The baby crib had been set up in pink, and James quickly assembled it, even hanging a few dolls on it, making the room feel very cozy.


    “Isabe, do we really need to prepare this early?” Evelyn looked at everything in the room, feeling emotionally conflicted.


    She could imagine that when Isabe’s daughter was born, she would surely be the happiest child in the world. Whatever she wanted, her parents would provide. Even this nursery spoke of Isabe and Emanuele’s meticulousness.


    “Of course we need to prepare early. It’s better to air it out here first. After our daughter is born, we won’t have to worry about environmental and safety issues,” Isabe exined.


    So that’s how it was. Evelyn looked at the happiness in Isabe’s eyes as she continued to instruct James. Her eyes sparkled with hope for the future.


    It was precisely because of this that Evelyn felt even more distressed. In just five or six months, Isabe would give birth to her child. But she wanted to kill the baby now, or else her parents would die. What should she choose?


    Just then, Evelyn’s phone vibrated. She looked down and saw a message from William.


    “Evelyn, I forgot to tell you the deadline. Three days. I’m giving you three days. If I don’t hear about the disappearance of Isabe’s unborn child, I will directly kill your parents.”


    Three days! Oh my God! Evelyn almost wanted to scream. She couldn’t control the trembling that had seized her, and her stomach was twisting, a searing pain spreading through her body like mes.


    Evelyn’s reaction caught the attention of the others. James looked at her, his eyes filled with concern, a rare sight for him. Isabe also noticed Evelyn, and seeing her pale face, furrowed her brow. “Evelyn, are you okay? My God, you look terrible, do you want to go to the hospital?”


    “I feel a bit ufortable in my stomach, I need to rest,” Evelyn gritted her teeth.


    Faced with Isabe’s concern, Evelyn felt even more ashamed.


    “Maybe you should take some medicine for your stomach or something,” Isabe suggested, putting her arm around Evelyn’s shoulder.


    “I’ll go rest in my room,” Evelyn said.


    “Okay, if there’s anything wrong, let me know.”


    Evelyn nodded. Watching Evelyn leave, Isabe noticed James’s gaze fixed on Evelyn. He didn’t express this kind of concern for just anyone. He really cared about Evelyn.


    Thinking back to the time Evelyn had been happy after James hugged her, Isabe thought, maybe Evelyn and James could be together? James was Emanuele’s subordinate, loyal and capable, although his temperament might be a bit rough, he was still a good person. If Evelyn really got together with James, she would have Isabe’s blessings. She believed that once they dealt with William, Chicago would definitely be safe, and they could go out anytime without worrying about the risk of being harmed.


    “James, are you worried about Evelyn?” Isabe asked.


    James hesitated for a moment, and then Isabe noticed that this seemingly rough man looked shy and his ears turned red.


    Isabe was surprised. She hadn’t expected thisrge man to be so shy. The more sheughed, the more flustered James appeared. It seemed he was really afraid of her seeing through his secret.


    Deciding not to tease James further, Isabe focused back on Evelyn’s current situation. Watching James set up the crib, she gave him some instructions on where to ce things and what kind of toys to pair with the crib. They hung dolls in warm colors like pink, blue, and yellow, and finally, theyid out the bedding. Seeing the soft and fluffy baby crib, Isabe felt her heart melt.


    “This is so adorable. Whether my daughter likes it or not, I absolutely love it. I wish I could turn into a baby and lie in this crib.”


    …


    Evelyn returned to her room and closed the door. Only when she was alone could shepletely rx and let her true emotions show. She felt she could cry at any moment. She threw herself onto the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and tried to calm down.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “It’s okay, Evelyn. You can surely think of a better solution. Isabe will be fine, and so will your parents. The only one who will go to hell is William.”


    However, despite thinking this, Evelyn felt like her heart was a tangled mess, a jumble of ropes that she couldn’t straighten out no matter how hard she tried.


    What should she do to protect her parents and ensure Isabe and her child’s safety? Evelyn suddenly realized she truly didn’t know how to handle this situation.


    She thought about how good her parents had been to her, even sending her with arge batch of cookies to share with her friends. Shealso thought about how happy Isabe had been when talking about her daughter. She remembered the wonderful feeling when she had touched the clothes for Isabe’s daughter. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t harm these beautiful souls, otherwise, she would be a devil in hell.


    With that in mind, Evelyn took the medicine sachet out of her pocket and threw it into the trash.


    Evelyny down and took a nap. When she heard a knock at the door, she got up and opened it, seeing Isabe standing there with food and pills.


    “Isabe, you don’t need to bring me food. If I wanted to eat, I could go downstairs,” Evelyn said, surprised by Isabe’s gentle gaze, feeling a bit bewildered.


    Isabe smiled, “Evelyn, let me keep youpany.”


    Isabe brought the food into the room, cing it on the nearby table, and said to Evelyn, “Come on, eat. After that, take a stomach pill. It’s good for your body.”


    Not wanting to worry Isabe, Evelyn started eating. After finishing, Isabe asked Evelyn, “Evelyn, tell me, have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need my help?”


    She was very worried about Evelyn, and her condition had been off for these past few days…


    “I’m fine,” Evelyn immediately replied.


    “Is it William threatening you?” Isabe asked again.


    “No, I’ve blocked all his contacts. He can’t find me,” Evelyn denied immediately, even though at that moment, her heart was racing with worry, she still tried to hide herself and not let Isabe see any clues.


    Seeing Evelyn deny her spection, Isabe sighed, “Is it just a purely physical difort?”


    Evelyn nodded, “It might also be from the time I was confined to the apartment by William and haven’t been able to leave. I’ll slowly ovee it.”


    “Evelyn, don’t force yourself. We’re best friends, and I hope you can be a little better,” Isabe said.


    Evelyn smiled, “Don’t worry about me.”
