In a daze, Tang Yu followed Miles back to his home in London. For some reason, she had been very tired recently.
She slept soundly and had long dreams.
She dreamed that Miles had become Tony Stark, and that she was his secretary. He was always on dangerous missions. Despite her trying to talk him out of it, he would go in the end.
On second thought, Stark and his secretary were never married. No, no, let's dream of something else.
Tang Yu dreamed of the fast and passionate Dominic. He married his beautiful wife and had children, leading a happy life.
In her half-dream, she seemed to hear a loud noise, but she did not care. She just reached out a hand as she hugged the burly figure next to her.
The next night, Tang Yu suddenly woke up and realized that she was hugging a pillow. There was no sign of Miles in the room.
"Miles?" She put on her slippers as she went downstairs to look for him.
Usually, the butler would turn on all the lights at night. The entire house would usually be brightly lit, but the hall downstairs was now pitch black.
"Jason? Lucy?"
Tang Yu quickly called Miles, but his phone couldn't be reached.
Oh no... Miles couldn't have been arrested by the police, right?
Her mind was a mess. How was she going to get to the police station? She had to make a call first to ask. Oh no, if Miles wasn't there, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?
Tang Yu hurriedly went back to her room to put on her clothes. Just as she was walking downstairs, she fell.
"Ah... My stomach hurts..." The pain was so bad that Tang Yu couldn't straighten her back. She gripped her phone tightly as she called Zhao Xiaofeng.
In the hospital, Tang Yu sat on a bench in the corridor with a blank look on her face. She was holding a report card in her hand.
Zhao Xiaofeng passed her a cup of hot water.
"Hey, future mother, drink more hot water."
"Huh?" Tang Yu looked at her in a daze.
"What's with that expression? You should be happy! If he knew that you were pregnant with his child, he would be so happy. Hurry up and call him!"
She lowered her head, her mood getting heavier.
She did not dare to tell Zhao Xiaofeng that Miles had disappeared and that they had lost contact.
Zhao Xiaofeng looked very happy, beaming as she said that their child would definitely be very good-looking.
"Is Miles on a business trip? How is he not home in the middle of the night?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked Tang Yu.
"..." She did not know how to answer.
Perhaps he would come back in the morning.
His phone probably was turned off because he was on an important mission.
Moreover, he had left without telling her anything. He was probably in a hurry when he left.
He would be back soon. Just as he always said, "Wait for me here obediently. I'll be back soon."
So, Tang Yu obediently returned to the villa they shared. The huge villa was empty now. Butler Jason, Aunt Susan, the maids... They were all gone, along with all of their daily necessities.
One day passed before the next, before the next. Soon, five days had passed, and there was still no news of Miles at all.
No one answered their phones.
There was only radio silence.
How could a good person disappear from the world?
The last bit of hope in Tang Yu's heart had finally been extinguished. She called Zhao Xiaofeng and said, "Can you help me buy some vegetables?"
For the baby in her stomach, she had to at least eat well.
Tang Yu finally decided to tell Zhao Xiaofeng what had happened over these past few days.
From the photos that Huo Jun had given her to Clark's sudden appearance. Of course, she did not mention Miles holding a gun in one hand and a bomb in the other.
"Xiaofeng... did Miles abandon me? Maybe he already eloped with Clark?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Zhao Xiaofeng hugged her."I heard that pregnant people tend to be sentimental. Can't you think of something better?"
"They've known each other for more than ten years while Miles and I had only known each other for a few months. His fiance came back knocking on his door. He was supposed to marry her instead..."
"So what if she's his fiance? You're his wife. There's a reason why he married you and stayed with you. Maybe he did not like that woman at all. He sacrificed so much for you, and even risked his life to save you at the ocean aquarium. Isn't that enough?"
"Hmm... then why doesn't he come back and contact me?" Tang Yu blinked innocently.
Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't answer either.
Technology now was so advanced. Coupled with the fact that Miles was an IT expert, why couldn't he contact Tang Yu?
Unless he didn't want to...
Zhao Xiaofeng still had to work, so she couldn't stay with Tang Yu all the time. She repeatedly reminded her to take care of the fetus by resting at home, and not to run around.
The next second, Tang Yu left with a bag.
