Chapter 98 After dropping Delaney off at the hospital , the sound of my voice crying out on the floor kept playing in Beckett's mind . It unsettled him . The unease that had been simmering in his gut was getting harder to ignore . Frowning , he reached for his phone . Before he could dial , Delaney cried out . " Beckett … it hurts so much ! " She leaned into him , fragile and trembling . Instinctively , he wrapped his arms around her . " The doctor already treat you , why are you still in pain ? " } Tears welled up in her eyes . She clutched her stomach , wincing . " My belly hurts so bad … what if something happens to the baby ? " " I really want to apologize to Evelyn . I didn't expect her to get that angry , " she added . " Beckett's jaw clenched . " I've spoiled her too much - that's why she's been acting out . Don't worry . I'll call her and straighten her out . " But just as he unlocked his phone , hesitation flickered across his face . He remembered what he'd done - shoving my hand into that pot of boiling soup … and walking away like it was nothing . I was eight months pregnant . Even he couldn't pretend that was okay . " I already punished her for you . That burn should taught her a lesson , " he muttered , guilt slowly eating away at him . " But still … she's my wife and she's carrying my child . I should at least show some care for her ." } As he fumbled with his phone , Delaney noticed the shift in his expression . Seeing the worry on his face , Delaney was surprised that Beckett still had somne genuine care for me . A flash of bitterness crossed her eyes . " I don't know if I should tell you this , but … " she said hesitantly , voice laced with fake concern . " Evelyn might know about us and she's been sending me threatening messages . I wouldn't care if it's for me but …" } Beckett's brows knitted together . " But ? " " She said … " Delaney swallowed hard , tears welling up again . " She said she'd kill my baby . " } She burst into sobs , burying her face in his chest . " No way , " Beckett recoiled . " Evelyn might be a little hot - tempered , but she's not that kind of person . Are you sure you're not misunderstanding her ? " } His eyes studied Delaney , uncertainty flickering behind them . Delarey clenched her teeth so hard she nearly chipped a molar . Without another word , she pulled out her phone and shoved it toward him . } " Here . These are the messages Evelyn sent me . I wish I was wrong . But … " D She didn't finish her sentence . } Beckett stared at the screen , his face hardening with every message he read . One after another , they shattered the image he had of me in his mind . " She's probably extra sensitive right now because of the pregnancy , " he muttered . " But don't worry - I'll protect you . I won't let her lay a hard on you or the baby ." ] His jaw tightened . " If Evelyn really has lost it to that extent … then I'll have no choice but to kick her out so she can come to her senses . " > Delaney leaned into him , triumph burning in her eyes , their eyes locked once more as they intertwined again . They stayed in the hospital for a full week Only after the doctors confirmed nothing was wrong with her that they finally left . Beckett thought that time apart would be enough for me to cool off . He expected to find me sulking at home , maybe even apologetic . But when he got back - I was nowhere to be found . He brushed it off at first - thinking I had gone out to clear my head . But a month passed . And I never came home . The memory of my weak , trembling voice kept haunting him . Finally , Beckett cracked . He marched into the police station , ready to report me missing . After explaining everything , he was already thinking of ways to teach me a lesson . But when the officer came back with the report , it hit him like a bolt of lightning .
