Chapter 616 Shut Up Wretch

At the sound of Cecelia's desperate plea, Avery's heart skipped a beat. The oil pastel she held slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground.

Without pausing to retrieve it, she anxiously inquired, “Cecelia, where are you right now? What happened? Quickly send me your location!”

“I... I'm at...” Cecelia's voice sounded breathless, as if she had been running frantically on the road.

Before she could finish her sentence, a commanding female voice cut in, “Capture her! Even if you have to tie her up and take her to the hospital! Cecelia, if you obey and cooperate, I might spare one of those wretches. But if you dare to defy me, don't blame me for being ruthless!”

As Avery listened to the voice, it felt oddly familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't figure out who it was.

Just as she was about to inquire about the situation, she heard Cecelia's angry retort to the woman on the other end, “Griselda, my child hasn't reached the due date yet. Don't even dare to harm them. I will never sacrifice my baby's life to save your son, so abandon that idea right now. If you want to harm my child, you'll have to get rid of me first!”

“So, you've decided to take the difficult path, huh? Cecelia, whether you like it or not, you must agree. Your child's sole purpose of existence is to save my son's life! Bind her!” The woman ordered ruthlessly.

“Uh... mm...” Cecelia's distressed whimper could be heard from the other end of the line.

“Cecelia...” Avery longed for wings to fly instantly to Cecelia's side.

“Avery, listen,” Cecelia rushed to convey her message at lightning speed, “I am at Hyacinth Bay Hotel right now. Griselda is plotting to...”

Before she could finish, a loud bang echoed through the phone.

“Cecelia, Cecelia?” Avery anxiously redialed the number, but the line repeatedly indicated that the call couldn't get through.

Avery's heart was instantly consumed by a burning anxiety, sensing that something had gone wrong with Cecelia.

In the past, her impulsive nature might have driven her to rush off and find Cecelia without a second thought. However, after her near-death experience, she compelled herself to stay calm and composed.

“Mom, what happened to Ms. Zuckerberg?” Despite their young age, Zachary and Rory could sense from their mother's worried expression that something unfortunate had taken place.

“Something happened to Ms. Zuckerberg. Zach, why don't you take your sister and continue drawing? I will call Daddy right away.”

“Okay.” The two little ones dutifully settled down to resume their drawing without bothering her.

Avery stepped aside and promptly dialed Cayden's number.

Meanwhile, at Trident Group, Cayden was in the midst of a meeting with the company's executives when Avery's urgent call came through.

“Cayden, something terrible has happened to Cecelia! Griselda has kidnapped her and plans to extract bone marrow from her unborn child to save her own son. Can you determine their precise location?”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Cayden promptly adjourned the meeting. Maintaining a composed demeanor, he responded, “Avery, remain at home for the time being and avoid going anywhere. I'll take charge of this immediately. Once I locate Cecelia, you can join me then.”

“Yes, please hurry. Cecelia is in grave danger right now...” Avery responded with great concern.

“Alright.” After ending the call, Cayden's chilling gaze fixed upon Xavier's face.

Xavier, puzzled, lightly touched his own face and jokingly remarked, “Mr. Moore, why are you giving me that look? Is there something on my face? Did I grow a flower or something?”

Cayden conveyed with gravity, “Xavier, your ex-wife has forcefully abducted Cecelia. She plans to utilize her child's bone marrow to save your son's life...”

“Shit! Griselda, that insane woman! Mr. Moore, I must leave immediately...” Xavier slammed the documents in his hand onto the conference table and hurriedly rushed out without looking back.

His heart was torn between the desperate desire to save his son's life and the realization that the child in Cecelia's womb was also his own flesh and blood.

Cecelia's anger boiled over, and she cursed, “What nonsense are you spouting? This isn't your child, so it's easy for you to make such heartless statements! If it were your wife's child, due to be born in a month, but forced to be induced, would you be willing to accept it? That wicked woman, Griselda, even intends to extract my baby's bone marrow. Tell me, do you have any idea how excruciating a bone marrow extraction can be? It's unbearable for adults, let alone a fragile newborn!”

Cecelia's scolding left the doctor speechless.

He knew all too well that extracting bone marrow from a newborn was an incredibly risky and dangerous procedure, especially when the baby was to be forcibly induced.

Confronted with Cecelia's desperate and fearful expression, he couldn't bring himself to deceive her and claim that everything would be alright, as his conscience weighed heavily on him.

Griselda stood with her arms crossed, observing Cecelia sitting on the ground, throwing a tantrum. Her contempt for Cecelia had reached its zenith. “So, this is the woman Xavier fancies? You utter vulgarities and lack manners. He truly has deplorable taste, forsaking a refined lady like myself as his wife to entangle himself with common folk like you.”

Wearing a sneer, Cecelia retorted, “Heartless and selfish individuals like you and your ex-husband are two peas in a pod! Quite a fitting match, don't you think? Who gave you the authority to cause harm to others? Griselda, do you even realize that your actions are unlawful?”

Consumed by fury, Griselda lifted her hand and cruelly slapped Cecelia.

“Shut up, you despicable creature! If it weren't for your b*stard serving some purpose, I would have gotten rid of you long ago! How dare you challenge me, Griselda. You seem oblivious to the power of the Whitman family. Let me make it clear, even if I were to eliminate you and that illegitimate child within you today, I could still avoid any repercussions. Now, someone, proceed with her operation, without anesthesia...”

Griselda's powerful slap left Cecelia's head ringing, and blood trickled from the corners of her lips.

Still recovering from coughing up a mouthful of blood, she was quickly surrounded by several stern-faced doctors who escorted her forcefully toward the operating room.

“Let me go, Griselda! You'll face retribution. I curse you to suffer a dreadful fate!” Cecelia's heart trembled intensely.

Dragged forcibly into the operating room, Cecelia helplessly watched the door close, overwhelmed by a sense of panic and despair for the first time...
