Wanda returned quickly, holding several pregnancy tests in her hands.”Sir, I bought different brands. We can try them all.””Hmm,” the electronic voice responded from outside the door, followed by a knock.Hearing the sound, Aveline tensed up, but she knew she had to take the test-she needed to know for certain if she was pregnant.She opened the door, and Wanda came in, guiding her toward the bathroom.”You can leave now,” Aveline said. She wasn’t comfortable with anyone watching her.Wanda nodded and stepped out.Aveline carefully felt her way around the bathroom to make sure Wanda was truly gone before following the instructions Wanda had given her. But she quickly realized she couldn’t manage it alone, so she called Wanda back in. Wanda used the tests for her, and they quietly waited for the results.After five minutes, Wanda glanced at the tests and said, “Miss Young, you’re pregnant.”Aveline smiled, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach. Beneath her flat skin, a tiny life was growing-a child connected to her by blood, her own family.Her heart surged with both joy and heightened vigilance.Wanda took the pregnancy tests outside and spoke to the man.As Aveline stepped out of the bathroom, she heard the electronic voice again. “Aveline, I advise you to terminate the pregnancy. It’s better for both of us.”Her face darkened. “If you try to harm my child, unless you plan to blind me forever, I will kill you!” she threatened, her voice cold and unwavering. She could feel his gaze on her, though she wasn’t sure how long it lingered before he finally spoke again. “Alright, I won’t harm your child.” Aveline exhaled in relief, but the unease remained.What if he secretly gave her abortion drugs without her knowing? She couldn’t see, after all.After a pause, she asked, “How long do you plan on keeping me here? Who are you? Why won’t you tell me anything?”The man didn’t answer her, simply turned and walked out.Aveline, left in the silence, felt even more unsettled as she fumbled her way back to the bed.Anxiety gnawed at her. “What now? What should I do?”…Outside, the man stepped into his car, removing the microphone from around his neck. He rubbed his temples wearily. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller, his expression darkened.On the other end, Selena was too worried to sit still.With no updates from Russell, she called him.”Hello, Russ, do you have any news about Ave?” she asked anxiously the moment the call connected.Russell’s voice sounded tired and raspy. “Not yet. Are you sure she hasn’t left Cloudflare City?”Selena responded firmly, “I’m sure.

You asked me to keep an eye on Miss Young, and grew suspicious when she suddenly left in disguise. I had people follow her, and that’s when we saw her being taken away by him. Mr. Cooper, should we inform Lucas about this?”
