The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 493 Autumn's Disappearance

"What's happening?" Anthony anxiously asked and took Autumn in his arms. He quickly realized that it

was not time to figure out what was going on. The priority was to keep Autumn alive.

"Help my unborn baby, Anthony…" Autumn pleaded in a weak and shaky voice, as she gripped

Anthony's clothes.

"Baby?" Anthony murmured to himself with a confused expression. As soon as he noticed the blood on

the ground, he thought that Autumn had lost her babies.

Autumn struggled to nod at him. "Yes, there is still one left."

"Don't worry about your baby," Anthony instinctively answered. "The most important thing is to save

your life."

"No..." Autumn uttered, as she reached out and grasped Anthony with her hand full of blood. Anthony

froze in shock to see her bloody hands. He could not believe his eyes.

Autumn looked so pale. Her eyes were full of frustration and desperation as if she was losing hope. "If

you have to choose between me and my baby, please keep the baby. I don't want to live anymore," she

desperately pleaded.

"What are you talking about?" Anthony exclaimed. Actually he was mad at himself. Anthony blamed

himself for what just happened. He stormed towards the entrance while enfolding Autumn in his arms.

"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. You'll be okay."

"Listen to me… keep the baby safe," Autumn insisted. "Please… Anthony. If I'm dead, help me raise

him, will you?" she pleaded.

"Don't say that!" Anthony answered. Anthony feared that he might lose Autumn any moment if she kept

exhausting her energy. To reassure her, he said,"I promise both you and your baby will be safe."

As an experienced doctor, he always kept his first aid kit in his trunk.

Judging by Autumn's condition, he was aware that he should waste no time. He grabbed his kit and

helped her to deliver the baby. He desperately wanted to fulfill his promise to Autumn.

After an intense labor, he felt relieved and said,"It's a baby girl!" Anthony exclaimed gladly, as he took

off his coat to wrap the baby in.

Autumn squeezed a smile on her face, and mumbled,"I'm so glad..."

"Your wound needs to be taken cared of. I'm taking you to the hospital," Anthony said.

Autumn shook her head adamantly. "Don't take me to the hospital. Don't contact anyone," she

demanded

She just wanted to stay alone. After saying this, she blacked out.

This once happy woman just lost her closest family member, got one of her children stolen and was

betrayed by her very own husband. Autumn couldn't take it anymore.

After some hesitation, Anthony followed Autumn's request and took her home.

As soon as they reached home, he dealt with Autumn's wound. He then took care of the baby and

placed the baby on his bed. Looking at the baby girl, he couldn't help but worry about his new

responsibilities.

He bought lots of baby milk and diapers he other day. As the child kept crying, he knew he had to feed

her and tuck her to sleep.

Autumn was sleeping soundly on the bed. Since she disappeared, Charles looked everywhere for her

in Y City.

"Mr. Lu, please eat something. Since Mrs. Lu disappeared, you haven't eaten anything or gotten any

sleep. If you continue to act like this, you'll get sick," Nancy pleaded.

"Get out of my sight!" Charles yelled at her angrily. He had put his guard on, unwilling to talk to Nancy,

not to anyone. He got so irritated with Nancy.

"Mr. Lu, I..." Nancy muttered, trying not to cry. Autumn left home three days ago. Since then, she had

never come back. The first day his wife disappeared, Charles had called up Isla. When he learned that

Isla didn't meet Autumn, he fell into a panic.

He then contacted Brent but no one answered.

No clue on Autumn's whereabouts until the police discovered Autumn's car and Brent's lifeless body by

the cliff. They also found a full bag of money.

The only good news was that Autumn wasn't there at the crash site.

The car was a total wreck. Charles had no idea what happened, but he had a hunch that Brent had

something to do with Autumn's disappearance.

"I feel sorry for what happened to Mrs. Lu, but you can't treat yourself like this. Otherwise, you'll

collapse sooner or later..." Nancy continued, expressing her deep concern. When she learned about

Brent's death, she was heart-broken. Compared to her grief for the loss of her son though, she felt

more sorry for Autumn and Charles.

Brent was just a driver. It was impossible for him to have a great deal of money.

There was only one explanation for it. He must have sold Autumn out.

Nancy was sad and ashamed. She had considered leaving the Lu family. But she gave up on that

thought and instead, waited for Autumn to come back.

If only Autumn would return safely, Nancy thought she could leave without any apprehensions.

"I asked you to leave! Haven't I made myself clear to you?" Charles howled at her furiously. Charles

had always been a reserved and calm man. It was the first time she had seen Charles got so furious

like this. Nancy had been working for the Lu family for years. Believing that she deserved Charles'

anger, she remained silent.

The Lu family helped them a lot over the years. The family treated Nancy and her son well, but they

only brought trouble in return.

She poisoned Autumn's food once and now her son was involved in her disappearance. She wouldn't

blame Charles even if he killed her.

With a wry smile, Nancy left the food tray on the table and returned to the kitchen quietly.

'I should have asked Brent to leave when I discovered him stealing things. None of this would have

happened, ' she blamed herself.

Knowing Autumn had an accident, Chris hurried to return from abroad.

Aron, Andy and Sam already used all their connections to search for Autumn, but they failed to locate

her.

Autumn vanished from the world without a trace.

After looking for Autumn for three long days, Charles was at the brink of losing hope.

Andy kept digging and finally found out that Ferry came back to Y City secretly about half a month ago,

before Autumn disappeared.

"What did you just say?" Charles asked, exasperated. He hadn't gotten any sleep for three days. He Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

grabbed Andy by his collar and berated,"You told me that you would keep an eye on Ferry, look what

you've done! Almost twenty days has passed, and you just found out about this?"
