"Okay, I'll tell grandpa. Where are you now? I'll come and pick you up." He repeated his question.
"I don't know."
"Put on someone beside you. You have no idea how worried I've been. I searched every inch of the sea."
"Adam, I... I have to go now. I'm safe, so is the baby. I'll go to the hospital to have an examination in a few days. Don't worry about me."
She had to hang up now.
"Wait!" Adam was flustered.
"Adam, I'm yours, forever and always." Tracey hung up the phone, as she'd promised Amiyah.
She knew Adam could get her implicit messages.
They were leaving the port very soon, so it wouldn't help, even if he managed to locate her.
But if she could persuade Vaughn to take her to the hospital, Adam would find her more easily.
Her last words meant to reassure him than no one had done anything to her.
Adam was smart enough to decipher her subtext.
"Amiyah, I didn't tell him where I am."
"Can you stay now?"
"Even if I stay, my heart is with him. I want to go to the hospital in the next port to give my baby an examination."
"I need to make sure falling into the water didn't affect it."
"I can take you to the hospital now." Amiyah knew Tracey cared about the baby very much.
Tracey looked toward the port and said, "No. This town is too small. I'll wait until we arrive at a larger port where there is a more advanced hospital"
"Sorry to cause you trouble. I just want the best for my baby."
Amiyah didn't deem her fastidious. She actually appreciated her for being so cooperative these days.
Tracey had never been picky about her food. Today was the first time that she'd refused her meal.
Amiyah knew her request was reasonable.
"I understand you, but this is a pirate ship. We can't anchor at big ports. It's very dangerous."
"My bad," Tracey ventured, "Since that's the case, could you go off with me and take me to a bigger hospital by car so something? I haven't been on the land for many days."
