"Relax, honey. They probably called him in. If the baby's about to be born, they might've let him into the OR,"
said Maximus, trying to calm Laura, who looked clearly anxious.
"Yeah... that's probably it..." Laura said, trying to shake the strange feeling she'd had since that morning.
Back in the private room where Angela and Lucius had been taken, the hospital director was calling the surgical
wing to ask about Amanda Hayward's condition.
"I understand, but... if that's the latest update, why hasn't anyone informed the family? | need someone to come
and explain the situation," the director said, then ended the call.
"I'm sorry for my reaction earlier. Someone will be here shortly to give you a full update."
Moments later, a doctor arrived. From his expression, it was clear he knew he was in trouble-these weren't just
any family members.
"Sir, ma'am, I'm very sorry | didn't cout sooner to update you, but you have to understand, our priority is to
save the patient's life."
"In this case, Miss Hayward cin with a case of preeclampsia. We took all measures to stabilize her, but her
condition didn't improve. That's why we're now preparing to induce labor-her blood pressure has reached
dangerously high levels."
"Doctor, shouldn't the father be in there with her?" Angela asked, visibly upset.
"Not in this case. We're trying to save two lives. But | need to be honest with you -we've been monitoring the

When Lucius heard that, he buried his face in his hands. He never imagined going through something like this.
He couldn't believe it but somehow, deep down, he'd felt it coming. Life had been kind to him lately, even
though he'd made his share of mistakes. Maybe this was fate balancing the scales.
Angela got up from her seat and hugged the young man tightly.
"Hey, hey... it's okay. Everything's going to be alright. Don't lose it now, Lucius. Look at me-you're stronge You've
gotten through worse. Right now, need you strong and clear headed. You can't fall apart. You're the head of your
family now, and this isn't the tto crumble, got it?"
Lucius looked up at the woman who had taken him in after his mother passed. He clung to her and silently let go
of the tears he'd been holding back.
He regretted what had happened earlier. He should've stayed calm. He should've thought about Amanda's
emotional stability instead of getting riled up by that idiot of a father.
As soon as the doctor left the room, the hospital director stood and said, "Sir, ma'am, I'll personally make sure
you're kept informed about everything regarding both the b and the mother. | deeply regret this entire situation.
For now, let the medical staff do their job and let's hope this is just a rough patch. We've seen cases like this
before-sometimes, inducing labor helps stabilize the mother."
Lucius felt lost—like everything and nothing were happening at once. That morning had started like any other.
They'd gotten up for university, it was exam week, and the only unusual thing was that Amanda had asked to
skip the last two classes because she was tired.
"How the hell did we end up here?" he muttered, hitting the wall.

"Can | go see my brother?" Laura asked anxiously.
"Yes, he's through that door. That's where we were taken," said Angela, pointing.
