Chapter 688: MY STOMACH HURT

Chapter 688: MY STOMACH HURT

When Jayden was about to walk away from the place together with Adrian, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone was getting out of the truck and this of course surprised Jayden because he didn't expect to see the man at all.

He is Erick, the first child of Theodore Gevano, who is also Alina's ex-husband.

Damn!

Sometimes Jayden felt that there was something wrong with Alina's brain because she married this kind of man. Of course, this happened before the kidnapping case that involved him.

But, why did he come here? The last time they met was at a party he and Apple attended and stole their company's data.

Jayden really had to control himself very well, because every time he saw that man, he felt like slapping him mercilessly.

Well, he would be able to do just that later when all this was over. He was really going to destroy that guy because Alina didn't do anything to him as far as Jayden knew…

"Isn't that..." Adrian looked at the man who got off the truck. Even though he was wearing a black hat and jacket and didn't look flashy at all, he could recognize him very well.

"Yeah, I know…" Jayden mumbled stubbornly, trying to keep himself from hitting the guy right then and there. "It is a shame he is still alive," Jayden said nonchalantly.

The annoyance that Jayden felt was quite understandable, considering what Erick had done to his sister.

And after that, the two of them walked away, letting Erick do what he had to do now.

========================

"Are they still not moving?" asked Apple warily, looking down at Danny's cell phone, which was being used to call one of the men who were with Jayden Tordoff on this mission.

"Don't worry too much, everything will be fine," Gabriel said, trying to calm Apple, who was now listening to the guy on the phone, although not much could be heard or said anything, due to the atmosphere behind the line. Such phone calls tend to be very quiet.

"Ugh! It's so annoying, I am so worried that I feel sick to my stomach," Apple grumbled. She was used to being directly at the scene when carrying out a mission, therefore, not being able to be at the scene in person, was really stressful.

However, Gabriel and Danny immediately widened their eyes when they heard Apple complain like that.

"Hey, no kidding…" they grumbled. "Don't say things like that. Did you forget that you are pregnant? It could mean something else," he said frantically. He didn't know much about pregnant women, but one thing was for sure; Mr. Tordoff would be furious if anything happened to this girl. Therefore, how could she say that so lightly?

On the other hand, Apple really forgot about it. Oh right, she was pregnant now, how could she say such a thing?

Apple grimaced and rubbed her stomach. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that.

"Your stomach really hurts?" Gabriel asked, looking at Apple anxiously because she didn't say anything.

"It's alright… I'm alright…" Apple waved her hand to make the two men stop worrying about her, because after all, she was only saying that out of spite because she couldn't be there and see the mission firsthand.

However, Gabriel and Danny still couldn't believe it. "Are you sure?" they asked with furrowed brows. "We don't really need to see a doctor now?" he asked worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. If I feel something is wrong, then I will tell you guys," Apple said lightly, waving her hand at their worried faces.

And then, after confirming that Apple was okay, the two of them then turned their attention back to the phone that had been their main focus for a long time.

Waiting for something to happen.

But, they hoped that nothing bad would happen, because the night seemed so long.

=======================

Jayden watched the movements of Erick and five others, who were loading valuable looking crates into a large cargo hold where a ship would be carrying them off.

It was fortunate that tonight Theodore Gevano had his son come check on this work personally. It seemed like he really didn't trust anyone and wanted to make sure everything went smoothly.

But, what they didn't know was that, with Erick Gevano's appearance, of course this would help making the accusations of human trafficking that they were charging them with now become irrefutable.

Even if Theodore Gevano could be released like before, by scapegoating someone and because of the evidence that said he wasn't at the scene, at least Erick would be convicted in a serious legal case.

Jayden smiled at the thought, the bastard was finally about to meet his end and it was quite comforting for Jayden.

Only, Jayden really couldn't ignore his restless feeling now that he was in the Harbor.

All the things he had done and the post-abduction trauma therapy, couldn't really help him get back to his original state.

He still felt anxious when he saw the big ships and also his fingertips felt very stiff.

And being around these cargoes only made him feel like he was about to have a panic attack.

Very annoyed, Jayden took off his jacket as his breath became heavy, while beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead which made Adrian worried.

"Are you okay? You can go back and I'll continue this," said Adrian, trying to persuade Jayden, but the man wouldn't listen at all.

Just at that moment, someone touched Jayden's shoulder and this made him gasp and instinctively, he turned around to see who the person was.

And when he turned around, he saw a burly man looking at him fiercely.

"What are you doing here?" asked the man who was wearing the same uniform that Jayden and Adrian were wearing.
