The Vanished Lover

Hot!

It was really hot!

Jill Grace felt a pair of burning hands stroking her body so she opened her dizzy eyes, trying to figure out what was happening.

In a daze, she saw a man's face approaching her.

In the darkness, his eyes were sending out evil lights, seemingly swallowing everything!

"You..." She wanted to ask who he was, but after only one word, her lips were sealed by the man overbearingly.

His kiss was fiery like fire balls while her body grew hotter and hotter...

She was struck dumbness at the moment, as if her body was hit by lightnings, making her surrender completely without consciousness.

The light was dim in the room. Only a slight of moonlight came through screen windows, shining on the two persons who intertwined together on the bed.

In the dim light, Jill stared at the face of the man who pinned her down. The elegant and handsome face appeared to be profound and obscure among dark and gloomy lights.

She opened her eyes wider and hoped to see it more clearly.

"Tick, tick..." Sharp clock sounds woke up the person on the bed.

That dream, again!

Jill was so puzzled. How could she always have such a dream? Moreover, it was a sex dream! As a woman who had a finance, how could she...dream and cream about another man?

At the thought of it, she felt guilty for her finance.

She couldn't help thinking of that dream. It was really...too real!

Right at this time, the phone besides her pillow was ringing.

"Jill, come to the hospital right now! Henson Yale awoke!" The moment she picked up the phone, the person on the other end said with excitement.

Hearing this news, Jill took a breath.

"Sister Lily, what did you say? Henson...he...really..." She didn't even dare to breathe too hard, for fear that it was just a dream.

"You didn't mishear it. Henson really awoke! Come over now!" Lily Yale, Henson's sister, said it again.

Was it real? Henson really awoke?

Jill couldn't suppress the ecstasy in the heart and ran to the hospital as quickly as she could.

She had been in a relationship with Henson for three years. But for the car accident, she had been his wife.

Half a year ago, on the wedding day, Henson got in a car accident on the way to pick her up to the wedding. Then he lay in bed for half a year.

She had been waiting for so long. Now he finally woke up today!

When she rushed to the hospital and pushed the door open, she indeed saw the man whom she missed so much sitting on the bedside, his bright eyes staring at her soulfully.

It was true! Henson indeed awoke!

After half a year, when she saw him open his eyes again, Jill's tears were streaming down in an instant.

"Jill..." Henson looked at her, murmuring.

Her body had got so skinny during the last half a year and her baby fat face had turned into pointed chin. Obviously she had lived so hard during the last half a year.

His heart ached while he saw it.

"Brother Henson, you just woke up. Have a rest." Tina Lloyd stood by the bedside, with concerns in her voice.

Tina? How could she be here? Where was Sister Lily?

Jill was surprised at seeing her. When she was about to ask, she felt gross in the stomach so she lowered her head, vomiting without anything out.

"Jill, what is the matter with you? " At the sight of her sudden change, Henson asked with concerns.

"Just a minor illness. I'll be okay after two days...Cough! Cough!" Jill waved her hand and wanted to say she was okay, but before she finished her words, the gross feeling came up again. She lowered her head again but didn't throw up anything.

"You look so awful! How could it be a minor illness? My sister has told me everything. You took care of me day and night in the hospital in the last half a year. Now I must take you to see the doctor." While seeing her vomit so hard, Henson guessed that she must be burnt out, which caused some problems on her intestines and stomach.

Jill didn't think it was a big deal, but she couldn't persuade him, so she had to register Digestive System Department.

However, after the doctor checked her up, he transferred her to Gynaecology Department.

"Congrats! You are pregnant! It has been over a month." The doctor said while looking at the report.

"Doctor, it must be a mistake. It is impossible for me to get pregnant." Hearing the doctor's conclusion, Jill was honest and decent in the heart, only thinking it must be a mistake by the hospital.

"That's true. She just has some problems with her intestines and stomach." Henson explained for her by the side.

