Ch. 2481..2490
Chapter 2481 "There's another thing... she is already..."
Before the doctor finished his words, Yvonne, who was on the hospital bed, suddenly woke up. She suddenly opened her tired eyes, and when she saw Sabrina, tears instantly streamed down her face and drenched the bandage covering her face.
Yvonne's voice was so weak that it was barely audible. "S-Sabrina, is that...you?"
"It's me, Yvonne. It's me!" Sabrina was doing her best to hold her tears back.
"What happened to you, Sabrina? How did you get involved in a car accident? Why are you here in this small city in the south?
What the hell is going on? Who knocked you over?" Sabrina asked continuously. 1 Yvonne cries even harder. Her voice was very weak, but it was filled with hopelessness and sorrow. "Sabrina, I...was really too silly... My love... I've fallen in love with the wrong person, after all..."
"Why would you say that? what exactly happened?" Sabrina asked.
What exactly happened? Yvonne smiled miserably, what exactly happened was that her life seemed to have fallen from the peak of incomparable sweetness to tens of thousands of meters below a cliff in an instant. Yvonne thought that everything related to the Shaw family had been resolved. She and Marcus' parents had reconciled with each other, and Marcus even planned to have a special birthday party for her. Because of that, Marcus even made a special trip to Zoshinton to pick out a gift for her. Marcus wanted to tell her what the gift was, but Yvonne chose to not find out beforehand because she wanted to give herself a surprise on her birthday.
However, last night, a company that made custom jewelry in this small city suddenly gave her a call and told her, "Your lover has ordered a ring with a gemstone for you. He had told US your size, but when we were making it, we realized that there has to be a certain allowance when the gemstone is being set in place. We have never met you, Missus Shaw, so we need you to make a trip here in person. We want to personally measure your finger."
"Wow, a ring with a gemstone?" Girls loved gemstones by nature. Marcus often gave all sorts of gemstones to Yvonne as gifts, but would still feel surprised.
"Yes, Missus Shaw," said the person on the other end of the call, " Can you come over in person? This way, this ring with gemstone would be made with even more precision. I won't tell your husband. By the time he put the ring on you and saw that it fits so well, he would certainly be very happy."
"Yes, yes, yes!" said Yvonne immediately. She indeed wanted very much for Marcus to give her a surprise, but she also wanted to surprise Marcus as well. Would that not be even more fun?
With great excitement, Yvonne took an overnight train and came to the small city. She spent an entire night on the train, but she was still very excited when she got off the train. As soon as came out of the train station, Yvonne called the jewelry store. The person from the jewelry store told her to wait at a certain place and they would send a special car to pick her up.
It was when Yvonne was waiting at that designated place for the special car to pick her up that she received a call from Sabrina, she was very happy, but she did not tell Sabrina why she came to the small city at the border of South City. She was thinking that when the time came, and she would be wearing the prettiest ring with a gemstone, she would want to show it off to Sabrina and Ruth.
However, as soon as her call with Sabrina ended, she saw a sturdy and speeding car coming at her from the front and knocking her away.
Yvonne had only seen the feeling of being knocked away on television. However, at that moment, she also felt the feeling of being knocked away. It was a feeling like her soul had left her body. She felt like she was light and floating as if she was having a fever, and also as if she was in a dream. At the same time, that feeling was incredibly real. That was because she was in pain.
Not only was she feeling pain in a physical sense, but she was also in pain in a psychological sense.
That was because right at the moment when Yvonne was knocked over and flew off the ground, she clearly saw that the person who drove the car into her was actually Marcus.
The person was her lover, whom she had loved for almost eight years, Marcus Shaw.
"S-Sabrina... I...W3S miserably fooled...by your cousin...," Yvonne mumbled weakly.
Chapter 2482 Sabrina absolutely could not believe it. She wanted to ask, 'My cousin? Are you talking about Marcus?' However, after Yvonne finished her words, she went unconscious again.
"She is too tired, she is severely injured and has just gone through an operation that lasted a few hours. Let her first take a rest,"
said a voice to Sabrina sternly.
Sabrina nodded. "Alright."
Yvonne was wheeled into ICU. Sabrina sat and waited outside. At that moment, Sabrina took out her phone and gave Marcus a call. On the other end of the call, Marcus answered very quickly," Sabrina, you've called a few times today. Tell me, is something up with you? Is there anything that I can help you with? If something is up, don't lie to me. I am your cousin."
Sabrina articulated every word. "Marcus, tell me, where are you now?"
