Chapter 1214: Chapter 1186 She's in Trouble (Monthly Ticket 1900+ Update) Chapter 1214: Chapter 1186 She's in Trouble (Monthly Ticket 1900+ Update) “`
“Her?” Mario Yuno had been busy with work these past few days, staying outside all the time, and he wasn't really clear about domestic matters.
“Shouldn't Grace Bradford be in prison? Why are you asking about her?”
The more he thought about it, the more something felt off. “Daughter-in-law, where are you?”
“I'm at the market mall now, getting ready to leave.”
Kiara was about to hang up the phone when Kiara's mother snatched it away, clamouring.
“Edward, when you come back, come straight to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Mum's really scared. We need to take Kiara for a checkup to see if the baby was hurt.”
Kiara had just been moved by the old lady, but now, seeing her talk this way, the feeling was gone.
This old lady, scaring Camden for what!
“Mum, what exactly happened to Kiara?!” Camden was indeed frightened.
“There was a stampede incident at the market mall just now, many have been carried out, and your daughter-in-law was right there. I'm about to take her to the hospital. Although she looks fine, I'm not at ease. I need to rush her to get checked, you come directly to the hospital when you're back.”
Mario Yuno felt like his soul was about to fly away with fear. “Is she okay? Is she hurt?”
“She's not hurt, but a woman pregnant shouldn't be shocked. I have to take her to see the doctor immediately.”
Kiara's mother said only half, and the phone ran out of battery, leaving Mario unsure how much he heard.
“Mum! Why are you scaring him! I'm fine, aren't I?” Kiara felt sorry for her man and borrowed Giorno's phone to call back, but Mario's line was busy.
He was probably instructing work; he seemed ready to rush over to check on his daughter-in-law.
“How did I scare him?! The incident just now was so dangerous! When I think about how he's protecting others every day yet my daughter faced such a big danger, I feel so indignant! I have to make him worry about you, or else wouldn't he think you're just enjoying your time at home? From now on, he has to keep my daughter in mind, know he owes her, only then will he treat you well!” Kiara's mother was adamant in her reasoning.
Now that she wasn't scared anymore, all she wanted was to vent her emotions. Although her son-in-law was innocent, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Not coming back for New Year's, and when the daughter-in-law faced danger, others had to rescue her!
“He's already good enough to me as it is, Mum, really…” Kiara tried calling several times but couldn't get through, so she sent a text message to tell him she was all right.
“What about me! All I know is my daughter is more important than anything! Let's go, we're going to the hospital for a check-up!”
“Isn't that unnecessary? I'm fine, aren't I?” Kiara felt her mother was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Nothing's wrong with a checkup! Being pregnant and getting a fright is no small matter, listen to me, you won't regret it! Later, I'll go to the temple grounds and get you a charm for a safe pregnancy to bring back.”
Kiara's mother was now acting with the mentality that it was better to cast a wide net and focus on fishing – better to err on the side of caution than miss something crucial.
“Kiara, listen to Auntie Grutt, today's incident was really close,” Giorno also advised Kiara to get checked.
She had no way to deal with her mother. Superstitious and loudmouthed, but her concern for Kiara was genuine. Thinking about how her mother had looked for her frantically as if mad, Kiara simply didn't say anything more.
Grace Bradford had taken advantage of the chaos to get out of the market mall, got into the car waiting for her, and just as she settled in, she received a call from Luke Green 'Green Boa'.
“Didn't I tell you to place an indescribable bomb in the mall? Why didn't you do it?”
According to the plan, Grace Bradford and those who came to pick her up were supposed to tamper with the elevator first and then take advantage of the commotion to plant the device. When the police and ambulances arrived, they would detonate it, creating major news.
“`
But now the operation had failed.
“If you don't want to let it go, then don't.” Grace Bradford had intended to release it, but when she saw Kiara there too, she threw caution to the wind and went to rescue Kiara.
“Do you have any idea what you're doing? If you don't make some noise to divert their attention, what will you do if they catch up with you? We barely got you out, and it'll be trouble for us if you get caught again!”
“I'm going to leave the city right away, they won't catch me.”
“Heh, I know without you saying it, the reason you went soft this time is because of that psychologist, isn't it?”
Grace Bradford stopped talking, but she heard Green Boa's unnaturally eerie voice on the other end.
“The thing you should avoid the most in our business is being soft-hearted. To stop that psychologist from ruining your plans further, I've already arranged an escape route for you.”
“What are you going to do to Emma Clark?!” Grace Bradford gasped, fearing that Green Boa was planning to have someone lay hands on Kiara.
“Don't you worry about that, she'll soon be joining your father in heaven.”
Upon hearing Green Boa say this, Grace Bradford deduced that he must have sent someone to ambush Kiara; no wonder one of the companions who had escaped with her was missing. They must have taken orders from Green Boa to set up the ambush on Kiara.
“Turn around, I have to go back!” Grace Bradford, worried that Kiara, a woman alone, was no match for Green Boa's men, wanted to rush back to save Kiara.
Inside, she had already received news of her father's death. In her grief, and worried about his funeral arrangements, she had immediately visited her father's grave after being rescued and inquired about the funeral details. Knowing that Kiara had done everything well, she was extremely grateful.
Putting aside their differing stances and those background reasons, just considering the age-defying friendship between her and Kiara, Grace Bradford couldn't stand the thought of Kiara falling into Green Boa's hands.
“Didn't you hear me? I said turn around!” Grace Bradford realized the car wasn't stopping; it was actually speeding up, so she angrily questioned the driver, her companion.
“I'm sorry, Miss Fernandez…” The subordinate sitting beside her, who was also Grace Bradford's confidant, suddenly reached out and chopped forcefully at her neck. Grace Bradford passed out instantly, and as she fell, she heard her confidant's guilty voice.
“Miss Fernandez, rest easy and sleep. When you wake up, we'll be out of the city.”
Grace Bradford, preoccupied with thoughts of Kiara, was already powerless to change the course of events, slumping softly onto the cushion.
Meanwhile, Kiara and Kiara's mother were still unaware that danger was closing in on them step by step, as Giorno drove them toward the hospital.
When they reached the junction, a long truck suddenly drove in front of them, blocking the entire road.
Giorno had no choice but to stop the car, hoping to wait for the truck to move so they could continue, but the truck seemed to have broken down, standing motionless in the middle of the road. After waiting 2 minutes and still no movement, with the cars behind them honking continuously and unable to turn around, Giorno said,
“I'll get out and see what's going on.” He got out of the car and walked toward the large truck, wanting to see if the driver needed help.
Kiara hadn't been concerned at first, but when she saw two people get down from the truck and tie up Giorno right away, her eyes instantly widened with shock.
“Kiara, what's happening?!” Kiara's mother had never seen such a situation.
After tying up Giorno, those people headed straight for their car.
By then, Kiara knew that driving away was impossible; first, because Giorno was in their hands and second, because her own car was blocked from the front and back, making escape impossible.
Seeing those people holding iron bars, Kiara understood.
She had gotten into trouble.