"We won't make such a stupid mistake. If you don't trust it, you can do a checkup again." The doctor said in a very formal tone.

When Tina heard the doctor say Jill was pregnant, a trace of happiness flashed in her heart.

Harboring different emotions, they waited for Jill to do a checkup again. But the result showed that she was indeed pregnant.

"Impossible! How could it be!" Holding the report, Jill didn't believe it at all.

Henson grabbed the report from her hand with his eyes full of distrust, "That is not true! I had a car accident half a year ago and just woke up today. How could you get pregnant?"

"Since it is not Brother Henson's child, it must be others'."Tina lowered her voice deliberately to make sure both of them could hear it.

"Tina, don't talk nonsense!" Jill cast a warning glance at her.

She didn't even have sex with Henson and remained a virgin. How could she get pregnant?

"Sister Jill, I don't want to see you as that kind of person, but the hospital report states it clearly. How could you cheat on him while he was in a coma? You hurt Brother Henson so much!" Tina added fuel to the fire.

"I didn't!" Jill shook her head violently and turned around to look at the man in the wheelchair, "Henson, listen to me! It must be a mistake by the hospital. I swear I didn't..."

Speaking of this, she thought of the dream she just had and suddenly was not so sure.

Was it...not a dream at all? It indeed happened to her...

"This is a grade A hospital. Maybe the first time it was a mistake by the hospital. How about the second time? It is impossible for them to make the same mistake!" Seeing Henson's face darken, Tina kept on adding fuel to the fire.

Finally, the man in the wheelchair blew up, "Jill, it is so clear. You don't need to argue any more!"

Henson squeezed the boiling hot report in the hand with his eyes turning icy cold.

His eyes towards her were like iron needles, piercing straight Jill's heart. She knew that he had believed Tina's words and thought she betrayed him.

However, she didn't give in. Since so many weird things happened these days, she had to make them clear with him. She reached out her hands, trying to pull him, "Henson, listen to me..."

"Sister Jill, you are going too far. You are pregnant with another man's child, but still pester Brother Henson. Is that you want him to be the child's father?" Tina walked forward and pushed her hard.

"Ah!" Jill didn't stand still and fell on the floor.

Outside the door, lots of people stood there, watching the show and believed that she was an unscrupulous woman.

One of the onlookers was recently cheated on so she harbored a grudge against mistresses. Thus, she threw the newly-bought ash tray in the bag to Jill irrationally.

Jill got hit in an instant with her forehead bleeding.

Curses and gossips were spreading in the air. No one took pity or sympathy on her. Only abuses and "Go to hell" could be heard.

At the sight of her embarrassed look, Henson felt heartbroken. However, when he thought of that she hooked up with another man while he was in a coma and even got pregnant, his face turned extremely cold.

Jill struck the ground, even her palm bleeding and blood on the forehead was dripping down her pale face, which was very horrifying. However, the coldness on Henson's face hurt her more than ten times than the wounds on her body.

A trace of desperation appeared in her eyes, "Henson, can you let me explain it?"

"Do you think you have to explain it? Jill, I've never thought you are such a dissolute bitch! You make me disgusted! Don't let me see you again!" After the cold words, he wheeled his chair away, leaving her a resolute background.

"Brother Henson, wait for me!" Tina turned around to look at the awkward person on the ground, curling her lips and then chased after him.

Jill had never been so embarrassed. Dissolute? Disgusted? She never expected that he would use such words on her. She harbored hatred but didn't know who she should hate. She even had no idea who the father of the child was in her belly.

It was so ridiculous!

Right at this time, a group of men in black broke in, squatting beside her, "Miss Grace, sorry we are late!"

After figuring out their intention, Jill knew that they were sent by the man who made her pregnant. Thus, she didn't resist and fellow them to a seaside villa.

"Where is he?" She searched around and didn't find the figure. So she turned around and asked the men who brought her here.

