Chapter 236 Eleanor In Danger

Chapter 236 Eleanor In Danger

Gavin brought a very sumptuous meal. Mia sat with everyone at the small coffee table outside to eat, and after eating, at Lily's urging, she went back to bed to lie down.

Mia was leaning on the hospital bed with a soft goose-down quilt cushioning her back. She reached out to touch her stomach, which had bulged up from eating too much, and thought with some distress, if this continued, how much weight would she gain?

Dylan specifically arranged for this evening's meal to all be sour and spicy food. She ate slowly and after suppressing the burst of nausea inside, she dry-heaved a few times before she was fine, and then she ate more than anyone else.

It's only a month, what to do...

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Dylan came out after washing his hands and asked Mia.

Mia shook her head and said, "No, I seem to have gained weight."

After saying that, she rubbed her belly sadly.

After hearing what Mia said, Danny took off his shoes and crept beside Mia with caution. Then he pressed his face to her belly to listen for a while and touched Mia's stomach that had bulged a little and said in amazement, "Wow, the little baby is growing so fast. It's only been a day, but it's already bulging. Mommy's stomach is usually flat."

As soon as the words were said, Mia was on the verge of tears and said, "I'm going to be fat."

Even Danny noticed.

Lily quickly on the side, "Now, you have to eat more to nourish two people, so naturally you have to eat more to have a healthy physical condition to give birth later. What's more, you have a small frame, and you threw up two days ago, right? The face is all pointy, so it won't show."

Mia looked at Dylan and asked, "Really? Will you dislike me if I get fat?"

Dylan said, "Don't be afraid to be rich and fat, wifey. I don't mind."

"Mwah..."

Dylan also joked and Mia was on the verge of tears, but the entire family laughed.

Even Dylan and Danny laughed.

As they were laughing, Lily's cell phone dinged with a message.

When Lily saw that the number was unfamiliar and had pictures and text, she didn't open it because Lily thought it was some kind of spam.

Her finger clicked away and was about to delete it, but when her eyes saw the familiar person in the photo, Lily was suddenly shocked and her expression changed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Mia noticed and asked Lily.

Lily didn't say anything, but opened the message with trembling hands, and after taking a look at it, her expression became even more unpleasant.

"Mia, look at... Eleanor is in danger." Lily's voice was accompanied by sobs, and her voice was trembling.

Derrick's phone also rang and received the same message.

Mia took the phone from Lily's hand, and Dylan took the phone from Derrick's hand.

Both people's phones received the same message with the same content and photos.

"Your daughter is in our hands. Don't call the police!"

The short sentence was accompanied by a picture of Eleanor looking wretched, and her face was bruised. Her mouth was gagged and her eyes were blindfolded while her hands and feet were tightly bound, and she looked very miserable. Lily's tears fell down as she asked, "What should we do? What happened to Eleanor?"

Upon hearing this, Dylan said, "Don't be anxious. I'll have someone investigate."

Lily and Derrick nodded their heads. Although they were sad and anxious, they tried their best to hold back.

Dylan immediately called Gavin in and instructed in front of the others, "Go and find out where Eleanor went after leaving this place. I want detailed information, the more detailed the better, and then find her immediately."

With that said, he also gave Derrick's cell phone to Gavin and said, "And then have Melvin immediately investigate all the detailed information about this number."

"Yes."

Gavin also didn't ask more questions and, looking at everyone's expression, he roughly understood what was going on. Although he loathed Eleanor, he naturally didn't dare to question what his boss had ordered him to do.

Mia and Gavin had the same mindset. Although she didn't like Eleanor very much, and was even screwed over by her many times, she was still such a young woman after all, and now that something like this has happened... Mia was worried.

What should they do?

She looked at Lily and saw that Lily's expression was ashen. Her lips were trembling, and she was obviously very worried.

Eleanor was their biological daughter after all, and even she was anxious at this time.

"Dylan, nothing will happen to Eleanor, right?" Mia asked.

Upon hearing this, Dylan shook his head and said, "I will let Gavin and the others find Eleanor."

Eleanor was merely the daughter of the Jones family, so what could happen?

Who would harm her?

These were what Dylan was considering.

"Mr. Greco, then we will need to entrust you with everything. We don't know what to do." Derrick was distraught, and it was the first time in one and a half decades that Mia had seen Derrick in such a state.

When Mia saw Lily's anxious and upset appearance, she knew that it wasn't good for her to keep thinking about it, so she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom, I can give you the numbers of my classmates in my contact list, so you can call them to see if Eleanor has contacted them, and maybe we can find some clues."

Eleanor's group of friends weren't on good terms with Mia, but she had a class directory.

As expected, Lily instantly seemed encouraged and nodded her head.

Mia quickly pulled out the contact list in her phone and gave it to Lily, and Derrick also assisted with the calls.

Mia frowned and pondered about it, while Danny reassured, "Mommy, don't worry, or the little baby will be unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Mia nodded and touched Danny's head as she looked at Dylan and said, "Who could have kidnapped her? She didn't make enemies with anyone, either..."

Eleanor was obnoxious, but in school, she was very smarmy. If there was someone who she didn't get along with, it would... only be Mia.

Dylan nodded his head and said, "I also am suspicious, but don't worry. Soon, we will be able to find out."

A few moments later, Melvin called and said, "Boss, the person who registered the number that sent the message is Eleanor herself."

"It's her?" Dylan frowned for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Melvin said, "Yes, probably another number that her family doesn't know, but it is indeed her number, and... it had been registered for a long time, so it probably wasn't temporarily registered by the kidnappers."

"Okay, got it. Find out the location." Dylan said.

"Yes."

The time needed to check the location was slightly longer.

Derrick quickly asked, "How is it?"

After Dylan told the truth, Derrick and Lily's expressions became even more unpleasant, and they said, "Could it be an acquaintance's crime? They knew Eleanor's other number and intentionally used that number to send messages so that they wouldn't expose their own information and identity. If it wasn't an acquaintance, how could they know she had two numbers? Eleanor normally uses only one cell phone, so she probably switches it occasionally."
