Chapter 149

Leanna felt that they had been going for a long time, and the car was getting even faster. The ride was

getting bumpy as well. She muttered, "Where are you taking me?"

A few moments later, Ron said grimly, "Nowhere."

Leanna froze for a moment, and she felt her blood run cold. "What do you mean?"

"Someone sabotaged the car. The brakes aren't working."

Leanna finally understood what Sienna had in mind. No wonder she warned me to keep my departure

a secret. No wonder I'm not allowed to tell anyone about this. So this is what she had in mind. If she

actually believed Sienna and left with her men, she and her baby would die, and none would be the

wiser. That was Sienna's real goal.

The car had come out of the mountain, and she heard the sounds of vehicles blaring around her.

She leaned against the seat and said, "You would have jumped out of the vehicle to escape if you were

alone, wouldn't you?"

Ron did not answer. He kept weaving through the traffic, trying to lead the car to a remote area.

Leanna was tired. "I think I know why you're here for me. You might not know this, but Queenie was

arrested yesterday. I'm surprised to know that you know her too." Zoe told her about it the night before.

Queenie and Ron were neighbors, and they grew up together. However, they stopped keeping in touch

after Queenie went overseas. Leanna neglected that for a long time, but Ron's appearance explained a

lot of stuff. He's probably behind the necklace's switcheroo during the banquet too.

Ron's veins popped. "I did that. It's not her fault."

"Just saying, but I can't really do anything to save her." She chuckled. "You're probably abducting me

for her, aren't you? Well, I'm gonna die anyway, so you can go home early today."

Ron gnashed his teeth. He was about to crash into a little girl, but he turned the steering wheel and

crashed into the trash can on the sidewalk.

The momentum slammed Leanna against the car. A frown furrowed her forehead. She was biting her

lip, but Ron still heard her gasp in pain.

He asked, "Are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine."

Ron turned around when they came to a quieter area, and he saw Leanna's dress drenched in blood.

He frowned. "You're bleeding."

Leanna said nothing. She knew what fate had in store for her. Maybe Aidan's right. I wanted the baby,

so I have to pay the price, no matter how steep it is. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed forward after all.

This is the price I have to pay. She regained a little of her strength a while later, and she said, "You

should escape now."

Ron said nothing.

Leanna said softly, "Don't give me the good guy act. I hate you. I hate your guts. I wouldn't have done

that if you hadn't taken my brother hostage." Her voice started to crack, but she held her emotions

back. "This is supposed to be a closed chapter of my life. I don't even know why I dragged it out for

three years. I've had enough."

She felt someone taking off the blindfold, and Ron tossed a small knife to her. "Cut the rope yourself."

Now that she could see again, Leanna realized how horrifying the bleeding was. I can't give up. I can't.

The baby needs me. The car was running a bit more stably now, and Leanna managed to take the

knife with just a bit of nudging. She started cutting through the rope. Fortunately, the knife was sharp

enough, and the rope was cut off just a while later.

Ron said, "I'll take you to the nearest hospital, but I don't know what will happen, so be prepared."

…

Jonathan and Aidan were in the black Rolls-Royce. "Got it, sir. The guy who took the madam away is

Ron. According to the surveillance camera's footage, his car's brakes are malfunctioning." Jonathan

whispered the last part out. The look on Aidan's face was terrifying. Jonathan received another call just

then, and he said, "Ron's driving to the hospital now, sir."

Aidan said, "Prepare the speed bumps and buffers."

"Yes, sir," Jonathan said, then he went to make the arrangements.

Aidan rolled the window down, his lips pursed. His jaw was tense, and in the rear-view mirror, Jonathan

could see that his hand was trembling.

…

Ron noticed that there was nobody outside the hospital, and the entrance was filled with speed bumps.

He said, "Sit tight." He drove over without hesitating.

Leanna was curled up in the corner. She bent over and tried her best to keep the baby safe, but she

could feel herself bleeding. Her head was drenched with sweat, and she clenched her fists. She held

on as Ron drove past every speed bump. In the end, they crashed into something, and all she could

see was darkness. Her ears buzzed, and someone seemed to be calling her name. It was a familiar

voice. She wanted to see who it was, but she could not open her eyes no matter what. Everything

turned black.

Aidan was outside the car, furious. Jonathan held him back. "We don't know if she's alright, sir. Just

wait for the doctor."

Aidan calmed down a little, but he clenched his fists, and the veins on his hands popped.

The doctor came forward quickly to check on Leanna, then he carefully took her out of the car. She and

Ron were both taken to the operating room.

Aidan stood outside. He opened his hands and looked at the blood on them. His heart felt like stopping

for a moment.

Jonathan had never seen him looking like that. He too was upset, so he murmured, "She'll be fine, sir."

Just then, it started to drizzle. A drop of rain fell onto his palm. He clenched it and whispered, "The

baby's really important to her." He looked up at Jonathan, fury burning within his eyes. "We must make

sure it's safe at all costs."

Jonathan said, "I've called the nation's best doctor. They are on their way and should be here any

minute."
