We aren’t married yet, and I haven’t even met his parents. Having a baby at this time doesn’t seem


    appropriate. However, the baby came, and it was a joyous asion. It was just that it came a little too


    early.


    Ellen was considering whether she should call Jared to tell him or wait until he came home tonight.


    Before she could make a decision, her phone rang.


    She picked it up and saw that it was Brook calling. “Hello, Mr. Linton.” “Is this Ellen Reiss? Mr. Linton


    just got hit by someone and is in the hospital. Can youe over?”


    “What? Is it serious? Which hospital?” Ellen asked anxiously. “He broke his leg, but it’s not that serious.


    He’s at General Hospital. Come over quickly!”


    Ellen grabbed her bag from the couch, held her phone tightly, and rushed out. Brook was already


    seventy years old this year and couldn’t afford to take a hit like this!


    At this moment, outside the hospital, several people who looked like gang members were smoking and


    chatting in a ck MPV “Will this trick work? Will it attract this girl Over?”


    “I heard she’s Brook’s direct disciple. She’ll definitelye.”


    “This girl is really pretty, huh?” “What the-What are you thinking? Before we get the money, you can’t


    mess around! Remember the five hundred thousand! After we get the money, you can sleep with


    whatever woman you like.”


    There wasughter in the car as they dreamt of getting arge sum. Kidnapping someone wasn’t their


    first time. The leader’s phone rang, and he answered, “Hello!”


    “Boss, that girl just got out of the taxi and is walking towards the hospital! Should we take action now?”


    “No, wait until she finishes visiting Brook andes out. Besides, we have someone to help us, and


    he’ll bring her to us.”

    Ellen walked quickly towards the ward, pushed open the door, and saw Brook sitting there with a


    bandage wrapped around his leg. Two disciples from the chess club were taking care of him.


    “Ellen, why did youe? It’s just a minor injury!” Brook felt sorry for her making the trip. “Who hit


    you?” Ellen sat down and angrily asked.


    At this moment, a gentle-looking young man with sses walked in and apologized, “I’m sorry, it was


    me. I didn’t mean to do it. I identally knocked him down.”


    Ellen red at him and then asked about Brook’s condition. The doctor suggested that Brook should


    be observed in the hospital for two days. After chatting for twenty minutes, Brook insisted that she head


    back first and he would call if there was an emergency. So, Ellen finally left with relief. As she exited the


    room, she saw the man who hit Brook standing outside the door.


    “I’m sorry, miss. I didn’t mean to hit him. I will take full responsibility for the medical expenses, the man


    said apologetically.


    “Leave your phone number, and we will let you know the specific cost when he is discharged,” Ellen


    replied. He immediately pressed the elevator button for her and said, “Okay, don’t worry. I will not shirk


    my responsibility.” He then handed her his business card, which had his phone number and address.


    Ellen took the card and left the elevator quickly. The man followed her and asked, “Miss, where are you


    going? Can I give you a ride?” “No, thanks,” Ellen rejected.


    The man followed Ellen out all the way, and just as she stood at the intersection, a ck MPV suddenly


    stopped in front of her. The door opened, and she thought someone was getting off, but unexpectedly a


    huge force pushed her towards the vanpartment from behind, and a man inside quickly stretched


    out his hands and pulled her in with great strength.


    Ellen could not call for help. She was pushed into the van, and the person who knocked Brook over


    also got in. Her hands and feet were pressed and bound no matter how she struggled, and even her


    mouth was taped.
