“It’s already 8 p.m. If we wait until we get there and finish the exams, won’t it be past midnight?”
Dawn hadn’t pulled an all–nighter in ages.
“How about we head back today and do it tomorrow instead?”
“No!”

Jennifer’s sudden intensity was unexpected. When she noticed Dawn’s puzzled look, she smiled lightly and exined, “You see, it wasn’t easy for me to even remember this today. What if I put it off until tomorrow and forget again?
“Besides, Ms. West… we’re already on the way. Let’s not waste any more time.”
Putting it that way, it almost made sense.
Dawn opened her phone and sent Micah a text, letting him know she’d probably be home veryte tonight and not to wait up.
Every little movended in Jennifer’s eyes, and the corner of her mouth lifted almost imperceptibly. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and picked up speed.
“Hey, something’s not right.”
Not far behind, one of the bodyguards frowned hard.
The colleague in the driver’s seat stared at the car ahead. “What’s not right?”
“This is the road out of the city. Isn’t that woman Mrs. Jackson’s subordinate? Where’s she taking Mrs. Jackson?”
The man took a closer look. It really was.
Not just out of the city.
He’d driven this area countless times and knew the routes well. Go this way, and there were barely any residents left. It was practically the middle of nowhere.
“There’s only an abandoned vi district out there. Years ago, a nearby factory had severe heavy metal contamination, and everyone was relocated… Why would Mrs. Jackson be going there?”

“Should we report this to Mr. Jackson?
“Wait”
The bodyguard driving sped up and quickly noticed something else that felt off
“Don’t you think that car is strange<i>?</i><i>” </i>
“That van?”
It was strange. It stayed neither too close nor too far behind Dawn’s car. It had chances to pass, but never did. It looked like it was doing exactly what they were<i>. </i>
“Nope… This is way off. Call Mr. Jackson. Now<i>” </i>
The bodyguard in the passenger seat went serious at once and pulled out his phone.
When the phone rang, Ethan was still at the office. Everyone else had already left. The darkened workspace felt like a sealed beast, ready to leap out and devour someone at <b>any </b>
moment.
He answered as he walked out, his expression steady.
“Mr. Jackson, something’s wrong!”
Ethan stopped short, his low voice cutting through the air. “Talk.”
“Mrs. Jackson’s been taken out of the city by her subordinate. We also noticed someone following them. It doesn’t feel right.”
Ethan broke into a fast stride, his voice cold. “Stay on them. Share your location with me.”
The sky grew heavier by the minute, thick gray fog rolling in as if ushering in a storm. Dawn watched the scenery outside grew more and more deste and frowned. “Jennifer, are you sure the doctor would be set up in a ce like this?”
“Of course.”
Jennifer nced at the rearview mirror. “Ms. West, don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.”
Dawn narrowed her eyes slightly. From her angle, she couldn’t see Jennifer’s expression. For a split second, Dawn even felt that Jennifer’s shoulders looked almost like a man’s.
“I’m not going. Turn the car around. Now.”

Her voice was cold, but Jenniferughed.
“Ms. West, are you joking? We’re almost there already… and the steering wheel is in my hands. You saying ‘turn around‘ doesn’t really do much, does it?”
The suspicion in Dawn’s mind sharpened into rity. Without a word, she reached into her bag for her phone, her gaze fixed on the woman ahead. “So what you’re saying is, you’re taking me there no matter what?”
“Yes.”
At this point, there was nothing left to hide.
Jennifer let out a theatrical sigh. “My dear Ms. West, I don’t want to do this either. But with your status, being pregnant is a huge taboo. I’m helping you.”
Dawn’s heart dropped hard. “What exactly are you trying to do?”
“Do you really want me to spell it out?”
The woman’s voice still carried a smile, sweet and eerie, like a whisper from hell. “The child in your belly is a problem. I’m helping you get rid of the problem.”
Dawn’s breathing grew heavier, her face turning deathly pale.
She had to admit it. Tonight, she’d let her guard down. She’d gotten into Jennifer’s car without thinking twice… <i>This </i><i>woman </i><i>works </i><i>for </i><i>Vincent</i><i>. </i><i>Is </i><i>this </i><i>his </i><i>doing</i><i>? </i>
Dawn shut her eyes tightly for a moment and said nothing more.
Whatever she said now wouldn’t change anything.
Judging from the route they’d taken, they should already be on the national highway outside the east side of the city.
Where exactly was Jennifer taking her?
She didn’t know.
Dawn’s thoughts raced, but her hands didn’t stop moving. She quietly silenced her phone. Maybe it didn’t mute all the way, but that didn’t matter anymore.
Guided by instinct, she opened the dial pad. Her eyes flicked downward at an angle as she pressed a number without hesitation.

“Jennifer.”
She spoke slowly, forcing calm into her voice, though it trembled ever so slightly.