Marcus found it very strange. "I am out of town. I'm about to return to South city."
"Which city are you in?" Sabrina asked again.
"Zoshington."
Sabrina was speechless.
"What's wrong, Sabrina?" Marcus asked as he was still confused.
"Marcus, can you...tell me how you...feel about Yvonne?" Sabrina asked again.
"What's wrong, Sabrina? What exactly happened? Is there still a need to ask how I feel about Yvonne? We've been together for almost seven years. I have never fooled around with other women during this whole time. Of course, my feelings for her are genuine. Why do you ask, Sabrina?" Marcus answers seriously.
At that moment, Sabrina did not know what to say anymore.
Yvonne was unconscious, and Sabrina was alone in that city. She could not even be certain if she was right in the middle of a dangerous situation. At that moment, for the sake of Yvonne and self-protection, it was best not to ask about anything.
"It's nothing, Marcus," said Sabrina.
"What exactly has happened? Could you tell me, Sabrina?" asked Marcus. However, the call was already ended by the person on the other end.
Marcus looked at his phone in confusion. A sense of foreboding suddenly emerged in him for some reason, without the slightest bit of hesitation, he called Sebastian. However, the Sebastian line was engaged on the other end of the call.
Sabrina was the one who had called Sebastian, she asked Sebastian not to tell Marcus anything because before Yvonne had become unconscious, she had told her that it was Marcus who knocked her over with a car. The matter was very fishy, but everything had to wait until Yvonne woke up.
After Sebastian received the call, he switched off his phone. He would not pick up any calls anymore, while he was on his way to the small city at the border in the south, he notified all of his men within the area to set up protection for the entire hospital. A few bodyguards had already arrived at Sabrina's side at the fastest speed possible.
Three hours later, Sebastian also arrived at Sabrina's side. Seeing Sabrina with a dry mouth and a pale face, and having no time to have anything to eat at all, Sebastian felt heartbroken, and he immediately embraced her.
"Yvonne...may be disfigured," said Sabrina with a hoarse voice. As soon as he said that, she burst out crying inconsolably.
Sebastian felt sad beyond measure.
Sabrina continued. "I don't know what the hell happened. Yvonne said it was Marcus who knocked her over, but my instinct is telling me that it shouldn't be him. I've already known Marcus for eight years. He is not that kind of person. But Yvonne really saw Marcus. What is going on? Was it one of the schemes that Yvonne and the Shaw family were caught in? Is it related to the Ford Group? If that's really the case, then I truly have failed Yvonne..." Sabrina sobbed.
Sabrina had hardly ever burst out crying like that.
Chapter 2483 Over the years, Sabrina had rarely ever cried. However, she cried so inconsolably for Yvonne this time.
Sebastian's face was covered with a thick layer of murderous aura! No matter who it was, once the truth had been found out by Sebastian, he was certainly going to go on a killing spree this time! Sebastian had not been so vicious for many years. However, his thirst for blood was awakened once again this time.
"Now is not the time to cry. We have to wait for Yvonne to wake up. " Sebastian comforted his wife.
Sabrina was still crying inconsolably. "Yvonne...what happens if Yvonne's face is disfigured?"
Sebastian shook his head. "She won't. She won't, Sabrina. Even if she is truly disfigured, I would also use all the medical technology in the whole world to restore her appearance."
Sabrina nodded heavily. Both of them looked toward the ICƯ together. Time passed so slowly. Both Sabrina and Sebastian did not sleep a wink for the entire night that night. They simply sat outside of the ICƯ waiting for Yvonne to wake up. At dawn, a doctor came over and said to Sabrina and Sebastian in surprise, " The patient has woken up. she is already awake."
Sabrina and Sebastian immediately sprung up with high spirits and looked eagerly toward the ICU. Not long after that, the door to the ICƯ was opened. Then, the Yvonne, who was bandaged all over, was wheeled out.
The doctor turned to Sabrina and Sebastian. "Are you the patient's family? Her vitals have already stabilized. She no longer needs to be in the ICU anymore, she can now be transferred to the normal ward."
"We want thehighest-end VIP ward!" Sebastian commanded with an urgent tone.
"Sure!" the doctor answered straightforwardly. "Please make the payment then."
The doctor has been highly tense since morning from the day before, at the most critical moment, the patient still has yet to make payment. From the perspective of the hospital, of course, it was the most important for the payment to be made.
Sabrina followed next to Yvonne's hospital bed and walked toward the VIP ward while Sebastian was responsible for making payment.
