Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 729 Please Don't Hurt The Child

"You she-devil, you pinched me! My Dad won't let you go!" Jerry was in pain and fretful. He kept crying and cursing at her.

Lexie, however, had her excitement reaching its peak. Seeing the little boy writhing and making noises in her arms, not to mention how fun it was, she actually started gesticulating.

Perhaps because she had been confined in jail for too long that she was used to being beaten, scolded, and suppressed too much. At that moment, it was both novel and fun to see Jerry, who was weaker than her, struggling in her arms. Exerting her strength, she then pinched every part of Jerry's body. The more Jerry cried out, the more delighted she felt.

It wasn't until Jerry's sad and shrill cries rang out in the forest for a long time that the door was kicked open.

"Ah, don't hit me, don't steal my child." Lexie's expression changed when she heard the violent kicking sound from the door. She hurriedly held Jerry in her arms and cried out in a trembling voice.

Jerry had run out of strength from crying, so he could only stare blankly at the woman who came in with an even more ferocious expression. He didn't even bother to cry.

"Hmph, crazy woman, you think it's your child just because he's one? You're really shameless." Zoella was finally annoyed by Jerry's crying. So, she kicked open the door and walked in.

Just then, Calvin had already agreed to her request. She was really worried that this crazy woman would cause irreversible damage to Jerry. Then, it wouldn't be good for her negotiations. "Lexie, do you think a woman like you is qualified to give birth to a child?" Zoella's eyes were filled with a fierce glint, and she showed a mocking smile. She had already lost the ability to get pregnant. Seeing Lexie fantasize about having a child in such a deranged state, her heart was bursting with contempt and impatience. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of loss.

Lexie blinked her eyes and hugged Jerry even tighter. She cautiously said, "You're not allowed to snatch away my child. He's mine."

"Hmph." Zoella sneered. "With the ten million dollars you paid Bill Cole to get rid of the child in Belle's womb, you deserve to die ten thousand times over. How shameless you are to say that this child is yours." Speaking of this, she looked at Lexie with a disgusted expression and took out her cell phone.

In the living room of Fragrance Garden, after being rescued by the family doctor, Hudson's face was pale as he sat on the couch. He was in low spirits and Paige was holding a glass of water and feeding him medicine.

Belle was pacing around in the hall with an apprehensive look on her face.

Her ears seemed to be ringing with the miserable cries of Jerry calling out to her, and she felt her heart being slashed by a knife.

In a short while, she received a call from Calvin.

"Calvin, have you found Jerry?" Belle grabbed the phone and asked hopefully.

At the other end of the phone, after a suffocating silence, Calvin opened his mouth to speak. His voice was a little bitter and heavy.

"Belle, there's no need to go look and for Jerry. He's been kidnapped by Zoella, so you need to stay strong. Larry will be back soon. Don't tell this to Mom and Dad for the time being. I'll go to Zoella's to save Jerry right away. Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way to save our son."

Calvin had no choice but to tell her the truth. He would not be able to keep from her the fact that he did not have much confidence in what would happen next.

When Belle received the call, she felt a tumble in her stomach, and a bloody, metallic smell spilled out of her throat. Her eyesight darkened, and she hurriedly walked to the side to clutch on to the couch armrest.

"Belle, you must be strong. Trust me." After Calvin repeatedly told her, she finally put down the phone.

Belle stood still in a daze.

"Belle, how is it? Has Jerry been found?" After hearing Belle finish speaking, Paige immediately asked.

Belle held the armrest with cold sweat dripping from the corner of her forehead. She then closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and turned around after a long time.

"Dad, Mom, Jerry is fine. Calvin has already gone to pick him up. You can go and have a rest."

Her voice was steady. Although her cadence was trembling, she tried to hide it as much as possible. After that, she smiled slightly and walked upstairs, looking soulless. Leaning against the cold door, she could only picture Zoella's sinister smile in front of her.

Jerry, her poor Jerry, had fallen into the hands of such a vicious woman. The consequences were...

Tears poured down Belle's face like fallen beads from a broken string.

She clutched the door frame with her fingers.

Behind the door frame, Aunt Ella asked in a trembling voice, "Madam, is Jerry in danger?"

Belle's fingers were shaking so badly that her whole body was quivering as well.

"Madam, I know you're hiding the fact that Jerry has been kidnapped from Mr. Hudson and Madam Paige, right?" Aunt Ella asked grimly while tearing up.

"Aunt Ella." Belle turned around and replied tearfully, "You can't tell Madam Paige and Mr. Hudson about this. Don't make them worry."

Aunt Ella's face was terribly pale with tears. She consoled her. "Madam, don't worry. Your body is not yours alone. You should have faith in Mr. Calvin."

Aunt Ella, who had been very attentive, had noticed Belle's subtle expression when she was downstairs. She knew that Belle kept it from Hudson and Paige since she was afraid that they would be worried. However, she was concerned about Belle and immediately followed her upstairs. As she had expected, Jerry was indeed missing.

This was heart-wrenching news for her. She had long since regarded Jerry as her own grandson. Since Jerry had gone missing, she wouldn't feel better than anyone else. However, other than comforting Belle there was nothing else she could have done. She was so anxious, yet she couldn't reveal it.

She supported Belle to sit down on the couch and kept her company, sharing her tension and pain.

Both of them were teary-eyed and silent.

The phone suddenly rang after a while.

"Belle, how are you?" As soon as Belle picked up the phone, a cold and strange feminine voice came from the other end of the line. Belle was so scared that her whole body trembled and her face suddenly blanched.

This woman's voice was frosty and horrific. Obviously, it was not the voice of a normal person.

"Zoella, what are you trying to do? Give me back my child." Belle was petrified for only a second before she heard Zoella's voice and condemned angrily.

Zoella burst out laughing on the other side of the line.

"Now, Belle, don't be so worked up. Your child has been kidnapped by Lexie and has nothing to do with me. Whereas me, I'm here to pass along the news. Of course, if you do well accordingly, then I will save his life." Zoella looked at the sky with a strange expression and an exaggerated swagger. She switched her phone to the other hand with a faint smile.

Lexie? Belle felt needles pricking her heart when she heard this name. All of the memories that had been buried in her heart flooded back.

Did this woman get released from prison?

Naturally, she didn't believe that Lexie would come out to kidnap Jerry. She wasn't even done with her sentence. So, how could she have been released from prison? However, if she really did come out of prison, then there could only be one explanation to it. That was, Zoella had bailed her out, and then used her to kidnap Jerry. After all, right then the entire city was scattered with police hunting down Zoella. Thus, she couldn't show up easily.

"Zoella, no matter how much you hate me, the child is innocent. I beg you to let him go. Of course, I can give you any compensation, or charge at me with the hatred you harbour towards me, but please don't hurt the child." At that point, Belle knew that it was not wise to go against her. Therefore, she could only go along with her. For Jerry, not only dignity, she could practically discard just about anything.

Therefore, Belle begged Zoella in a humble voice on the phone.
