Chapter 672


    Ste did not know how long it had been. She gradually stopped crying, and began to whimper.


    After she cried out loud, she calmed down a lot.


    Ste understood that it was useless to regret at this time.


    All she could do was to pray that William would ovee this safely.


    After Ste settled her mind, rence said, “Stay here. I''ll go out and take a look.”


    Ste''s eyes were red, and she nodded, “Okay.”


    After rence left, Ste looked at the ss wall not far away and nipped her lower lip.


    After a while, she took out her phone.


    Thest chat message from Sherry was on the day before yesterday. Sherry said that ine


    apanied her to the prenatal care checkup, and the doctor said that her baby was healthy.


    Ste couldn''t break the news to her.


    She put down her phone and leaned against the wall.

    A few secondster, it suddenly urred to Ste that Emmett had called her a week ago.


    Ste got up, went to the corridor, and made a call to Emmett.


    Emmett''s voice came through the other end after ringing for a long time, “Ste.”


    Ste said, “When you called me a week ago, were you going to tell me about Daniel''s


    disappearance?”


    Emmett paused at the other end of the phone, “You knew all about it? I wanted to discuss with you


    about whether to tell Sherry first, but then I thought about it and decided not to.”


    Ste said, “I''m in London now.”


    “Then...you saw William too? How is he doing now?”


    “He''s still not out of the woods.”


    Emmett said, “I can''t go there right now. Let me know if anything happens.”


    Ste nodded gently, “Okay.”


    She hung up the call and slowly crouched down against the wall.


    After a long time, rence came back to her, got down on one knee, and stroked her head, “Why are


    you out?”


    Ste raised her head to look at him, “Nothing. Did you find anything?”


    rence helped her up, “Let''s go to the hotel first. I''ll tell you the detailster.”


    Ste turned her head to look at the ward, “But...”


    “Doctors are keeping an eye here, and they will notify us if anything happens. It won''t be of much help


    even if you stay here.”


    Ste followed rence out of the hospital, head drooping.


    rence''s phone rang once they arrived at the hotel. It was a call from City N.


    Ste opened her suitcase and took out some clothes into the bathroom.


    When she walked out of the bathroom, rence had already gone.


    Ste poured a ss of water and sat on the sofa.


    Before long, she received a phone call from Sherry.


    Sherry said, “Ste, how is it? Is Semporna fun?”


    Ste pursed her lips, “I haven''t gone to Semporna yet.”


    “Didn''t you say you were going there a day ago? Did you miss your flight?”


    “No.”


    Sherry said, “Oh. Ah, I forgot you guys took a private ne. Then where are you guys now?”


    Ste looked out of the window and was silent for a few seconds before saying, “We''re still in


    Christchurch now. rence has some matters to deal with.”


    “Mr. Conrad has said to apany you to go out and have fun but now he''s still working? By the way,


    he has handed over the Conrad Group to Justin. What are his ns after that?”


    “I don''t know. I haven''t asked him about that yet. He should have his own decision.”


    “It''s understandable. Mr. Conrad is quite capable, so whatever he does would be fine.”


    Ste asked, “How are Chan and Winnie doing now?”


    “Oh, the two of them. Winnie came to the studio two days ago. I asked her indirectly, and it seems that


    there''s no progress. Moreover, I always feel that Winnie acts oddly whenever she mentions Channing.


    Does she know something?”


    Ste said, “I don''t think so. Chan can''t tell her.”


    Sherry chimed in with her and nodded, “I think so.”


    After chatting for a few more minutes, Sherry said, “I''ll leave you guys alone. Have a good time and


    send me pictures when you get to Semporna.”


    Before she hung up the call, Ste suddenly said, “Sherry.”


    Sherry replied, “What''s wrong?”


    “Are you still having severe pregnancy reactionstely?”


    “I feel better now and not as bad as before.”


    Ste said, “I''d better ask Alisa to cook for you every day. It''s not healthy to eat takeout every day.”


    “No need to bother. Daniel has taught me to cook a few simple dishes before. I''m figuring it out these


    days, and I''ve already made some progress in cooking.”


    Sherry continued, “I have to raise my child in the future and can''t always rely on others. It''s good for me


    to learn these things early.”


    Ste said, “You can rely on me.”


    “Of course, didn''t we agree to raise the child together in the future?”


    Ste smiled, “Yup.”


    There was a sounding from Sherry''s side at this time.


    It was not difficult to guess from the sound that it was ine who had broken the bowl.


    Sherry said, “Ste, I''ll hang up first, bye.”


    “Bye.”


    After hanging up, Ste held the phone and let out a long breath.


    The sky was shrouded by darkness.


    Ste sat on the sofa for the night, and only when it was almost dawn did she feel sleepy and lean


    gently on the side.


    When rence returned to the room, she had just fallen asleep for a short time. Her slender eyebrows


    frowned slightly and was in a fitful sleep.


    rence bent down, picked her up, and walked towards the bedroom.


    When he was about they her on the bed, Ste woke up.


    Her voice was a bit hoarse, “You''re back.”


    rence said, “Go back to sleep.”


    Ste said, “I don''t want to sleep. I want to go to the hospital.”


    “Be good. I''ll take you there when you wake up.”


    Ste looked up at him, “Are you still going out?”


    “No, I''ll stay with you.”


    rence put her on the bed and thenid next to her.


    Ste opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, “Got any news about Daniel?”


    “Not yet, but I have found out who shot and attacked William.”


    “Didn''t you say that they were all paid to do their jobs?”


    rence put his arms around her waist, “We have to find them to know whom they are receiving


    money from.”


    After hearing this, Ste could not help but frown, “Are you going to...”


    rence knew what she was thinking andforted her, “Don''t worry, I won''t risk my life. Besides,


    they''re not qualified enough to let me go there personally.”


    “So what to do now...?”


    “They hijacked a cargo shipst night and prepared to escape. But unfortunately, the cargo ship is


    owned by the James family.”


    Ste was stunned, “The James family?”


    rence said, “I''ve contacted Darnell James, and he will handle it.”


    “Those people have guns, Darnell...”


    rence said, “Everyone reveres Darnell and addresses him as Master of Riverside. He didn’t earn


    this title for nothing.”


    Ste thought about it and felt that he had got a point.


    After all, before she had even met Darnell, he had already left her an impression of a scary and


    bloodthirsty man.
