Chapter 1416 Cecilia Leaves The Hospital

Without hesitation, she got off the bed.

At that moment, Vivian had yet to arrive. Cecilia followed the caller's directions.

She realized the dire situation she was in; going alone might not even guarantee her children's safety. As she contemplated reaching out to Sven for help, her phone buzzed again. It seemed as if the caller was watching her each and every move. "Ms. Smith, you're being disobedient," the distorted voice reprimanded.

In the background, the anguished cries of her babies pierced through the line.

"Don't you dare hurt my children!" Cecilia shouted, her voice cracking with emotion. In her agitation, the pain from her still-healing wounds flared sharply. She clutched her side, drawing in a pained, hissing breath as she struggled to steady herself. The crying continued until the caller spoke again, the voice cold and unnervingly detached. "I warned you before. No contacting anyone. Consider this your only warning. If you defy me again, I assure you, the consequences will be far worse." "All right, I understand," Cecilia said quickly, her voice trembling with urgency. "I won't contact anyone else. Please, just don't hurt my children."

The distorted voice responded, seemingly appeased. "Good. Follow my instructions and come to the location I specified."

Cecilia did as told, knowing full well that heading to the location meant stepping into undeniable danger. Yet, her maternal instincts overpowered any concern for her own safety. Saving her children was the only thing that mattered now. Steeling herself, she stepped into a waiting taxi and gave the driver the destination.

Cecilia switched vehicles multiple times, following the directions given by the mysterious caller. The caller was meticulous and wouldn't allow her any chance to reach out for help.
