"No, I won't die. Mr. Zac will find us soon. He is the most powerful person in the world. He will definitely save us." Leaning against the cold wall, Essie comforted her in a low voice. Her voice was very weak, and a strong labor pain was gradually taking away her strength.
In fact, she was so scared. She was afraid that something would happen to the baby in her belly, that she couldn't hold on to Zac to save her, and that she would be trapped here with Shyla.
It was all her fault. She was too impulsive and reckless. She should have informed the security guard that she shouldn't have come down alone.
She must be out of her mind again, so she did such a stupid thing. She not only failed to save Shyla, but also hurt the baby in her belly.
'Baby, hold on. Daddy will come to save us. You must hold on. Don't leave Mommy... It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well... I'm sorry!'
Tears welled up in her eyes. She was so sad that she wanted to cry. But she couldn't cry. She raised her head again to hold back her tears.
Her stomach was so painful that she wanted to scream, but she gritted her teeth and didn't even make a sound.
Shyla was beside her. She couldn't frighten her, making her panic and lose the will to live.
She stretched out her hand and fumbled on the ground. She touched a stone and said, "Shyla, listen to me. You go upstairs with this stone and knock the bricks on it hard. Keep knocking. Someone will come to save us if they hear the sound."
Shyla nodded obediently, took the stone, went upstairs and knocked hard.
"Mrs. Essie, you won't die, will you?" She looked at her trembling as she knocked on the door. Seeing more and more blood on her trousers, she was more and more scared.
"No, I won't die." Shaking her head, Essie forced a smile.
"What about your baby? Will he die?" She sniffed.
"No, he won't. He just wants to come out early to see his parents, brother and sister." Essie touched her aching belly weakly.
"Mili said she wants a little sister. Will you give birth to a little sister for her?" Shyla blinked her big eyes.
"Yes, I will." Essie nodded.
She felt that the child was slowly falling down, and a warm stream spread out under her body.
It was the amniotic fluid. It broke.
The baby was about to give birth.
He was only seven months old. It was all her fault. She didn't protect him well. She was not a good mother!
"Shyla, the baby is about to be born. Don't be afraid if I cry out of pain later. Keep knocking on the bricks and don't stop, okay?"
"Okay, Mrs. Essie. You must give birth to the baby safely." Shyla nodded heavily. Although she was still young, she had already known the meaning of a new life. "If Mili knows that her little sister is going to be born, she must be very happy. I also have a little sister. My father gave birth to her with another aunt. My father likes her very much and bought her new clothes and toys. But her mother said that it didn't matter. Shyla had her mother's love and she would buy new clothes and toys for Shyla. So I won't compete with her. I will love her as much as my father does. "
"Good girl, Shyla. You are a good girl." Essie tried to smile at her. Unconsciously, she also thought of her half sister.
She remembered that there was a saying in a drama, "Brothers of the same mother had a natural connection, and of the same father had a connection of interests. They will hurt each other for interests, so the relationship between brothers of two different mothers is the most unreliable."
These words applied to both the royal family in ancient times and the rich families nowadays.
The first time she met Valery, they had been at loggerheads. After that, there would be endless battles, from fighting for her mother to herself, from fighting for her father to fighting for her husband.
It seemed that their contradictions would never be reconciled. In their lives, they would never be reconciled.
In a rich family, there were too many benefits. Not only the brothers and sisters of different mothers, but also the brothers and sisters of the same mother could hurt each other. For example, Zac and Walt, it was said that the relationship between twins was closer than that between ordinary siblings, because they had been together since the embryo. However, she didn't know if she was too sensitive. She always felt that the two brothers were not too close, as if there was an invisible gap between them.
"Shyla, when we go out, I will take you as my sworn daughter, okay?"
"Okay, Mrs. Essie. Mili had a sworn mother. I want a sworn mother too," Shyla said happily.
Outside the secret passage, the security guard in charge of the monitoring system had found something unusual. He immediately informed the director of the security department, and the director immediately called Zac.
Zac came back at a fast speed.
"At nine five, Mrs. Essie entered Shyla's room. At half past nine, a maid sneaked out. We were worried about Mrs. Essie, so we sent people to investigate. But there was no one in the room. Mrs. Essie was missing. We have asked the steward to identify this maid. Her name is Peri and she is in charge of cleaning the bamboo forest. Now the security guards are looking around for Mrs. Essie and Peri," Director Liu reported.
