Chapter 274 Pregnancy and Kidnapping

As soon as Elly heard the call, she turned around, The other was surprised when she recognized him. As she bumped Nicholas, Elly was like seeing hope. She approached happily, frankly. "Nice to meet you here!"

The kind words suddenly blurted out, which puzzled Nicholas. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Please, take me to the door of the hospital."

"What?" Nicholas was stupefied for a few seconds and suddenly laughed as soon as he remembered something. "So, you're still blind. Can't you find the moonlight?"

Elly was not ashamed and laughed happily.

Nicholas suddenly pulled her by the wrist and led her into the elevator regardless of the eyes of the nurses around her.

She hurriedly pushed his hand and said gratefully. "You don't have to hold my hands. I'll follow it. How can I get there?"

But he won't let go of e her hand until he reaches the elevator door. Elly was led all the way and she said sheepishly. "Thank you for helping me find my way. Go back to work. The doctor is not on duty. That's not good."

As soon as she finished speaking and as soon as the elevator door opened, Elly came in. Nicholas, who was already standing beside her, startled her. "I won't get lost from here to the hall and the door."

Nicholas blinked. "You misunderstood. I have to go out".

Elly rolled her eyes and looked at the cloth on his body, silent.

"Do you visit someone at the hospital or to see a doctor?" He asked.

"I went for a medical examination before I got married."

Nicholas was startled, dumbfounded, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Premarital health check-up? You're getting married to Alex?"

Elly smiled happily and nodded in embarrassment.

"Congratulations!" His face was disordered and he tried to control her face so that she wouldn't read her mind and talk about other things quickly. "What a surprise. You got married so young."

"Am I young?" Elly was deterred by this remark. "I am 30 and besides, my son went to kindergarten."

As soon as the news came out, his voice trembled as lightning struck Nicholas. "Do you have a son? But aren't you married yet?"

He looked at her bewildered and suddenly found that everything around him had become strange to him. With a blank expression on her face, Elly gave a simple explanation without thinking.

"To tells you the truth, I have been married before, but for many reasons, I divorced him. After a lot of things, we want to remarry, and Alex wants to take this opportunity to make it up to me for a wedding."

Elly regards Nicholas as a friend, and she speaks in a very selfless manner.

When the elevator door was open, Elly went outside and found him standing and asked. "Why haven't you come out yet? It's already on the first floor."

He smiled in an unnatural voice. "I remember I left my phone on the table. I'm going back to get it. You go first. I'll see you another day."

The elevator door is about to close, so it's too late to tell Elly.

Nicholas was stunned in the elevator did not recover after the earthquake. He never imagined that the girl he loved was not only married but also had a child who went to kindergarten. This fact made him unwilling to accept it, and his heart was full of contradictions. He didn't know whether to give up this feeling or continue to fight alone in vain.

When Elly selflessly returned to the door of the hospital, she received a call from Linda.

"Elly, are you at home or in the office? Let's go and have a cup of coffee or tea."

As she heard Linda's hasty voice, she was like inexplicable eyebrows. "I'm in the hospital. I just had a premarital physical examination. What happened? You sound sick."

Linda suddenly fell silent, and her voice sounded nervous a few seconds later. "You stay where you are and wait for me. I'll be back in an instant."

Elly sent her location and waited for her friends with the light of doubt. In less than 10 minutes, Linda quickly appeared.

As soon as she saw her, Linda put her hand in the corner, which surprised Elly. "What are you doing, did you steal?"

Linda bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before she spoke. "My menstruation has been late for two months. At first, I was irrational, but recently I was still tired, so I thought of it. I tried both yesterday morning and today, two lines."

Elly blinked to understand the news of her friend's words, and she stammered. "Are you two worried about our wedding?"

"Oh, don't play with me." Linda frowned and said wearily. "The two lines are completely pregnant, right? You have the experience to give me advice."

Linda said reluctantly. "So, what am I supposed to do? Do you think I should keep the baby? Forget it. Gerald won't know about it."

"Don't you want to marry Mr. Gerald?"

