I promptly ended the call and dialed Noah''s number, instructing him to send someone to drive Lauren back to Foswood.


    With that sorted out, I called Ivanna, but her phone was switched off.


    A sense of unease crept over me, and I turned to As, asking, "Are you really not aware of Jared''s whereaboutstely? What''s going on with him? This is so irresponsible of him! I used to have a good impression of him, but now he seems so unreliable."


    At this point, I was furious.


    As became serious too. "I really haven''t heard from him. Don''t worry, I''ll find him."


    Hearing his assurance, I spoke with amanding tone, "Don''t just cate me. You must find him quickly. If anything goes wrong, I won''t take responsibility. Tell him that he''s going to lose his son if he doesn''t straighten things out as soon as possible. Got it?"


    As raised an eyebrow and nodded while maintaining a serious expression.


    Seeing his attempt to act earnestly, I couldn''t contain my anger. "Stop pretending to be all serious. As, you have 24 hours. Find him quickly, or don''t expect to see me again."


    I finished my statement coldly and walked away.


    He quickly caught up and pulled me into an embrace. "Why are you angry at me? He''s the one making a mistake, so you can''t punish me for it. That''s just unfair. I didn''t say I wouldn''t find him."


    Just then, his secretary knocked on the door and entered. Seeing As embracing me, about to kiss me, she immediately closed her eyes and retreated. As just ordered coldly, "Get out." Blushing, I quickly buried my face in his chest.


    The secretary hurriedly left the office. As said, "I promise to find him within 24 hours. Now, give your husband a smile."


    Hearing this, I realized that if he could find him in 24 hours now, it meant he hadn''t put in much effort.


    Damn. He yed me for a fool.


    Seizing the moment while I was in a daze, he quickly kissed me and said, "Smile for me."


    "Yeah, right! Were you ying me for a fool? You could have found him from the start." I red at him, brewing with anger.


    "I did my best!" he quickly insisted.


    I couldn''t really do anything with him. After all, he was my As. I had to force a smile, but time was of the essence.


    Then I said to As, "You better keep your word. You know how I am with promises."


    "If I find him ahead of time, is there a reward for me?" he teased, looking yful.


    "Are you bargaining with me now? This is something you should''ve done in the first ce. What more do you want as a reward?" I ''red'' at him.


    "Just add in a bonus for me," he whispered in my ear.


    Hearing that, I blushed instantly. "As, this is a serious matter."


    He quickly let go of me and added, "Let''s consider it settled then. I''m a man of my word."


    I didn''t bother arguing further with him. I quickly headed out, saying, "Wait here for Adrian. I''m going to the hospital."


    As nodded. "Be careful, don''t drive too fast. Take it easy."


    I got into the car and sped into the distance.


    When I arrived at the hospital, Lauren called me. She asked, "Have you contacted her?"


    "No, but I''ve reached the hospital," I replied as I hurried toward the gynecology department. "Have you gotten in the car?"


    "Uh-huh." Lauren hesitated for a moment and then softly a there''s any news, inform me


    immediately. I''m on myText content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "If


    "Alright." I hung up, already at the entrance of the gynecology


    I headed for the


    vel


    doctor''s office, who had previously


    examined Ivanna.


    At the entrance, a medical assistant stopped me. Anxiously, I asked, "Excuse me, has someone named Ivanna Moran been here today?"


    "Yes. She was here." The assistant confirmed.


    "Where is she?" I inquired urgently. "What was she here for?"


    "Abortion. She''s done, and she had already left," the medical assistant replied coldly.


    My head buzzed for a moment.
