His men replied, "Yes, Mr. Reid!"

Soon, the men came in with the doctors and nurses. It was a mess. Although Aaron was angry, he still took me out forcibly.

Back in my room, Aaron was sitting opposite me with a serious look on his face. His cool temperament made him look even more mysterious.

Probably because of a guilty conscience, I didn't dare to look at him.

After a long time, Aaron's gloomy voice finally shook the room.

"Arianna, what were you trying to do just now?"

I pursed my lips and lowered my head to fiddle with my fingers, pretending that I didn't hear anything.

Playing dumb was the most annoying to him. Aaron gnashed his teeth when he spoke again.

"Do you want that guy's life? Do you want to kill him?"

Having been seen through, I didn't care. I raised my head, looked at him firmly, and pointed my index finger to my heart. I barked, "Yes, I want him to die. I want him to feel my pain. What's wrong with that?" Even though he was the only one who knew where the child was, the moment I had stabbed him, I'd thought about ending everything.

Although this day was the first time I saw that bodyguard, and I had never done anything harmful to him, he'd taken great pains to steal my child. Even then, he still smiled with pride. How could I not hate him? Hearing this, Aaron took a deep breath and lowered his eyes. "It's easy to kill him, but what about the child? You don't want the child to come back?"

He paused for a moment and looked coldly ahead of him. His thin lips opened and closed. "Even if it's time to kill him, you're not the one who will do it. Don't dirty your hands. Remember, Arianna, these things are not what you should do."

A life for a life. Aaron certainly wouldn't let me take a life.

I knew he was doing this for my own good, but I couldn't listen to him at all. I shook my head and threw the images out of my mind. I changed the subject. "Have you investigated the background of the bodyguard? Are there any clues?"

Aaron shook his head but said nothing.

I understand. Aaron and Freya were very smart. If they really had a clue, they would have followed the clues and searched for another lead. They would not be like they were a moment ago, worrying about the kidnapper's life.

Knock, knock...

At this time, a servant knocked on the door. "Mr. and Miss Reid, Mr. Gavlin is here."

I was sighing in frustration, but at this moment, I bolted up and was about to run out.

I hadn't even gotten even with him yet, and yet this cunning old fox had delivered himself to my doorstep?

Aaron stepped forward and stretched out a hand to stop me. "Calm down, it's for the baby."

I frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded seriously.

After making sure I wouldn't lash out, Aaron took me downstairs.

In the living room, Eddison was drinking tea calmly. When he heard the footsteps, his expression changed as if he could empathize with our sadness. He frowned and said, "You're here." People who didn't know him might've thought he was the owner of this house.

It's no wonder that on the day of me giving birth, the high authority received a lot of reports, saying that Charles had abused his power. He was directly arrested in Ucrebury. Now, Charles and his men were still in cooperation with the investigation. Without him around, Eddison was arrogant. This was expected.