"No. I'm just not ready yet. It was so sudden."

When Elly heard that she was tired of the idea of abortion, she longed for Linda's evasive attitude. In short, she's not yet psychologically prepared, she has been forced into the authority of the mother, and everyone who experienced it was caught by surprise and panic. The decision made at the moment was not necessarily the right one.

Elly patiently persuaded "It is your child and Gerald and he at least has the right to know, right?"

Linda understands that Elly's words are reasonable. "Gerald is the father of the child, and he has the right to decide whether to keep or give up. But." Linda paused and continued. "We are just in love now, and we haven't talked about marriage yet. when the child comes all of a sudden, he will feel overwhelmed. When the child comes out of the plan, he will just feels overwhelmed by other's opinions," Linda said. She revolves around the thoughts of others.

Elly can understand Linda's anxiety, but she knew what it's like to be a mother. "When a child is born, every kind of conversation becomes a worthless float. It's like, the situation is messy now, so don't make a decision so early. Like me before, thinking is a surprise, but I don't give up at all. Isn't he a smart man who has grown up healthily now?

"Gerald and I both enjoy celibacy. We just take care of ourselves. I'm afraid it's very difficult to take care of the children." Linda sighed and her eyes were full of anxiety

"Don't worry. It is accurate to go to the hospital. If you are really pregnant, you should discuss it with Secretary Gerald directly. Don't rush to choose a decision you would regret." Elly said. She knew what she has to say would only make her friends more confused.

Linda was examined in the obstetrics department as she was persuaded by Elly, which confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.

As she looked at Linda's examination report, Elly was a little jealous. She looked at Linda's surprised expression, she thought sadly 'the world is always strange. Some people want it, and some people are not ready yet.'

As she knew that Linda was pregnant, Elly personally sent her home although Linda firmly refused.

"You're not alone anymore. Give me a chance to help both of you."

Linda could not refuse the enthusiasm and was ashamed to send Elly back. When the car was parked at the gate of Linda's subdivision, Elly did not forget to cheer her. "You should call Gerald as soon as possible. He will be very happy."

Linda nodded sheepishly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

.....

The meeting with the Company's partner just ended, and on the way back to Hargreaves, Secretary Gerald saw Linda's calling.

"Keep your eyes fixed on the names on the phone screen, plus the subordinates are hesitant," Alexis said faintly.

"Answer the phone. I don't mind."

He nodded and apologized to him, pressed the phone, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Babe?"

"Babe, I." The words were sandwiched on her tongue, and Linda found that she could not speak at all.

"What's wrong?" Gerald was afraid of something wrong and has a loud voice of suspicion.

"What happened?" He repeated. On the phone, he heard a breath, as if to muster up the courage to speak.

"Gerald, I'm pregnant."

Gerald missed and let the car run around. He smiled and bowed his head to Alex to apologize and luckily put on his headphones. Then ask carefully and look straight ahead to avoid a car accident.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Have you checked at the hospital? When did you find?"

Gerald misunderstood that he did not believe that she was pregnant and spoke in an unhappy tone. "If you're not sure, why did you call me?"

"What do you think this is funny?"

Realizing that she was angry, Gerald hastened to explain. "Honey, don't be angry. It's not that I don't believe it. I'm too excited. You have to understand that it takes time to get used to sudden news."

"Do you like kids?" She interrupted his panicked voice.

"I like you." Gerald did not speak blush, but his voice was loud and powerful, and he took Alex around him as nothing. "Because I like you, so I like it if we will have children."

After listening to these compliments, Alex was very dismissive, but he automatically remembered that the future would apply to Elly.

Linda asked urgently. "How would you decide about this child?"

"How should I decide? Of course, you have to wait for the baby with me." Secretary Gerald answered without hesitation, the joy in his eyes sparkled.

"But we were still getting to know each other, and the kid suddenly showed up."

Gerald snatched the words and didn't let her finish her worries. "If you like, we'll get the marriage license tomorrow morning."

Not only Linda was surprised, but Alex, whose face becomes sour was stunned for a few seconds because of shock.