When they got to the ward, after all the arrangements were made, and when only Sabrina, Yvonne, and Sebastian were the only ones left in the ward, only then did Sabrina look at Yvonne, who looked dazed in both her eyes and asked, "Yvonne, are you awake now? Can you hear me, Yvonne?"
Yvonne looked upward with two vacant eyes as if they were frozen in place.
"Yvonne, good girl. Yvonne, if you can hear me speak, say something. You can also blink your eyes. Is everything you've told me before you became unconscious true? Yvonne, you have to tell me everything, only then I can know how to save you, what is going to happen next, and how to handle it?" Sabrina was both anxious and heartbroken.
She also did not dare to speak to Yvonne loudly, so she could only call out to Yvonne over and over again.
When Sabrina was already feeling hopeless from calling out to Yvonne, Yvonne suddenly spoke. Her voice was hoarse but was very firm, "Sabrina, do you...treat me as your friend?"
Sabrina nodded. "Of course! of course, I treat you as your friend!" 1 "Then can you do me a favor?" Yvonne asked.
"Even if you wanted me to do you ten favors, a hundred favors, a million favors, I will also do you, let alone do you a favor!" said Sabrina, and she started to cry.
"Tell me...am I disfigured?" asked Yvonne.
"The doctor said that there are no major problems. Even if you are truly disfigured, it also doesn't matter, Yvonne. I will exhaust every way to let you restore your beautiful appearance. Medical technology is so advanced in the world right now. We certainly will be able to let you be cured. Don't worry, Yvonne," Sabrina said honestly.
A smile appeared in Yvonne's eyes. "Thankyou, Sabrina."
"Don't be so polite to me, alright?" said Sabrina while feeling sorry.
"Sabrina, help me arrange for my parents to stay away from South City, and then let me go aboard as soon as possible. I don't even want to go back to South City anymore in this life."
"W-Why?" Sabrina asked.
"Because I hate Marcus Shaw." Yvonne said while clearly annunciating every word.
Chapter 2484 Sabrina said, "Yvonne, perhaps this is a misunderstanding?"
Yvonne shook her head. Her voice was very weak, hoarse, and hopeless. She also had a sense that she had seen through everything in life. "Sabrina, all this while, I had always admired you for being on the run for six years. I've admired you even more for never relying on your husband despite him being so powerful. Instead, choose to be self-reliant."
"What made me admired the most in the past was that Sebastian dotes on you so much, but you had never submitted to him. At this moment, I finally understood everything. You never wanted to be married into a wealthy family.
"That was because you had suffered enough hardships when you were living with the Lynn family during your childhood. The Lynn family was not considered a wealthy family, but they had already been filled with internal malicious conflicts to the point of plotting against one another? All wealthy families had always been despicable people since ancient times. I finally understood what that meant now."
After hearing Yvonne's sorrowful explanation, Sabrina was extremely saddened. "Yvonne, I feel this matter may be a misunderstanding. Marcus has loved you for almost eight years. You are his wife. How could he do that? what if what happened between the two of you is a setup, and both of you were used by someone?"
Sabrina truly did not want Yvonne and Marcus to be manipulated by others.
However, Yvonne smiled miserably. "Sabrina, I know you have good intentions and are trying to persuade me. I understand that.
However, even though he was once such a gentle and big-hearted person, I, a woman who had not even been his wife for more than five years, am just an outsider compared to his three brothers and his closest family."
"Besides, our family backgrounds are unmatched, to begin with. The Shaw family is a proper noble and wealthy family in South City, but the Yates family is just a commoner family."
"His three brothers don't like me. Marcus would hate me since I was the one who tore the Shaw family apart. He said he was buying me a birthday gift at Zoshington, when in fact, it was just an excuse to trick me into coming here. He was too ashamed to kill me with his car there because of his status and position in South city."
"He probably tricked me into coming to this small city at the border thousands of kilometers away from there, so it was hard for people to discover the truth. Haha! He really is so cruel. So cruel..."
Upon saying that, Yvonne's hoarse voice was choked up, and she could not continue speaking anymore. There was a huge lump in her throat, and she appeared to be incomparably in pain.
She was so in pain that Sabrina, who was next to her, did not know what to say.
After being choked up for a while, Yvonne smiled miserably and said, "Sabrina, do you know? I am in so much pain...that I don't want to live anymore. I feel that this world is truly too disgusting. It disgusted me till there was no reason for me to stay here anymore. I don't want to linger around anymore."
Sabrina's tears gushed down like the pouring rain when she heard that.
