Chapter 584
Chapter 584
Just a door away.
Hearing Tamsin's absurd plans, Isadora almost burst out laughing.
Indeed, like mother, like daughter.
The mother and daughter were plotting to seduce Sebastian, slowly win his heart, and use a baby to secure his wealth.
They didn't even consider how many people were watching this child, both openly and secretly. Nor did they think about how to keep him safe.
Seeing that they weren't discussing anything crucial, Isadora turned and entered the OB-GYN department.
After a thorough examination, her baby was found to be developing healthily.
Although the baby was still just an embryo, Isadora was moved to tears. "Doctor, are you sure? Is the baby really healthy?"
"Absolutely. You should trust our professional judgment. If you want to rule out any genetic diseases, you can opt for further tests."
As long as the baby was healthy, Isadora felt that was enough.
She returned to her car and cried silently.
She had felt so lonely all these years. Ever since Cleo left this world, no one had truly cared for her.
This baby was unexpected, but it brought her immense joy.
This was her own flesh and blood. No matter what happened in the future, she would have someone to support her.
"Mom, if you knew I was having a baby, would you be happy? I will make those wretches pay for what they did to you."
At the club.
Christina begged Robert to buy her a phone and replace her SIM card.
As soon as the phone was activated, she saw messages from Athena.
All the messages were full of reproach.
"I didn't hide Tamsin's baby's situation from you. I even asked you, and you said you didn't mind. So why did you act now?"
"As I've said before, we are family. I hope we can talk things out calmly. I have high hopes for this child."
"Please reply as soon as you see this. Let's talk it out."
Besides Athena's messages, there were also some from Tamsin.
But these weren't just messages; they were photos.
In the photos, Tamsin and Sebastian were very close, looking like they were about to kiss.
Robert glanced at them. "These are probably candid shots, not to be trusted. Maybe someone took them from a certain angle."
Christina spoke coldly, "You said they were candid shots. That means they were together."
Sebastian was such a hypocrite.
He claimed he didn't care about Tamsin's baby and wanted to get rid of it. He said one word, and the baby would be gone. But in reality?
When things actually happened, he blamed her without discerning right from wrong.
And clearly, the baby wasn't even born yet, and he was already showing favoritism. If the baby were born, any disagreements would definitely see Sebastian and Athena siding with that child, leaving Estelle wronged.
Thinking about this, Christina's resolve hardened. "This has nothing to do with me, and I don't care. I only care about Estelle now."
Suddenly, Robert's phone rang.
As soon as he answered, an excited voice came through.
"We've found traces of Estelle. She's in the outskirts, but it's hard to find her up the mountain."
"Send the exact location. I'll head there immediately."
Christina couldn't wait for the person to finish speaking.
Robert shook his head. "No, we need to wait until dark to go. It's too risky during the day. They tracked her using special methods. If we show up and get discovered, what then?"
"Maybe they just want to send Estelle abroad or to a remote place. But if we show up, the situation changes. If they get desperate, they might harm Estelle."
Her head spinning, Christina found Robert's reasoning sound and didn't insist. "Alright, let them keep searching. We'll go at night."
"Okay."
The waiting felt endless.
What seemed like a few hours felt like years, with every minute dragging on.
Christina stared at her phone, like a puppet, unmoving. Robert, unable to stand it, brought some food over.
"Eat something to keep your strength up. You won't have the energy to climb the mountain otherwise. I can't carry you, and Estelle will need you when we find him."
Seeing the table full of food, Christina had no appetite, but for Estelle's sake, she forced herself to eat a bit.
Soon, the sun set.
Christina and Robert disguised themselves and drove a low-key car to the outskirts.
Not far away.
In a limited-edition Rolls-Royce, Sebastian sat in the back, eyes fixed on their departing car, his expression grim, fists clenched.
The temperature in the car plummeted.
The assistant felt the air thinning, making it hard to breathe. "Should we follow them?"
Oh my god, what's happening? This is a disaster. Is Christina eloping with someone? They seem to be leaving the city.
Having uncovered such a huge secret of Sebastian's, would he silence him?
He imagined countless scenarios.
The temperature in the car dropped further.
Terrified, he shrank back, trying to make himself invisible.
"Follow them."
Sebastian's icy voice broke the silence.
The assistant, startled, floored the accelerator.
The car surged forward, surprising the assistant, who quickly hit the brakes to adjust the speed. He glanced at Sebastian in the rearview mirror, who remained impassive.
As if he felt nothing.
The assistant lamented internally.
Poor Sebastian, betrayed and now having to catch them in the act. What should he do? Should he arrange for more bodyguards?
As a competent assistant, he thought he was being thorough and secretly sent a message.
Athena, who had just arrived at the hospital, saw the message and her pupils contracted.
Sebastian was going to catch them in the act.
No wonder Christina's phone was unreachable all day; she had run off with someone.
What was Christina thinking? Did she really want to leave with Robert?
Athena quickly made a decision, sending people to follow Sebastian and dispatching a large number of bodyguards.
Thus.
Under the dark night sky, numerous cars headed out of the city.
Christina knew none of this. She stared ahead, hoping Estelle would suddenly appear.
Suddenly, lightning split the sky, illuminating Christina's pale face.
Robert sighed, patting her hand reassuringly. "It's okay. They probably don't want to hurt Estelle. If they wanted to kill him, they would've done it at the hospital."
