"No, I won't die. Mr. Zac will find us soon. He is the most powerful person in the world. He will definitely
save us." Leaning against the cold wall, Essie comforted her in a low voice. Her voice was very weak,
and a strong labor pain was gradually taking away her strength.
In fact, she was so scared. She was afraid that something would happen to the baby in her belly, that
she couldn't hold on to Zac to save her, and that she would be trapped here with Shyla.
It was all her fault. She was too impulsive and reckless. She should have informed the security guard
that she shouldn't have come down alone.
She must be out of her mind again, so she did such a stupid thing. She not only failed to save Shyla,
but also hurt the baby in her belly.
'Baby, hold on. Daddy will come to save us. You must hold on. Don't leave Mommy... It's all my fault. I
didn't protect you well... I'm sorry!'
Tears welled up in her eyes. She was so sad that she wanted to cry. But she couldn't cry. She raised
her head again to hold back her tears.
Her stomach was so painful that she wanted to scream, but she gritted her teeth and didn't even make
a sound.
Shyla was beside her. She couldn't frighten her, making her panic and lose the will to live.
She stretched out her hand and fumbled on the ground. She touched a stone and said, "Shyla, listen to
me. You go upstairs with this stone and knock the bricks on it hard. Keep knocking. Someone will come
to save us if they hear the sound."
Shyla nodded obediently, took the stone, went upstairs and knocked hard.
"Mrs. Essie, you won't die, will you?" She looked at her trembling as she knocked on the door. Seeing
more and more blood on her trousers, she was more and more scared.
"No, I won't die." Shaking her head, Essie forced a smile.
"What about your baby? Will he die?" She sniffed.
"No, he won't. He just wants to come out early to see his parents, brother and sister." Essie touched
her aching belly weakly.
"Mili said she wants a little sister. Will you give birth to a little sister for her?" Shyla blinked her big eyes.
"Yes, I will." Essie nodded.
She felt that the child was slowly falling down, and a warm stream spread out under her body.
It was the amniotic fluid. It broke.
The baby was about to give birth.
He was only seven months old. It was all her fault. She didn't protect him well. She was not a good
mother!
"Shyla, the baby is about to be born. Don't be afraid if I cry out of pain later. Keep knocking on the
bricks and don't stop, okay?"
"Okay, Mrs. Essie. You must give birth to the baby safely." Shyla nodded heavily. Although she was still
young, she had already known the meaning of a new life. "If Mili knows that her little sister is going to
be born, she must be very happy. I also have a little sister. My father gave birth to her with another
aunt. My father likes her very much and bought her new clothes and toys. But her mother said that it
didn't matter. Shyla had her mother's love and she would buy new clothes and toys for Shyla. So I
won't compete with her. I will love her as much as my father does. "
"Good girl, Shyla. You are a good girl." Essie tried to smile at her. Unconsciously, she also thought of
her half sister.
She remembered that there was a saying in a drama, "Brothers of the same mother had a natural
connection, and of the same father had a connection of interests. They will hurt each other for interests,
so the relationship between brothers of two different mothers is the most unreliable."
These words applied to both the royal family in ancient times and the rich families nowadays.
The first time she met Valery, they had been at loggerheads. After that, there would be endless battles,
from fighting for her mother to herself, from fighting for her father to fighting for her husband.
It seemed that their contradictions would never be reconciled. In their lives, they would never be
reconciled.
In a rich family, there were too many benefits. Not only the brothers and sisters of different mothers, but
also the brothers and sisters of the same mother could hurt each other. For example, Zac and Walt, it
was said that the relationship between twins was closer than that between ordinary siblings, because
they had been together since the embryo. However, she didn't know if she was too sensitive. She
always felt that the two brothers were not too close, as if there was an invisible gap between them.
"Shyla, when we go out, I will take you as my sworn daughter, okay?"
"Okay, Mrs. Essie. Mili had a sworn mother. I want a sworn mother too," Shyla said happily.
Outside the secret passage, the security guard in charge of the monitoring system had found
something unusual. He immediately informed the director of the security department, and the director
immediately called Zac.
Zac came back at a fast speed.
"At nine five, Mrs. Essie entered Shyla's room. At half past nine, a maid sneaked out. We were worried
about Mrs. Essie, so we sent people to investigate. But there was no one in the room. Mrs. Essie was
missing. We have asked the steward to identify this maid. Her name is Peri and she is in charge of
cleaning the bamboo forest. Now the security guards are looking around for Mrs. Essie and Peri,"
Director Liu reported.
