Don’t let anyone reach him.”I gulped hard and blinked while looking away.Summer was like her lifeline, and yet she was worried about Evan.“I am sending Jack to the hospital,” I said to her in a stiff voice and looked at Jack.She was not speaking loudly and Jack was standing at some distance.So, he furrowed his brows questioningly.“I won’t be at ease if someone from us is not with you and Summer.” I pressed hard this time.She didn’t say a word instantly, but sighed in a shaky voice.“Okay.”I didn’t hang up, but looked at Jack.“She wants me to stay with Evan. You go.” I told him, and his eyes widened in surprise, but he still nodded in understanding.I moved away from the car, and Jack got inside.“I am sending two bodyguards inside the car and a car behind him,” Paul told me, and at the same ti
Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Mrs. Froste shielded Ms. Summer when Mr. Westfield’s bodyguards tried to approach them. Our people stopped them instantly, but it started a fight there. Mr. Westfield was adamant about taking both of them back at any cost.” Collin explained to me hurriedly.“Get the car to the gate,” I yelled when I saw Paul coming towards me with some files in his hands.He was startled by my sudden outburst and state.I was practically running towards the exit.Soon, Jack was beside me.“Ms. Summer also started fighting when two guards approached Mrs. Froste from behind. She …. She continued circling Mrs. Froste to keep her safe with two of our guards, but suddenly Mr. Westfield took out a baton, and ran towards Mrs. Froste.” My heart was now thudding hard against my ribcage.My grip tightened on the phone, and my expression turned darker.“Mrs. Froste also fought and dodged his attack, but she stumbled hard when her back hit the corner of a table. Ms. Summer lunged at h
Arthur’s P.O.V.I had commanded a vast boardroom filled with vipers and wolves hiding under human skins.I fought battles and passed through the shower of bullets but never felt as anxious or scared as I felt when I was standing in that labour room.She wasn’t the first woman going through that intense pain and surely will not be the last one, but that muffled scream shook me to the core.Mr. Stanley blabbered all the time about the delivery of their first baby and how he fainted after the child popped out of his wife’s body.In other circumstances, it would be funny to hear, but I just trembled once.Vera must have gone through the same pain while giving birth to Evan.And Pearl would go through the same pain.When Pearl stumbled out of the labour room, I caught her safely.I was sure that Mr. Stanley and the nurses who brought Pearl out thought that I saved her from falling, but only I knew that I desperately wanted to hug her.I wanted to feel her safe in my embrace.She was startl
Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Yeah… she… she…. Is in pain.” I answered in a shaky and hoarse voice.My heart was still thudding hard against my ribcage, but I wrapped my hands around my belly protectively.“Calm down. You are okay," Arthur said to me in a comforting tone, but his body was stiff.I didn’t look at anyone else as the mother’s painful scream was still ringing in my ears.My vision was blurred, and I was praying for a less painful delivery for her.I prayed for the child to be born safely and that it would end quickly for her.Right now, I wasn’t Pearl Nickelson but just a woman who was also pregnant and wanted another woman to have a safe delivery.I was just a woman…..Arthur didn’t say a word further but tightened his grip around my body.The man started pacing while rubbing his palms furiously; his eyes didn’t leave the closed door of the labour room.We didn’t hear a word coming from inside, but my mind was still replaying the same scene of her screaming in pain.No won
Pearl’s P.O.V.“Usually, the medical staff discard the umbilical cord with the placenta as biomedical waste after the delivery if the parents don’t give consent to preserve the cord. So, even if you agree to donate the umbilical cord of your child to them, there is no harm to anyone.” The OB of the female patient who was about to give birth explained this to both of them.The woman was in immense pain, but I still insisted on having this meeting in her presence so that she wouldn’t panic after giving birth if she notices anything unusual.She was in so much pain that I couldn’t concentrate on what the doctor was explaining to them.The contractions in her stomach almost made her faint in front of me.Until that moment, I had been thinking about the umbilical cord as a medical sample. Something that could be collected after the delivery and transported to the lab for further testing, ensuring that the blood can save Evan.But watching her fight through every contraction made me realise
Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)She didn’t explain, but for the first time, I wanted her to explain.Because this was not only related to our safety, but it was also about Evan’s life.One mistake, and we could lose this chance to find a way to keep him alive.“It doesn’t matter where we go after leaving the mansion. They will follow us everywhere.” She spoke softly while walking steadily beside me.“Even if we dodge them here, they will find a way to find us or our route.” My jaw hardened, but I listened to her explanation, processing every word.“So, let them follow us.” She glanced at me, a faint smile creeping on her lips, but that didn’t reach her eyes.“I beg your pardon, Mr. Froste, but what Mrs. Froste said is logical,” Paul said to me in a low and cautious voice.I was about to glare at Paul when I noticed the corners of Pearl’s mouth crooked.I sighed and rubbed my forehead, feeling frustrated, but my gut feelings said that I should trust Pearl.She would never do anything to hu
Arthur’s P.O.V.“She is still in Josh’s apartment?” I asked Paul while exiting the car.“Yes, Mr. Froste,” he replied to me in a low voice.I took a deep breath and went to the other elevator. Every penthouse had its designated elevator, and there were two common elevators for the lower floors.Luc
Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)Sapphire was so quick on her feet that she was beside Pearl in no time.“The zipper got stuck,” Pearl answered her, but looked between Sapphire and me with a furrowed brow.“Let me help you, sis.” Sapphire held her hand and dragged Pearl inside her room again.I could se
Pearl’s P.O.V.I looked around at an almost empty room with a blank gaze.The room was big with only basic furniture, and the grey and white paint on the walls and roof made the surroundings gloomier than ever.But this was what I needed right now.Some alone time.After everything that happened to
Pearl’s P.O.V.“Jack will not be able to take his hands off you tonight, Pearl. You look stunning.” My younger sister, Sapphire, gushed while looking at me through the mirror.I blushed while looking at the bride in the mirror. The smile on my lips widened a little. The light green color of the gow
