Whirlwind Marriage: My Possessive CEO's Undying Pampering-Chapter 959 - 956: Drugging (7)
"Carla, between him and me now... all that’s left is a transaction," Eva Nightingale said, "You know, the Nightingale Group was brought back from the brink solely because of his help."
Carla Carr: "Eva, don’t you two have any plans to remarry?"
Carla knew that the divorce had definitely been a huge blow to Eva, and considering remarrying would probably be done with extreme caution.
"No..." Eva’s voice betrayed her hidden disappointment. Talking about remarriage, neither of them had mentioned it recently. They had fought back then, and he said to break up... Later, he suggested getting back together. Eva finally agreed, but he kept doing things that hurt her.
This phone call lasted for an entire hour.
Because after this call, the two of them could no longer stay in contact.
Currently, only Eva Nightingale knew of Carla’s whereabouts and her pregnancy.
Having spent a night with the Crown Prince beforehand, she managed... to use his connections to not only settle Carla comfortably but also erase all traces of her movements, making it impossible for Alexander Kingsley to track her!!
At the time, Lucas Knight merely agreed to whatever Eva asked without inquiring about her intentions. Essentially, if she asked him for something, he would grant it without hesitation.
Like before with the Nightingale Group, as long as she asked, he would instruct Harry North to register the company in her name without a second thought and help the Nightingale Group come back to life.
...
"Knock knock—" The door was tapped gently, and Aunt Fang walked in, "Young Madam, would you like to come downstairs and eat something?"
"Okay!" Eva walked downstairs.
With Lucas Knight on a business trip, she was the only one at the dining table. Aunt Fang, worried she’d be bored, said, "Young Madam, Miss Charlotte is also at the manor. Would you like me to invite her to accompany you?"
Charlotte Knight was the only sister Lucas Knight had and loved dearly, just like how he cherished Ella White.
Charlotte and Ella were similar, both pampered since childhood and unfamiliar with hardship, exuding an aura of nobility.
"No need..." Eva replied.
No need to disturb her; around this time, she was probably getting ready for a bath or going to sleep.

Three days later.
Eva, sporting dark circles under her eyes, was having Dr. Meng check her pulse.
"Young Madam, haven’t you been sleeping well?"
"Mm." Eva hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days and kept having nightmares. She thought it was because her belly had grown, causing discomfort while sleeping.
She didn’t pay much attention to it.
After the check-up, Dr. Meng gave some instructions and left.
Eva was about to go downstairs to get something to eat, but as she reached the staircase, she heard Aunt Fang’s voice.
"What? Something happened!" Her voice was slightly choked, "Harry, don’t joke with me like this..."
Something happened. Standing at the corner of the villa, Eva froze, eyes quickly filling with tears, feeling as if her entire body had turned to stone.
Before she could process it, Aunt Fang’s voice urgently followed, "Don’t worry, Young Madam won’t find out..."
-
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Fang almost lost her balance.
The call from Harry North was to inform that something had happened overseas; a small private plane exploded while passing through the Northern Europe Forest, and after searching for three days, no one was found...
Aunt Fang only knew that for this trip, the Admiral had mobilized a large number of military spies, indicating that this business trip was entirely different from previous ones.
The Crown Prince and the Admiral had gone to war, where bullets do not have eyes. Unlike previous incidents, this was not the same. When Harry North called to inform, his voice was trembling, as if he could barely speak.
