The sky above the Rong Mansion was shrouded in a cloud of melancholy.
Lucy couldn't bear the bad news that her grandson was kidnapped. She was so anxious that she slip
into her old illness. Zac arranged nurses and servants to help Bob take care of her in the villa in
Phoenix Road.
It had been a day and a night since Essie closed her eyes. She cried hoarse and her tears were dry.
Her eyes were as swollen as walnuts. Most importantly, she didn't eat even a drop of water, just like a
blooming rose encountering wind, frost, snow and rain, and began to wither slowly.
Zac felt his heart ache and anxious.
In the evening, after a video call with William and Jay in the study, he found that Essie was not in the
room.
He went to the bathroom to look for her, but there was no one there. His nerves suddenly tightened. He
was afraid that she would do something stupid and hurried downstairs to look for her.
Essie had left the Rong Mansion and ran on the road to the iron gate.
It was in the middle of winter, and a cold tide came. The temperature at night was quite low. The night
wind blew through the dark sky, shaking branches and leaves.
Essie only wore a thin pajama. The cold wind swept over her body, as if a knife was cutting her body.
She didn't wear shoes either. On her bare feet, the gravel on the road cut her soles, and blood seeped
out every step she took.
But she couldn't feel the pain in her body, because the pain in her heart had covered up everything.
She ran forward desperately, biting her lips and using all her strength.
Her child was somewhere outside. He was so scared that he was waiting for his mother to save him.
She couldn't wait any longer. She had to find him as soon as possible. Even if she ran all over the
Dragon City, she had to find him.
A stone in front of her tripped her feet and she fell heavily to the ground. Her elbows, palms and knees
were all scraped. She gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but failed.
She hadn't slept for a day and a night, and she hadn't eaten anything, which had already made her
extremely weak. The reason why she hadn't fallen down yet was entirely based on the will to look for
the child.
"Dawny, wait for Mommy. Mommy will be here soon." She seemed to have heard the baby's cry. Then
she struggled to get up and continued to run forward. But after a few steps, her legs completely lost
strength and became soft. Just as she fell down again, a pair of solid arms held her in their arms.
Seeing that her legs and feet were all injured and she was in such a mess, Zac's internal organs began
to twitch.
"Icy guy, I heard Dawny's voice. He is calling me. He is looking for Mommy. Take me to him quickly!"
She grabbed the hem of his cloth and cried.
"Don't worry. Dawny'll be fine." As Zac spoke, he took her back to the house as fast as a tornado.
Although she was put on the bed, she struggled to get out and refused to cooperate with him to apply
medicine. He had no choice but to ask the servant to hold her hands and feet to prevent her from
moving randomly.
"Zac Rong, you bastard! Let go of me! I'm going to look for Dawny!" she shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Mr. Zac, Mrs. Essie seems to be abnormal. Is she insane? I heard that women are easily to suffer from
this kind of disease after giving birth," a servant said worriedly.
Anxiety was written all over Zac's face. He knew that what the maid said 'insane' was actually
postpartum depression. After giving birth to the baby, a woman's mood would become unstable
because of the rapid change of hormones in her body. If she was hit by external force again, it was
easy to cause depression.
Zac immediately called the doctor. After the diagnosis, the doctor confirmed that Essie was suffering
from postpartum depression, which was a serious symptoms. He had to be careful not to let her get
hurt or commit suicide.
The doctor injected her with a tranquilizer and she fell asleep. Maybe it was because she was too tired
that she did not wake up the second morning.
Zac received a call from William. They found a car that the suspicion kidnapped the child. He asked a
servant to take care of Essie and rushed there.
The car was abandoned in a col. There was a baby corpse on the back seat and a provocative letter
from the other party. "Mr. Zac, I hope you can be satisfied with my gift for meeting!"
Zac hit the door with his fist angrily. With a crack, the door was sunken deeply.
"Boss, calm down. They have played this trick once. It must not be the little master," William comforted
him.
"I know!" Zac squeezed a few words between his teeth, and an extremely cold light flashed through his
eyes.
"Inform our people to stop the carpet search and change to our own people to secretly search. All the
paths and entrances must be strictly guarded." Now that the kidnapper wanted to make him believe
that the baby was gone, he would go along with it, pretending to be fooled them and let them off guard.
