    "Help my unborn baby, Anthony…" Autumn pleaded in a weak and shaky voice, as she gripped


    Anthony''s clothes.


    "Baby?" Anthony murmured to himself with a confused expression. As soon as he noticed the blood on


    the ground, he thought that Autumn had lost her babies.


    Autumn struggled to nod at him. "Yes, there is still one left."


    "Don''t worry about your baby," Anthony instinctively answered. "The most important thing is to save


    your life."


    "No..." Autumn uttered, as she reached out and grasped Anthony with her hand full of blood. Anthony


    froze in shock to see her bloody hands. He could not believe his eyes.


    Autumn looked so pale. Her eyes were full of frustration and desperation as if she was losing hope. "If


    you have to choose between me and my baby, please keep the baby. I don''t want to live anymore," she


    desperately pleaded.


    "What are you talking about?" Anthony eximed. Actually he was mad at himself. Anthony med


    himself for what just happened. He stormed towards the entrance while enfolding Autumn in his arms.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to you. You''ll be okay."


    "Listen to me… keep the baby safe," Autumn insisted. "Please… Anthony. If I''m dead, help me raise


    him, will you?" she pleaded.


    "Don''t say that!" Anthony answered. Anthony feared that he might lose Autumn any moment if she kept


    exhausting her energy. To reassure her, he said,"I promise both you and your baby will be safe."


    As an experienced doctor, he always kept his first aid kit in his trunk.


    Judging by Autumn''s condition, he was aware that he should waste no time. He grabbed his kit and


    helped her to deliver the baby. He desperately wanted to fulfill his promise to Autumn.


    After an intensebor, he felt relieved and said,"It''s a baby girl!" Anthony eximed dly, as he took


    off his coat to wrap the baby in.


    Autumn squeezed a smile on her face, and mumbled,"I''m so d..."


    "Your wound needs to be taken cared of. I''m taking you to the hospital," Anthony said.


    Autumn shook her head adamantly. "Don''t take me to the hospital. Don''t contact anyone," she


    demanded


    She just wanted to stay alone. After saying this, she cked out.


    This once happy woman just lost her closest family member, got one of her children stolen and was


    betrayed by her very own husband. Autumn couldn''t take it anymore.


    After some hesitation, Anthony followed Autumn''s request and took her home.


    As soon as they reached home, he dealt with Autumn''s wound. He then took care of the baby and


    ced the baby on his bed. Looking at the baby girl, he couldn''t help but worry about his new


    responsibilities.


    He bought lots of baby milk and diapers he other day. As the child kept crying, he knew he had to feed


    her and tuck her to sleep.


    Autumn was sleeping soundly on the bed. Since she disappeared, Charles looked everywhere for her


    in Y City.


    "Mr. Lu, please eat something. Since Mrs. Lu disappeared, you haven''t eaten anything or gotten any


    sleep. If you continue to act like this, you''ll get sick," Nancy pleaded.


    "Get out of my sight!" Charles yelled at her angrily. He had put his guard on, unwilling to talk to Nancy,


    not to anyone. He got so irritated with Nancy.


    "Mr. Lu, I..." Nancy muttered, trying not to cry. Autumn left home three days ago. Since then, she had


    nevere back. The first day his wife disappeared, Charles had called up I. When he learned that


    I didn''t meet Autumn, he fell into a panic.


    He then contacted Brent but no one answered.


    No clue on Autumn''s whereabouts until the police discovered Autumn''s car and Brent''s lifeless body by


    the cliff. They also found a full bag of money.


    The only good news was that Autumn wasn''t there at the crash site.


    The car was a total wreck. Charles had no idea what happened, but he had a hunch that Brent had


    something to do with Autumn''s disappearance.


    "I feel sorry for what happened to Mrs. Lu, but you can''t treat yourself like this. Otherwise, you''ll


    copse sooner orter..." Nancy continued, expressing her deep concern. When she learned about


    Brent''s death, she was heart-broken. Compared to her grief for the loss of her son though, she felt


    more sorry for Autumn and Charles.


    Brent was just a driver. It was impossible for him to have a great deal of money.


    There was only one exnation for it. He must have sold Autumn out.


    Nancy was sad and ashamed. She had considered leaving the Lu family. But she gave up on that


    thought and instead, waited for Autumn toe back.


    If only Autumn would return safely, Nancy thought she could leave without any apprehensions.


    "I asked you to leave! Haven''t I made myself clear to you?" Charles howled at her furiously. Charles


    had always been a reserved and calm man. It was the first time she had seen Charles got so furious


    like this. Nancy had been working for the Lu family for years. Believing that she deserved Charles''


    anger, she remained silent.


    The Lu family helped them a lot over the years. The family treated Nancy and her son well, but they


    only brought trouble in return.


    She poisoned Autumn''s food once and now her son was involved in her disappearance. She wouldn''t


    me Charles even if he killed her.


    With a wry smile, Nancy left the food tray on the table and returned to the kitchen quietly.


    ''I should have asked Brent to leave when I discovered him stealing things. None of this would have


    happened, '' she med herself.


    Knowing Autumn had an ident, Chris hurried to return from abroad.


    Aron, Andy and Sam already used all their connections to search for Autumn, but they failed to locate


    her.


    Autumn vanished from the world without a trace.


    After looking for Autumn for three long days, Charles was at the brink of losing hope.


    Andy kept digging and finally found out that Ferry came back to Y City secretly about half a month ago,


    before Autumn disappeared.


    "What did you just say?" Charles asked, exasperated. He hadn''t gotten any sleep for three days. He


    grabbed Andy by his cor and berated,"You told me that you would keep an eye on Ferry, look what


    you''ve done! Almost twenty days has passed, and you just found out about this?"
