Ivan laughed on the other side of the line.
"Why are we being so polite to each other? I just did you a small favor, Alfred was gone for a year, this really is something strange, I could only find out where those two went, but where Alfred took your sister this year, and what they were doing? I don't know what the current situation of your sister is, I can take you to see her in person, I hope that Alfred will give us the chance, since she is your sister, or is he planning to be entangled with her for the rest of his life?"
After hearing what Ivan said, Elsie cursed him.
"Alfred is pure madness, after he took my sister, he didn't even tell me anything, I was so afraid that he tortured my sister this whole year. Since when are there people like him in this world, they are already divorced, and yet he took my sister away, I am so mad!"
Elsie didn't stop scolding, the two of them ended up meeting at G City to see Alfred, then they would go to see Vanessa's situation.
After hanging up, Annie started asking curiously.
"Elsie, I have heard what you talked about, are there any news about Vanessa? Where is she? I want to see Vanessa..."
Elsie smiled and picked Annie up.
"Ivan just called, he said that he knows where Vanessa is, she is in G City right now, we will go to see her, and then we will go back to your Mommy, okay?"
Annie hesitated, but she agreed in the end.
Mommy wasn't waking up, she was lying in the hospital everyday, now they had found where Vanessa was, of course Annie wanted to go and see her.
The next day early in the morning the two of them took a plane with Ivan heading to G City.
The moment they got off the place, Elsie and Ivan were still discussing about how to contact Alfred and how to convince Alfred to take them see Vanessa...
But, the moment that Elsie and Ivan took Annie out of the airport, they saw that Alfred was standing outside. Did he know that they were coming?
Elsie was wondering, after she and the other went out, she rushed to Alfred and smacked his face.
Alfred didn't even hide, on the contrary, the guards behind him looked quite angry, Alfred only gestured for them to leave, and Elsie smacked him one more time.
"You have the audacity to see me at the airport, you have taken my sister for a whole year, tell me where she is, what the hell happened?"
"I will tell you the story, the situation is a little complicated, since you and Ivan are already here, and Annie is here too, get in the car, I will take you to see her, the time on the way there is enough for me to tell you everything."
Her sister was in the hands of this man, even if she killed him, it wouldn't help her seeing Vanessa again.
She had to swallow the anger in her heart, so Elsie humphed coldly.
"I am telling you, if I see that my sister is having a hard time here, I am not going to let you get away with that!"
Ivan greeted Alfred.
"Mr. Chow, it has really been a long time, this time you really hid your trace well, I almost didn't find you, the only reason you were found is because you wanted me to, clearly you wanted us to come here, right?"
Alfred smiled lightly, he bent down to look at Annie.
"Annie, how have you been this year?"
Annie looked at this man with a cold face, he remembered that her mom told her that this was a bad man.
Annie didn't say anything, she even turned her face so she wouldn't have to see this man, Alfred laughed bitterly.
"Let's get going."
After they got into his car, Alfred smiled to Annie.
"Annie, I have downloaded some really nice songs, do you want to use some earphones to listen?"
It was clear that he didn't want Annie to listen to their conversation, Elsie noticed how serious the situation was, she knew that children shouldn't listen to adults' conversation, Elsie wanted to talk to Annie, but Annie had already put on the earphones herself.
"I know you want to talk about something, when adults are talking, we children shouldn't listen, it has always been like that, don't worry, I won't interrupt you!"
Annie was really a smart child, Ivan laughed bitterly, he found that these adults were quite awkward.
But, they really couldn't let children know too many things, if the children's soul got hurt, it could leave them with fearfulness, this was something nobody ever wanted to see.
"Alfred, tell us, what is going on with my sister now? Look at you now, my sister must be suffering, what happened to you?"
"What happened at the wedding, I am sure you still remember, Vanessa went to talk to Jason and Jasper, then, Robert and Emma appeared, Vanessa wanted to go over there, but I stopped her, because I knew that something was wrong with Robert, I noticed there was danger, I didn't want Vanessa to get involved, I was afraid she might get in danger, so I knocked her unconscious..."
