?<strong>Chapter 580:</strong>


    Kallie acted not convinced. “I don’t like him. I want him gone.”


    Griffin saw Ernesto’s firmness and stepped in, his face hardening. “Kallie, you’re in our territory now. You’ll do as we say. Understand?” he said, his voice low and threatening.


    Kallie nced at his icy stare, her face filled with fear. She quickly went quiet.


    Ernesto casually chimed in, “Hey, why are you speaking to Kallie that way? You’ll frighten her.”


    The coldness in Griffin’s eyes finally softened a bit. Kallie might have looked worried on the outside, but deep down, she was relieved. This meant they wouldn’t be suspicious of Jake for a little while, and that was a good thing. But this situation couldn’t go on forever. In the meantime, Jake had explored almost the entire ind.


    Jake described it as a natural prison. The ind wasn’t surrounded by Ernesto’s and Griffin’s men, but it was located far out in the ocean. Every ship that passed by belonged to the Perry family. Ernesto had even purchased arge area of the surrounding ocean.


    Jake and Kallie could escape the ind unnoticed, but figuring out how to cross the vast sea was their biggest challenge.


    Whenever they thought about this, Jake would reassure Kallie with signals, promising to find a way out soon.


    Kallie nodded, but she couldn’t shake off her worry and replied with signnguage. “There’s no need to rush. I’m five months pregnant, so we have plenty of time before the baby arrives. We’ll find an opportunity.”


    However, it didn’t take long for Kallie to understand how wrong she’d been.


    Griffin apanied Kallie to the ind’s hospital for a routine pregnancy check-up.


    The doctor delivered the news to Kallie that she was expecting twins.

    This revtion left Kallie speechless. Under different circumstances, this would have been a joyous asion. But in her current situation, this was far from good news. They were determined to keep her child, and they had always spoken as if there was only one. With twins on the way, if she couldn’t find a way to flee, what fate awaited the other baby?


    Kallie envisioned the worst possible oue. The reality of the situation seemed too much to bear. As she tried to stand, her head swam and a wave of dizziness washed over her. Her legs gave way, and she copsed unconscious.


    Kallie regained consciousness in a hospital bed, voices drifting in from outside the room.


    “Are you absolutely certain about the test results?” It was Griffin’s voice.


    “There’s no doubt about it. I confirmed it myself, she’s carrying a boy and a girl. Mr. Perry, why not keep both children? However, twin pregnanciese with their own set of challenges. One fetus can sometimes take nutrients from the other. In this case, I believe the girl will likely develop better, while the boy might be a bit weaker.”