Alex looked at Gerald with admiration and did not expect that the old secretary was smart enough to make such a decisive decision. The demeanor of a responsible person is exquisite by Gerald.

Secretary Gerald waited nervously for Linda's answer. After a moment of silence, Gerald's understated words sounded soft. "Now that I have proposed, will you consider marrying me?"

"No one loves you more than I do." She answered.

After that, the conversation became so intense that Alex was covered with goosebumps. He regretted agreeing to let Gerald answered the phone.

When Secretary Gerald turned off his phone, Alex deliberately joked. "My secretary runs really fast. Will you be one step ahead of me? "

Secretary Gerald smiled sinisterly and his eyes were full of victory. "I can't lose my superior. You've been a father for many years, and I don't want to be single anymore."

When his subordinates were happy, Alex was happy for him, but he deliberately pretended to regret it. "You become a father. You can no longer be my best man. It's a pity."

Alex blinked and deliberately made fun of him. "Or does you wait for my wife and me to be engaged and be her bridesmaids and then get a marriage license? You guys should line up in order"

Secretary Gerald looked gloomy and resolutely refused. "All in all, I'm a father and I can't play with a single man like you."

The two men looked at it for a while and both laughed.

As Elly took Linda home, she didn't go back to the Hargreaves' house. She drove alone on the aimless road until she could not bear the muggy air in the car, she turned into a nearby remote park. At this time, the park was quite quiet and inaccessible, and she likes the atmosphere full of plants and plants. Elly was tired of walking and sat on the stool.

When she learned that Linda was pregnant, she was happy for her best friend. But at the bottom of Elly's heart, there was a boundless disappointment.

'If you don't have a miscarriage, the baby must have been born' she thought.

"Honey, will you be a mother again?" Elly pressed her hands on her stomach and stared intently at the blue sky in front of her, her voice was very low as if she was afraid to frighten some invisible child. "I'm sorry. I am really very sorry"

With tears streaming down her face, Elly was stopped by a huge hand in her mouth. Elly was covered with her mouth and could not shout out. She didn't understand that she was covered by a man, the bracelet was lifted through her armpit, and a man, carrying her foot below, hurried out of the park and threw her directly into the trunk in the back.

As she looked at the strange man in front of him, Elly remained vigilance.

The man with the beard seems to be in charge and persuasive "Don't be afraid, we don't want to kill you. As long as you cooperate, I promise I won't hurt you, not even a hair."

The man who raised his hand tried to lift your face but was dumped.

Elly stepped back in panic, sat tightly in the car city, and looked at him suspiciously. She didn't believe these lies.

The ostracized, bushy beard understated her skeptical eyes. His voice maintained false patience. "With a kind heart, I won't touch you, but there's no guarantee that my brother won't do anything. The premise of safety is coordination and obedience. How about beauty?"

The threat held Elly back and glanced helplessly at an unfriendly face. Under her wrinkled eyes, the thoughts in her head ran around, and nodded slowly.

When her breathing calmed down, she could not see any movement of these people. Elly asked vigilantly. "Why did you kidnap me? What is your purpose?"

"Oh, my God, I don't like the word kidnapping at all." The man giggled, pulled a knife from the back of her trousers, and turned around as if threatening her.

"Have you seen someone was kidnapped, her limbs were not tied up and her mouth was not covered? It proves that we respect you very much. We put beautiful women in the car and invite you to participate in an important work. If we get what we need, we will naturally bring the beautiful woman back to the same place."

Elly frowned and thought the mustache man's words were a little unusual.

"Tell me, what do you want". Elly deliberately pretended to compromise, she only wanted to play her purpose and behind it.

As he saw that Elly was so comfortable, his beard took his cell phone out of his pocket and laughed abominably.

"Call your man and tell him that if he wants your safety, he will give you the money."

Their thoughts were so obvious that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief because they knew they only needed Alexis' money and would not hurt you until they got it.

With peace of mind, Elly's voice became stronger and asked calmly. "How much do you want?"
