Chapter 240 Have You Given Birth?
In the morning. Gerald had come to record Yuliana’s statement and returned the phone to her.
It was because the police had managed to track the location of Yuliana’s phone that they got there in time. The
police took the phone, regarded it as evidence, and examined it. After confirming that there was no useful
information, they then handed it back to Yuliana.
However, the screen on the top left of the phone was broken, and the corner of the phone was also somewhat
dented and deformed.
After Yuliana had gotten her phone back, she clicked on it twice, but the screen didn’t respond to her touch. She
pressed and held the power button for a while, and a battery indicator icon appeared on the screen.
Christopher took the charger and charged the phone.
After turning on the phone, Yuliana checked her messages on WhatsApp immediately. There were many messages
from her school colleagues, including the principal, Fiona, Albert, who worked collaboratively together with her, and
Spencer. Even Ariel, who was in the same office as her, had also texted her.
However, most of the messages were sent by some students’ parents, most of which were greetings, and some
had asked her when she could go back to school to teach the students.
Yuliana couldn’t reply to all of them. She contacted the principal first to discuss the following arrangements.
Given her current situation, there was no way she could go back to school. Besides, she would definitely need more
energy to take care of Rowan since he had been born prematurely.
Cooper told her to take care of her health. The school had arranged for another teacher to take over her class and
explain to the parents.
After that, she replied to her colleagues, who had sent greetings to her, to express her gratitude.
After replying to the messages, Yuliana was about to put down her phone and rest, but then, it rang.
It was a call from Xandria.
Yuliana answered the call. Before Yuliana could say anything, she heard Xandria say nervously, “Yuliana, I heard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat you have been kidnapped. Are you okay?”
That night, the Solace family used a lot of connections to search for Yuliana in the whole city. Even though the
Solace family had reminded people not to cause an uproar, there were still too many people who knew about it, so
it was inevitable that the information had leaked out.
Xandria, on the other hand, had just seen it in the chat group. There were dozens of people in the group. The one
who had mentioned it was a guy from a rich family. He had relatives working at the police station, so he knew about
it.
As soon as he said that, the others chimed in and echoed what the man had said.
They were discussing it enthusiastically.
Xandria had just woken up when she saw the messages in the chat group. She was stunned and immediately called
Yuliana.
Yuliana was stunned for a while. For an instant, she had no idea how to answer Xandria’s question. If Yuliana said
she was fine, that didn’t seem to be the case. After all, she had gone into premature labor due to that incident, and
Rowan was still in the incubator. Furthermore, she hadn’t gotten a chance to see her son yet.
However, Yuliana was afraid that Xandria would be worried if the former mentioned that she was not doing well. In
fact, she was grateful that the incident had ended up that way. At least, Rowan was safely born, and she had also
managed to stay alive.
In the end, Yuliana replied, “I’m in the hospital. Do you want to come over?”
Upon hearing Yuliana’s voice, Xandria finally felt relieved. “Which hospital? I’ll be right there!”
Yuliana then told Xandria the location of the hospital.
More than an hour later, Xandria arrived at the hospital with Raymond.
“Yuliana, are you okay?” As soon as Xandria came in, she went straight to Yuliana.
Christopher stepped forward to stop her. “Stay away from her.”
Xandria was about to lose her temper. However, when she met Christopher’s cold eyes, she instantly got scared. “I
just want to see if she’s hurt.”
Christopher glanced at her and reminded her again, “Don’t touch her!”
Xandria pouted and whispered, “Fine, then. I won’t touch her. I just want to have a look at her, okay?”
Upon hearing that, Christopher stood at the side and asked Xandria to come over.
Looking at the green marks on Yuliana’s face, Xandria subconsciously wanted to touch them. When her hand was
halfway toward Yuliana’s face, she suddenly recalled something. The woman then glanced at the person behind
her, and sure enough, a cold gaze immediately swept over her.
Xandria awkwardly withdrew her hand and asked, “Yuliana, n-are you okay?”
It took Xandria a long time to form the question as she didn’t know what to say. She wanted to ask Yuliana if she got
hurt, but when she saw Yuliana’s face, she knew that the latter must have been injured, and her other hand was still
wrapped with gauze.
Xandria’s eyes instantly turned red when she thought of that.
Upon seeing her cry, Yuliana hurriedly comforted her. “I’m fine here. It’s all right.”
Christopher looked at the smile on Yuliana’s face, and his gaze darkened. Saying nothing, he dragged Raymond out
of the ward.
Yuliana watched them leave and then looked at Xandria. Then, she reached out to hold Xandria’s hand and
remarked, “Don’t cry. I just gave birth. I don’t have the energy to comfort you.”
“Gave birth?”
Xandria furrowed her brows. She looked at Yuliana’s abdomen subconsciously. Although it was covered with a
blanket, she could tell that it was much flatter.
She asked in shock, “Have you given birth to the baby?”
Yuliana nodded. “Yeah.”
Xandria was confused in an instant. She had little to no knowledge about delivering a baby. However, if she
remembered correctly, Yuliana was only a few months pregnant. “Doesn’t the baby take ten months to be born?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe wondered.
“Where is the baby?”
Yuliana paused for a while. Her expression turned a little solemn. “The baby is in the neonatal ICU. He has to stay in
the incubator because it was a premature birth.”
It had almost been two days since Rowan was born. As a mother, she hadn’t gotten the chance to see the baby yet.
It took Xandria a while to digest the fact. She found it amazing. Although Xandria knew that Yuliana was pregnant
and would soon give birth to a baby, she still found it hard to process the fact.
After that, Xandria asked Yuliana about the kidnapping incident.
Yuliana then recounted the incident to Xandria briefly. “That’s it.”
After hearing that, Xandria frowned. “Well, did Margaret ask someone to kidnap you?”
Yuliana didn’t say anything.
Upon seeing her stay silent, Xandria continued to ask, “Do you also think there’s something wrong?”. Although
Margaret was arrogant, she didn’t have the guts to do something like kidnapping. If no one had backed her up and
given her the idea, there wouldn’t have been any way she would think of kidnapping someone, let alone do it.
She would, at most, go to Yuliana’s school and make a scene.
Upon recalling that, Yuliana realized that the ones who had kidnapped her were not ordinary gangsters. Judging
from the way they had spoken and the things she had managed to observe, she could tell that they didn’t seem like
average people.
From what she knew about Margaret, it was impossible for the woman to have contact with those people.
Meanwhile, Christopher dragged Raymond out of the ward.
Raymond looked puzzled. “Why did you drag me out? I haven’t greeted Ms. Livingstone yet!”
Christopher didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “I remember that your uncle is working at
the police station?”
Raymond was stunned for a moment. Raising his brows, he asked, “What?”
Christopher glanced at him coldly. “I need his help.”
Raymond immediately understood what Christopher meant. The former cleared his throat and said, “Don’t worry,
I’ll deal with this. I can assure you that the woman will receive excellent service over there.”
