me? Up to now, you have been wearing a mask to face me. You don't dare to show
your true face, and even your name is fake. How can I trust you? Do I have to live with a mask for the
rest of my life? What's more, have you ever considered my feelings when you stole the child without
saying a word? Do you know how worried and anxious I am? Do you know that my heart is like grilling
on the fire every day, and it hurts to death? "
Her voice was full of irony, doubt, accusation and anger. Her tone made Walt sure that the person in
front of him was indeed Essie, not the substitute, May. Because only she had the courage and
stubbornness to challenge him!
"I'm sorry. I want to face you frankly, but I can't. I have to wait until Zac's threat is removed," Walt said
apologetically.
"You're afraid of Zac, aren't you? You'll just hide like a coward, just like the dead mouse Willi!" Essie
sneered.
"I have never been afraid of anyone, including him!" Walt was almost roaring, and a muscle on his face
was twitching violently.
Maybe it was because his voice was too loud that the baby woke up and began to cry.
The wet nurse came over and wanted to take the child over, but Essie pushed her away. From now on,
she would not let anyone touch her child here.
"You can go out first. I'll feed the baby."
Realizing that he was out of control, he calmed down and said, "I'll ask someone to cook something for
you later." He waved at the nanny and walked out with her.
Sitting on the bed, Essie unbuttoned her shirt. Her baby stopped crying as soon as he began to suckle.
"Baby, Mommy is here. I will take you out of here soon," she looked at the baby in her arms and said in
a low voice.
The baby looked at her with his big eyes and waved his little hands in the air, as if he was playing with
her.
"Baby, you still remember Mommy, don't you?" Essie kissed his chubby little hand, her eyes full of love.
The baby babbled two times, as if responding to her.
"Baby, daddy is outside. He will come in to save us soon," Essie said in a voice close to lip reading.
She looked at the watch on her wrist. It was not only a satellite navigation device, but also a
communication device. If she was right, Zac and Jay had already hidden outside the villa. So she was
not afraid at all.
However, Zac was not as easy as her. Hiding in the depths of the forest, he was nervous all over his
body, with cold sweat on his forehead. He felt like a time bomb tied to his body, which was about to
explode at any time.
He had planned to ask May to play his wife, but was rejected by Essie. Steven was a very cunning
man. She was worried that May would expose her lie. This plan was their last chance. They could only
succeed, and they couldn't fail.
'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'. So she had to take the risk herself. She could do anything for her
baby.
"Boss, take it easy. We have surrounded this place. Mrs. Essie will be fine," Jay noticed his
nervousness and comforted him.
Zac glared at him. He couldn't relax until his wife came out and stood in front of him unharmed.
"I must kill that bastard this time!" His handsome face was full of bloodthirsty cruelty, and he was ready
to kill anyone at any time.
"This time, even if he has nine lives, I will kill him one by one!" Jay blew the muzzle of the gun in his
hand. Their guns were equipped with silencers to avoid alerting the enemy.
However, it was not the right time to make a move. When the midnight came, half of the bastard
guarding outside retreated, they would begin to take action.
In the villa, Walt knocked on the door. The nanny had already prepared the midnight snack.
After getting dressed, Essie opened the door and walked out with the baby in her arms.
"Have some food first. Let the nanny take care of the baby," Walt said.
"No, thanks. It's my baby. I can hold him myself. I don't need others to interfere," Essie replied coldly.
Walt sighed, "Are you still angry with me?"
"Yes." Essie glared at him, anger rising from her face. "If you could give me some information and let
me know that the child is in your hands, I wouldn't be so worried. The child is yours. You won't hurt him.
But you left nothing. I thought my child was kidnapped and nobody knew whether he was alive or dead.
You even cruelly made up a false event and threatened me with a burned baby body. Are you trying to
drive me crazy? "
Walt reached out his hand and held hers. "It's all my fault. I'll make it up to you."
"How are you going to make it up to me? You are just one of Willi's subordinates. He can abandon you
at any time as he abandons Reid. I betrayed Zac with you. If you die, will Zac let go of me and our
child? " Frowning, Essie looked worried.
"It's hard to say who will be the final winner between Zac and me. Besides, Willi can't control me. We
just take what we need from each other. " Walt snorted. He shouldn't have co-existence with Zac since
they were equal in wit and capability.
"So you're not Willi's subordinate?" Essie asked, her dark eyes moving left and right.
"How do you know I'm his subordinate?" He raised his eyebrows. As the eldest Son of the Rong family,
how could he bow to others?
"It seems that I underestimated you." With a sly smile on her face, Essie said, "Even if my man is not a
hero, he should be the boss of the devil. If you really want to be with me, you can't be worse than
Zac!"
