Chapter 385
After Sarah's rescue at the stables, Vivian had furiously bought the horse Sarah had been riding
and had it brutally killed.
After the Luther incident, those people who she had hired to plan and carry out the incident at the
Luthers, she had them beaten half to death.
Such ruthless methods were beyond Charlotte's capability!
She wiped her tears and tossed her phone aside. Now she could only rely on one person - James.
Before leaving home, she'd deliberately left something for James's mother to find. Perhaps she
would see it soon.
At the Chancer house, Mrs. Chancer was having dinner. She hadn't seen Charlotte all day, though
she'd caught several glimpses of James. "Where's Charlotte? Haven't seen her today."
James's expression darkened. "She went back to her parent's house."
Mrs. Chancer gave James a long look. "You will protect Charlotte, won't you?" Only after receiving
his firm nod did she feel relieved.
Walking into the living room, she noticed a paper on the side table. Opening it, she discovered it was Charlotte's
prenatal report.

Charlotte had used a private doctor, and the report included the baby's gender. Mrs. Chancer lost her composure
after just one glance.
She immediately took the report to James, throwing it down in front of him.
"James! Have you been mistreating Charlotte?"
"No, of course not!"
Mrs. Chancer rushed on, "I don't care! Go bring Charlotte back immediately - she's carrying your son, my
grandson!"
James frowned meaningfully, then slowly told his mother about what Sarah and Charlotte had said.
Mrs. Chancer froze at first, taking a full two minutes to process before responding urgently, "We must protect
that child! At any cost!"
She gritted her teeth, her fists clenched tight. "James, at any cost."
She seemed to be speaking both to James and to herself.
At the mental hospital, Lucy had just taken her medication. The moment the nurse turned her back, she spat it
out,
She had been enduring this routine for days, but she couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she lay down to rest,
someone called her name.
"Lucy, you have a visitor."
A visitor? Who could it be?
Lucy's heart leaped with hope. The only ones who might visit her were James, her parents, or perhaps Vivian.
She hurried out, excitement lighting up her face, only to find that her visitor was indeed her mother.
"Mom! Why did it take you so long to come?" Lucy's voice cracked with emotion as she looked at her
mother.
She had waited endlessly, first in the detention center and now in the hospital. She believed deep
down that her mother would eventually cfor her and take her away from this nightmare.
Seeing her daughter's skinny frame, Lucy's mother felt a pang in her chest, her nose stinging as her
eyes turned red. "Lucy, | know you've suffered."
"Mom, are you here to takehome?" Lucy asked, her eyes wide with desperate hope, her
expression pitiful as she stared at her mother.
Avoiding Lucy's gaze, Mrs. Chancer reached into her bag and pulled out Charlotte's medical report.
She handed it to Lucy. "Lucy, take a look at this first.”
"What's this?" Lucy unfolded the paper and scanned it. Her eyes landed on the gender section,
where she lingered. Her brow furrowed. "Mom, she's pregnant with a boy?"
Her mother nodded, relief flickering in her expression. "When James was with Sarah, there wasn't
even a whisper of news. And now? It's a boy."
Then her mother's gaze turned complicated, a mixture of emotions flashing in her eyes as she
looked at Lucy. That expression sent a chill down Lucy's spine.
"Mom, why are you looking atlike that?" she asked, fear creeping into her voice.
