Chapter 722: Chapter 722: What Have You Done to Her?

Granny wrote: "Mr. Kingsley brought you here by boat, but it’s a five or six-hour walk to the river from here. Don’t bother looking for it; you won’t be able to find it."

Ivy Tanner smiled. "I came here with no intention of leaving. I’m tired, so I’m going to bed."

With that, she turned, climbed onto the bed, and lay down.

Granny sighed, shook her head, and walked out.

Ivy Tanner closed her eyes, plunging back into a dark, hopeless world.

’I’m in the mountains, and I have no survival experience. If I leave this cabin, it’s a death sentence.’

’Ethan Kingsley, do you really plan to just abandon me in a place like this forever?’

’If so, what about our child?’

’The baby is innocent. He’s innocent...’

「Quincy Manor.」

Mrs. Quincy’s return was a source of both joy and worry for Claire Sinclair.

The joy came from the fact that as soon as Mrs. Quincy’s health improved, she began doting on Claire as if she were her own daughter, allowing her to feel the warmth of a real family.

The worry stemmed from Mrs. Quincy constantly cooking all sorts of dishes for her. Before, her weight, baby included, had barely scraped past 110 pounds. But after just one short month under Mrs. Quincy’s care, it had ballooned to 121 pounds.

Her face was round, her waist was thick—she had really gained weight, so much so that she hardly dared to look in the mirror.

Meanwhile, Faye Dean was approaching her due date and had been admitted to the hospital with Helen Wallace to look after her. This was a great relief to Claire Sinclair. Her own belly was getting bigger, and with her unique circumstances, she couldn’t go to the hospital to care for her best friend. Knowing Helen was there to take care of her set her mind at ease.

However, there was one person she couldn’t stop worrying about.

That girl, Ivy Tanner, hadn’t called her in a long time.

Sensing something was amiss, Claire Sinclair decided to call Lucas Rhodes.

The call connected instantly, but it wasn’t Lucas Rhodes who picked up; it was Ayla Ryan.

Ayla Ryan said, "Miss Sinclair, Mr. Rhodes was in a severe car accident. He’s in a deep coma, and we have no idea when he’ll wake up. Third Miss Tanner went to find Ethan Kingsley and has yet to return."

Claire Sinclair was stunned. "When did this happen?" she asked urgently.

Ayla Ryan recalled for a moment before answering, "Three days ago."

"Three days? Why didn’t you tell me sooner!"

"Miss Sinclair, with what happened to Mr. Rhodes, I really haven’t had the bandwidth to worry about Third Miss Tanner. From here on, I’ll have to leave her to you. My boss is tired. He needs his rest."

Claire Sinclair felt a pang of guilt. "I’m sorry, I was just overwrought. Please, focus on taking care of Mr. Rhodes. I’ll handle things with Ivy."

"Alright. Goodbye." Ayla Ryan was the first to hang up.

Claire Sinclair thought for a moment, then opened WeChat to message Theo Rhodes: "You brat, why didn’t you tell me your uncle was in a car accident?"

Theo Rhodes: "What? He was in an accident? Is it serious?"

Claire: "..."

Theo Rhodes: "I’m on a business trip, Mentor."

Claire: "Never mind. Just focus on your work."

Claire Sinclair closed WeChat and immediately called Ethan Kingsley. The call connected instantly.

Before she could speak, Ethan Kingsley beat her to it. "Claire Sinclair, are you looking for my Little Cutie?"

"What have you done to her?"

"Heh..." Ethan Kingsley chuckled. "Little Cutie is mine. I’ve merely taken her back. So, from now on, Star Reporter Sinclair doesn’t need to concern herself with my Little Cutie. I will take good care of her... for the rest of her life."

CLICK. The line went dead.

Claire Sinclair’s eyebrow twitched. ’What was with his creepy, mocking tone just now?’

’He took Ivy back with him... She’s alright, isn’t she?’

’She should be fine. As bad as Ethan Kingsley is, he wouldn’t go so far as to actually kill Ivy.’

’If he wanted to kill her, he would have done so long ago, right?’
