Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 384 Cry for Help

Eva's eyes flashed with anger. "Are you threatening me?" she asked.

Michael adjusted her collar gently, his movements tender. "Eva, how could this be a threat? I'm just advising you. After all, I can't let bad people get close to you. I brought you out here, so I have to be responsible for your safety and keep others with ill intentions from harming you."

Although his words were clearly threatening, he spoke them with such affection. Eva couldn't help but feel a chill spreading down her back.

Being close to him felt like being close to an ice cellar.

"I never expected you to be this kind of person." she said, dropping her voice as she said those words. Eva spoke decisively, "Fine, if you're so worried about my intentions, then let her go. That way, I won't drag anyone else down in the future." Michael stood still and looked at her intently.

"It's not necessary, Eva. You can still have a meal together." he said.

"No, I've lost my appetite." Eva replied.

Next, Eva left the table and instead went to lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes, showing no intention of further communication.

The woman also stood up.

"I won't disturb you anymore. You two can talk."

After saying that, the woman turned to leave.

"Wait..." Michael called out to her.

Then Michael walked up to Eva and softly said as he looked at her closed eyes, "I'm sorry. I was too suspicious and shouldn't have doubted you. I was wrong about what happened earlier. Can you get up and eat with me?"

No matter how much he said or how gentle his tone was, Eva remained lying there like a corpse, refusing to pay him any attention.

"Eva?" he called again.

Eva continued to lie there motionless.

"Alternatively, should I carry you to the dining area?" he suggested.

Suddenly, Eva opened her eyes and met Michael's gaze, which was so close to hers. She was initially startled by his proximity, but she quickly calmed down.

"Is this the only trick you know?" she asked coldly.

Michael smirked. "It's not about quantity, but effectiveness."

Eva pushed him away with a cold face and sat up.

"I just want some peace and quiet. Since you're afraid of others getting close to me, take her away now and that way she can't cause any trouble." Eva demanded.

"I know she won't cause any trouble. Let her stay and have a meal with you. It's been a long time since you've eaten anything." Michael insisted.

"I'm not in the mood to eat now." Eva replied.

They repeated this exchange a few more times, with Eva refusing to compromise or even look at him. Frustrated, Michael had no choice but to leave with the female staff member.

Outside, perhaps because he looked so dejected, the female staff member took the initiative to comfort him. "Sir, don't be too upset about this. Your girlfriend probably just wants someone to accompany her for a meal. If you want to try make her happy, why not send her flowers and chocolates?"

Surprised by her suggestion, Michael forced a smile. "Hmm, thank you. I'll consider it."

As they had just walked out together, he didn't rush to go back inside straight away.

Feeling unsettled by her comment, Michael didn't inquire further. The woman could tell that he was upset and chose to leave without saying more.

After they all left, Eva quickly entered the restroom to try make a phone call.

If Michael decided to question the woman, it would take some time. Eva could only try to seek help within this limited time. As for the consequences... that wasn't something she could consider right now. Hesitating for two seconds, Eva dialed Adrian's number.

Eva was getting anxious. Why wasn't he picking up? There's a time difference between the two locations, with it being daytime here and nighttime there. Adrian wouldn't have put his phone on silent, right?

If it was on silent, she probably wouldn't be able to reach him.

Eva couldn't wait too long and miss her opportunity.

The first person who Eva contacted after Adrian was Emily.

When Emily received the unfamiliar call, she was extremely shocked to hear her best friend's voice on the other end.

"Eva? Did you change your phone? And why does your location seem different? Didn't you go back to America?"

It indeed was her best friend, and Emily quickly realized that something was wrong.

Eva interrupted her.

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say and don't interrupt me."

Eva rarely spoke in such a serious tone to her, and Emily immediately understood the severity of the situation, nodding seriously.

At the same time, she turned on the voice recording function on her phone, to ensure she wouldn't miss or forget any of Eva's words.

"Listen carefully. My current coordinates are in Australia, near the capital airport, at a high-end hotel that's about a twenty-minute drive away. There are two 24-hour convenience stores near the entrance, and I'm on the sixteenth floor. But I won't be staying here for long. There are two to three people guarding the entrance who might relocate at night, but I'll replace a way to stay here a bit longer. If I lose my ability to resist and get taken away, I'll replace another opportunity to contact you."

Upon hearing this, Emily was dumbfounded. Had she been kidnapped?

Coincidentally, her superior came over to replace her at this moment, but seeing her on the phone, he turned and decided to come back later.

Emily immediately called him over.

Nathan saw her gesture urgently and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"

Emily immediately put it on speakerphone and said to Eva, "Eva, I have the stingy... Mr. Powell here too. His mind works faster than mine, he'll probably be more helpful."

Nathan heard the word "stingy" from her, and based on the context, the phrase she almost said was probably "stingy person".

In fact, he had heard Emily refer to him as a stingy person more than once. The last time he heard it was when she complained to her best friend about being constantly called in to work, which led to her being single.

But he didn't expect her to accidentally blurt it out in front of him today.

Just as Nathan was about to correct her, another interruption startled them.

When called, Eva on the other end quickly repeated what she had said earlier.

Nathan's eyes narrowed as he listened, and he directly asked Eva, "Can you send your location?"

Although Eva had just received the number, registering an account was time-consuming if she wanted to add it.

"It's too soon. I had the SIM card brought to me by a server. I don't know when the other party will replace out."

Upon hearing this, Emily asked subconsciously, "The other party? Who is it?"

Eva pursed her lips.

"Here's what we'll do." Nathan calmly explained, "You plug in your earphones, or turn on the speaker."

Emily, shocked, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You stingy person! Are you crazy? Eva is clearly being kidnapped, and at a time like this, you want her to put it on speaker."

"Her voice is loud, so she should be temporarily safe." Nathan replied calmly, pretending not to hear that clear insult.

"That's true. Then do what the stingy person says."

Since she didn't have her earphones, she could only turn on the speaker.

"Now I'll ask you questions and you just answer. Register a new account while you're at it, and it would be best to send your location directly."

"Okay." Eva's mind was clear, and she quickly turned on the showerhead and faucet in the bathroom, locked the bathroom door, and then stood in a corner away from the door to start the process.

Nathan, as the founder of a self-made company, remained calm and rational. None of the questions he asked her were pointless. He took note of her movements from the place she departed to where she lost consciousness, including when she woke up, and instructed her on how to respond if she was discovered.
