You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 240

“Adam, where are you? What is it? Are you okay?” Arabella immediately answered her phone and bombarded Adam with questions.

“Mom, I’m fine. I called because I’m worried about you. Where are you?” Adam sounded on the other line. His tone was like a worried adult.

Her heart had regained its calm.

“hmmm…” She turned around to look at the man who was lying on the bed.

Bill's eyes were closed and her eyes caught his right shoulder.

She knew the bullet pierced in his right shoulder this morning.

He probably felt pained and drowsy.

She didn’t know how it felt but deep inside her, she hoped he get well soon before she exited his room.

“Arabella? What happened?” Eric came fast running towards her.

They tried everything but the door couldn’t be opened from the outside.

Bill’s men strode quickly inside to check their boss.

“I’m okay. What happened here?” She frowned.

“What’s with the gunshot inside? Are you hurt?” Eric’s sounded worried and displeased as he was flipping Arabella’s head side to side.

She couldn’t help but chuckle at Eric’s overreaction.

“I’m okay. That was nothing.” She answered with a smile.

“And Bill Sky?” Eric still couldn’t find his calm.

“He’s…: Arabella staggered. “He is fine.” She pulled herself together and finished her sentence.

Remembering Bill Sky, she had irked.

His threat was already engraved in her deepest soul.

“Adam!” She sounded absentmindedly.

Her reaction was in a panic.

“What about Adam?” Eric asked in a questioning expression.

His voice made her regain her senses.

“Brother…” She held his hand quickly and dragged him rushing to exit the hospital.

“Help us.” She pleaded.

Eric followed her big strides.

He didn’t know what she was thinking but he was sure something had happened inside.

“Tell me, what is it?” Eric was chasing the girl’s big steps.

“We are going now to the airport. Eric, please help us get out of this country right now.” Her tone was shaking.

Bill’s eyes and his words earlier made all her toughness vanish in an instant.

She had known Bill Sky for a long time and his words were always his bond.

She could not forget how he looked at him.

He instilled great fear inside her.

“What? Tonight?” Eric clarified and was surprised by her.

“Yes, brother.” Her voice was in a panic.

She knew how hassle she brought in Eric.

“Calm down.” Eric opened the door of the passenger seat for her. “Breathe… think carefully.” Eric tapped her shoulder while his sincere eyes looked at her.

He then closed her door.

He went to the driver's seat and started the engine.

“Tell me everything now.” Eric sounded while driving.

“Bill is going to get Adam away from me.” Arabella’s tears were started to assemble in her eyes.

Just thinking about not seeing Adam, her heart was already broken.

“He wanted me to sign the divorce contract but I can't have Adam.” She continued while a drop of tear started to run down on her cheek.

“Bill Sky…” Eric uttered while his grip on the steering wheel hardened.

“I will take care of everything. Call Adam now.” Knowing Bill Sky in the business, this man is so cunning.

They had to think in advance before he could make his move.

Good thing, he was still admitted to the hospital now.

That would give them enough time to move.

“Adam, son, I need you to get ready. I am coming to get you. We are going abroad now.” Arabella was trying to sound calm.

She didn’t want Adam to be in a panic situation because of her.

“Where are we going, mommy?” Adam asked with all his curiosity.

He could not think of any reason his mom would ask him to leave in the middle of the night unless it was an emergency.

“Hmmm…” Arabella was out of words.

She didn’t know what to answer Adam.

“Ahhh… Uncle Eric… He wanted us to go with him where he lives.” That was the only alibi she could find while she looked at Eric with a guilty and pleading expression.

Eric just smirked at her.

“What about Ivan? Is he joining?” Adam asked.

“Ah… Ivan…” Arabella looked at Eric for an answer but Eric looked at her seriously then he shook his head.

That was a refusal and Arabella quickly got it. “Listen to me, Adam… Ivan can’t come with us but he could follow or visit us there. Okay?” Arabella knew Adam would be very sad so she already made an advanced statement to appease Adam.

Adam didn’t answer on the other line but she could hear his breathing.

Arabella knew her son turned sad right after he heard her words, she knew how much Adam loved his new friend Ivan.

He treated Ivan as his real brother.

“Adam, are you there?” Arabella sounded trying to break Adam’s silence.

“Yeah, mom. I’ll be packing up right now.” His voice had no glow but he felt he had to do what his mother asked him to do.

“Thank you, Adam, for being a good son.” She complimented before she ended the call.

"Mommy?" Adam muttered melancholy.

"Yes my son," She answered.

"I love you so much." Adam sounded sincere.

Arabella felt her heart was overwhelmed with happiness.

Only Adam could give her so much joy in her life.

“Is Adam, okay?” Eric asked worriedly.

Arabella looked at Eric then she smirked and shook her head.

“He was sad knowing Ivan is not coming with us,” Arabella announced with her tone also gloomy.

“I’m sorry for that. Ivan’s custody is with his grandmother. I can’t carry him with me as that’s one of his grandma’s conditions. I have to follow as she only allows me to be with Ivan when I’m here. For now, I have to get her trust as I am preparing for Ivan’s custody to be transferred to my name.” Eric implied. His expression had turned gloomy too.

“Is that possible, brother?” She asked worriedly.

Eric smirked and moved his head side to side.

Then he nodded.

“Then why just now? I mean, the boy loved you so much and you love him too. You are the powerful billionaire Eric Grant, why the court in favor of Ivan’s grandma?” Arabella couldn’t help to ask as her curiosity was eating her up.

Eric heaved a deep sigh. It seemed Arabella’s question was very hard to answer.

He looked at her. He smirked again.

“The court was not into my status,” Eric announced making Arabella frown.

Through his words, her curiosity had surged up rapidly.
