A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 176

Chapter 178

Panic blinded Ivy for a few seconds before it began to fade. Her chest tightened, and sweat beaded along her forehead.

"Is... she there?" she asked, trying her best to keep the panic from her voice.

"Cheryl? Yes, she is," May replied, her tone high with confusion. "What's going on, Ivy?"

"Nothing crazy," Ivy said quickly. "Just keep her there. I'm coming."

She ended the call and dashed downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, she saw Monica.

"Hey, Ivy," Monica greeted, her voice light.

"Good. Great."

If Monica noticed Ivy's distress, she didn't show it. Instead, she stepped closer, a bright smile spreading on her face.

"Is it okay for Bailey and her girlfriend to come home for dinner tomorrow? I wanted to ask for your permission before 1-"

"Sure, sure. Sounds nice," Ivy said hastily as she headed for the door. "Dinner is great."

Monica said something else, but Ivy didn't catch it. When she reached the guards' quarters, she summoned five bodyguards.

"You're all coming with me."

Quickly, all of them found their way into two of Silas's Rolls Royces and got to Aunt May's house.

The entire ride was filled with silent panic and when they reached, she dashed inside.

"Aunt May?" she called.

Instead, she found Cheryl sitting in the living room, calmly eating a big bowl of chicken soup and rice.

Ivy moved closer, expecting to see the baby by Cheryl's side-maybe Aunt May hadn't noticed him earlier. But to her dismay, the chair was empty.

Panic surged through her again, but she held it together as she perched on the arm of the couch.

"Cheryl, how are you?" she asked gently.

"I'm good. How are you?" Cheryl responded calmly, lifting a spoonful of soup to her mouth.

Ivy's hand trembled as she touched Cheryl's shoulder. It was then she noticed Cheryl wasn't wearing the hospital gown.

The panic multiplied, tearing her up inside.

Her thoughts raced. Where was the baby? Did Martha and Paige have him? Only one way to find out.

She pulled out her phone and dialed the guard who had texted her earlier.

He picked up immediately, his breathing heavy "Ma'am, we have a problem. I... can't... find your friend."

"She's here," Ivy said, trying to calm her racing nerves. "Where's the baby?" "He's in the baby ward, ma'am. I... didn't know how she left."