The nerves all over Zac's body tensed, and his heart beat fast and disorderly in extreme worry and
tension, almost bursting out from his mouth.
'What is this little fool doing here alone? Doesn't he know that she is still pregnant?
"Go to that room again." His throat was trembling and his voice was trembling. There must be
something wrong with that room!
He pushed the door open and ordered the security guards to move out all the things, as well as the
carpet. In this way, it was easy to find the clues.
He took a dozen deep breaths in a row to force himself to calm down. His little fool was waiting for him
to save her. He couldn't panic, he couldn't panic, he must calm down!
It was impossible for a living person to disappear from here without a reason, unless...
While he was thinking, a faint knock came from the ground. He ordered all the security guards to keep
quiet.
He lay on the ground and pressed his ears against the gold bricks.
"Knock, knock, knock..." The sound was heard intermittently under the golden bricks. He soon guessed
that it was from the right corner of the wall.
He asked the security guard to give him a hammer and knocked the golden bricks with some force.
In the secret passage, Shyla heard the sound from above. Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Mrs. Essie,
listen. There is a sound. It must be Mr. Zac who heard me knocking on the bricks and found us."
"Well, Shyla, knock harder." A glimmer of light flashed through Essie's desperate heart. She knew that
Zac would come to save her. Every time she was in danger, he would fall from the sky like an angel,
protect her, save her from the attack of fire and water, and never let her down.
As long as he was there, she was not afraid of anything.
But he had to hurry up. She was so painful that she almost fainted. She was very worried that she
could not hold him in. She was very worried that the child would be fine.
"Baby, you must hold on. Daddy is coming soon. Don't you like Daddy the most? When you come out,
I'll ask daddy to tell stories to you every day and sing to you every day, okay? " She touched her belly
and comforted her with her last strength.
She believed that the baby could hear her. He was very smart. He often touched her belly with his little
hands and feet in response to her words.
She knew that he was very scared now. He should still stay comfortably in his mother's belly before he
was born. It was mommy's fault that she didn't protect him well and made him injured, so he had to
come to this world in advance.
She was also afraid. No matter how painful it was, she could bear it. As long as her child was fine, she
was willing to pay everything, even if she traded her life for his life.
Besides, what she feared most was that he would be born in this dark and wet place. He hadn't
developed well and his resistance must be very weak. There were many bacteria in this place. What if
he was infected?
'So, Icy guy, you have to hurry up. Before the child is born, take her out and let the child appear in a
clean and safe place. As soon as he opens his eyes, he can see his beloved father. Only in this way
can he have the courage and will to live well.'
Shyla exerted all her strength. She clenched the stone with her two small hands and hit the bricks hard,
fearing that the people on the bricks couldn't hear her. Her fingers were scratched, so she tried her best
to hold back her anger.
Outside the secret passage, Zac's shirt was soaked in sweat. He had already asked the security to call
the obstetrician and nurse here, waiting for an emergency.
Director Liu found an infrared detector to probe the situation under the golden bricks. The device must
be hidden under one of them.
When he turned the instrument to the left corner, it let out a cry, "It must be here," he shouted.
Zac ran over and pried the bricks up. Seeing the mechanism below, the nervous nerves were slightly
relieved.
He twisted the control and with a loud bang, the door of the secret passage opened again.
When Shyla saw him at the stair case, she ran out in a hurry. "Mr. Zac, hurry up to save Mrs. Essie.
She has lost a lot of blood. The little sister is about to be born."
The nerves and internal organs all over Zac's body twisted and he rushed downstairs.
Seeing his tall and familiar figure, a smile appeared on Essie's weak and pale face. "Icy guy, you're
finally here."
Looking at her suffering from the sharp pain, his heart seemed to be stabbed by thousands of sharp
blades. "Don't be afraid, you little fool. You will be fine. I will not let you be hurt." His voice trembled with
extreme heartache. He carried her up and rushed out.
The doctor and nurse came over and quickly sent Essie to the ambulance.
The doctor examined Essie and said with a serious look, "Mr. Zac, the baby is already in the birth
canal. It's too late to go to the hospital. We are going to deliver the baby in the car."
Hearing this, the nurse quickly made preparations.
Zac held Essie's hand and said, "It's okay. My little fool, don't be afraid. It's okay." He comforted her in
succession, his fingers slightly twitching. At this moment, he was actually one hundred times more
nervous than her.