She understood Yvonne's state of mind incredibly well.
That was because she knew Yvonne too well. Yvonne was pure and innocent. She was already 30 years old but had lived a sweet and happy life since birth. She had her parents protecting her when she was a child, when she grew older, she had her cousin protecting her. After becoming friends with Sabrina and Ruth, they have also protected her. Later, in the few years that she had been dating Marcus, he was always the one that was protecting her.
Her world had always been innocent and pure.
Suddenly, she fell from that pure and innocent world of hers into a world where she was plotted against over and over again. How could the pure Yvonne accept that?
One step in front of another, she was already becoming slightly stronger and had already taken a huge leap.
However, she realized that this might also be a scheme. The scheme was first to gain her trust and make her strongly believe that Marcus was truly purchasing a birthday gift for her, then slowly trick her into coming to the small city down south.
Then, when she was in a foreign land, she would be killed by a car in one fell swoop.
That was truly extremely vicious!
"Yvonne, don't say that. We love you very much. You still have Ruth and me. You also have your parents." Originally, Sabrina wanted to persuade her and comfort her by telling her that she still had Marcus.
However, when she saw that Yvonne was so worked up, Sabrina did not dare mention his name anymore.
Chapter 2485 Yvonne shook her head once again with incredibly strong hate for the world." No, my parents would certainly be well taken care of by my cousin. I don't need to worry about them. Sabrina, I 'm so tired... II Sabrina was speechless.
Just when she was at a loss on how she should talk some sense into Yvonne, her phone rang.
Sabrina did not even look at it and answered it in a hurry, " Sebastian, are you done with the payment? Buy some supplements, and remember that it has to be something soft. Yvonne had just finished her operation and had gotten out of the danger, she can't have anything too hard. Hurry up!"
It was indeed because she was too anxious. On top of that, they were also in a foreign land, so Sabrina felt that the person who called her was Sebastian. 1 However, as soon as she finished her sentence, Marcus' incomparably calm voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. "Sabrina, what did you say just now? You said Yvonne is at the hospital and had just gotten out of danger. What do you mean? What happened to Yvonne? Hurry up and tell me!"
On the other end of the call, Marcus' voice was so anxious that it was as if he wanted to swallow someone whole.
Sabrina asked, "Marcus, is that you?"
Marcus burst out in anger and asked, "Hurry up and tell me what has happened to Yvonne?"
At this side of the call, Yvonne, lying in the hospital bed, was trembling. Her face was covered with bandages, but her painfully distorted expression could still be seen.
Yvonne breathed rapidly and heavily. "Sabrina, don't, Sabrina... If you are my friend, don't do this to me. Sabrina... I'm begging you, please... Sabrina!"
Sabrina glanced at Yvonne and then said to Marcus calmly, "I'm sorry, Marcus. There's nothing I can tell you!"
However, Marcus sneered at the other end of the call. "Sabrina, do you really think I am good for nothing? My power doesn't cover as much territory as your husband, but with my ability and the Shaw family's connections all over the country, it's not difficult for me to find my wife! I'm hanging up!"
Sabrina was speechless.
"What... What did he say?" Yvonne asked Sabrina weakly.
Sabrina shook her head. "Don't worry, Yvonne. I didn't tell Marcus that you're here. I've already ended the call, of course, he was a little furious...So, Yvonne, up until this point, I still feel Marcus is... II "Stop it! I don't want to hear it!" Yvonne almost lashed out.
"Alright! Alright. I won't talk about it anymore. I'll stop. Don't get worked up. Calm down. You had just gotten out of the critical care. You can't be so worked up. when Sebastian returns from buying you some food, I'll help you up, and we'll have a little bit of food together, alright?" Sabrina comforted Yvonne gently.
Yvonne nodded her head. "Alright."
Not long after that, Sebastian came back. They did not ask Sebastian to do anything, but he returned with food in both hands, and they were all highly nutritious soft foods.
Sabrina was the one who helped Yvonne up by carrying her and then fed her one bit after another.
Yvonne was incomparably obedient and very gentle. After she had something to eat, she fell asleep once again.
At that moment, Sebastian and Sabrina were already extremely sleepy. After all, they had not slept for one day, one night.
When they saw Yvonne was sound asleep, the couple sat on the couch in the VIP ward and took a short nap.
The short nap was fine, but when they woke up again, both Sabrina and Sebastian were stunned as they looked at the bed in the VIP ward. There was nothing there.
Where was Yvonne?
