Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1029

If Heather plans to visit a doctor in Wegas, she should choose one of the hospitals downtown. But now she is here, meaning that she didn't mean to see a doctor in the first place, and she has another goal to achieve around Wegas.

"You're zoning out, El." Narissa waved in front of Elise.

Just when Elise turned to face Narissa, Heather already got out of the hospital.

"Narissa, did you see that girl?" Elise pointed at Heather's receding back while tightening her grip around Narissa's arm. "Follow her. She might be the clue that leads to Danny's whereabouts."

As she was pregnant, she could only depend on Narissa.

"What?" Narissa, who seemed exhausted a moment ago, was thrilled to hear Elise's words. Casting a glance at the entrance, she patted her chest and promised, "You can count on me. I'll come back with good news."

"Raymond, look after her."

After entrusting Elise to Raymond, she turned on her heels and ran in the direction Heather left as quickly as a flash.

Elise scanned her surroundings before calling Alexander. "Darling, where are you now?"

"The Times Square," he answered.

"Are you preparing for the live stream?" She shot him another question.

"That's right. I just registered an account. Did something happen?" he replied with a gentle tone.

As Alexander had promised her not to put the family's future at stake, Elise wasn't worried about his plan. She explained, "I saw Heather in the hospital just now. Since she loves Matthew so much, she must have come here with him. I already asked Narissa to follow her. She might be able to find their hideout."

She was hoping that her words could give Alexander a little boost in confidence before he made any decisions.

For the time being, Matthew didn't have full control over the situation, so they didn't have to do exactly what he wanted.

"All right. I got it." Alexander's tone was calm. After a pause, he added with a soothing voice, "Don't worry, honey. Even if the sky is falling, I'll protect you."

Even at this point, he still kept his sense of humor. Hmm, resilient as always. And that's the Alexander I know.

"I'm not worried. Take your time. I'll cook dinner for you, so see you at home."

"All right."

...

Heather took a few detours on the way until she stopped in front of a convenience store.

Just when she was about to take a cab, she received a call from Matthew.

Afraid of worrying him, she immediately answered, "Hello, Matthew. What is it?"

"Where are you?" he began with a flat tone that betrayed no emotions.

"Me? I'm staying at the farm. You asked me to keep an eye on Danny, didn't you?" There was a slight flutter in her answer.

"How dare you lie to me? I'm at the farm now. How about showing up right now if you're here?"

She was taken aback by his reprimand. "I'm sorry, Matt. I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that I'm not feeling very well. I swear I'm cautious. Nobody is following me."

"Just cut it out, will you? Your apology doesn't mean anything. I don't care whether somebody is following you or not. Don't come back yet. I don't want you to ruin the plan. Just find some hole-in-the-wall motel to stay the night," he replied petulantly.

"I understand." His harsh tone hurt her, but she didn't argue with him. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke to gauge his reaction, "Matt, why don't we start a family?"

"What?" He couldn't believe his ears.

"I mean, we are not young anymore. Don't you think it's about time to have a kid? I—"

"Hold on." Before Heather could tell him what the doctor said, he interrupted, "You know best what is going on right now, but you still dare ask for such a thing. Why can't you put yourself in my place for once?"

Matthew thought for a moment. "Are you pregnant again? If so, have an abortion before you come back. I don't want any trouble in the future."

Heather's heart dropped. "Matt, is our child just a trouble to you?"

No immediate answer came from the other side of the phone.

The next moment, she heard Matthew's heartless reply. "I have never made you stay with me. If you have a different idea, you can leave now. You don't even need to come back. After all, I don't need

anyone's help."

"Matt, that's not what I mean—"

Before she could even explain, he hung up on her, and all she heard was the disconnected tone.

Heather exhaled as powerlessness enveloped her.

Matt. We have been together for seven years. Why can't you give me a little more trust after everything we have come through?

Putting her hands on her belly, she raised her head to watch the overcast sky and decided to hide her pregnancy from him.

...

After Narissa quit the search, Jamie took over the vacancy by accompanying Ariel in her search.

The pair searched without a lead the whole time. At last, they finally found their suspect, who looked out of place among the residents, on the outskirts of a slum.

The man was driving a pickup truck. When his car was waiting for the traffic light to turn green next to Ariel's car, he unintentionally met Ariel's gaze. He panicked after meeting her eyes for a few seconds. Once the light turned green, he hit the gas and the car rolled down the road.

Ariel and Jamie both agreed on following after the driver.

Ariel managed to catch up with the truck with Jamie's instruction.

However, the man was quite cunning. He made a sharp turn into an alleyway, and they lost sight of him.

Immediately hitting the accelerator, Ariel performed a drift and turned around at the junction ahead. Then, she maintained at full speed as she drove toward the alleyway. Just when the pickup truck rushed out from the other side of the alleyway, she accelerated one last time and crashed into the truck.

In a split second, three cars collided. The crash pierced through the skyline.

Ariel and Jamie turned out unscathed with the airbag's protection.

Ariel was the first one to unfasten her seatbelt and got out of the car. She dragged the man out of his truck and pressed him against the hood. Then, she demanded, "Tell me where Matthew is."

The man scraped his forehead during the crash. Blood was rolling down his forehead, and he was having trouble keeping his eyes open. He answered in pain, "Who the hell is Matthew? I don't know him."

"Don't lie! If you don't know him, why did you panic? Why did you run away when we met eyes?" Jamie joined the interrogation.

"Come on, dude. I have to flee Cittadel because I did something. I thought you were coming after me, so I just ran." The man was desperate. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Ariel and Jamie exchanged glances and were convinced that the situation was just a misunderstanding. After all, Matthew's lackeys must know the basics of combat.

"Get lost."

Ariel was raging. She pushed the man off the hood and kicked the truck's door.

The door, which was barely staying in place, fell to the ground with a thud under the impact.

The man, who was trying to make it out of this place, shuddered at the heavy sound and quickened his steps.

"Don't worry. Don't lose your hopes yet. Danny will be fine." Jamie could understand where her frustration came from, so he tried to comfort her.

At that moment, a woman's surprised voice came out from another car's passenger seat.

"It's really you, Jamie." Alicia stood next to her car. As she talked to him, she closed the door.

"Alicia?" Jamie approached her. "What are you doing here? Are you okay?"

Compared to the other two vehicles, Alicia's car suffered smaller damage. However, there was a dent on the surface due to the great impact of the crash.

She shook her head. "Why are you here?"

"A friend went missing. We have been searching for him, but the effort is useless." Putting his hands in his pockets, Jamie explained with a dejected tone.

Suddenly, the barking interrupted their conversation.
