Chapter 283 Unexpected Turn of Events
Nick concluded that Veronica had him on the palm of her hands. He couldn't believe that he let her escape like this.
No one opposed Nick like this, which made him furious.
Nick stared grudgingly at the computer screen, holding the silver bracelet on the palm of his hand. As he tried to regain his strength, he growled at Kay in a low, menacing voice. "even if you have to search everywhere, you still need to get her back to me!"
Veronica got out of the car she just rode on and immediately rented a private car to the next city.
On the car, Isabella asked, worried about Veronica. "We've already left capital. Do you really want to rush like this?"
Veronica grit her teeth, "Isabella, you don't know Nick. If the bracelet falls into the water, he'll try his best to pick it back up. The bracelet has a locator, after all. It'll take him some time to find it, but that doesn't mean he can't find it."
"Once he finds out that there's only a bracelet and I can't be seen, he'll know about my plan and come after me right away. As long as he finds the ticket, he'll know which city I went to. " Veronica added.
"It's normal for people to fall into the lake and make the bracelet come off, right?"
"I don't think that's the case." Veronica told her.
Along the way, her heart was beating nervously. Veronica was afraid that Nick would suddenly find out about her where she was. If she manages to escape but end up failing, Nick will surely torture her.
"I'm just worried about the fact that the kids won't be able to adjust to this." Isabella said.
Veronica looked at the six children with a soft look on her face. She touched their faces and hugged them. "Can you guys bear it a little longer? Come on, sleep next to Mom. It's going to feel like we're at home. "
"Mom, are we flying?" Peter asked.
The rest of the children suddenly turned to look at Peter and was intrigued by the possibility.
"Mom, I forgot to bring my panda. My panda has never been on a plane!" Cathy said.
"I want to play with guns!" Peter told Veronica happily.
"Mom, Josh and I don't have a kite with us." Julie and Josh pouted.
"Mom bought me the ring, the flower, did not take." Lily said as she pouted along with Julie and Josh.
Daniel was silent. He didn't seem to bring his pen either.
Veronica simply sighed. This wasn't supposed to be a trip, but she could understand how the children felt. "Mom will buy it for you sometime soon, okay?"
"Yay!" The six children cheered happily.
The scenery outside was getting darker while the car kept moving. Veronica's restlessness seemed to have subsided for a bit, which made her sigh.
Peter had started to yawn and was already drowsy.
The three little girls had slept on Isabella while the other three slept on Veronica.
After they rode the car for about half an hour, Isabella suddenly started to panic.
"What's the matter?" Veronica asked her
"Josh has a fever! He's really hot!" Isabella said anxiously.
Veronica reached out to touch Josh's forehead. She thought that Isabella was right, but she reassured herself that he'll be fine after a little rest.
"Josh?"
"Yeah?" Josh said as he opened his eyes. Tears were falling down his face and that alone made Veronica worry.
"Mister, how long will it take for us to get to the neighboring city?" Veronica asked.
"if there's no traffic, it'll take us two and a half hours." He said.
Veronica never thought that Josh would have a fever.
His temperature was so hot. However, Josh had a weak immune system. He was frightened by the sudden journey, but Veronica didn't expect that it would come to this.
"Veronica, you have to go back! If Josh's condition gets worse, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life." Isabella said anxiously.
"I know." Veronica told Isabella as she gritted her teeth. She knew she had no other choice but to go back.
"Mister, I want you to go back and take us directly to the hospital."
