The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 412

Nancy was ashamed of her role in assisting in this heinous crime, as she held on to the receiver in terror.

"You can relax and take a breath. I am not calling you to keep drugging Autumn." The mystery man over the phone said rather coldly, as he decided to switch to a wiser and safer course to take revenge from Autumn and sustain Nancy's role.

"Please spare me! Under no circumstance would I continue to harm a pregnant woman. Please... just send back my son as I have obliged to your previous requests." Nancy pleaded with overburdening guilt as she entertained a tiny glimmer of hope to run away from the mess.

"You don't need to worry about that, as you are allowed to discontinue from your current task."? The man continued to add in a detached tone. 'I will wait patiently and then give Autumn and Charles a stunning blow for my vengeance and satisfaction, ' he thought to himself.

"For the time being, all you really need to do is to take good care of Autumn. I will contact you if necessary." The man hung up the call after saying that. Nancy was eager to learn more, only to be left out of his devious plan.

Nancy felt rather powerless to deal with that.

"Nancy." Chris came to the kitchen, found Nancy burdened with tears, and asked anxiously, "Why such tears? Is everything okay?"

"I am fine." Nancy managed to reply with sense and reason, "I feel sympathetic about Autumn's trouble, as she should have been happy to be pregnant. Unexpectedly..."

Chris, with burning hatred, denounced the culprit, "I will teach the ringleader a good lesson!"

Chris sighed and continued, "Nancy, you can rest assured. Charles will find out the criminal involved very soon after conducting a meticulous investigation."

"Charles..." Nancy was struck with severe shock as she stammered, "An investigation will follow?"

'Such a big mess warrants a thorough investigation!" Nancy thought to herself as she was now worried and sick.

"Definitely, it is under way." Chris nodded gently. "I just came here to ask you to prepare more nutritious dishes for Autumn as she is pregnant."

"Of course, it is my duty."? Nancy nodded and offered, "I will buy a silky fowl to prepare a tonic for Autumn. It should speed her recovery."

"Thanks for your devotion! Nancy, I appreciate your concern." Chris added, "You will be well rewarded when Autumn gives birth to her lovely and healthy child."

"Chris, it is what I ought to do... it is my duty to take care of Autumn." Nancy was overcome with suppressing guilt, as she stood in Lu family's debts.

"Now I must go check if Autumn is feeling any better." Autumn was lying on the cozy couch, calm and collected, as she was fully aware of the advantage of being pregnant. She remained calm and tried to be happy even for the baby.

Thus, Autumn was within herself more often than not.

"My dear granddaughter, you are too strong for keeping this baby, even after considering your physical condition and the risks."? Amy expressed her concerns and anxieties.

Arthur drew Amy back and countered, "Since Autumn has carefully decided to keep this baby after knowing all the factors, we should extend our fullest support and care in this delicate time. Moreover, I am a doctor who will always be around to help her throughout the pregnancy."

Arthur sat behind Autumn and expressed his concern, "How are you feeling now? Be sure to seek my help if necessary."
