Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)

Chapter 1083 She's Pregnant With Jamie's Child

The message was so shocking that Jamie and Narissa were rooted to the spot.

Both of them knew the ins and outs of life, so they instantly realized that Alicia was pregnant. Jamie's ears started buzzing as he felt the world spinning around him. He knew that since Alicia was pregnant, Narissa would never forgive him.

Moments later, Narissa let out a breath, as though she was finally relieved. She broke the silence by saying, "Let's save her first."

Jamie's mind had turned blank as he dazedly followed the woman.

Narissa drove the car as fast as she could, but the place where Alicia was in captivity was remote. As such, it took them over 40 minutes to arrive somewhere near the destination. She pulled up at the last junction.

"We'll take action separately. You'll divert his attention while I'll try to save her.”

With that, she unfastened the seat belt and left the car. Jamie did as he was told and drove to a dilapidated factory area. After getting out of the vehicle, he took a look at the seven-story building and ran toward the stairwell. The next moment, he bumped into an anxious Paul.

As they exchanged glances, they confirmed that both of them were there to save Alicia. Therefore, they hastened their pace and darted toward the fifth floor.

The moment Paul arrived, he saw that Alicia's hands had been tied up in the distance. She was hung between two floors.

There was probably some sort of large equipment in the building in the past. From the first floor to the top floor, the entire center of the building was hollow. The gap between both sides was about nine feet.

If the ropes above Alicia snapped, she would fall from the sixth floor to the cement ground on the first floor. There was no way she would survive.

Paul tried to pull her closer to him, but he was unable to do that, as the woman was far away. "Don't fret, Alicia! I'm going to save you now and put you down! Don't be afraid!"

"Stop right there! If you dare step forward, I'll cut off the ropes right away!"

Just as Paul was ready to save his sister, a man appeared on the top floor all of a sudden. He held out a knife and targeted the ropes above Alicia.

The man was wearing a baseball cap, a face mask, and a down jacket with a hood. Despite the concealment, Paul could recognize his voice.

"Gale, if you dare harm Alicia, I'll never let you off!"

"Haha. It seems that you've learned your lesson. You could recognize me so soon. Anyway, I'll settle the score with you another time. Your parents passed away a long time ago. As your elder cousin, I'm supposed to take care of you two. I'll stand up for you this time. There is a report and a steel rod beside the column on your left. Pick them up.”

Alicia repeatedly shook her head in an attempt to stop him from getting the report. However, since her mouth was covered with duct tape, she was unable to speak at all. She could only whimper, but that only made her look miserable.

Paul was heartbroken. Without hesitation, he went over and picked them up. Then, he glared at Gale, who was on the top floor. "They're in my hands now. What next?"

"That's your sister's medical report. Don't you want to know what illness she suffers from?" Gale's words were laced with underlying meanings.

"What's there to look at? She does yoga or goes to the gym every day. She's healthier than me. How is it possible that she's ill? What are you up to? Cut to the chase and make it clear to me. If you still don't let her down, she'll be in danger!" Paul growled.

"You—" Gale had the urge to scold him. However, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his fury before ordering, "Just take a look at the result!"

An impatient Paul turned to the last page and read out the outcome, "HCG test, positive.”

Jamie's heart sank as his expression darkened.

Nevertheless, Paul didn't get it. After closing the report, he looked innocently at Gale. "What is an HCG test?"

Unable to take it anymore, Gale yelled through clenched teeth, "You fool! Will you only understand if I spell everything out for you? Alicia is pregnant with Jamie's child!"

"What did you just say?" Paul's face froze as he turned to stare at Jamie in a dazed state. He needed confirmation from him.

A regretful Jamie blamed himself and hung his head low. He wouldn't dare look Paul in the eye. Paul glanced at him before shifting his attention to Alicia, whose tears were already sliding down her face.

It's no wonder Narissa broke up with Jamie. She found out about it long ago! This b*stard has hurt the two women he loves!

"B*stard!"

When Paul came to his senses, he struck Jamie with a fist. Blood streamed out of Jamie's mouth, but he didn't intend to counterattack. He just stood there and appeared ready to take a beating.

"Hit me back! What are you waiting for? Fight me like a man!"

Despite knowing that he was no match for the man, Paul didn't want to take advantage of him.

On the other hand, Jamie just stood there and looked dazedly at him. "I'm in the wrong, so you have every reason to beat me. Why would I hit you back?"

He felt that the harder Paul punched him, the less guilty he would be. With that said, he knew that the sense of guilt would come back to haunt him again.

"Do you think I don't have the guts to kill you?" Paul balled up his fists and clenched his teeth.

An elated Gale fanned the flames. "Way to go! As Alicia's brother, you're supposed to act like one and teach the sc*mbag a lesson. You mustn't go easy on him. I've prepared the steel rod for you. Hit him with it!"

Paul was hesitant. He knew that Jamie wouldn't counterattack, so he didn't want to take advantage of him at that moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you have the heart to do that? Why don't you ask Jamie if he'll accept Alicia?" Gale continued to instigate him.

Paul held the steel rod and stared at Jamie, trying to find a reason to let him off. However, it seemed as though Jamie was determined to get himself killed. He confirmed Gale's speculation by saying determinedly, "I'm sorry!”

"How can you do that to her? How dare you?"

Paul had never even told Alicia off before, but Jamie treated her like she was worth nothing. Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he raised the steel rod and struck Jamie with it. Despite his fury, he was rational enough to know he mustn't kill the man.

Jamie eventually collapsed to the ground, and Paul stopped hitting him. He pressed the steel rod against the floor to support his own weight and glared at the man.

Meanwhile, Jamie was paralyzed on the ground while looking at the ceiling. His heavy breathing suggested that he was badly injured.

I think I've done enough. Gale probably won't grow suspicious, Paul thought.

Nevertheless, Gale was displeased. He pointed the knife at him and ordered, "Who told you to stop? Hit him in the head until he's dead! If you don't do that, your sister will be the one going to hell!" Once Jamie is dead, Paul will go to jail. None of them will get away from it! That's the price they have to pay for ruining my life! Gale laughed like a mad person.
