Chapter 574 âI didnât ask for leave. So, Itâs only right that I return to the studio.â Natalieâs phone started ringing as soon as she got in the car.
The identity of the caller astonished her.
âItâs Lydia. Maybe she has changed her mind.â
Immediately, Natalie picked up the phone and said, âLydia, whatâs up?â
On the phone, the wind was so fierce that it seemed to be blowing in the open air. Lydiaâs voice was muddled and hard to make out.
âSpeak louder! Iâm having difficulty hearing you.â Natalie felt uneasy about something.
Lydia pleaded, âPlease, Natalie, help me rescue my child! Two men abducted her!â
Then the call was disconnected!
âLydia! Hello?â Natalie looked at her phone and saw the call had disconnected.
Lydiaâs words froze her heart. She leaped out of the car and ran back towards the hospital.
âSlow down! You might trip yourself. Letâs find out whatâs going on first.â ɳÏÊÒ½Ê ÏÈ¥.ÆÏɱ Brandon called to her from behind. âLydia said that two men stole her baby.â Suddenly, something occurred to Natalie. She turned to Brandon saying, âIs... Is the Larson Group involved? Is it your plan?â
Brandon shook his head. âI wouldnât let anyone do such a thing.â
He might have been unscrupulous sometimes, but on principle, he would never hurt the weak, especially a new mother.
Just as Natalie began to get really nervous, one of the crowd suddenly looked up and shouted, âIs that a person standing up there? On the rooftop of the hospital?â âOh my God! I think itâs a woman!â
Natalie raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked up at the rooftop. She could just about make out a woman.
âItâs Lydia. Sheâs going to jump,â said Brandon nodding his head.
He calmly pulled out his phone and called the police. He explained what was going on and gave them the hospitalâs address.
Natalie was frightened. What should she do first? Find the baby or try and save Lydia? Her head was all a mess and she didnât know.
Brandon disconnected his phone and saw Natalie was still in a daze. He turned to her and said, âLetâs save Lydia first. The baby will be okay for now.
They wonât hurt her, not if they took her to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten Lydia with.â
Natalie nodded. As they headed up to the rooftop to try and talk Lydia down, she found there was already a crowd of onlookers building up.
âI know her! Thatâs the woman whose husband was shot yesterday! Why is she trying to kill herself?â âHasnât she just had a baby? Oh my god thatâs so sad!â âI heard the Larson Group have been silencing public opinion. I guess they pushed her too far.â
The people around were talking about Lydia and the Larson Group, but none of them were thinking of trying to help her. How cold could they get?
As Natalie was about to lose her temper, Brandon grabbed her shoulder, saying, âCalm down. Lydia and Jethro have been all over the news. If you get all emotional and say the wrong thing, the media will put it all on you.â
Natalie tried her best to control her temper and shouted, âFor pityâs sake, please put down your phones and stop filming. Sheâs just given birth! Have some compassion! Her poor emotions have taken a battering! Please donât make this any worse than it already is.â
After talking the crowd down, Natalie and Brandon rushed to the rooftop together.
There was already a group of doctors and nurses talking to Lydia up there.
Lydia shouted to be heard over the bleak wind, âIf you donât give my baby back, Iâll jump.â
She stepped over the railing and was about to fall. It looked like a gust of wind might blow her over the edge. Scared as she was, Natalie asked a nurse beside her, âWhat happened to Lydiaâs baby?â
The nurse replied anxiously, âI donât know. Someb*ody went in to see Lydia, and then the baby disappeared. It happened during the lunch break. I was off shift, and no one got a good look at the person who did it.â
Natalie moved closer to Lydia, standing at the edge of the roof, and said, âCome down, please. Weâll find your baby and make sure she returns to you.â
Lydiaâs eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Natalie and shook her head. âYou took my baby away. Donât deny it!â
Lydia saw Brandon in the crowd and immediately became more agitated. She asked him in a sharp voice, âBrandon, why are you doing this to me? Iâll jump now.â âNo!â Everyone on the rooftop shouted at the same time, trying to stop her. Every move she made tore at their heart strings.
With a tense look on his face, Brandon said, enunciating clearly, âI didnât tell anyone to steal your baby. The Larson Group would never do anything to hurt women and children.â

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 âWell, your brute killed my husband, and now you want to kill me and my daughter.â Lydia looked at Brandon, numb with hatred.
She stood at the edge of the rooftop and, with no emotion in her voice, said, âIâm asking you for the last time. Give me back my baby or Iâll jump! I want everyone to know the Larson Groupâs true colors.â
The wind blew, making Lydia tremble and she almost fell off the building.
âLydia, please calm down!â
Holding her breath, Natalie calmed herself and took two steps forward. She was still a fair distance from Lydia, but she stretched out her hand and said, âYou can come back down now. Your baby will be back soon.â
Looking at Natalieâs clean, slender hand, Lydia was entranced. âReally?â
Natalie nodded and gave her a smile. âI told you, I like your daughter a lot. Sheâs very cute. Trust me. Sheâll be back.â