"Yvonne. Where's Yvonne?" Sabrina shouted as she went out to the corridor and asked every person that she met, "Have you seen Yvonne?"
Nobody did.
At that moment, a person suddenly came over from the end of the corridor. It was only after that person came closer that Sabrina and Sebastian recognized who it was.
That person was Marcus.
Marcus was truly resourceful. He was actually able to find that place.
"Where is Yvonne? How bad is her injury?" Marcus looked anxious.
However, Sabrina looked at Marcus with mixed feelings and said, " Yvonne.Js missing."
Chapter 2486 Marcus was stunned when he heard Sabrina.
After being stunned for a long while, he said to Sabrina with an extremely incredulous tone, "What... what did you say? what do you mean Yvonne is missing?"
Sabrina did not answer his question. Instead, she looked at him with a complicated expression. "Marcus, I want you to tell me the truth. It has already been so many years. Have you really treated me as your friend?"
"What friend?" Marcus answers with slight annoyance, "You're my cousin! Cousin! We're family. We're closer than friends.
Sabrina, I'm begging you, this is not the time for US to discuss our kinship. You have to tell me what happened to Yvonne. How come she is missing? What the hell happened to Yvonne? Are you trying to kill me with anxiety, Sabrina?"
Marcus had never been a person to burst out in anger like that. Sabrina also did not see the slightest bit of pretense in Marcus' expression.
In fact, Sabrina knew well that Marcus was never a person to play pretend.
However, the person Yvonne had seen knocking her over was clearly Marcus. She had been together with him for so long, so it was impossible for her to be mistaken.
However, that was not the time to discuss that at that moment.
The most important matter at that juncture was first to find Yvonne. She was still so weak, so how could she just go missing?
Sabrina looked at Marcus with a gloomy expression. "Marcus, I had just found out that Yvonne was missing as well. I am looking for her now. She was quite severely injured. Regardless if she had left on her own or taken away by someone else, this is a very dangerous matter for her because she still needs to be treated.
"I slept too soundly because I had not slept for two days and a night. However, I had only taken a very short nap. she shouldn't have gone far. Let's split up and look for her, alright? We'll talk after we find her."
At that juncture, Marcus also had no choice but to nod. Then, he rushed out at the speed of light and searched every corner of the hospital.
At the same time, Sebastian, who was behind Sabrina, made a call as well. "Check every entrance and exit of the entire city.
Don't miss any suspicious places. If you see any suspicious person holding a female patient appearing in the train station, airport, any cabs, private cars, and all kinds of vehicles leaving the city, stop them all. If anybody resisted, kill on sight!"
The man had not been so cold and vicious for many years. Even Sabrina, who was next to him, was frightened by the way he looked.
Sabrina grabbed Sebastian's arm. "Sebastian, what's the matter? You look so scary just now."
The man sneered. "Your husband has never been an easy person to mess with! It was because you and the children had calmed me that I restrained myself in the past few years. However, I can clearly feel that some unknown force is about to close in.
Sabrina, when it's necessary, I, your husband, will have a bloodbath. Are you afraid? Would you feel that your husband is very cruel?"
Sabrina shook her head. "No! There's an ancient saying, once married, one should stay together with their partner in weal and woe. Since 1 am married to you, I will not be afraid no matter what you are. I will be together with you forever, and that'll never change in life and even after death!"
The man immediately pulled Sabrina into his embrace.
Sabrina, however, was extremely guilty. "Sebastian, we have to hurry up and find Yvonne."
Sebastian immediately nodded. "Alright!"
Just when they were about to split up to search, a doctor hurriedly ran over with a piece of paper in his hand.
Not only was that paper wrinkled, but it also had a little bit of blood on it.
There were also some words that were messy and weak beyond measure and also looked deformed on that piece of paper.
Even though the words were unformed and looked so weak, Sabrina still recognized that it was Yvonne's handwriting at a glance.
Yvonne's usual handwriting was very similar to her, so her handwriting was very playful. However, at that moment, the playful words looked so weak and hopeless.
That letter read, 'Sabrina, I'm leaving. Don't look for me. It doesn't matter if I am alive or dead anymore. I once unintentionally saw some philosophers' quotes, and most of them said something like, Everybody is born to suffer in this world. I didn't believe it in the past. I felt that those were just pretentious words, and they were just making a fuss about nothing and being show-offs.'
