He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 463

Kate saved the recording for Henry and put her phone on the table. She patted her baby’s back while allowing him to feed until Theo was full.

He stopped sucking and fell asleep again.

Kate smiled at her very obedient son. She wondered if Theo was emotionally connected with her so he didn’t cry that much on the road.

She carefully put Theo on the bed, then checked her bag.

Dahlia had prepared all the baby necessities, so she didn’t need to worry, and she also ensured that Kate had everything she needed for a while.

"Thanks for everything, Dahlia," Kate murmured as she walked to the bathroom to take a shower. It had been two days since her last bath. It made her wonder how Henry could kiss her when she was very dirty and sweaty after labor.

Kate turned on the shower and closed her eyes as the water washed over her grief. She wondered if she should send the voice notes she made just now.

She thought disappearing without a trace and news might be good, but Henry would go crazy thinking that Kate had been kidnapped, so she had to clarify her departure.

’Henry, please don’t try to find me. I don’t know how to face you after what I did,’ Kate wished, though she knew deep down that Henry would find her eventually.

She just had to prepare herself when that time came.

Kate finished her shower after a while and rested right next to her son.

She caressed her son’s cheek and whispered, "Theo, I’m sorry I stripped you away from your father. Please don’t hate me once you know the truth. Mom just wants the best for all of us."

Kate closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after. She woke up at dawn when she heard Theo’s cries.

She took care of her son first before she checked her phone.

As expected, she had a lot of calls and texts from Chloe. Chloe was worried that something had happened to Kate because Kate usually replied to her texts in less than five minutes.

Kate smiled bitterly and nodded, "It’s time to end it all."

Kate sent all of the voice messages she prepared last night but not to Henry.

Her thumb hovered above the send button. She kept thinking and thinking until she finally pressed it after realizing it was too late to turn back.

She ensured that all the voice messages were sent before she took out her SIM card and flushed it to the toilet.

Now, she could start anew without having to read all the messages from her family that would make her hesitate.

"This is it. I have to start anew now."

Kate didn’t want to dilly-dally. She knew it was only time until Henry woke up and inquired about her location.

Who knew whether Dahlia would falter or not? She might pity her son and decide to tell Henry about Kate’s whereabouts.

So she packed up everything again and checked out of the hotel.

She ordered a taxi early in the morning and decided to plan her escape route.

As for now, she would hop from one hotel to another until she could find a place to rent in a smaller city, and from then on, she would continue hopping until she found a good city where she could stay for a long time.

Of course, she should also be careful because this was a new city, and she had nobody here except her newborn. So, she emphasized the safety of her new place.

But, in the end, the choice had been made.

She would be gone forever, away from Henry and her family.

There was a commotion in the hospital where Henry was hospitalized. He was still sleeping due to the heavy anesthesia injected into his body, but everyone gathered at the door, anxiously waiting for confirmation while Dahlia stood on her ground, guarding Henry’s door.

"What is this, Madam? You told me you would escort Kate to Vernon’s mansion, but why did she send me this voice message?!" Michael asked as he panicked. He couldn’t imagine how broken Henry would be after he woke up and realized Kate and Theo were nowhere to be found.

...

Dahlia kept her silence despite facing Chloe, Mai, and Michael at the same time.

"Dahlia, I’ve checked the mansion’s CCTV and saw you packing all her stuff before leaving. There is no sign of Kate returning to the mansion after that," Chloe said. "Please tell us where she is."

"Yes, Madam! We’re worried sick here!" Mai raised her voice, thinking about how vulnerable Kate was with her baby right now. "Oh God, what if something happened to her?!"

Dahlia could vouch that Kate was safe. Her bodyguard followed her closely and reported that Kate was driving around Maine to find another hotel she could stay at.

If her guess was right, Kate would probably continue to jump from one hotel to another until she found a suitable place to stay.

"Madam, please answer us!" Michael pressed. He rarely panicked, but after listening to Kate’s voice message, his heart was crushed, knowing he couldn’t protect Kate enough to give her the safety she needed.

Probably, a mix of shock and fear made her do this.

"I don’t know," Dahlia replied calmly. Her eyes were still as if she was just talking about casual stuff. "She begged me that she wants to leave, and no matter what I do to persuade her, she said this is the best way to stop Sarah."

Dahlia knew that Kate wouldn’t simply leave. Kate wanted to ensure her family wouldn’t be worried about her.

"She doesn’t want her child to be constantly surrounded by bodyguards, constantly being watched, and in fear. She wants Theo to grow as a normal boy," Dahlia said. "On top of that, she wants Henry to focus on bettering himself rather than always protecting her. It’s her wish, and you know how stubborn she can be."
