Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe) novel Chapter 1019

"She..." Jack lowered his eyes, unsure how to broach the subject with Mandy.

Recently, Mandy had been mentioning Charlotte more frequently. Even if she didn't bring her up, Jack could tell that Mandy's admiration for Charlotte grew.

And now, with this incident...

"After I passed out, she was taken away, wasn't she?"

Even if Jack hadn't spoken, Mandy would have guessed the truth. After fainting, she wasn't entirely oblivious. She had a vague sense of what was happening, though it wasn't clear.

Jack sighed softly, "Yes."

Seeing the furrow in Mandy's brow, Jack quickly explained, "Mr. Smith has located her. But rescuing her right now... It's a bit complicated."

"I want to find her," Mandy said, looking at Jack. These days, Charlotte had become more to her than just an employer. If anything happened to Charlotte because of her mistake, she'd never forgive herself.

As she spoke, Mandy tried to sit up, but the sudden movement pulled at her wound, making her gasp in pain.

Seeing this, Jack quickly moved to support her. "Look at you, how can you help like this?"

"But..." Mandy started to argue, but when she saw the stern look on Jack's face, she stopped short.

The corners of his eyes reddened slightly, and a swirl of complex emotions welled up in his deep, his gaze as if he were trying to pull her in completely.

The panic from the phone call was still fresh in Jack's mind. The moment he heard the news, his heartbeat seemed to have halted. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Mandy...

He might never feel this deeply about anyone ever again in his life.

They would pay the price eventually.

With Jack's assurance, Mandy finally gave up on the idea of rescuing Charlotte and promised to wait for him in the hospital.

In the following days, Jack was so busy he barely had a moment for himself. Though he always managed to visit Mandy, it was often just for a few fleeting minutes, and sometimes, he just made a brief appearance before rushing off.

The exhaustion on his face grew more evident each day, and it pained Mandy to see him like that.

She knew that if it weren't for her, Jack wouldn't be so committed to saving Charlotte.

However, given the current situation, Mandy couldn't ask Jack to stop. If even they gave up, the hope of saving Charlotte would be slimmer.
