Abbigail ignored her advice and laughed it off.
But as Zaria left, Blaze suddenly noticed that Abbigail's eyes had changed, and it seemed that they were not as pure as before.
She stared at the boat carrying Zaria, without a trace of a smile on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking with her cold eyes.
"Abbigail?"
Blaze shouted, "Let's go back. I'm almost done with that string of shell bracelet, and the island chief will hold a wedding ceremony for us."
Abbigail came back to her senses, and quickly smiled, which was no different from her usual demeanor.
"Okay, I will follow your arrangement."
The two held hands and went home with the sun rising from the east.
Zaria was led back to the coast of Crana by the island chief himself. She had already communicated with Sheldon beforehand, and many members of the organization came to pick her up in person.
After the island chief sent her ashore, he wanted to leave after a few polite words.
There was a crisp sound, followed by the sound of a bullet being loaded.
The island chief trembled with fright, and when he turned around, he saw dozens of muzzles of pistols pointed at him coldly.
Zaria smiled very friendly, "Don't be afraid. They are used to pulling out their guns. You worked so hard to send me ashore, so I would like to treat you to a meal. Mr. Alford also wants to see you. You can stay here for two days before leaving."
She said it was a warm invitation, but his head was pointed by the guns. Clearly it was a threat.
The island chief had no room to speak, so he was carried away by several tall men holding his arms.
Seeing that his legs were weak and trembling violently, Zaria smiled, "Don't be scared. Mr. Alford just wants to ask you a few questions. He will invite you to live in a big villa and have a sumptuous meal."
...
On the island, Blaze was pacing back and forth in a state of anxiety.
Abbigail was sitting calmly by the bed, helping him mend a hole in a pair of trousers.
"The island chief sent that Zaria away. It has been three days and he hasn't come back. Something must have happened to him."
Blaze murmured anxiously, restless.
"No, I have to go to sea to find him."
"Stop."
Abbigail called him, "You have never been out of this island in your life. Do you know where the coast of Crana's border is?"
He did not know.
"Then... then I can't just wait like this. If something happens, it's because of me, and I'm responsible."
Abbigail said nothing, and continued to mend the fabric.
Every stitch was slow and elegant.
Blaze looked at her movements and demeanor, and the more he watched, the more he felt that she seemed to have changed.
She was no longer the simple girl half a year ago.
He walked up to Abbigail and knelt down reverently, "You don't like to hold my hand these two days. Do you remember something? You don't want to marry me?"
Abbigail's delicate eyes curved and she smiled, "How come? You saved me and you take care of me. You are my savior. Of course I am willing to be your wife."
She had a nice smile, but Blaze was absent-minded.
Was it his illusion?
Why did he feel that Abbigail's words were not as sincere as before?
...
Delta Union.
It was getting closer and closer to Mavis' due date.
Anthony went from visiting three times a week to four times a week.
On the way to the hospital, Anthony received a call from Kane.
"Mr. Callahan, the people we sent to the coast have reported that Miss Buckner has been found out, and Sheldon Alford is ready to catch her."
Anthony was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the time on his watch, "A dead body, or a living Jaqueline?"
"It's a living Jaqueline. Miss Buckner should not be dead, but they can't be very sure if she's the real Miss Buckner. I'm afraid they have to go and see to find out."
Anthony looked at his watch again, "How long is it until Mrs. Callahan's due date?"
Kane didn't speak for a while, and checked the record of the obstetric inspection form issued by the hospital, "There are about ten days left."
It was the first time for Anthony to encounter such a situation where a pregnant woman was about to give birth. He didn't prepared in advance, so he didn't know much about the delivery situation.
He roughly calculated the round-trip distance.
"It's still early. There should be time to arrange the earliest flight and leave today."
"Clear."
After hanging up the phone, the driver in the front row asked Anthony a bit confused, "Mr. Callahan, we'll be at the hospital parking lot in two minutes. Would you like to go and see Mrs. Callahan first?"
Anthony raised his eyes, looked at the hospital building outside the car window, and said nothing.
Jaqueline blocked the gunshot for him and fell into the sea, but she was still alive.
There were some things that he had to ask her clearly...
The phone rang again. It was from Kane: [Mr. Callahan, the flight is ready.]
He squeezed the phone tightly and made a decision, "Mrs. Callahan is under the care of Ella. Everything will be fine. Turn around and go to the airport."
"Yes."
In the ward.
Ella was still looking at the time on the clock with a bad expression on her face.
Mavis was leaning on the bedside to read a book, noticed her expression, and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you? Who upset you?"
"The only one who can upset me is Anthony."
The smile on Mavis's face gradually disappeared, "What happened to you?"
"According to the rule of his previous visits, he will come to the hospital to visit you today. But now it's this time, and he hasn't arrived yet."
Mavis lowered her eyes, showing no special expression. "It doesn't matter whether he comes or not, and I don't want to see him when he comes."
Ella sighed, "You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In the past two months, he has come more and more frequently. Every time, he inquires after your health and speaks softly. You can see that his eyes are not as cold as before."
Mavis didn't explain, just looked down at the book.
"You still love him, right? Have you really decided to leave? If he behaves particularly well when you give birth? Or do you not intend to forgive him?"
Mavis still didn't speak.
Ella sighed. "Forget it. I don't want to participate too much business between you two. Only you know whether you are happy or not."
Ella leaned over again and reported to her in a low voice, "Ms. Lloyd has already sent me a message to tell me that she has sent someone to bring a team of lawyers to deal with it. After all, your father's domestic violence for many years is a fact. As long as your mother is willing, they must divorce."
"She will let your mother live another place. As for the matter of you leaving with the baby, you have to give her some more time. After all, Anthony keeps an eye on you. If you disappear for no reason, it is impossible for Anthony not to notice. She has to plan it carefully."
Mavis's emotions finally had ups and downs, and she was happy.
"Thank you very much, thank Lyra. You are busy with my stuff. If you need my help in the future, I'm willing to risk my life for you."
Ella clicked her tongue lightly, dissatisfied. "Among friends, help is the right thing to do. If anyone asks you to pay for your life, keep your life well and don't make any promises."
Although she was dissatisfied, Mavis was very moved when she heard it, and felt more and more that her husband was useless but her friends were the best.
Anthony didn't show up all day.
Mavis said she didn't care, but she still felt empty in her heart.
...
The next morning.
When Blaze and Abbigail woke up, they were woken up by the islanders outside.
"The island chief is back! He is back!"
