I Saved A Mystery Billionaireac (Eudora) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Kidnapped

"Eudora, stay here at the mansion with me for a couple of days, will you?" Belinda said.

Eudora was well aware that she had offended Colbert, and she didn't want to grovel to the Baldwins for the sake of her foster parents. So now she could only rely on Madam Steele.

After all, Belinda didn't seem to have any hostility towards her.

Even so, she was confused by the invitation.

"My pleasure, but why?" Eudora asked.

"Colbert slept with you, so it should be his responsibility to take care of you. Besides, if you stay here for a few more days, I can get to know you better," Belinda replied. Remembering Eudora's concern, she added, "I have invited the best experts from overseas to treat your parents. They will recover soon."

Eudora was grateful but felt that she couldn't repay Belinda.

She could only remind herself that she had saved Colbert, so Belinda saving her foster parents wouldn’t put her in too much debt.

"Thank you, Madam Steele," Eudora sincerely expressed her gratitude.

For the next three days, Eudora accompanied Madam Steele in morning yoga sessions and gardening, and they also made pastries and played chess together in the afternoons.

On the morning of the fourth day, after having breakfast with the old lady, Eudora packed her things and carried them downstairs.

She nodded to Belinda, who was sitting on the sofa, "Madam Steele, I'm leaving. Thank you for your hospitality."

Belinda stood up, walked to Eudora, and smiled kindly, "You are such a lovely young lady. Spending time with you makes me feel much younger, too."

Belinda was always like a nice grandma to Eudora as she was never harsh to the girl.

"That’s because you are young at heart, Madam Steele. Good-bye."

"Okay. Come and visit me now and then, will you?"

"Um…yeah, sure." Eudora responded awkwardly.

After all, whether she could come to the mansion again was not up to her to decide.

Belinda had arranged for a driver to take Eudora back to downtown.

When Eudora saw a pharmacy, she asked the driver to stop the car.

She got off and said to the driver, "Thank you, sir. Please also bring my gratitude to Madam Steele."

"Of course, Miss Stanford."

The driver nodded at her and drove away.

Eudora hurriedly entered the pharmacy.

"Hello. How can I help you today?" The staff greeted her.

"I need the most effective emergency contraceptive pill," Eudora said anxiously.

She hadn't got a chance to leave the Steele's mansion in the past few days, so she couldn't buy the pills. Now that she was out, she wanted to take the pill as soon as possible. If she really got pregnant, it'd be a disaster!

The pharmacist handed her a box of pills, "This one has the best effectiveness within 72 hours."

Eudora took the pills and was going to pay when she suddenly paused. "What did you say, within 72 hours?!"

"Yes, the sooner, the better. After three days, the pill will no longer be effective."

"Only three days?"

"Yes."

Eudora's mind went blank for a moment.

Then she looked down at the instructions on the box. Indeed, it said the pills would only be effective within the first 72 hours.

She had never got a chance to use this type of pills before and never knew that there'd be a time-limit!

Nothing to fear! Deep breaths.

So, Colbert ordered Corey to kidnap her?!

Think WHAT through? Would it be better for her to just sit still and wait for her doom?!
