Chapter 160
After searching all three floors of the warehouse, the bodyguards still couldn’t find Jessica.
Finally, a bodyguard spotted a manhole cover. He notified Brian on the walkie–talkie,” manhole here. Ms. Xenos may be inside.”
“Mr. Folos
Foley, there is a
At Brian’s order, the manhole cover was opened. Some light came from below.
With a look from Brian, several bodyguards climbed down the stairs. Jessica lay unconscious in the
basement while Charlie was nowhere to be seen.
*Mr. Foley, Ms. Xenos is here but not Charlie,” a bodyguard shouted from below.
Brian glanced at Stella. “I’ll go down and take a look. You wait here.”
“Okay.” Stella nodded.
Brian called a few bodyguards to surround Stella before heading to the basement for Jessica.
Jessica was unconscious, her face dirty. Brian was worried about her baby and patted her face. “Jessica!
Jessica!”
Jessica opened her eyes in a daze. Upon seeing Brian, she pounced on him in fear.
“Brian, I’m so scared! Charlie kidnapped me. I thought I would never see you again.” She hugged him
tightly, trembling all over.
Brian tried to pull her away, but she refused to let go. He had no choice but to carry her out of the
basement with a cold face.
From above, Stella saw Brian picking Jessica up. Watching Jessica nestle in Brian’s embrace like a frightened bunny, she suddenly felt jealous.
On the way back, Jessica kept holding Brian tightly. Her eyes were red. “Brian, I was really scared just now. I was afraid Charlie would hurt our child.”
At this point, Jessica still called the child theirs. Stella glanced over.
“The child will be fine. We’re going to the hospital now. I’ll ask the doctor to examine you once we get
there,” Brian comforted Jessica gently.
Stella looked bitter. Brian cared about Jessica the same even though he knew her child wasn’t his.
She smiled self–deprecatingly with a lump in her throat. It turned out she had made a fool of herself.
Brian didn’t care whether the child in Jessica’s belly was his. He only cared about Jessica herself.
Arriving at the hospital, Brian carried Jessica out of the car. Stella watched as they walked away, her eyes blurry. Her heart was broken.
Mike came over from the side. “Mrs. Foley, Mr. Foley asked me to send you to
to the ward.”
Stella turned to return to the ward without saying a word. After checking on Jessica

Seeing as Jessica was fine, Brian prepared to leave. Jessica immediatel

Brian asked the doctor solemnly, “Didn’t the checkup show she was fine? Why does she still have a
stomachache?”
“Ms. Xenos may have fetal motility. She should rest well in bed,” the doctor replied.
Jessica held Brian’s hand. “Brian, can you stay with me? I’m scared after what I just experienced.”
Eventually, Brian didn’t leave and stayed with her. Jessica closed her eyes, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
She knew Brian would be nervous as long as something happened to the child in her belly. It was because.

Stella returned to the ward and curled up in bed.