"I had no idea what happened to Robert, so I had to keep Vanessa by my side, only this way I could make sure to protect her... the only thing I thought about was to take her to a hospital to do an DNA test, at that time I hadn't checked what Rachel told me yet, so I wanted to take Vanessa to a hospital, and then I would bring her back, but then, you all know what happened in the church, Robert and Georgia all got hurt, at that time me and Vanessa already left, so I learned about that hours later, at that time we were already in the hospital, she had her blood taken, and I had Vanessa rest in her ward. Afterwards, before the DNA report came out, the doctors told me that she was pregnant..."
When Alfred said that, Elsie looked shocked.
"What bullshit are you talking about? You say my sister was pregnant? How could that be?"
She and her sister had been so close, Elsie had seen nothing that indicated her sister was pregnant.
"I was also very shocked, I immediately thought of what Rachel did, I did a DNA test on Vanessa's baby as well, I didn't dare to ask Rachel, I was afraid that I might get some scary news from her."
Elsie's face turned pale, she thought of the shame that she had to endure after she was captured by Rachel, that pain was still hurting her when she thought about it now.
"What do you mean by that? So sister's baby is..."
Elsie didn't dare to keep talking, was the person who bullied her sister?
When she thought about that, she trembled.
Alfred laughed bitterly.
"I know what you are thinking about, that is also what I thought, when I captured Rachel, I didn't even dare to ask her about the truth... before the DNA test results came back, Vanessa woke up, naturally she was very angry at me, she wanted to leave, but Robert and Georgia hadn't been back yet, and it was too dangerous outside, me and Vanessa had a fight, of course it was her being angry at me, but I still had to lock her at my place, I was afraid that she might get into danger if she left, she started to freeze me out, she didn't talk to me, but at least she was eating, she didn't hurt herself, and the two of us were just passing time like this, until the DNA result came out..."
When Alfred got to that part, his expression suddenly got very dignified, Elsie was suddenly scared, she was scared of what Alfred would tell her now.
"When the DNA result came out, it was confirmed that Rachel was pregnant and it was the baby of Vanessa and me, she didn't lie... but that day, I wasn't happy, because the DNA test of Vanessa's baby also came out, the baby was hers, but I wasn't the father..."
When Alfred said that, Elsie already buried her nails in her hand, her voice was very cold, her eyes were filled with hate.
"Why are you being so nice to me now, you have told me so much, will you tell me finally what happened afterwards? Did you do something to my sister? Did you hurt her?"
Alfred suddenly didn't dare to keep talking, Ivan on the other side almost didn't dare to interrupt.
He knew in parts of what happened to Vanessa, now that he saw the two of them confronting each other, even he could guess that whatever happened next was unrepairable.
"I told Vanessa that she was pregnant, I told her that we didn't know who the father was, I thought that Vanessa didn't want to have the baby, that it was a shame for her, but in that moment, she smiled at me, she said she wanted to keep that baby, that this was her baby and she wanted to have it."
Elsie suddenly started questioning him.
"This is by sister's baby, if she wanted to keep it, she should, Alfred, what are you talking about? Do you have the right to not allow my sister to have her baby?"
"Elsie, this is a shame to your sister, how would she want to keep that baby? I know that she was just fighting with me, she wanted to make me angry on purpose, I tried to convince her not to keep it, if she really kept it, than she would always think of what happened to her, she would never be able to start over again. But your sister seemed as if she was angry with me, she was fighting me all the time, she was determined to keep that baby, everyday she thought of a new way to get away, I tried to lock her up, but not long after I learned that Georgia was saved, even though Robert was gone, but at least nothing happened to those two, so I told this news to your sister."
When she heard Alfred say that, Elsie's eyes only had hate left in them.
"You have told so many excuses now, but these are only your thoughts, what did you do next? What the hell happened to my sister?"
