SWNOVELS Departure with a Belly Chapter 427
Chapter 427
Alaric swore to look into Bane’s situation for Victoria, including Ethan’s injuries.
His men worked fast.
The next morning, she received the latest update on Bane’s condition; he was hurt
whereas Ethan had vanished.
“Vanished?” Victoria had a bad feeling when she heard that. Back when she was with
Bane, Ethan had vanished for a few days and only reappeared when she asked after
him. He had been severely injured back then.
She knew he was suffering from multiple injuries, but she did not know the details of
those injuries.
It was not like she could pull his shirt up to check his wounds.
Later on, he let her go and even brought her to freedom. He would be met with no
mercy from Bane when he returned.
I wonder how is he doing now?

Bane was also injured. Would that infuriate Bane further? Would he end up venting out
his anger on Ethan?
Chapter 427 Well Rescue Him Somehow
We are not in our home country. What if…
When that possibility popped up in her mind, she instinctively shot to her feet.
Alaric grabbed her hand. “Don’t panic just yet.”
His reminder made her pause and bite her lip. He was right. There was no use
panicking. What could she even do to help?
“What do we do now?”
Her only option was to seek his opinion.
He pressed his lips together. “He helped you, so that means he helped me. Don’t worry.
I’ll rescue him somehow.”
Terrance forced a smile on his face.
“Yes, Miss Selwyn. Don’t worry. We’ll keep finding a way.”
She glanced at them before nodding.
“I’ll leave him to you.”
Two days had passed, yet there was no news of Ethan.

He seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Victoria lost her appetite due to her worry.
For the past five years, Ethan was a constant presence by her side.

‘I’ve been instructed by Mr. Morison to drive you home, Miss Selwyn. When do you clock
off?‘
‘Mr. Morison asked me to bring this to you. Let me know when you’re free so that I can
deliver it to you.‘
‘Miss Selwyn, please leave the items to me. I’m here to help. If you refuse to let me carry
anything, Mr. Morison will admonish me.‘
‘It’s raining today, Miss Selwyn. Remember to bring an umbrella with you. It’s also a very
cold day. Please put on a few more layers.’
Her memories of Ethan swam before her eyes, making them go red.
While he would always say he was doing it because Bane told him to, he had frankly
helped her a lot. The last time they saw each other, the help he provided was the
greatest ever.
If not for him, she would still be locked away.
The sight of her red rimmed eyes made Torrance nervous. He began to panic. “Don’t be upset, Miss Sehvyn. Since he rescued you, he must have been ready for whatever
would happen to him. He knew what the consequences would be, so…”
His voice drifted off. The more he spoke, the worse his words seemed to sound,
The air suddenly felt heavy.
Alaric was annoyed to see her upset over someone else. The hands hanging down by
his sides clenched into fists before eventually relaxing once more.
“Don’t worry. Sometimes, no news is good news. At the very least, it’s not bad news,
right?” Alaric said.
“Mr. Cadogan is right,” Terrance promptly agreed. “No news is actually the best news.
Don’t worry. We’ll keep up the search and rescue him the moment we find him. We’ll do
our very best!”
Despite their fervent attempts to reassure her, her mood did not improve at all. She
continued to lean against the window to blankly stare out into the distance.
She just did not get it. How did everything change so drastically? Everyone had been
going about their days as usual. The situation was now worse than hell.
“What is it, Mommy?”
Chapter 427 We’ll Rescue Him Somehow
Her children’s voices pulled her mind back to the room.
She turned around to find the kids staring at her with worried eyes.
“Nate. Nicky.”
The two of them immediately darted over to cling to her sides.
“You’ve been very sad lately, Mommy.”

Yes… I am free now. Why am I still so upset? Well, it’s likely because I do not have any
closure yet.
However, there was no way she could let her distress show in front of her children.
Thus, she forced a smile on her face. “Oh, it’s nothing. I was merely lost in my thoughts.
I’m not upset. Did I worry you?”
The children glanced at each other instead of answering her.
Nicole shuffled closer to her and softly asked, “Will we never see Mr. Bane again,
Mommy?”
Victoria froze from shock at the sudden question. “What?”
Her heart skipped with fright when she heard that. She had not expected the children
to mention Bane’s name.
Chapter 427 Well Rescue Him Somehow
Thinking Victoria had not heard her, Nicole repeated her question.
“Mommy, will we never see Mr. Bane again? Did Mr. Bane do something bad to
Mommy?”
Victoria was at a loss for words.
She looked down at the girl leaning against her. For a moment, she did not have an
answer in mind.
Nathan was a smarter kid. When he heard Nicole repeat her question, he immediately
dragged her away from Victoria.
“Nicole, let’s not pester Mommy about her business,” he said.
He then moved as if to drag her out of the room.
Victoria stopped them.

“The two of you are my precious babies. You only need to ask if you wish to know about
something. There is nothing I won’t answer. Nate, I know you’re always being
considerate of my feelings, but you are a child. You don’t have to prioritize my feelings
every time, okay?”
“Mommy…”

“All right.” She pinched their cheeks and gently continued, “I now have an actual answer
for the question you asked just now. I do not know if we can ever see Mr. Bane again,
but I can tell you that he has fallen sick. Perhaps we’ll see him again when he gets
better.”
Sick?
“When will he get better, Mommy?” Nicole asked.

Her innocent question was another difficult question for Victoria to answer.
“I’m not too sure, but I know he will get better,” she eventually said.
One had to have hope, right? She personally wanted Bane to get better soon. That way,
life would be normal once more.
