Chapter 749 Then she turned and walked along the wall towards the fence. She was going to climb it. : "Scarlett, don't you dare." | was out of my car before | knew it. There was no way on earth she could get over that fence without tearing her back open again, and | was going to stop her if | had to throw her over my shoulder. My phone rang. | nearly ignored it. Then | saw the unknown number on the screen. I'd left my number with the hospital that evening, so they could reach me day or night about Scarlett or Tasha. | answered. "Yes?" "Sparrow, it's Daniel.

We have a problem." | watched Scarlett reach the fence and put her hand on the railing. "Let me guess." "Scarlett's disappeared." Daniel said. "She hasn't disappeared. I'm following her." "You're what? Where is she?" "I'll explain later. Tell me what happened." "The last time | spoke to her, she said she'd found out who the nurse was. The one who tricked Tasha into taking off the mask." + "Who?" "Lucia. The same woman who lured Tasha to Bryan at that club." › | closed my eyes for a second. Of course. Of course this was Lucia's house. And Scarlett hadn't come here for a conversation.

"I'll bring her back." "Sparrow, be careful. She's in no condition to..." "| know." | opened my eyes just in time to see Scarlett reach up, grip the top of the railings, and start to climb. | swore under my breath. "Wait, don't hang up. The doctor's here. He needs to speak to you." "Can it wait?" "No. It can't." There was a rustle on the line, and then a different voice. The doctor whose card I'd taken that evening. "Mr. Sparrow?" "Yes, Doctor. What is it?" "You need to bring Miss Vance back to this hospital immediately.

If she pushes herself much further than she already has, she could lose the baby." = | stood very still in the dark. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about Scarlett. She's pregnant. It's very early, and it's extremely high risk, given everything her body's been through today. : She's carrying a baby, sir." For amoment, | couldn't feel my own legs. It was as if somebody had pulled the ground straight out from under me, and | was standing on nothing at all. "A baby?" "Yes, sir. Mr. Sparrow? Are you still there?" "No." | shook my head. "No. That can't be..." | looked up.

Scarlett had reached the top of the fence. In the moonlight, | saw her swing one leg over, then the other, and drop down out of sight on the other side. "Damn it!" | flung the phone into the car and ran. My heart was pounding so hard | could hear it in my ears. She was pregnant. She had a bullet wound in her back that had been stitched closed twice in one day. And she was climbing fences in the dead of night to settle a score with the woman who'd helped destroy Tasha's life.
