Chapter 238 Lawrence Arrives.
When her head bumped a stone and she found that couldn't retreat anymore, the look of despair and desire to escape on her face caused the thugs to hesitate. The chilling threat came,
"This baby of yours doesn't even weigh two pounds, it won't survive! You both must die. Accept your fate, and I can promise to leave your bodies intact."
Winnie's trembling lips smirked coldly. She suddenly summoned her last ounce of strength, stood up and looked behind her. Underneath was a vast expanse of water, the raging waves swallowing everything.
At that moment, despair and surrender came so quickly.
She forced out an eerie smile, desperately protecting her baby who was not yet full-term. The baby was too small, hardly moving.
Her eyes reflected shattered fragments shimmering with a bloody sorrow, until finally, darkness consumed everything.
"I won't let Darcy harm us even a bit, my baby, I'm sorry, Mommy is so sorry..."
"Lawrence R, Lawrence R, Lawrence R...!! I hate you, in this life and the next, I will never forgive you!"
As she leaped backward, her disheveled hair fluttered like a dancing ribbon. She shielded her baby, closed her eyes in despair, and tears fell into the boundless sea below.
Darcy said, "He didn't want this child, but since he couldn't bring himself to do it, he allowed me to act recklessly."
She said, "He knew that by sending you to the mental hospital for a while, the child would be tortured to death."
She could doubt everything else, but she couldn't doubt this. That last desperate phone call reached him, but he treated it as if it didn't exist.
Darcy... said, he left Lymington tonight just to avoid you being peaceful, to indulge her in solving the 'troubles' that shouldn't exist.
Baby, Mommy was wrong! The biggest mistake was placing hope in this man, he is heartless to the extreme.
Mommy will always be with you, I won't let you fall into the hands of bad people, and endure torment. Mommy loves you...
But Mommy hates, hates so much, even if I die, I won't let go of that bitch couple, I won't! These were Winnies final thoughts as she hit the rushing water below.
Several thugs ran to the end of the millstone in dumbfounded astonishment, looking down, there was a surging coastline with white waves! Apart from the sound of the wind, not even the sound of a fall could be heard.
"Where is that despicable woman!" Darcy ran over in the darkness, with an excited expression, finally not letting Winnie escape!
"Miss Ordelia!" The thugs were somewhat flustered, unsure whether to be happy or worried, "She gave birth to a child... but in order to prevent us from taking the child away, she jumped into the sea while holding the child!"
"What?" Darcy was startled for a moment.
She quickly regained her senses, ran to the edge of the cliff, and held up a flashlight to look hard. When she saw the height of the cliff, she couldn't help but curl her lips completely.
Before the graceful curve reached its peak, a thug suddenly stepped on something soft, not like a stone.
He backed away and looked on the ground with the flashlight, "Miss Ordelia?!"
"Why are you making such a fuss?" The leader of the men reproached his startled subordinate from afar.
"This, this, there's another child!! I don't know if it's alive or dead."
"How is that possible?" Darcy widened her eyes and hurriedly ran to the spot of blood on the hillside. Under the millstone, half a meter below, there really was a tender, reddish baby, still covered in blood. It was all wrinkled up, too small, and there was no crying, making it difficult to notice.
"What's going on? Didn't you say she jumped with the child?" Darcy was horrified.
"It's true, she jumped while holding that child, we all saw it. But how could there be another one?"
The woman stared coldly at the ground, pondering for a long time. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes with a gloomy expression. Could it be that Winnie was pregnant with twins?!
Does she herself not know? Does Mr. L know? Whether he knows or not, this child must be taken care of.
She absolutely could not leave behind any future trouble, affecting her and Mr. L's marriage in the future!
"Pick it up and throw it down together." Darcy ordered ruthlessly.
The thugs hesitated as they picked up the barely alive baby, when suddenly Darcy received a phone call. It was Jeffery on the other end,
"Miss Ordelia, it's not good, Mr. Rodriguez suddenly came back to the sanatorium in his private plane! It just landed on the rooftop, and now he's searching for Winnie all over the mountain..."
"What?" Darcy's complexion changed drastically, before she could react, a red dot flashed across the sky in the distance above her head.
In the dense forest, there was a helicopter shuttling back and forth
.
"Wait!" Darcy's face turned pale, she quickly thought, not knowing if Mr. L had a pair of binoculars on the plane.
At this moment...
Darcy hesitated before throwing this little bastard down the cliff side, it's too eye-catching. What if he discovers it...?
Now, Darcy had to think on her feet and quickly fake everything in front of her. The direction the helicopter was coming from was along the coastline...
She quickly instructed the thug to put the baby back where it was. After thinking for two seconds, she took the knife, cut the baby's delicate blood vessels, and sprinkled the blood on the cliff edge before throwing the knife into the sea.
She squinted and said mysteriously, "Smear the fresh blood along the roadside quickly! Also, get rid of all the traces of the fight, make them disappear!"
After giving the instructions, Darcy, with a gloomy expression, called Ray again, her voice hoarse.
"Ray, Jeffery saved me. You don't need to rush to the inn anymore. I'm worried that Winnie's extreme actions might cause premature birth. I can't help but look for her. Now I'm by the seaside, and I found some unusual bloodstains... Inform Mr. L quickly!" Darcy cut the call quickly before phoning the director of the sanatorium.
"Director, can you send the surveillance footage of Olivia saving Winnie to Mr. Rodriguez?"
She hung up the phone, squinted, glanced at the sea below the cliff, and nervously looked up at the helicopter, getting closer and closer.
Slowly, she raised her hand with a flashlight...
"Mr. Rodriguez, there are lights shining at us by the coastal road. Is it Miss Anderson asking for help?" Luke stared outside the cabin and suddenly shouted.
Lawrence R's handsome face turned pale, as ever since twenty minutes ago, he suddenly experienced a tightness in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The vein on his forehead had been throbbing, telling him that something bad must have happened.
He clenched his slender fingers tightly, but no matter how tight, cold sweat streamed down his body. It was as if something had slipped through his grasp, creating a feeling of loss that he couldn't hold onto, causing panic to fill his heart.
He suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted, "Land quickly!"
That damn woman, no matter what she did, she must be safe, both mother and child...!
One second before the helicopter landed, delayed footage suddenly played from the computer. Luke opened it and Lawrence R's gaze turned cold in an instant.
The surveillance clearly captured Olivia disguising herself as a nurse, breaking into the hospital ward, and rescuing Winnie.
Earlier, the dean stuttered and said that Winnie had escaped and the signal in the mountains was bad, but the surveillance was being repaired.
He didn't believe it. Lawrence R clenched his jaw, and tightened his fists.
As the helicopter landed by the roadside, Darcy's cried for help suddenly echoed from the woods on the hillside. "Who's there? Is it Mr. L? Mr. L, please come and save me, save this child..."
What child?
A tall man jumped off the plane and couldn't help but stiffen.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he rushed towards the cliff at the fastest speed, "Darcy... Whose child is it?"
