Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1556
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and replied , “Well, as long as you ‘re with me, I can drink however much you want. “
Lucas bit his lip and glanced at Joshua with a worried look. He wan ted to say something, but in the end , kept his mouth shut.
He knew that Joshua had a weak stomach and that he had promised Ma ‘am in the past that he would not drink again , but …
Lucas knew that his opinions did not matter to Joshua, so he had no say in any of this. Instead, he shot Luke a meaningful look while Joshua had his eyes closed , signaling him not to let Joshua drink too much at night.
Nightfall soon came.
That night, Joshua experienced the familiar stomach pain he had not felt in a long time and was sent to the hospital.
At the same time, a minivan pulled out of Landry Mansion in the dead of night.
Eight months later.
A small yard on the outskirts of Merch ant City was illuminated with lights.
Luna lay on the bed, drenched in sweat. She clutched the bed sheets tightly, her face so pale that she looked almost colorless.
“You can do it. The child is almost here. It ‘s almost here!” The midwif e tried to encourage her.
Luna was in so much pain that tears sprung into her eyes.
Because she had been pregnant with triplets in the past, she did not choose to have a normal vaginal delivery and instead underwent a C-section.
However, for her second birth, she wan ted to have a vaginal delivery, and the doctors had already confirmed that she was eligible for that.
However, she never expected it to be so tiring and hurt so much!
Luna gritted her teeth and used every ounce of strength in her body to push the baby out. Finally, she heard the midwife’s delighted crows, “It ‘s here , it ‘s here! The baby’s here! “
The midwife ‘ s voice was accompanied by a baby ‘ s cries.
Luna felt reassured as soon as she heard the baby 1s cries. She finally closed her eyes in exhaustion.
She had finally given birth to the baby safe and sound. According to the sound of its cries, it seemed like a healthy baby.
Luna closed her eyes, smiling bitterly.
Finally…she did not have to live her life in fear anymore…
However, Luna did not expect that as soon as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The door opened , and a man stood outside the room. The man was holding a stillborn child in his hands.
The midwif e quickly placed the crying baby in the man ‘s arms and then took the stillborn child. At the same time, she whispered in a low voice , “Second Master Quinn, this is the first time in my life I ‘ve ever done something like this. You have to keep to your promise. Two hundred thousand dollars, not a penny less! “
The man gently cradled the baby in his arms and sneered , “Why would I trick you out of so little money? You have to wrap the baby up tight when she wakes up later. If she notices anything wrong, I ‘ll kill you!”
The midwif e nodded. “Don ‘t worry about that!”
Hunter turned and glanced into the room. After making sure that Luna was indeed fast asleep, drenched entirely in sweat, he snickered and got into the car, holding the baby.
The car zipped through the night toward the heart of Merchant City.
Slam!
Hunter ‘s car crashed into a van just a short distance from Luna’s house.
The huge impact made Hunter curse underneath his breath. Just as he was about to stop the car and bicker with the driver of the van, a few men, dressed in black, got out of the van and surrounded him. “Hand over the child.”
Hunter froze, then raised his eyebrows questioningly. “Are you Joshua ‘s men? “
One of the men snickered and replied , “Who on earth is Joshua?”
With that , the man flung open the car door, picked up the baby in the backseat, and headed back toward the van.
A knife was pressed against Hunter’s throat , and he was so nervous that he did not even dare to breathe too hard.
The men brought the baby into the van and disappeared into the night.
Sitting in the driver ‘s seat, Hunter grew even more nervous, his body breaking out into cold sweats.
With the child so suddenly abducted…how was he supposed to tell this to Malcolm?
At this moment, his phone rang.
It was from Malcolm. “How long do we have to wait?
Be quick! Heather can’t spin this any longer, so you ‘d better bring the baby over quickly! ” Hunter ‘ s entire body was covered in sweat. “Alright… I 1m coming. I ‘m coming!”