Chapter 2487 ’Because I have never suffered in my life. However, I believe it now.' 'Not only have I not suffered in the thirty years of my life, but I've tasted too much sweetness. Ever since my childhood, I've always been the apple of my parents, my uncle and aunt, and also my cousin's eye.' ‘My parents, uncle, and aunt would buy me exquisite birthday gifts every year. Later, after my cousin grew up and started working, he would buy me birthday gifts as well.' 'It was smooth sailing for my college days as well. Later on, I started working, and everything was smooth in my job as well. I've never even had any obstacles.' 'Sabrina, do you know why I liked you so much the first time I laid eyes on you and then decided to be friends with you?' 'That's because when I first met you, I was particularly attracted to that melancholic temperament you had on you. It was because I had never suffered in my life before. Your melancholic temperament made me feel that it was a kind of beauty that was stunning.' 'There were many times where I particularly wanted to be a person like you. However, I never had such good training, and I could never become a person like you, so I could only be friends with you. I 'However, at this moment, I finally understood that any kind of melancholic beauty comes with a price. Also, this price is incredibly heavy. It's so heavy that it makes you unable to let out a smile. All you feel deep down is just endless pain and sorrow.
Only then could you exude that kind of melancholic beauty.' 'It turns out that the beauty of melancholy is only for people on the outside. The pain that the person who exudes the beauty of melancholy had to endure is something that people on the outside could never feel.' 'Sabrina, I've never felt that kind of pain until I am thirty. I don't want that kind of melancholic beauty anymore. I want my life to keep being sweet. I really can't take all these blows that suddenly came one after another. You can say that I am a coward. It doesn't matter whatever you say about me.' 'I can endure the matters regarding my parents back then. I can endure the unfair treatment that the entire Shaw family has given me. I can even be like you and endure all hardships. It doesn't matter to me if my life is poorer.' 'However, Sabrina, I really, truly, absolutely, can't endure Marcus betraying me.' 'He showed me how brutal he was to me. I can't accept that. Maybe I am born weak and am a person who can't suffer a single blow. I don't have a mind as strong as yours to endure the repeated storm and remain standing. I can't do it. Sabrina, I can't do it.
'I never want to endure that kind of melancholic beauty that is traded with painful and sorrowful blows that make life a living hell anymore. I don't ever want it anymore.' 'If time can stop at this moment, I would be thankful to God. Therefore, Sabrina, I have chosen to escape.' 'Where I am alive or dead, it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to escape. Don’t look for me anymore. You'll never be able to find me. As for my parents, my cousin will certainly take good care of them forme.' 'I'm leaving, Sabrina. Thank you for all the love you have given me for so many years. See you no more...' After reading the letter, Sabrina's tears gushed down her cheeks.
From the letter, Sabrina could tell Yvonne's will to escape and her weariness of life.
She did not even know if she should go looking for Yvonne anymore. She felt it would also be quite good to let Yvonne live her life and not force her. 1 "Forget it." Sabrina sighed and said, "Don't put her in a difficult position..."
The doctor next to her said solemnly, "Missus Ford, I have to tell you about something."
1 Sabrina raised her head to look at the doctor, "what?" "Yvonne is...pregnant with twins," said the doctor.
Chapter 2488 Yvonne was pregnant?
Sabrina was stunned when she heard that.
She was so shocked that she could not speak for a long while.
Yvonne had always rejected the idea of having a child. Just recently, she was willing to try for a child, but she was already pregnant with twins. How delightful must she be?
However, Yvonne's whereabouts were unknown at that moment.
"How come you didn't tell me earlier that she is pregnant?" Sabrina grabbed the doctor and glared at him with her eyes filled with rage.
The doctor said helplessly, "I wanted to tell you yesterday. Just as Ĩ was about to say it, the patient woke up. Both of you were in a hurry to speak to the patient, so I didn't get to finish my sentence."
Sabrina suddenly remembered it.
The doctor indeed had something to tell her yesterday, but she cut him off before he finished his sentence.
At that moment, what would be the point of blaming the doctor?
He was only responsible for treating and saving the patient. He would involve himself in the grudges in their family. Sabrina released his hands, sighed, and then sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry."
The doctor did not intend to blame Sabrina as well. Instead, he nodded and left.
Sabrina held Yvonne's pregnancy test results in her hand and kept making phone calls together with Sebastian. They were notifying Sebastian’s subordinates and asking them to strengthen their search in every corner. Even a hole the size of an ant should not be spared.
However, it was as if Yvonne had vanished into thin air. Sabrina, Sebastian, and Marcus had searched the city for seven days, but they could not find any traces of her.
Just like that, they had no news on whether Yvonne was alive or dead.
