LOGINWith the uneasy weight of the afternoon still upon them, Sigourney and Theodore hailed a taxi to return to Twilight Estate. They had thought matters were gradually settling down, but reality proved that perhaps they had relaxed their vigilance too soon.The moment they entered the car, an inexplicable sense of unease lingered, even though the driver appeared kind and honest. That feeling only seemed to intensify as the vehicle rolled steadily onto the main road.Theodore and Sigourney exchanged wary glances, their nerves instinctively sharpening, as if bracing for whatever was about to unfold. The taxi glided along at a stable speed, smooth and unwavering.But suddenly, the driver spoke, his tone laced with confusion."Sir, Madam, is the person driving behind you a friend or relative of yours?""I have the impression that the gray car back there is following us."At those words, both Theodore and Sigourney heightened their vigilance, eyes flicking to the rearview mirror. Indeed, a my
"At present, my car is severely damaged. I'm worried it would be dangerous to continue driving.""I'm calling the vehicle service now, so they can come check and repair it for me."Because Theodore had the call on speakerphone, Sigourney clearly heard every word. She instinctively shivered. She couldn't imagine what might have happened if she and Theodore had been in that car.For some reason, hearing this news sparked a sudden thought in Theodore. He asked immediately,"What happened to the driver of the black car?"Their driver quickly replied,"The black car, after striking mine, was forcefully knocked back and directly collided with another white car.""The collision was severe. The driver of the black car struck the steering wheel directly, bleeding profusely.""He's unconscious now.""I called the traffic police to handle the situation, and an ambulance for him."Theodore's gaze met Sigourney's, and in that moment, they both understood the thoughts running through each other's
Once everything was packed, their private driver was already waiting at the hospital gates. Theodore carefully supported Sigourney down the steps, seating her gently in the back, every movement tender and deliberate.Yet just as the driver was about to pull away, Sigourney suddenly felt a sharp, wrenching pain in her abdomen. She doubled over like a boiled shrimp, her face turning pale as she whispered weakly to Theodore."Wait, my stomach hurts so much.""Could you take me back to the hospital?"Seeing her collapse in agony so suddenly, Theodore was thrown into utter panic. Without hesitation, he scooped her into his arms and rushed back inside the hospital.Their belongings were already stored in the trunk, and with the car inconveniently parked, Theodore quickly instructed the driver to head to Twilight Estate, where Mrs. Miller would bring everything inside for them.With that settled, Theodore hurried inside, carrying Sigourney tightly against his chest. By now, her face had turn
"That night, Dante intended to sneak into your hospital room to harm you and Mrs. Nichols. He even had a knife concealed on his person.""But fortunately, the room was password-protected. He didn't know it, so he couldn't get in.""Nevertheless, you two must remain vigilant.""Right now, during the investigation, we've lost Dante's trail. We don't know where he is."Hearing Sutton's words, Theodore's gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing with menace. Of course, he understood Sutton's implication.Dante was surely still lurking somewhere nearby, plotting another scheme to harm him and Sigourney. And with Sigourney's frail health at the moment, he had to be more vigilant than ever.Theodore slowly clenched his fist, his voice hoarse as he spoke."Alright, thank you for informing me of this. I'll be more careful.""And don't forget, keep narrowing the search. Find Dante's whereabouts as soon as possible and hand him over to the police."Otherwise, both he and Sigourney would be forced to liv
After the injection of the tocolytic, perhaps from sheer exhaustion or the effect of the medicine itself, Sigourney drifted into a weary slumber on the bed. The female doctor, seeing this, calmly reassured Theodore that it was a normal response and nothing to be alarmed about. Then, in a gentle tone, she continued her reminders."Your wife does not need to be transferred to a separate obstetric ward for close monitoring at the moment.""She may remain here in the same room with you, but she must avoid moving around as much as possible. Above all, she must not be subjected to tension or stress."The doctor added softly,"Should she display any unusual symptoms such as prolonged abdominal pain or unstable blood pressure, press the emergency button at once so I can come and help stabilize her condition."Because Sigourney's health was in a precarious state, Theodore listened with the utmost care. Once she had finished speaking, the female doctor arranged for Sigourney to receive an IV d
"She suddenly suffered sharp abdominal pain. Please help me check her condition."The elderly male doctor swiftly moved to examine Sigourney, while a nurse dashed back out to summon an obstetrician with more specialized expertise.In the meantime, the male doctor carefully guided Sigourney to lie flat on the bed, preventing her from curling up in a way that might endanger the child. Then, he began measuring her blood pressure and checking her basic vital signs.Throughout the entire process, Theodore's gaze never left her, his heart pounding with unbearable anxiety. At this moment, Sigourney was drenched in cold sweat, her whole body icy to the touch as she lay weakly slumped against the bed, her soft hair spilling loose around her.She clutched her abdomen again and again, crying out in pain, pleading faintly with the doctors to save her child."Stay calm, take a deep breath.""Try to lie flat. Don't curl your stomach, or it will press against the baby inside..."The doctor, though st
Sigourney was still trembling, but Theodore held her firmly in his arms. Hearing her words, he felt a surge of concern himself, instinctively casting a glance toward the door.Perhaps it had been Sigourney's fierce voice earlier that had scared the intruder away. Yet whatever their purpose, the fac
Although Sigourney was extremely worried, she forced herself to stay calm. Through her sobs, she fumbled for her phone in her handbag and called the hospital, her voice choked as she reported Theodore's condition.It wasn't until the doctor confirmed that the information had been received and that
As every gaze gradually shifted toward Sigourney, she calmly produced the share transfer agreement Emma had signed the day before and explained gently."As you all know, due to certain personal matters, my mom is no longer able to continue managing Nichols Corporation, nor participate in its busine
When Sigourney stepped off the stage, the hall remained bustling with activity. Many people approached her to converse, congratulate her, and gradually discuss the upcoming collaborative projects.Throughout it all, Sigourney remained the same, maintaining a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.
