Chapter 161 - Gone (2/2)

Gripping on her phone tightly, her nail scratched against her phone case. ”At the end, you betrayed my trust.”

”Ariana, calm down. It's bad for the child if you put so much pressure on yourself.” Chen Nan tried loosening her tensed shoulders.

”Who said I'm not calm?” She looked up at him with darkened eyes filled with disappointment.

Everyone kept quiet as they didn't know how to respond to her. Observing the faces around the room, she sighed and pressed a few buttons on her phone. ”Here, it looks like he is on his way back to the underground tunnel.”

”What?” Their eyes focused on the blinking green dot on her phone screen.

”When did you put a tracker on him?” Chen Nan wanted to praise his wife for her intelligence.

”When I went to visit him. Nobody, including him, found out my fast hand movement. I hid the tracker on his clothes.”

”Ah...and I thought you really stumbled on your way out of the room.” Chen Nan recalled how she tripped slightly with her hand slapping flat on the clothes.

”It's a mini pin that matches the color of the clothes. He probably wouldn't realize it.” She said as she watched the green dot on her phone move.

”But if he doesn't change into the clothes, then your efforts would've gone to waste.” Grandpa Xia said as he worriedly stared at her.

”Nope. Knowing him, he would only trust his own clothes. I have a request.” She stood up and bowed.

”If it is a request to go back there, then I object. You're with child right now. That isn't a suitable place to be in.” Grandpa Xia strictly rejected.

”I can't let Chen Nan fight alone. I know this is a selfish request, but I have to. I could wait for the results for the pill to come out. I could wait for the antidote for Qian Ling. I really want to know who is behind my family's torture and my wrecked childhood. I really want to know why Alexander would betray my trust and once again go back to that dog hole!” Her palms slammed on the wooden surface.

Chen Nan felt the negativity she was emitting and rubbed her arms to control her temper. ”Shh, shhh. Calm down. Calm down.”

Grandpa Xia sighed, ”Even if you don't think about yourself, then what about your child? You can't risk it.”

Facing another rejection, her head lowered to her tummy. Caressing her barely noticeable bump, she said, ”Even if I stay here the amount of pressure won't reduce. It'll still be bad for the baby. If either way I'll get stressed out, then I'd rather choose a more meaningful way to stress myself out. At least I can be with my husband through life and death.”

Chen Nan sighed deeply and looked around at the disapproving looks, ”Ariana, are you sure about this?”

”Absolutely.” Her eyes locked onto his with no signs of hesitation.

”Okay. I'll let her come with me and protect her with my life if I have to. She's right. If stress is bad for her pregnancy anyways, then she would probably feel more at ease by my side. This time, you must listen to my words and not repeat what you did last time. Understand?”

Processing his words in a serious tone, her shoulders finally relaxed. She smiled, ”Yes.”

Chen Mu reminded them that it would be a while before they could figure out what's in the pill. In other words, they still have some time to provide her enough nutrients to replenish her energy. they would also prepare supplement pills for her. Hearing their decision, Grandpa Xia couldn't help but turn a blind eye to it.