In those seven days, Yvonne's parents had no clue about Yvonne's situation. Her father, Vincent, had called Marcus as well.
Every time he called, he said to Marcus gently, "Marcus, you guys had encountered too many things a while ago. Both of you must have been in a difficult position to have suddenly experienced so many obstacles. Everything is good now. Everything is already in the past. Both of you can just enjoy yourself out there. There's no need to come back in a hurry.
"Marcus, just keep Yvonne accompanied. This daughter of mine has been spoiled by US since childhood and has never suffered any hardships, so you have to tolerate her more. Also, protect her."
From Mister Yates' tone, it was very clear that he still did not know what Yvonne was missing.
Marcus also dared not tell his father-in-law about it.
Even Sabrina also hid it from Mister Yates as if she had Marcus had a mutual agreement.
However, in just a few days, Marcus became so thin that he looked out of shape. His beard had grown so long, and his face just looked like a mess. However, he did not care at all.
After searching for Yvonne for seven days with no result, Sabrina knocked on Marcus' door, and she unexpectedly realized that not only did Marcus have a disheveled appearance, but he was only wearing one sock while wearing nothing on the other foot.
He did not even put on shoes and greeted Sabrina.
At first, Sabrina was only surprised by his lack of care for his appearance. After she entered the door, she smelled the pungent odor lingering in the air. There was the smelliness of alcohol and also a faint odor of smelly socks.
Only then did Sabrina realize it was not that Marcus was so careless that he only put on a sock on one foot while letting the other foot be bare. Rather, he may not have taken off the clothes that he was wearing the day before and started drowning himself in alcohol.
Sabrina suddenly had tears welled up in her eyes.
He certainly was not pretending.
"Marcus!" Sabrina shouted, "You can't continue being dejected like that!"
Marcus glanced at Sabrina miserably. It was as if he did not even have the strength to speak anymore. "Sabrina, tell me, if Yvonne is not in my life anymore, then what's the point of me being alive by myself? Why am I still alive? How can Yvonne be so cruel to leave while carrying my children in her belly? How am I supposed to live? Sabrina, tell me, how am I supposed to live?"
Marcus suddenly cried.
Marcus was a big man and the fourth young master of the Shaw family who had always been so well-manner. He just cried so inconsolably in front of Sabrina. Those sobs were incomparably sorrowful.
Chapter 2489 Sabrina could not help but weep silently.
Sabrina said to Marcus in tears, "Marcus, what exactly is going on? Yvonne said she saw that the person driving toward her was indeed you. She would not have suddenly disappeared when she was severely injured and pregnant if she weren't sure it was you."
"In the past few days, all the news that Sebastian's subordinates sent back from every corner of the city was that they did not discover any suspicious person holding Yvonne hostage. That means it was Yvonne who had run away from the hospital herself.
"She did not want to see you. she was actually so deeply saddened that she didn't even notify her own parents. You could never imagine how this sudden drastic change and the feeling of her most beloved man wanting her dead made her feel. Do you know that, Marcus?"
“Sabrina!" Marcus suddenly grabbed Sabrina's shoulders. "Tell me, Sabrina, is Yvonne... already dead?"
Sabrina's heart suddenly sank.
Would Yvonne have already died? otherwise, how come they still could not find her after seven days?
However, after giving it a second thought, she comforted herself and Marcus by saying, "No! she won't, Marcus, she won’t be! If she had truly died, with the forces you and Sebastian had placed all over this city to search for her, we certainly would be able to find her body. However, we still haven't found anything, have we?"
Marcus grabbed his hair with both hands and shouted hysterically, "Yvonne! Where are you, Yvonne? Yvonne..."
Sabrina patted his back and said calmly, "Marcus, the most important thing now is for US to find the reason. Perhaps once we've found the reason, we will be able to find Yvonne. You were seen in the car, so what exactly is going on?"
This was a difficult mystery to solve.
Yvonne had seen with her own eyes that it was Marcus.
However, judging from how Marcus acted, it did not seem it was him who had done it. There must be something fishy in this.
Marcus lifted his tearful eyes and looked at Sabrina. "Sabrina, I don't know who that person is, but that certainly isn't me. I was at Zoshington. I can get my hands on the video evidence that I was at Zoshington. I also have witnesses. How could that person be me? I love Yvonne so much, so how could it be me? I can immediately provide you with my alibi!"
Sabrina's eyes lit up. She suddenly recalled the term 'evidence'.
Yes, evidence.
In modern society, surveillance videos are the most ironclad evidence.
