Chapter 294 Find Rocky

Lydia lay in the hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.

She cautiously glanced at Dalton's face before tentatively asking, "Dalton, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby. Are you happy about it?"

Dalton said coldly, "Just focus on getting better."

Seeing him turn to leave, Lydia panicked.

She grabbed his hand. "Dalton; are you really going to abandon me? I'm carrying your child. Can't you stay with me a little longer? I've just been through a kidnapping and a scare. Aren't you even a bit worried about me?" Dalton didn't respond. He loosened his tie and pulled his hand from Lydia's grasp.

His expression was chilly as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, his gaze indifferent. "I'm just going out for a smoke. I'll be back in a bit. I'm not going anywhere tonight."

Given the gravity of the situation, there was no reason for him to leave.

Lydia sighed with relief as she watched Dalton walk away.

She instinctively placed a hand on her abdomen.

She thought, "It seems having a child has indeed made a difference.

Even Dalton isn't immune to it."

She resolved to find ways to give Dalton more children and secure her place as his wife.

In the stairwell, Dalton puffed on a cigarette, occasionally taking drags.

He thought, "How did she end up pregnant?

We only had sex that one time, and under those circumstances... and now she's pregnant?

Right at the moment when I'm planning to get a divorce, Lydia's expecting.

What do I do now?"

He exhaled a plume of smoke, chain-smoking one cigarette after another.

He wasn't keen on continuing things with Lydia.

Dalton thought, "This child has come at the worst possible time.

And with everything that happened tonight, I wonder if Meryl ist okay?

Why didn't she come to the hospital?"

The doctor had mentioned that although Lydia had lost a lot of blood, bed rest offered a good chance to save the baby.

Soon, with half a pack of cigarettes smoked, Dalton picked up his phone and called Elias.

"Have you figured out who was behind the kidnapping? Who's the mastermind?"

"Harold confessed. He was in it for the money from kidnapping Meryl. Lydia was just a bonus he picked up along the way. He didn't know their identities before he acted."

Elias paused before continuing, "As for the second kidnapping, the suspect has fled. We don't have much information yet, except that the target was Chandler and Meryl got caught in the crossfire." Dalton's eyes widened in realization.

Chandler had made enemies during his time at the police

academy. It seemed like someone was targeting him through the people closest to him.

"Who tipped Harold off about the money from kidnapping Meryl?"

"Rocky," Elias replied.

The name irritated Dalton.

Three years ago, Rocky had admitted to sleeping with Meryl.

"Find Rocky. I want to see what he's up to!"

Dalton stayed at the hospital with Lydia all night, a rare show of

presence.

When Lydia woke up and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, she was both startled and pleased.

Just then, the doctor came in for rounds.

After a thorough examination, the doctor reassured Lydia, "After a full night of observation, there's been no more bleeding, which means the most dangerous period has passed. "However, we still need to be cautious. You're showing signs of a threatened miscarriage, so bed rest for at least another two weeks is necessary to ensure the baby's safety." Write your comment
