Chapter 482 Cecily Has Been Kidnapped
Outside the ICU of the private hospital.
Darian's face was tense as he looked at Owen, who was still unconscious inside.
"When will Grandpa wake up?" he asked.
Declan, who was standing next to him, glanced inside and shook his head.
"It's still uncertain. Owen was delayed too long at home before getting to the hospital. He's alive because someone treated him before he passed out, but we don't know when he'll wake up."
Declan had been keeping an eye on things. This was a private hospital, and the news that Owen was still alive had to stay quiet.
The doctors had done their best, but Owen was old and had been delayed in getting treatment. Whether or when he'd wake up was still up in the air.
Darian stared at Owen, covered in tubes, his eyes cold.
Declan patted Darian on the shoulder.
"Who treated Owen before he passed out? That doctor must be skilled. Maybe we should bring them in to look at Owen. They might have a solution," Declan suggested.
Larkin, who was nearby, noticed Darian's doubt and said, "Owen only saw Miss Watson that day. Could it be Miss Watson who treated him?"
"If it was Cecily, that would be convenient. The news that Owen is still alive wouldn't get out so easily."
When Declan saw Darian remain silent, he hesitated and asked, "Darian, should we go find Cecily?"
Darian looked at Owen, feeling torn.
"Josep has been keeping people on Cecily recently. It won't be easy to get her out to treat Grandpa."
Since the board meeting a few days ago, Josep had gone crazy, and had frantically sent people to watch Darian and Cecily.
He could send someone to get rid of those watchers, but their disappearance would arouse Josep's suspicion. If he was discovered, it would be very troublesome, and Josep would constantly try to use Cecily to threaten him like a mad dog.
He couldn't confront Josep head-on until Sandra was found, so he was still passive.
Declan understood Darian's difficulties.
Sandra was still in Josep's hands. If they used force, Josep might go down with them, and Sandra would suffer.
Darian's eyes grew even deeper.
"I have an idea," Declan said, his eyes flashing. "But it might inconvenience Cecily a bit."
At noon, Cecily packed her things and prepared to go out. Just as she stepped outside, Freya walked up to her.
Cecily saw her but didn't intend to pay her any attention. She was very busy, with more and more chaotic matters to attend to, and the early stages of pregnancy were not easy. Cecily had no mind to deal with someone she loathed.
But it was clear that Freya had been waiting here for a long time and wouldn't give up so easily.
"Cecily," Freya, who was wearing high heels and dressed exquisitely, walked up to her.
Freya had been in a good mood these past few days and looked radiant.
"Get rid of her," Cecily instructed the bodyguards on either side, trying to avoid her.
The bodyguards quickly stepped forward.
Freya backed up a couple of steps. "Cecily, why are you so hostile? I just have some good news."
Freya had been sending Cecily pictures for days, but Cecily hadn't responded. Freya was frustrated since she hadn't seen Cecily's anxious reaction.
So today, she had come here in person, wanting to see Cecily's reaction to the news about her and Darian.
"Darian and I are getting engaged. He agreed to it himself," Freya boasted, crossing her arms. "Cecily, I told you I'd win. I'll be Mrs. Fitzgerald now."
Cecily's ears rang with that annoying voice.
Her eyes showed a moment of distraction.
"How about it, Cecily? You killed my mom, and I took away the person you love most. Are you feeling miserable? You deserve it. I'm going to take everything from you."
Darian and Bryan were both hers.
Cecily turned back, her emotions deeply buried within her.
"So, is Darian willing?
"Is Darian marrying you willingly, or did you deceive him while he had amnesia?
"Aren't you afraid that one day Darian will remember, and everything you gained through deceit will turn to dust?"
Cecily looked at Freya, her expression calm with a hint of a mocking smile.
"You feel triumphant because you think you've taken away the person I love most. But just because you took him, does that mean he's yours?" Cecily's lips curved slightly.
Freya stood there, gritting her teeth. Cecily's eyes carried a chill that seemed to freeze her whole body. She couldn't say a single word.
Cecily smiled and turned to leave.
Freya took two steps forward. "Cecily, I will win. Both Darian or Bryan are mine."
Cecily raised an eyebrow and didn't reply, but instead took out her phone and called Bryan.
"Your precious daughter is going crazy at my doorstep. Please take her back, or you'll say I bullied her again, and I can't bear that responsibility."
Bryan seemed a bit surprised, was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Okay."
After speaking, Cecily hung up. The driver brought the car over, and just then, a van blocked the driver's car.
The car door quickly opened, facing Cecily. Two masked men rushed out, one on each side, grabbing Cecily and pulling her into the van.
"Who are you people?"
The bodyguards at the door immediately rushed over to stop the two masked men.
Cecily broke free from one man's hand, ready to fight back. Declan, who had covered his face, quickly said, "Cecily, just cooperate, please."
Cecily looked puzzled, and the bodyguards were also confused.
"I'm kidnapping you, just cooperate, please!"
What kind of operation was this?
Cecily stared into Declan's eyes, seemed to realize something, and gave the bodyguards a look. The bodyguards, who were smart, pretended to fight for a bit but allowed Declan and Hayden to take Cecily into the van.
The door closed, and the van quickly sped away.
Freya, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes. Cecily had been kidnapped!