Sabrina had seen that street where Yvonne was knocked over. It was not some remote street, so there certainly must be surveillance.
Sabrina immediately took out her phone and called Sebastian. " Sebastian, I suddenly thought of something. That street where Yvonne was knocked over definitely has surveillance. Think of a way to pull up the surveillance footage. We'll zoom in and get someone to identify the person. We must see who exactly that person is. I am absolutely certain that that is definitely not Marcus!
It definitely isn't him!"
As soon as she said that, Sebastian said, "Sabrina, I am right outside the door to Marcus' room. I have already gotten the surveillance video. Come get the door for me."
Sabrina immediately opened the door.
Marcus was also so excited that he went from being dejected to highly spirited. He grabbed Sebastian's arm and said, "Sebastian, where is the video? show it to me."
Marcus shook his head with regret. "Marcus, the person in the video is indeed you..."
Marcus immediately shouted, "Impossible! I want to see it with my own eyes!"
When Sebastian played the surveillance video for Marcus, Marcus was stunned.
Who could it be if the man sitting in the car that knocked Yvonne over was not Marcus?
Chapter 2490 "How can it be me?" Marcus kept muttering.
Sabrina and Sebastian, who were next to him, stayed silent for a very long time.
Seeing that Marcus had been muttering to himself for a few minutes, Sabrina could not help but raise her head and look at Sebastian. "Sebastian, has it been identified by a professional?"
Sebastian shook his head. "The standards of the local technology could only identify that it was Marcus."
"Do you believe it's Marcus?" Sabrina asked.
Sebastian shook his head. "Of course, I don't."
He had never believed that it was Marcus since the very beginning.
Also, he was certain that there was a bigger plot behind this matter. It was just that he had come to this city to visit Yvonne with Sabrina, so he had not had the time to find out the result of the investigation in South City. However, even if Sebastian were not around, his men in South City would also do their best with the investigation since he had already given his orders.
He believed that there would certainly be results.
Marcus grabbed Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, you don't believe it's me as well, right?"
Sebastian sighed and said, "Marcus, I will send people to search for Yvonne. As long as she is still alive, sooner or later, I will find her, just like Sabrina. I spent six years looking for her, and I found her in the end. I will do my very best to help you look for Yvonne." There were still too many things that he could not be certain of, so Sebastian did not say too much at that moment.
He just comforted Marcus and said, "Marcus, let's first head back to South City. I'll have my men look for Yvonne here."
"Thank you, Sebastian," Marcus thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
The Shaw family was considered to have quite an empire in South City, but when it came to Marcus' generation, he was unable to compete with Sebastian. However, Sebastian has always taken great care of the Shaw family.
Marcus' grandfather's funeral was taken care of by Sebastian alone.
At that moment, it was Sebastian and Sabrina calling the shots again.
Marcus had indescribable gratitude for them.
"Sebastian, I will remember the kindness you've shown me for life, regardless if Yvonne could be found or not," Marcus told Sebastian sincerely.
"Let's first head back to South city." Sebastian patted Marcus' shoulder.
He was unable to tell Marcus about his suspicions and his investigation. If there truly were a force that was targeting the Ford Group and even Sebastian himself, then the Shaw family would have become a shield that would die for him.
Alternatively, perhaps that force was trying to drive a wedge between the Ford family and the Shaw family?
Sebastian could not be certain at that moment.
However, whichever way it was, the Shaw family was too pitiful. Yvonne was even more pitiful.
The hostility pent up in Sebastian grew stronger and stronger.
Once he has found out everything about that force, he would kill them on sight without hesitation and at all costs.
He had to kill them without any mercy.
After all of them returned to South City, every one of them was feeling troubled by the things on their minds. That was particularly so for Marcus.
Losing Yvonne was equivalent to losing his life, even more when he found out Yvonne was pregnant with his children.
The entire Shaw family was in a state of immense grief, and Marcus ' parents were in tears every day.
However, the most miserable one was not the Shaw family but the Yates family.
Mister and Missus Yates only had one daughter, Yvonne, when they heard such tragic news, both of them were immediately hospitalized.
They had lived such incredibly peaceful lives for 30 years. They had never wanted to live a life with great wealth. They only wanted to be able to live a happy life and spend the remaining years of their lives in peace.
However, everything in the world was just so unpredictable.
Just like what people had often said, people were born to suffer.
However, the couple had already suffered so much, so why should their daughter continue experiencing the same kind of suffering? Why did they have to bear the pain of losing their daughter at the age of 50?
