Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 405 Holding On
When Nathan mentioned nicknames, Emily felt extremely embarrassed. In the past, she used to call him that privately, but for some reason, she slipped up in front of him last time and even called him by that name.
Just the thought of that scene made Emily's scalp tingle.
However, Nathan didn't hold it against her, probably because of the circumstances. Now that he brought it up, it was truly embarrassing. Emily scratched her head and said, "I understand. I won't call you a miser from now on." "And no other nicknames either," Nathan added.
"Got it. Can we leave now?" Emily said.
With that, the car drove off, and Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the hotel, Eva continued walking forward with the two children, trying to head toward crowded places to avoid being caught.
Luckily, it wasn't too late, and there were still many pedestrians on the streets.
She blended in with the crowd, but it wasn't easy for them to replace a place for themselves.
Eva had a serious expression. She knew that she couldn't stay at a hotel anymore.
She initially thought that avoiding luxury accommodations would be enough, but Michael didn't even spare these ordinary hotels. But it made sense. When she left, she didn't have much money, and she didn't take the phone Michael gave her. She had to rely on David's money.
As for the phone call she made, she didn't know if Emily received it. After all, it was an unknown number. Could she guess that it was her making the call?
Moreover, when she left the hotel, the receptionist was there at the front desk. What if that person reset the phone before her call went through?
If that was the case, the situation would truly be terrible.
"Mummy, where are we going next?"
Eva glanced around and didn't know how to answer the question.
They couldn't stay at the hotel, and she couldn't think of anywhere else to go with her two kids.
The more she thought, the more agitated she felt.
Coincidentally, they passed by a supermarket, and without much thought, Eva led the children inside.
Once inside the supermarket, Eva realized it was particularly large.
She finally had a plan in mind. She smiled at the children and said, "How about we go upstairs and play games?"
They couldn't go back to the hotel. She could either wait for Emily to replace her or be found by Michael's people first.
If she were alone, Eva could have found a way to evade them, but it was inconvenient with two children. She couldn't afford to play this cat-and-mouse game of running away. She couldn't lead the children into danger, so she could only try to stick close to crowds and endure.
The arcade upstairs was crowded at the moment, so once they entered, the three of them quickly got lost in the crowd.
It would take some time for them to replace their way here. Eva didn't know if there was a phone available at the front desk.
As the children went to play, Eva glanced toward the direction of the front desk.
At that moment, a little girl walked toward them while talking on her phone. She seemed really annoyed. "Mom, I'll be back later. I'm already a grown-up. You don't have to worry about me." "Got it, got it."
The girl hung up the call impatiently.
Seeing that she was about to walk past her, Eva suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Hello."
The little girl was startled to see Eva. Her anger had subsided, and she looked at her with confusion. "Do you need something?"
Eva smiled gently. "Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl wrinkled her nose. "No, you all have your own phones, don't you? Are you trying to trick me?"
Indeed, it wasn't easy to borrow someone else's phone to make a call.
Eva bit her lip. She was about to explain when Ruby came forward and gently held the little girl's hand. "Hey, my mommy's phone was stolen by a thief, and we don't have any money. So we want to make a call to my daddy. He'll come pick us up."
Ruby's voice was soft, and she resembled a delicate doll. Her looks were appealing to people of all ages.
Eva had intended to speak, but seeing this scene, she stopped to observe. As expected, the little girl's eyes wavered after hearing Ruby's words. "Was your phone stolen? That's bad."
Ruby nodded tearfully. "So can you lend us your phone for a while? We'll give it back to you after making the call."
Eva watched as Ruby's tears fell like pearls, making her heart tremble. If she hadn't known that Ruby was an actress, she might have thought the little one was truly crying.
Under Ruby's persuasion, the little girl's heart softened. She looked at her phone before looking at Ruby again. "Well, alright, but you have to make the call in front of me. Don't go too far."
After saying that, the little girl handed her phone to Eva. Eva looked at the phone and quickly accepted it. "Thank you." She then dialed Emily's number.
Eva observed her surroundings as she waited for the other side to pick up. She was always on the lookout for any suspicious individuals.
The phone rang, and the other side picked up almost immediately. "Eva? Is that you?"
After several days, Emily finally heard Eva's voice again. She was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears, but Nathan signaled her to put it on speaker. Emily followed his instructions and put the call on speaker. Nathan asked Eva, "Where are you now? Do you have the coordinates?"
Eva wasn't surprised to hear Nathan's voice. She immediately stated her coordinates.
Meanwhile, Emily entered the coordinates and enlarged the map as Eva had suggested. "We're about an hour away from you." "One hour?"
"Yes, we're on our way toward you. Find a place to hide and try to hold on until we arrive."
His calm voice reassured Eva a lot. "Okay."