"Miss Grace, you are mistaken. I took you here not to see sir." The man's answer disappointed her.

"This kind of thing has plunged my life into chaos. Shouldn't he turn up and give me an explanation?" Thinking of her unexpected pregnancy, Jill felt wronged.

"Sorry, you can't see sir as you want." The man's tone was very formal.

"Ah, what a joke!" Jill laughed out loud, "Who is he? Even he is the president, he should give me an explanation!"

The man opposite her smiled politely but didn't answer her.

"Since you took me here not to see him, why did you catch me?" Jill asked again.

"Miss Grace, don't get me wrong. We didn't catch you. We invited you here to nourish the fetus."The man corrected her.

"Nourish the fetus?" Jill felt that she must hear it wrong.

"Yes." The man nodded, "We are sure that the father of the baby in your belly is our sir. So our sir said that you must give birth to him."

"For what?" Jill got so speechless. That coward not only didn't show up, but also asked her to bear the baby.

"Sir said you could ask for any condition."

"If I want his life, can you give me?"

"Miss Grace, don't give me a hard time."

"So ridiculous! He asked me to bear a child whose father I even don't know. Isn't he giving me a hard time?" Jill trembled with anger.

"I can't expose too much, but I can make sure that it will benefit a lot to you and particularly the child after you give birth to him. I've said all. You just stay here to nourish the fetus. You can order any servant here." After that, the man walked to the door.

"Don't go! Tell me, who is the man?" Jill wanted to chase him, but stopped by two servants.

She watched them walk away, with nothing she could do.

"Ask the man to see me. Even though he has a great power, he has to follow the law! Without my permission, that was a rape! No one has the privilege!" She cried at the top of her voice, ignoring that those men had left away.

"Miss Grace, you can't say it was a rape." A servant who was in her forties or fifties covered her mouth immediately, as if she said some disrespectful words.

"You know who the man is, don't you?" Jill looked at her with great expectations.

"Just stay here to nourish the fetus. Don't think too much." That servant looked at her, "Whether you want or not, you have to bear this child!"

Seemingly she was very respectful to the man.

Jill couldn't help wondering: who was the father of the child in her belly?

......

Front yard of the villa.

A man was standing with his back to the villa.

He had a tall and straight figure, with a dark suit wrapping his strong body. The diamond sleeve buttons shined brightly in the sunshine, which showed his dignified identity.

"How is it going?" He opened his thin lips, looking at the man who came out of the villa.

"I've done what you ordered." That man bowed slightly and answered him.

"Let them take good care of her. I don't want to see any accident." The man ordered.

"Please rest assured. The servants who take care of Miss Grace are selected by strict standards. Everything will be fine except..." He bit his lips.

"Except what?"

"Miss Grace said she wants to see you."

See him?

The man's obsidian-like eyes shivered slightly and then his face returned to normal. He said in a disdainful tone, "She still has the face to see me after doing such a thing?"

He didn't like her, but for the baby in her belly, he was confident to get him!

"Got it." The man beside nodded respectfully.

"She can ask for any condition. As long as she doesn't go too far, you help her to handle it and don't need to inform me."

"Yes."

In total despair, Jill went to stand in front of the window and sort out her ideas. Looking through the window, she suddenly saw two persons standing in the front yard.

The person standing opposite her was the man who brought her here. At the moment, he was respectfully reporting something to a man beside him.

He must be the man who made her pregnant!

Out of women's instinct, she made a quick judgement.

That man stood with his back to her so she didn't see his face, but from his slim figure and powerful aura, he was definitely not an ordinary person!

Right at this moment, that man suddenly seemed to turn his head.

Was he going to turn back?

Jill felt her heart was in her mouth abruptly.

However, to her disappointment, that man changed his idea. He lowered his head and got in the car next to him.

Was he going to leave?

In a panic, Jill turned around and rushed to the stairs.

"Miss Grace, please stop!" Seeing her running downstairs madly, the servants got greatly frightened, for fear that any accident might happen to the child in her belly.

