Chapter 1283
At the hospital, Elizabeth busts open the door of the ward, screaming in panic, “Someone, come quick! My son is
gone!”
Her voice echoed throughout the entire special VIP floor.
Doctors and nurses immediately rushed over, confused by the empty room. Elizabeth grabbed hold of a doctor and
shook him hard. “Where’s my son?!”
The doctor replied awkwardly, “Madam, I…uh…I really have no idea…”
Elizabeth glared at him. “My child has gone missing in your hospital. What are we going to do?”
“Madam, how could Mr. Harper just disappear? He probably went somewhere… Let’s check the surveillance.”
The footage showed Damon leaving the hospital and never returning.
Elizabeth’s face turned ashen as she tried calling Damon again, only to find his phone was off. “This is giving me a
headache! Where the hell did he go?!” As Elizabeth returned to the ward, she saw Nathan sneaking out of Damon’s
room.
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes. “Nathan, stop right there!”
Nathan‘ stopped instantly. He slowly turned around, plastering a smile on his face. “Mom, what are you doing
here?”
Elizabeth looked at him irritably. “Cut the crap, what were you doing sneaking around? Where’s your brother?”
Nathan looked lost. “My brother’s missing? I didn’t see him in the ward, I thought he went for a walk.”
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you doing this on purpose? You were here last night. Now you’re playing

“…I fell asleep last night, and when I woke up, he was gone…”
Elizabeth felt a twitch in her eyelid, and she smacked Nathan several times. “You’re an adult, yet you can’t even
keep an eye on your brother! Why did I even give birth to you? What good are you!?”
Nathan was tall and lanky, but hunched over, protecting his head from the blows, crying out in pain. “Ouch, Mom!
Stop…”
Was he born to look after his brother?
“My brother’s a grown man, what could possibly happen to him?”
“Your brother…he’s injured! What if he accidentally hurts himself? You guys are driving me insane…” As Elizabeth
got more and more frustrated, she continued to hit Nathan. Nathan just took the hits, enduring his mother’s
onslaught.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch…”
Even though she was hitting Nathan, she knew how hard to hit. She knew her son could easily avoid her if he
wanted to.
So, even if Presley sometimes drove her crazy, she would still tolerate it. Because the other three men in the house
doted on her and always sided with her.
Sometimes she couldn’t stand it and had arguments with Presley, and she knew it was wrong to treat her elders
this way. She could tolerate anything, but not when it came to her happiness and her children’s happiness.
Whether other people called her selfish or ungrateful, if anyone tried to hinder their happiness, she would never
agree!
Finally, when she was too tired to continue, she let Nathan go. “Tell me! Where the hell did your brother go?”
Nathan cradled his aching arm, looking pitiful. “I honestly don’t know…”
Elizabeth glared at him and said irritably, “Where does Chloe live now?”
Nathan was taken aback. “…Why are you asking me that? How would I know?”
Elizabeth raised her hand again, and Nathan immediately jumped to the side.
But then Elizabeth blinked, and her sly expression made one wonder what she was thinking, then she lowered her
hand. “Forget it.”
Nathan sometimes really didn’t understand what his mother was thinking. “What do you mean forget it?”
Elizabeth huffed, “If he dies, it’s his own damn fault!”
Nathan was speechless. He really didn’t understand what his mother was thinking!
Elizabeth entered the ward, grabbed her bag, and left. “There’s breakfast in the room, eat it all!”
“…Okay.”
After breakfast, Chloe and Rose left together.
“Pregnant women shouldn’t go shopping too much!” Yasmine warned before they left.
“We’re not going shopping. I felt a bit uncomfortable yesterday, so I’m going to the hospital to get it checked out
with Chloe.”
Hearing this, Yasmine frowned. “What’s going on? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll go with you!” Even though her
tone was a bit harsh, it was clear she was worried.

Rose quickly waved her hand. “Chloe is going with me! I don’t want to trouble you!”
Yasmine looked serious. “Then hurry and go! Let me know the results as soon as you get them.”
“Alright.”
Rose smiled and waved at Yasmine, leaving with Chloe. Unsurprisingly, as soon as they left, a pair of bodyguards
followed them in two cars.
Chloe didn’t mind. She couldn’t forget what happened in West Valley. Someone was really out to get her, and she
couldn’t let her guard down. Although the bodyguards were a bit conspicuous, it was better than putting herself in
danger.
“Are those bodyguards from Ms. Yasmine or Damon?”
“Both.” Chloe’s voice was calm, her expression indifferent, but Rose could tell she was thinking about something.
“I heard about what happened in West Valley from Elizabeth, but I assume you didn’t tell your mom, right? I can
understand why Damon would arrange bodyguards for you, but why would Ms. Yasmine?”
Rose always believed in Yasmine’s abilities. If she wanted to know something, she would.
This situation was clearly not as simple as it seemed, but it appeared that Yasmine and Chloe hadn’t had a real
heart–to–heart about it.
On Rose’s questioning, Chloe clamped her mouth shut without a word. Her eyes seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Rose looked at Chloe, at her thoughtful expression, and felt a sense of relief inside.
Her bestie was wicked smart. She couldn’t believe that something she could see so clearly, Chloe wouldn’t get. She
took a deep breath, then leaned back in her chair with a relaxed look on her face.
“Look at us, we’re like two peas in a pod, even getting knocked up at the same time! All I’m hoping for now is that
you don’t end up with a boy like me. Otherwise, our kids won’t stand a chance of tying the knot.”
