Trapped in Love

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Does Mr. Jordan Know?

At Florencia Hospital.

After completing the necessary hospitalization formalities, both Caroline and Paige returned to

the ward.

Daniella had been administered a sedative and was laying on the bed, her face pale.

Meanwhile, a hint of guilt appeared on Evan’s somber face as he looked at Daniella with concern.

Caroline suppressed the bitterness in her heart and approached the medical case calmly. “Mr. Jordan, it’s taken care of.”

However, Evan didn’t accept it. “Ask Reuben if he has found Ella’s medical records.”

Nodding, Caroline turned around and left the ward with Paige.

Upon contacting Reuben, she honestly conveyed Evan’s request.

There was a brief silence on the phone before Reuben spoke. “She has suffered from severe psychological trauma since childhood, which led to regular sessions with a therapist and the use

of psychotropic medication. I met with the former director to inquire, but the details were unclear.

I’m now reaching out to the deputy director for more information.”

After ending the call, Paige pursed her lips and spoke from the side. “It’s quite alarming. How did

we never notice any signs before?”

Caroline put her phone back into her bag. “One cannot fabricate medical records.”

Paige continued, “True, but I have a strange feeling about all of this”

Caroline asked, “Have you ever seen her take any medication?”

Paige responded, “Well, I haven’t paid much attention. I’ll observe her closely next time we’re back

at the office.”

She had a gut feeling that something was amiss with Daniella.

After informing Evan about Reuben’s update, Caroline and Paige left the hospital to grab a bite to

eat.

However, as soon as Caroline stepped into the restaurant and caught a whiff of the heavy oil scent, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous. She covered her mouth and rushed out of the establishment.

Stunned, Paige quickly followed after her.

When she saw Caroline retching on the side, her eyes widened. ‘Carol, are you…?”

Caroline immediately explained, “No, you’re overthinking!”

Raising an eyebrow, Paige responded, “I haven’t even said anything, but you seem eager to explain,

huh?”

Caroline was momentarily speechless.

At that moment, Paige took hold of Caroline’s arm. “You don’t need to explain right now. Let’s go to the hospital.”

However, Caroline hurriedly freed herself from Paige’s grasp. “No, I’m not going.”

Paige insisted, “Then tell me the truth!”

Knowing it was futile to resist, Caroline sighed and decided to be honest to avoid unnecessary complications. “Yes, I’m pregnant.”

She wasn’t afraid of Paige revealing the secret. After all, they had known each other for seven

years. She could trust Paige.

Astounded, Paige stared in disbelief. “Is it Mr. Jordan’s child? Does he know?”

Caroline shook her head. “I’m not ready to tell him yet, so please keep it confidential.”

Paige asked, “What are you going to do now? Mr. Jordan’s focus is solely on Daniella ”

Caroline smiled, masking the bitterness in her eyes. “I’ll take it one step at a time.”

After completing the recruitment tasks in the afternoon, Reuben informed Caroline that she

needed to prepare dinner for Evan. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She hailed a taxi and instructed the driver, “Please take me to Blossom Hotel.”

Glancing at Caroline through the rearview mirror as she focused on her phone, the driver locked.

the car doors and started the engine.

As the driver drove for nearly twenty minutes, Caroline finished reading the documents on her

phone and looked up, only to realize that the surroundings seemed unfamiliar and increasingly

remote.

A sense of unease crept over her, causing her heart to race.

She slowly lifted her gaze and met the driver’s vacant stare in the rearview mirror.

Collecting herself, she feigned composure and commented, “Florencia City looks beautiful at

night.”

The driver offered a brief, emotionless reply.

Maintaining her composure, Caroline swiftly accessed the GPS on her phone to check the route.

As expected, the taxi was traveling in the direction opposite of the hotel.

She began to ponder who could be behind this abduction attempt.

In Florencia City, she had neither friends nor enemies apart from the secretaries she had offended.

earlier.

However, she doubted they would resort to such sinister tactics

That left only one possibility–Mark.

Did he believe he couldn’t confront Evan directly, so he targeted her instead?

Taking a deep breath, Caroline retrieved her chat log with Evan from her phone and sent a distress

message.

[Mr. Jordan, I’ve been kidnapped.]

At the same time, Daniella had awakened in Florencia Hospital.

Her eyes were red as she spoke to Evan “Evan, I’m sorry for keeping something from you.”

Evan calmly sat on the sofa. T’m just relieved that you’re okay.”

“Evan, can you do me a favor?” Daniella asked with a hint of distress.

A flicker of frustration appeared on his face. “Go ahead.

She nervously bit her lip. “Please, can you refrain from digging into my painful childhood?”

For a brief moment, Evan remained silent.

He sensed that Daniella’s current demeanor was vastly different from when she was younger. Something must have happened to shape her into the person she had become. If she had suffered unjustly, he was determined to seek justice on her behalf.

Loosening his tie, he responded in a detached tone, “Let’s set that aside for now.”

Just then, his phone rang, and upon reading the message, his expression instantly turned icy.

He swiftly replied to Caroline’s message. [Where are you?]

Caroline promptly shared her location with him.

Sensing that something was amiss, Daniella tried to prop herself up in bed. “Evan, what’s wrong?”

However, Evan ignored her question and strode out of the ward. Before departing, he muttered,
