Chapter 152: Worried about Her

"If you feel bad, you don't need to pretend that you're ok," Evan says, "I'm worried about you. It's been a while since you've eaten anything, and you need to keep your strength up."

He gently guides her into the restaurant and sits beside her in a booth. With a quick glance at the menu, he orders the food. Then he looks thoughtfully at Avery.

"I've arranged the pregnancy test," he says.

Avery slowly sips a cup of tea, trying to calm her stomach. Her hand begins to shake when Evan mentions the test.

"Do you still promise me that you can save Gabrielle?" she asks.

"I already have people searching for her," Evan replies.

"How long before they find her?"

"They have to cover a lot of ground," Evan says hesitantly, "We need at least three days."

"Three days?" Avery gasps, "Can't they work any faster? Who knows what kind of danger might befall her in three days!"

"My men are trying their best," Evan assures her.