Jill didn't care about their words. At this time, there was only one idea in her mind-stop that man!

But when she arrived at the ground floor, the motorcade in the front yard had left away with a series of tracks.

"Come back! You come back!" She cried with anger, accusation, helplessness and puzzle in her voice, but what responded to her was the motorcade out of her sight.

......

Jill meant to get an abortion but she couldn't get out of the villa door, let alone go to the hospital. And people from the hospital were arranged to come here to check her up regularly.

She tried to ask them the mysterious man's identity, but all of them were reluctant to tell her any information about the man's identity.

She thought that the man would appear sooner or later as long as she was carrying this baby. However, after she had been pregnant for more than nine months, this man still didn't turn up.

Who was he? Did he regard her as a surrogacy tool? She had no idea about the man's thought.

She had been thinking of it while going downstairs. Accidentally, she missed her steps and rolled down the stairs.

"Ouch!" She cried out of pain.

"Miss Grace!" After hearing it, a servant rushed to her immediately, seeing watery blood flowing out from her thigh roots.

"OMG, blood!" The servant pointed at her thighs and changed her face out of fear.

Jill looked at where she pointed and saw blood running out from her body.

"Save...save my child!" Seeing so much blood, Jill said in a faint tone and then passed out.

One day later, she woke up.

What leaped to her eyes were snow white ceiling, snow white quilt cover, snow white sheet....Everything was snow white. Even she appeared ghastly pale due to excessive loss of blood.

At this time, there was a twisted pain in her abdomen.

Child!

She suddenly recalled the situation before she fainted and reached out her hands to touch the lower abdomen. It was empty! The child was gone!

Where was her child?

She was so frightened and lifted the quilt, trying to get off the bed. But she just did a cesarean delivery so her sudden movement made her wounds torn open, reducing her back to the bed. That pain made her prefer to die.

"Don't move!" Lily held her back to the bed at the sight of it.

"Sister Lily, where is my child? Where is my child?" Jill didn't have the mood to ask why she was here. She just held her arms, saying in a trembling voice. Originally, she wanted to get an abortion, but after spending so much time with the fetus, she already had feelings for him.

"The child was taken away the moment he was born. I didn't see him, either." Lily sighed.

"No! My child!" Hearing her words, Jill knew that the child must be taken away by the mysterious man. Ignoring the pain on her abdomen, she pulled out the needles and got off the bed.

"Jill, where are you going?" Lily chased her.

"I'm going to find my child. How could he take him away from me without my permission?" Enduring the pain, Jill staggered to the door.

"Do you know where to find him?" Lily asked.

Jill was taken back upon hearing it.

She didn't know the man's name, what he looked like and even where to find him! Though she had been living in the villa prepared by him, she never went out so she didn't even know the villa's location.

That was to say, she didn't have any slightest clue of the man!

Four years later-

Jill had searched for the child for four years but she didn't find any clue. She tried to recall the man's look, but her impression on him remained in the dream fragments. She could only recall his eyes sent out brown lights, seemingly swallowing everything.

Where could she find her child? She had no clue at all. She didn't even take a look at her child. Even if she had seen him, he would have been quite different from the newborn baby after four years.

"Jill, Henson...he is going to get married." She received Lily's call as soon as she went back from a business trip and walked out of the airport.

If she said she didn't feel heartbroken after hearing these words, it was definitely false.

"Oh really? That is great!" She got stunned for a few seconds and then replied in a calm tone.

"Jill..." Lily knew that her heart ached, but she had no idea how to comfort her. They would occasionally contact each other during the past four years.

"I'm fine. I knew that we won't be together." Jill pretended to be relaxed, "I have something to do now. Talk to you later."

After that, she hung up the phone first.

So cold!

A gust of cold wind was blowing over. She couldn't help shivering and shrinking her neck, and wrapped her coat more tightly.

