Jane frowned. She had just arrived on the island by plane, and it was clear that there was no way to leave here except by boat or plane. Mike had cut off all her contact with the outside world.
Jane realized something was wrong as she walked around the villa and saw no electronic devices or even newspapers or televisions for external information. She felt isolated from the outside world.
Mike had put so much effort into moving her to this island just for pregnancy, but he didn’t leave any equipment for her.
Jane knew something wasn’t right, but with two servants watching her every move, she couldn’t say anything.
“This villa was bought by Mike specifically for you to have a peaceful pregnancy,” said one of the servants when they noticed Jane’s unease. “The scenery on this island is beautiful and perfect for pregnancy.”
Although Jane was unhappy about it, she still nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Patrick went to the hospital and found out that Jane had disappeared. He searched through their room but found that all of Jane’s belongings were gone too.
His heart started pounding as he wondered if Jane left because she knew something important. He quickly asked at reception where they told him that Jane checked out earlier in the morning and they didn’t know where she went after leaving.
Upon hearing this, Patrick frowned.
He picked up his phone and dialed Jane’s number, but it played the message that the phone was out of service area.
Patrick tried to maintain his composure and then went to his and Jane’s home. As expected, there was an envelope placed on top of it.
Patrick hurriedly opened it and saw Jane’s handwriting on it: “Don’t worry about me. Just now, the company received a big business deal, and I went abroad to negotiate. Trust me, I’m fine.”
Jane’s voice echoed in his ears, and Patrick let out a slow breath.
As long as Jane didn’t know about the pregnancy, everything would be fine.
Seeing this letter, Patrick believed it and went on to attend to his own matters.
Little did he know that this letter was written by someone sent by Mike.
Mike knew about Patrick’s feelings for Jane, and now that Jane was pregnant, if she suddenly disappeared, Patrick would search for her everywhere.
By giving Patrick accurate information about Jane, perhaps he wouldn’t be so anxious.
Although this method wasn’t sustainable, it could buy some time. When Jane’s belly grew larger and the risks of abortion increased, she might not be so determined to not have the child.
Mike closed his eyes. He looked at the surveillance in the villa, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Child, don’t blame me for being heartless. It’s just that your timing for this pregnancy is not right.
With Patrick’s matter resolved, Mike felt relieved for the most part.
Meanwhile, at the police station.
After several days, the police finally caught Fernando, who had been on the run.
The previous location was too remote, and after Fernando disappeared, the police searched for a long time but couldn’t find him.
He was too cunning, and with so many people present at the time, it was not easy to find Fernando amidst the chaotic atmosphere.
Now, after so many days, they finally rescued him from Fernando’s old home.
To evade pursuit by the police, Fernando deliberately grew a beard, behaving very strangely, and the neighbors thought he had gone mad.
But in fact, it was all to avoid being recognized by the authorities. After all, no one would believe that a madman would commit a crime.
The police almost let him go because of it, but eventually, they captured him.
Soon, Fernando was handcuffed and taken to the police station.
In a dark room, two chairs were placed, and Fernando was escorted there and seated, his handcuffs preventing him from moving.
Soon, the police opened the door and walked in.
Fernando squinted his eyes slightly, still somewhat unwilling.
If it weren’t for Isabella instigating him, he wouldn’t be in this situation now.
Soon, a light shone on Fernando’s face, and he narrowed his eyes. The police officer sat directly across from him.
“Fernando, you’ve put up quite a fight, escaping for so long.”
Fernando smirked contemptuously, not taking the police officer’s words seriously.
The police had interrogated many criminals, so it was normal for someone like Fernando to have such an expression and attitude.
“Tell me, what was your motive for this crime?”
“I’ve already said it. It was that shameless woman Isabella who asked me to kidnap Jane. Instead of going after her, you’re coming after me.”
The police officer raised an eyebrow. Isabella had been crying and claiming her innocence at the police station that day, and the statement was still in the police records. Unexpectedly, Fernando had a different version of events.
“Just because of a woman, you engaged in such foolish behavior, which does not constitute a motive for a crime,” the police officer said slowly, furrowing his brow.
“That’s the reason, whether you believe it or not,” Fernando replied.
“Is that so?”
The police officer smiled lightly and then placed a photo of Fernando’s mother in front of him. “Is this your mother?”
Fernando’s veins suddenly bulged. “What are you trying to do?”
Forced to infiltrate the underworld for these past years to protect his mother from any harm, Fernando had kept her hidden. Now, the police had managed to find her.
“As long as you tell the truth, I won’t do anything to her,” the police officer said.
The police were trained to handle situations like this and could manipulate the emotions of the suspect. In fact, they had never found any trace of Fernando’s mother.
However, they had to resort to such methods to make Fernando tell the truth.
Fernando let out a slow breath. For the sake of his mother, he couldn’t keep hiding those few people anymore.
“It was Jaiden,” Fernando directly implicated Jaiden. “He said he always hated Jane and wanted me to take care of her during this time.”
He bit his lip and didn’t reveal the person behind Jaiden.
To protect that person, he could only mention Jaiden now.
The police officer passed on Fernando’s statement to the officer waiting outside the room. “If only you had been this cooperative earlier, your mother wouldn’t have been involved.”
Fernando clenched his fist tightly, and then the police officer left the interrogation room without looking back.
Soon, the police located Jaiden’s residence and brought him back to the police station.
“Sir, you are suspected of being involved in a criminal act. Come with us,” the police said as they handcuffed Jaiden.
Jaiden was still a bit dazed. “What are you doing? What are you doing, officers? You’ve mistaken me for someone else, right?”
Jaiden struggled to break free, but with the number of police officers present, he was forcefully taken to the police car.
