Chapter 1073 - 1072: Go Find Them

But besides saying yes, what other choice do I have!

Julian Ford didn’t answer. He turned around, and when he reached the door, Serena Sullivan asked, "Where are you going?"

"The Imperial Capital!"

Julian replied, "Even though what she did this time really pissed me off, there’s no way I can just leave the two of them, mother and son."

He was going to the Imperial Capital to negotiate with Old Master Chambers.

After saying that, Julian left Willow Yarrow and walked out.

It was only now that Ethan Grant found out that Finn Chandler had teamed up with Serena and the others to drug Julian and knock him out.

He watched Julian walk away, then turned back to look at Serena, saying angrily, "You and Finn..."

"What about me and Finn?" Serena lifted her head, looking at him in confusion.

"How could Finn just leave Julian like that!"

Ethan didn’t dare bring Serena into it, so he changed it to talking about Finn.

"Little Bun is Julian’s too. She could’ve just laid it all out with him and talked through this plan."

"Leaving Julian alone like that—of course he’d be furious."

Even if Little Bun was rescued, Julian would still be very angry at Finn.

"Finn said she wanted to go to the Imperial Capital, and Julian tried to stop her. If she really told him she was going to trade herself for Little Bun, do you think Julian would agree?"

"Doesn’t this just prove that, in Julian’s heart, Finn matters the most?"

Ethan glanced at Serena, then lowered his gaze to her swollen belly.

"Serena, listen to me. If you ever stop caring about me because of the baby, I..."

"You what!" Serena shot back, "Ethan Grant, are you cursing me?"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and the tears spilling over made Ethan panic. He hurried to sit by the bed and took her hands.

"Serena, I’m not cursing you. I’m just scared you won’t love me anymore someday."

"Don’t cry, okay?"

Ever since she got pregnant, Serena’s temper had gotten a lot worse. Lying around in the room every day, cooped up like that, her mood was naturally gloomy.

After what happened with Little Bun these two days, she’d been worried sick. Even lying down to rest, she couldn’t sleep.

"Ethan, I’m scared!"

Serena cried as she threw herself into Ethan’s arms.

"I don’t want anything to happen to Little Bun, and I don’t want anything to happen to Finn either. I want all of us to be okay, can we?"

Even when she lost the use of her legs and was stuck in a wheelchair, her heart hadn’t felt this fragile.

Now she had a father, a husband, a child, and somehow she’d become more emotional.

"Okay."

Ethan looked at her sobbing in distress and gently wrapped his arms around her.

"Nothing’s going to happen. Don’t worry."

"I’ll be right here, staying with you."

"You’ll stay with me till we’re old?"

Serena looked at him through her tears.

"Yes."

Ethan answered solemnly, patting Serena’s heaving back. "Serena, hey, be good."

"Don’t cry anymore. Julian will definitely bring Finn and Little Bun back safe and sound."

"Mm, mm."

Comforted by Ethan, Serena’s mood eased a bit. She couldn’t bear to leave his arms and just wanted to stay there forever.

"Cough, cough!"

A sudden cough sounded from outside the bedroom door. Ethan and Serena both turned their heads and saw a servant standing at the door with Carter Lockwood.

"Carter?"

Serena was surprised this man had come.

"Is Anna here?"

Carter asked.

His voice was as flat as ever, but it was obvious his pace had quickened.

"Isn’t Anna at the hotel?"

Serena asked back, "The two of us left The Ford Family together, and she went straight back."

Carter shook his head at the door.

Serena froze for a second, then picked up her phone to call Anna Morgan, but no one answered.
