Jimmy didn't hear his mother complete her words but he sure knows what her first words were. Magda broke the lock, how?
The kind of lock used in the Blake mansion was not a child's play thing. What did she use? He'd always double locked the door before leaving.
No, that's not possible. Something isn't right somewhere. “She'd escaped?” Jimmy asked. No positive action comes from someone breaking a lock in situations like that of Magda.
Then he remembered the debited amount and the words ‘evacuation’ rang afresh in his memory as he sprang up quickly.
“Yes. Magda left the house without anyone's consent. She sneaked out and took your Bugatti. What do we do now, Jimmy…? Nancy askes, her voice still shaking.
Jimmy didn't respond to her last question but hung up. He left the barracks and took an excuse for an important situation he needed to handle at home.
He started calling Magda but the latter wouldn't answer her phone. Now, he'd become restless and he was fidgeting as he got behind the wheel and drove towards the mansion.
His baby might have been tampered with. But Nancy has called Simon and Santiago as well. Charlotte was with her at home and was consoling her that everything will be alright.
They all tried calling Magda but she's not answering her phone. They tried calling Jimmy, but his contact kept showing that he was busy.
Anyways, if Magda left home, it's because she wants to hurt Jimmy for having her locked up in the room. They all have tried to talk Jimmy out of the decision but he wouldn't.
This is what happened when a scheming tongued woman married a stubborn self willed man. They both are a match for each other.
They're only worried about the offspring that Magda and Jimmy are going to make with such a combination of personality that they have.
An hour later, Santiago was home and Jimmy also arrived. He went first and examined the lock, this lock was destroyed neatly without the slightest noise, how did Magda do it?
“This wasn't done by Magda. Someone did it, from without and helped her get out. Mom, what did you do here?” Jimmy asked,after carefully examining it.
Santiago and others might not see it,but he sure saw it. A weapon was used from without. He knows Magda a little more than anyone else, she's fragile and wouldn't be able to do it.
As a military officer that has served in the army, things as expository as this, cannot be done and he wouldn't be able to find answers.
*What? I'll break the door simply because I want Magda out? You'd better look elsewhere and not in my direction,Jimmy” Nancy replied.
Insolent!
How can she condescend so low to breaking a lock in the home she's living with her children? She isn't such a senseless gullible woman.
“Mom, I know you love Magda as much as everyone else. Was just thinking you might decide to help her get out after my insistent refusal. This lock was broken from without Mom” Jimmy explained.
“Then we'll ask the other people in this house. Where are the servants? Get them all assembled here” Santiago ordered.
Nancy glanced around for Lilian who brought her the information but she stepped out. How can she just slip off knowing she saw the broken lock before anyone else.
But Jimmy was restless. He hopes everything is right as he wants to make himself believe. He hopes Magda hasn't done something silly to that pregnancy?
After all the servants were assembled, only two of them really got to work towards Jimmy's bedroom. The CCTV footage captured Lillian but suddenly went blank and back again.
They all exchanged glances. Why would the CCTV suddenly go blank and restored? Someone tampered with it. Jimmy was suspecting and others too.
“Where's Lillian?” He demanded. One of the servants went to search for her but she wasn't found. The security at the gate said Lillian stepped out with a grocery bag a few minutes ago .
“A grocery bag?” Charlotte exclaimed. When do the servants, especially Lillian, now go shopping, using a grocery bag?
“Find that woman?” Jimmy declared and was going to leave when they heard the honk of a car return. They looked out,it was Jimmy's bugatti.
They sighed for relief. They've become unnecessarily worried about Magda. Here she is, she's back. They waited for her and a few minutes later, a woman supported Magda inside the house.
She looks disheveled. She looked pale and weak. The woman was going to take her to a seat before the silent gazes of everyone when Jimmy stopped her.
He stared at Magda. His heart was beating fast. This look of Magda was such of someone that was battered and beaten. Why is she looking so weak? He hopes it is not what he is thinking?
“Hello,I found this woman by the side of the road, her body resting against the car bonnet. I went to check on her and found out that she's not feeling too well hence I brought her home ....” The stranger explained.
Everyone sighed softly and nodded. She's a good Samaritan. She'd only help her by getting her back home.
“What happened to you, Magda?” Nancy asked, walking over and helping her into the sofa. Jimmy saw how pathetic this woman is and wouldn't let her sit down first before asking a question.
“Mom..” Magda stuttered and her eyes went cloudy. She held Nancy tightly as if she was afraid of falling off any moment.
Anyways, the woman who brought her was a stranger and decided to leave. They appreciated her and Nancy said she hoped she joined them one of these days for dinner.
As soon as the woman left, Jimmy turned and cast a cold glaring gaze at Magda. He remembered the word ‘evacuation' and his heart raced within his rib cage.
He saw how tender and calm she'd become. He heard her whisper, calling his mother like a child who is afraid of being scolded.
“You're with my limitless card?” Jimmy asked, not blinking an eye. Everyone raised an eyebrow but did not interfere. They're a couple after all.
Magda nodded, realization dawning on her of the implication of her actions and the consequences of it afterwards.
“What did you go to do at the Hillside hospital?”. Jimmy asked, not allowing himself to be sympathetic for her. His credit card was with her.
“I'm sorry Jimmy, the baby…” she trailed off and started sobbing. She couldn't bring herself to complete the statement. She was going to tell him the baby was gone but couldn't bring herself to utter it completely.
Everyone was alert. Nancy's eyes were glued on Magda, analysing what would have come after her last word. The baby, yes, what happened to her unborn grandchild.
“What happened to my baby, Magda?” Jimmy thundered. Now, his eyes were blazing red. He doesn't want to think of the thing that might turn out to be a reality.
“The baby…the baby is….I lost…no…it was an abortion…” Magda stuttered. She started sobbing. Her body is weak but more than that, her heart is broken and devastated when she learnt the reality of what she'd done all these while.
“You did what?” Jimmy thundered.
“What did you say,Magda!” Nancy exclaimed.