Why was this winter so chilly? Jill looked up at the sky which was overcast today. Seemingly it was going to rain soon.

Why her online hailing car didn't arrive yet?

She looked around at the roadside.

At this time, a four-year-old child intrude into her sight. This child was so cute like a Barbie doll that she couldn't pay no attention.

Her own child should be this old! She couldn't help sighing at the sight of him.

The next moment, the child seemed to be attracted by something on the opposite side so he walked there directly without noticing the traffic light had turned red.

"Take care!" Jill shouted with fear and walked to him out of instinct.

"Pang!" A sharp brake sound, along with a bumping noise broke the order outside the airport.

Jill lay on the ground with blood all over her body. However, the boy just suffered a slight injury for she had pushed him away.

"Young master!" A group of bodyguards in black came out of the airport in a hurry and picked up the boy from the ground.

"What's the matter?"

A low and deep male voice came from behind.

Leon Forster walked out of the exit.

A high-end dark suit made him reserved and outstanding. His angular face, his prominent nose and his eyes in particular, sent out indifferent lights, which showed that he was a man that couldn't be offended.

The moment he turned up, the exit of the airport was cleared.

"Sir, young master almost got bumped, but this woman saved him at this critical moment." The bodyguard who witnessed the car accident replied.

Hearing it, Leon furrowed his brows slightly, "How did you take care of young master?"

Fortunately, his son didn't get hurt. Otherwise, he wouldn't just scold them.

"Sorry, sir!" The bodyguard lowered his head to express his apology since he knew that it was his fault.

It was not time to blame them so Leon looked towards Jill and said to the man beside him, "Send her to the hospital as soon as possible!"

After that, he turned back, ready to sit in the car nearby, for he had something urgent to do.

Before he got into the car, the child broke free from the bodyguard, jumped and ran to him, pulling his pants while looking towards Jill, "Daddy, save save!"

"Sir, little master... little master...opened his mouth!" The bodyguard raised his head and said excitedly to the godlike man in a suit.

He was not deaf. Of course he heard it!

Leon didn't expect that after so long, the first sentence his son said was this one. Thus, he said to the man beside him solemnly, "Find the best doctor to save her!"

"Yes, master!" The bodyguard replied, ready to pick up Jill from the ground.

But the little boy ran over and stood in front of Jill, stopping him with his body, "Don't touch my mommy!"

Er...mommy...

The bodyguard knew that he got it wrong and squatted, explaining to him patiently, "Young master, you got it wrong. She is not your mommy. She is just a kind aunt who saved your life."

"She is my mommy! She is!" The little kid was very stubborn.

"Sir, this..." The bodyguard stood aside, looking towards the man in power.

Hearing it, Leon knitted his brows slightly and strode over to Jill. He wanted to know what kind of woman could make his son speak!

After a few steps, he approached her.

When he stood in front of her, the sunshine on her body was mostly shadowed by his tall figure. For her, his strange yet familiar powerful aura was like a low pressure suddenly coming down.

He lowered his head, staring at Jill.

A strict and sharp light flashed in his eyes with an overbearing power.

Who was he? Why did she feel a bit familiar? She seemed to see him before? Jill wanted to open her eyes wider, but at the time, she even couldn't breathe smoothly.

"Let go!" Without an extra word, Leon ordered his son beside him in a deep voice.

"No!" The little kid shook his head in a determined way.

Leon didn't speak with a sullen and horrifying face.

The little kid raised his head stubbornly, looking into his eyes.

Leon was a bit surprised at his reaction. Though he was reluctant to speak, he had never disobeyed him, let alone go against him like today.

He looked again at the woman lying on the ground. She couldn't be more common. Why did his son call her mommy so stubbornly? He couldn't figure it out.

He didn't figure it out temporarily but had known his son's intention by casting a glance at him. So he bent and held Jill in his arms personally.

This time, the little kid loosened his grip obediently and took a few steps back.