"What shall we say to Mrs. Essie? If she thinks the baby is gone..." Jay wanted to say something but
stopped on a second thought.
"Block the media," Zac said in a low voice.
When he returned to the Rong Mansion, Essie had just woken up. As soon as she opened her eyes,
she clamored to look for the child.
"Mili and Dot are here." Zac brought the two children to her.
Mili's eyes were brimming with tears. While sobbing, she said, "Mommy, daddy is the best. He will
definitely find our little brother."
Dot clenched his fists. He really hoped that he could grow up as soon as possible so that he could help
his parents drive the bad guys away.
"I'm not a good mother. I didn't protect your little brother well. I'm useless," said Essie, holding them in
her arms. She cried, extremely depressed.
"You are a good mother. Didn't you protect us well when we were in America? It's all our enemy's fault.
They have planned to kidnap our little brother. It has nothing to do with you. " Mili reached out her small
hand and gently stroked her back, comforting her like an adult.
"I must find Dawny. I must find Dawny," Essie said resolutely.
Zac held them in his arms and said, "Trust me, I can find him. I will find out Willi, the dead mouse, and
destroy him!"
Essie buried her head in his chest and said, "Icy guy, you will never let me down, and you won't let me
down this time, will you?"
Zac caressed her head and said, "You have to trust me, and also trust Dawny. He has defeated the
king of hell. He can get through this."
Essie nodded desperately and cried. The baby had suffered too much from the beginning. In her belly,
he had endured the suspicion and slander of others about his identity. Later, he was premature birth,
and now he was kidnapped by the enemy. As a mother, she should have taken the disaster for him.
How could she put all these suffers on his fragile and young shoulder?
"I know. I should be stronger. But when I think of what might happen to Dawny, I feel terrible and can't
calm myself down."
"My little fool, haven't you always been optimistic? Think in the good direction," Zac said softly.
Essie's mind was in a mess. Her baby was her Achilles' heel. Once she was strangled, all her brain fart
would happen again and she could no longer be rational.
Mrs. Rose brought the bird's nest congee to Essie. She and Irene moved into the Rong Mansion for the
time being, so that they could take care of Essie and the children. If there were more people helping
Zac to comfort her, she could feel better.
"Essie, you just finish sitting the month. You are still weak. You should eat more and take good care of
yourself before you have the strength to look for the baby."
Zac took the porridge, scooped up a spoon and fed it to her mouth. "Aunt is right. You are going to
collapse. Who will take care of Dawny when he comes back? Who will feed him?"
Hearing this, Essie opened her mouth and ate the congee. Although she had no appetite at all, she
was still very nervous and depressed, but she gritted her teeth and ate up the congee bit by bit. She
still had a glimmer of hope and a belief that her child would come back.
However, someone was trying to break her last belief and make her completely collapse.
In the afternoon, a mysterious and anonymous message was sent to her phone, on which there was a
burned baby body.
"Look at your beloved son, Dawny!"
"No --" Essie threw away her phone, covered her ears and let out a piercing scream, passing out.
Zac was holding a cup of jujube tea. Hearing the noise, he rushed into the room. Mrs. Rose also came
over. She pinched Essie's philtrum with her thumb and helped her wake up slowly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Essie pointed at the phone on the ground and screamed madly,
"What's that? What's that? Have you already known it? Did you hide it from me on purpose?"
Zac had seen the photo on the top. He held her hand and held her in his arms. "This is a trick of our
enemy. He is not Dawny. We have extracted DNA tests, not Dawny's." In order to calm her down, he
had to lie. In fact, the corpse was so scorched that it was impossible to extract the DNA.
"Really? Didn't you lie to me?" Essie was so scared that her whole body was shaking violently.
"When did I lie to you? Think about it carefully. If they really want to take revenge on us, they don't
have to take so much effort. They could have kill him in the hospital. What they need to do is to
threaten us with Dawny as a hostage, so he will be fine for the time being," Zac explained patiently.
"Since they want to take Dawny as a hostage, why haven't they put forward any conditions to frighten
us by doing this?" Essie was still restless.
