His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 492

Anthony could hear what was happening clearly across the phone, despite Autumn's repeated interjections that the driver still headed towards the outskirts even after she told him her water broke. Worried as he was, he didn't utter a word in the fear of losing the connection. Instead, he focused on following Autumn's car.

"Here we are, Mrs. Lu. This is the requested destination," Brent said with a shiver in his voice, as he turned and looked at Autumn with fear and guilt. Autumn had no idea how long she had stayed in the car. When she heard her driver's voice, she anxiously looked out the window. But all she could find was an abandoned warehouse. Brent opened the window, stuck out his head and shouted at the depot,"I brought what you wanted, Ferry."

"I always knew you were a smart guy and you would make the right decision." Ferry's content and happy voice reached the car. Two tall men in black appeared, dragged Autumn out of the car and mercilessly took her to depository.

Brent thought of stopping them but gave up on the idea. 'I brought her here. What's the point of being a good guy now? I have already failed her.' He shook his head in contempt.

Out of concern, he walked fast to catch up and asked the men in black,"What are you going to do to her?"

"That's none of your business," one of the men replied in a cold tone. The man handed a black gym bag to Brent and said,"This is your reward. Take the money and leave from here now. We don't need you hovering around here at all."

The men dragged Autumn who looked like all the blood had flushed out of her face. She lifted her eyebrow at the sight of Ferry sitting before her. With her fear and surprise, she managed to mumble,"It's you..."

"Yeah," Ferry sneered as he gazed at Autumn with satisfaction. "You must be shocked. I mean so many years have passed, but I didn't forget you for a moment."

"What do you want from me?" Autumn shrieked with fear and growing pain. Autumn felt that her babies were coming as the contraction got more frequent. Fighting the overpowering weakness, she pulled herself up and negotiated,"I don't know why you brought me here. But as long as you let me go, I'll ensure you that you will be given a big sum of money."

"Money?" Ferry laughed maliciously. "Everything I did was in pursuit to see you suffer. I don't need your money."

Before he could utter another word, Leila dashed towards them instinctively. With a worried glance at Autumn, she berated Ferry impatiently,"What are you doing? Didn't you see that her water broke? Just let her give birth of her child and then we can leave her."

"Leila?" Autumn mumbled, as she stared at Leila with wide eyes. In that moment, she understood that Ferry and Leila were partners.

"Are you really surprised?" Leila asked with her lips pursed. "After you give birth, I will treat this child as my own and bring him up. I will take him to Charles and live with him happily. He is after all Charles' blood. Even if Charles doubts my words, he will never find out you're the child's mother. You will finally be doing some good for me, Autumn.

What do you think? Isn't this the perfect idea to get away with a crime?" With a smug expression, Leila burst into laughter. Her eyes gleaming with satisfaction, she went on,"The first time I saw Charles, I knew I was destined to be with this man. So you were the wrong choice from the start. Now it's time to get things back on track."

With no intention of letting Autumn leave the compound alive, Ferry got a midwife instead of a physician. Leila, Ferry and his men left the depository, leaving the woman alone to assist and take care of Autumn.

Focusing her gaze on the harmless midwife who was in her fifties, Autumn seized her hand tightly and begged,"Please help me. Please. I will give you lots of money in return. Please for the love of god!"

"I..." the old woman stammered, looking troubled. "I wish I could save you, my child. But it is not in my hand. He took my grandson. I'm vulnerable. I don't have other choice. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

Dwelling in a countryside, she only had a baby grandson. As the village she lived was away from the town, she had delivered all the children in her country. That was why she got into trouble.

The old woman heaved a sigh, feeling sorry for Autumn. Fortunately, Autumn had a fast labor.
