Just as Elizabeth reached the stairs, Cathy ran up from downstairs and extended her hand to block her path: "Eliza, you are pregnant right now, so don't run around."
Elizabeth's face paled. Only now did she suddenly remember that she was pregnant, and her entire person became somewhat dejected. "My aunt was kidnapped. I don't know how to save her."
"I understand your desire to save her, but now, you can't just save her in a hurry, you have to believe that Joshua won't just stand by and do nothing. Behind you is the entire Wayne Family, what are you afraid of!" Cathy walked over to her side and advised her in an anxious voice.
Elizabeth heard what she said, and it was true that she couldn't do anything about it.
"Go sit downstairs and wait. Joshua will be here shortly!" Cathy comforted her and patted her arm.
Elizabeth walked down the stairs step by step. Recently, because her pregnancy reaction was too big, she had lost a lot of weight, and looking at her made people's hearts ache.
Fiona also walked in from outside. Seeing Elizabeth and Cathy, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Can I make a call?" Elizabeth simply could not sit still. She still wanted to find out about the situation of her aunt being tied up.
Right now, the only person who could solve her problem was Barry. Her aunt was his wife, so the kidnapper might be related to him.
Cathy shrugged her shoulders, "It should be fine to make a phone call. Joshua also did not specifically say for it, who do you want to call?"
"Call my aunt's husband. I want to hear about his situation!" Elizabeth was not so heartless. She could not calm down now either. Her aunt had helped her grow up, and seeing the photo of her being tied to the chair, it was as if a knife was stabbing into her heart. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You can ask!" Cathy gave her the phone, Elizabeth remembered Barry's number, and quickly dialed his.
Barry picked up the phone. Upon hearing that it was Elizabeth, he scolded her: "You still are not ashamed to call me? Your mom is already tied up, where are you?"
"Did the gangsters call you? Did they say that they would release her once the money was paid? They won't do anything to my aunt will they?" Elizabeth did not care about Barry's rebuke, and only asked urgently.
"Oh, right. She's not your mother, she's your aunt. You can ignore her life and death now, right?" Barry was still ridiculing her.
"Don't say that. If I don't care about her, why should I call you? Please tell me how things are progressing, I'm really worried!" Elizabeth was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Who knows what's going on right now? The gang hasn't called me yet, maybe it's related to you and April Jones again. Didn't you also almost get tied up the last two times? You're already safe. Your aunt won't be so lucky. Now that they're alerting the police, giving them money might not even be useful, and the gang might really kill her. It’s pitiful to my two sons who are so young, Elizabeth, if this matter is related to you two. I will definitely not let you off!" Barry was also out of sorts at the moment, and was flustered and exasperated, but he actually blamed all of it on Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard that the gangsters did not contact Barry, her heart sank into the valley in an instant.
Barry did not speak any further with her, and immediately hung up in anger.
