"No --" Essie screamed hysterically. A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth and stained Zac's shirt red.

"Essie!" Zac's face was pale and nervous. The bright red blood stung his eyes. Looking at her mental breakdown, he felt a sharp pain in his chest like a fire, and at the same time, he was panic and fearful. There were too many things in her life that she couldn't bear. He was afraid that she would collapse because of this.

"My little fool, I know you can't accept it. But you still have Mili, Dot and me. You have to be strong for us." He caressed her face, kissed her, and comforted her in a hoarse voice.

Essie didn't move, like a wooden man, turning a blind eye to it and ignoring it. She was completely trapped in her own painful state.

Her eyes widened, and tears fell down from them like broken beads. She clenched her fists. Her fingernails were deeply embedded in her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain, because the pain in her heart had covered everything.

Walt was not far away. His eyes darkened. If it weren't for Leila's hold, he would have fallen down. He couldn't believe that the child he had been looking forward to was gone.

Immersed in their own pain, no one noticed him. Worried that he would lose control, Leila pulled him out and said, "Let's leave first and let Essie and Zac calm down alone."

Walt turned around stiffly and stumbled outside. He needed a place to cry out.

In the car, Walt grabbed Leila's neck and asked, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Leila grabbed his hand and tried to break it off, but he was too strong. She could not do so. "I... I am most afraid of the fierce ghost in red How dare I make use of her? " she explained with difficulty, almost suffocating.

Walt relaxed his hand. "Aren't you still dreaming of being the hostess of our family?"

"A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. And if I don't want to be the hostess, I'm not a good daughter in law either. Is there anything wrong if I want to be the hostess? And I did this for you. " Leila curled her lips.

"You'd better have nothing to do with it, or I will let you die with my child," Walt warned harshly.

"I've only been in the Rong Mansion for a few days. How could I know there is a secret passage?" Leila snorted, "In fact, everyone knows who did it, but no one dares to say anything without conclusive evidence."

Walt cast a sidelong glance at her. He and Zac didn't know that there was a secret passage in the family, let alone her, a member of the Qin family who had never been allowed to enter the family. The only person who could know was his mother.

"I didn't expect her to be so vicious." He gritted his teeth.

"It's not surprising that mother-in-law hates her daughter in law and kills her. There are already many news about the examples on TV. Mother-in-law quarrels with daughter in law, and mother-in-law kills the latter. Besides, there is mother-in-law hated their daughter-in-law so much that she took it out on the grandson

That day, after she ran out of the secret passage, she hid in a col near the horse farm. The security guards found her whereabouts and chased her. She jumped into the waterfall in a hurry. When the security guards picked her up, she was already out of breath.

"You and director Liu should interrogate all the people who have contacted her. You must find out who instigated her." Murderous look appeared on Zac's cold face. This time, no matter who it was, he would not let go!

Not long after William left, Lucy and Bob came with the children.

The couples felt so sorry for their daughter.

"I knew it. That vicious woman, Mary wouldn't let go of Essie. She is so vicious that she won't let go of her grandson for the position of hostess," Lucy said while wiping her tears.

Taking a look at Zac, Bob said, "Your mother and I have reached an agreement. After Essie is discharged from the hospital, she will sit her month in our home. We will take care of her. We can't trust others."

How could Zac not understand what he meant?

"Dad, mom, I'm sorry. I didn't protect Essie well this time." He felt guilty and sorry.

Waving her hand, Essie said, "It's none of your business. I was too reckless to go in alone." No matter how strong he was, he was still a mortal, not a God. Without three heads, six arms and avatar skill, he couldn't stay by her side and watch her twenty-four hours a day.

Lucy held her daughter in her arms and said, "It's easy to dodge an open gun, but difficult to dodge an arrow in secret. Someone is scheming to kill you. Even if you dodge this time, you may not be able to escape next time."

"It won't happen again," Zac said firmly. His patience had exceeded his limit and he could no longer tolerate that person.

Lucy glanced at him and said nothing. What could he do? Was he going to uphold justice at the cost of his mother? A narrow-minded and petty woman like Mary would trample on her as long as she regarded her as an enemy. She wouldn't stop until she killed her.
