"What are you talking about? You saw me as your ' late wife's best friend? 'all this year? please Bob i know you are angry just forgive me."
She moved closer to hold his sleeves but he shove her to the side. Betty lose her balance on the stairs when Bob pushed her before she knows it she saw herself rolling down the stair without stopping. She wince in pain when she landed on her face at the end of the stairs, she widened her eyes when she remembered the purpose of her argument with Bob in the first place.
". Bob !! My baby!". was all she manage to say when the pain hit her like volcano. She felt pain in her lower abdomen as she tried to sit up, she groan in serious pain . She look down only to see blood trickling down her fresh thigh, her lower abdomen seems to be on fire. She felt dizzy.
" Bob? Please safe our baby!". she manage to voice out amidst her pain before she lost consciousness. Bob on the other hand was stunned to hear the word 'baby' he did not know she is carrying his child not that he care for her thou but he would at least delay his punishment on her for the sake if his seed.
He looked at her with fear when he saw her own blood has formed a torrent on the floor.
He did not mind the blood but mere thought of the fact that it is his own child built some kind of fear in him which he can not describe. At last he watched her loss consciousness with unreadable expression. He finally snapped out of his stupor when she landed again on the floor with a ' thump'.
" Amelia! Janet! Evenly! ". Bob shout at the top of his lungs for the maids. The maids who were already awake from the noise earlier tiptoe back to their quarters before they answered as if they are just coming from there. Bob did not have time to scold them, he only instruct them to get the car keys.
" Amy! go and open the car fast. Let's take her to the hospital. "
Although the maids did not like a bit they still quickly open the car , help in carrying the unconscious Betty into the car, Amelia followed them into the car as per instruction of Bob before the car zoom out of the premises. The other two maid went inside to clean the blood on the floor and to wait for their arrival if possible that night.

Tim's mansion Country F
Jerry entered the mansion like a soulless person, he looked disheveling and dirty unlike him at all. Jerry the ruthless CEO is someone that always care for his appearance but right now, all that does not matter or applied to him .
It has been two days since Susan disappearance, it seems she evaporate into thin air. His subordinate has comb the entire city but she still remained unfound. The thought if this itself make him weak and useless.
He entered the house and headed to the stairs, Mrs Tim who has being sitting in the living room waiting for his arrival looked at him with pain in her heart. She felt like her heart is being twisted by an invisible hand when he looked at her son .
He looked like a beggar or a beggar looked better than he is. He did not change out of his cloth for the past two days, his eyes is bloodshot with stubble hair on his face. Mrs Tim was moved to tears looking at her son suffering, when he wanted to give up on love his much awaited other half showed up, when he wanted to enjoy being love someone made him suffered like this.
She made a vows secretly to deal with the culprit when her daughter in law set free. She shook her head at the thought because she did not even know how to go about it but she has confident in her son to deal with the person accordingly. " Son! " Jerry looked back lazily at his mother, he knows she is worried like himself. " Mummy? "
" Son...." Mrs Tim open her mouth to say something but instead of word she burst into cry. Jerry panicked, he did not wasn't anything to happened to his mother too. He quickly rushed to her side to comfort her . " Mummy? what happened to you? are you in pain anywhere? did anything happened while I was gone? did I go something wrong? ....."
" NO!!" said in between her sobbing. Jerry heave a sigh of relieve when he heard that, at least another thing did not add to his problem but he frown when he noticed she is still crying. He think hard not knowing what to ask or say to her right now.
" Is it about Susan?" He asked after thinking about it and that is the only possible thing that can make her cry since she has always seen her as her own. She has always wanted a daughter if her own but that did not happened even after trying different method to conceive.
His train of thought was broken when his mother answered ' YES' he releases her from his embrace and ran his hand on his face. " Mother? please don't be like this. If you are crying like this what do you want me to do? Just please continue to pray for her safety. OK! "
Mrs Tim nod her head at his word, she did not want to add to his burden but she did not know when she burst into crying ( blame it on menopause ) she said to herself.
" Jerry I don't want to burden you but I can't continue to watch you suffered like this. Why ? after so many years of waiting for her? look at yourself! you are not taking care of yourself too. You look haggard and shabby. Please take care of yourself else when she comes back and find you like this , she will be mad at you. Please don't make us worry about you too. Please. " She pout her two hands together as if she ius praying in order to plead with her son.
At the mentioning of Susan being mad at him, he nod his head and promise to take care of himself and to have proper rest . After much persuasion he shave, bath and have his meal even thou he did not have any appetite , he need to eat so he will have the energy to continue this search.
