Chapter 101 Chapter 101: I Beg You
Estelle was astonished, and her mind went blank. “Gretchen, what do you want to do to my daughter?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t do anything to her. But... I advise you to come here to have a look, or you will regret it,” Gretchen said casually and then hung up the phone.
“Gretchen? Hello?” With a pale face, Estelle felt weak all over and fell to the floor.
“Miss, are you okay? Do you need any help?” The man asked.
Since Estelle didn’t close the door, he heard her anxious voice.
Estelle shook her head, grabbed her phone, and rushed out of the ward.
However, as soon as she came out, she was stopped by a nurse.
The nurse was startled by her movement and said with her eyes wide open, “Miss Hudson, how could you run like this? The doctor said that you can only walk slowly in the ward. You can’t do any strenuous exercise now!”
“Miss, let go of me, please. I have something urgent to do,” Estelle said anxiously.
“But you...”
Estelle broke down and said in a sobbing tone, “Miss, I must go now, or my daughter will probably die. Let me go, please. I beg you.”
Hearing this, the nurse was in a dilemma. Then she said, “But if you have an accident after you leave the hospital...”
“Don’t worry. After I leave the hospital, anything that happens to me has nothing to do with the hospital!” Estelle explained shortly.
Then she turned to look at the man and begged him, “Sir, please help me stop her. I must go to save my daughter. Please!”
“Miss Hudson, don’t go! Come back!” the nurse shouted anxiously.
“Just let her go,” the man said in a low voice as he pulled the nurse’s arm to stop her. “If it weren’t for her daughter, she wouldn’t have left quickly. And if she lost her daughter, she would lose the will to live.”
Regardless of the heavy rain, Estelle rushed out of the hospital desperately and wanted to take a taxi.
However, on such a rainy day, there were few taxis and more people who needed taxis, especially at the hospital.
As time passed by, Estelle became more and more restless.
“Estelle!” When Cristofer saw her, he carried her in his arms at once and ran to the gate of the hospital building for shelter.
Frowning, he asked, “Where are you going?”
When Estelle saw him, she burst into anger and asked with gritted teeth, “Did you tell Gretchen the address of Hans’ Residence?”
Cristofer was a little stunned. “What do you mean?”
“Just now, Gretchen called me and asked me to go to Hans’ Residence immediately. She said that if I didn’t do as she said, Yvonne would die! Cristofer, you must have told her the address of the Hans’ Residence, or she wouldn’t have known it!”
“I didn’t tell her about it,” Cristofer said in a deep voice, trying to keep calm. “It’s not the right time to talk about it now. The most important thing now is to save Yvonne. Let’s go together. My car is parked nearby.”
Estelle had originally made up her mind to cut all her ties with him for the rest of her life, but in such a situation, she had no choice but to get into Cristofer's car.
On the way to Hans’ Residence, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the car was terrible.
While driving, Cristofer couldn’t help but look at Estelle from the rearview mirror.
At this moment, Estelle had got wet all over. She was still wearing the hospital gown. Perhaps it was because she was too thin or the size of the gown was too large that the gown looked too loose and big for her. It was a little cold today, but she didn’t wear a coat, and she was still wearing slippers.
Cristofer said, “Estelle, dry your hair and feet, or you will catch a cold...”
“Shut up,” Estelle interrupted him and said coldly. “I don’t want to hear your voice anymore.”
Cristofer sighed helplessly, not saying anything more. And he focused on driving.
He drove at high speed all the way, and twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at Hans’ Residence.
As soon as he stopped the car, Estelle opened the door at once and got out of the car without waiting for him.
After entering the villa, she went straight to Yvonne’s room. “Yvonne! Yvonne!”
Hearing her voice, Luke turned around and said happily, “Estelle, you’re back! Have you reconciled with Mr. Hans?”
Having no time to explain to him, Estelle frowned and asked, “Uncle Luke, where is Yvonne?”
“Shh. She’s here,” Luke said in a low voice and pointed at Yvonne. “She is good and happy today. And I played with her in the garden in the afternoon. Look, she is sleeping soundly.”
Estelle walked over, squatted beside the crib, and carefully examined Yvonne’s hands and feet.
After ensuring there was no wound on Yvonne’s body, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still felt that something was wrong.
‘Since Yvonne is fine, why did Gretchen say those words to me? Did she do that just to let me get out of the hospital and get wet in the rain so that I could die soon? No. Even if she wants me to die, she won’t do such a stupid thing.’
All of a sudden, Estelle smelled a strange scent in the air. Then she leaned over and sniffed at Yvonne’s mouth. “Uncle Luke, what did you feed Yvonne today?”
Hearing her question, Luke was puzzled and said, “I just fed her the milk that she usually eats and some water.”
“Nothing else?”
“No. Yvonne is still so young. She can’t eat other food now. I prepared the milk that she drank in person, and was at the right temperature and concentration.”
‘But the smell is so strange,’ Estelle thought.
She sniffed the air carefully, followed the scent, and saw the milk bottle on the bedside table. Then she picked it up and opened it with a frown.
The moment she smelled the scent of the spirit, her heart sank.
At this time, Cristofer rushed to the room and asked, “Estelle, is Yvonne all right?”
Estelle handed the milk bottle to him and said, “Smell it.”
Cristofer took the bottle and sniffed at it. Then his face changed immediately, and his eyes widened in shock. “This is... spirit?”
“Spirit? How could it be a spirit?” Luke asked, also very surprised. “Isn’t it the water that I prepared for Yvonne? Every afternoon before we go to the garden to play, I will prepare half a bottle of water for her in person. How could it be a spirit? It’s impossible!”
