Gregory immediately walked up to Avery. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, let alone say anything.His eyes were full of urgency. He was desperate to know Anathea's condition."Her blood pressure has stabilized, and she's out of danger." Avery raised her head, removing her mask. "She'll wake up in about an hour."At that moment, Gregory finally felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. His whole body collapsed backward."Greg!" Adrian called out anxiously.Dominic, with quick reflexes, caught Gregory. "Are you alright?"Gregory didn't speak. His expression was calm. But he was exuding a dark presence."Greg…" Louie looked at him, deeply worried. Only he understood Gregory's state. He knew Gregory was suppressing himself now.The calmer Gregory appeared on the surface, the more turbulent it was within him. And once that fragile layer of calm was broken, all the emotions would devour him in an instant.He wouldn't be able to hold on.Louie quickly stepped forward a

"Dominic!" Hannah glared at him warily. "Don't you dare get any funny ideas about my daughter!"Dominic shot her a lazy glance. "I was just asking. Why are you so worked up? Only guilty people get that defensive."Hannah was caught off guard by his remark and gave a cold snort. "You're the one feeling guilty! Stay the hell away from my daughter. She doesn't need your bad luck rubbing off on her!"Dominic frowned and clicked his tongue. "Damn, Hannah. You never pull your punches, do you?"She wasn't interested in wasting breath on him. Pulling Chloe into her arms, she leaned down and whispered, "Chloe, don't talk to random strangers, okay? You never know if someone's crazy."Chloe caught the way Dominic's face darkened instantly and couldn't help but giggle. Still, she listened to Hannah. She buried her head into Hannah's shoulder, not saying another word to Dominic.He gave Hannah a long, pointed look. Any time something even remotely involved Chloe, she turned into a porcupine,

Natalie's eyes were filled with fear and regret.Anathea had lost the baby. This confirmed her guilt in hurting Anathea. And there had been so many people from the Sinclair family watching from below at the time."Eleanor, what do we do?" Natalie grabbed Eleanor desperately, her voice choking with panic. "You have to help me..."Eleanor was irritated by her noise. She asked the person who had brought back the news, "Where's Gregory?""Mr. Sinclair has been at the hospital the whole time. He hasn't left."Natalie froze. She hadn't expected Gregory to care so much about Anathea.Eleanor looked at the change in Natalie's expression and asked again, "Has he mentioned anyone else, like..."She glanced at Natalie."No, he didn't mention anything."Only then did Natalie breathe a sigh of relief, but her fingers clenched tighter. Her eyes were filled with resentment."I know you're not willing to accept this." Eleanor read her thoughts and warned, "But you better not do anything righ

Hannah sat quietly beside Anathea's bed.Ever since Anathea had been wheeled out of surgery, she hadn't left her side. Only after seeing Anathea was truly okay did she heave a sigh of relief.She looked at Anathea's pale face. The redness around her eyes looked like rings of fresh blood, and the tears clinging to her lashes resembled two drops of it."Thea..." Hannah felt sorry for Anathea, but she tried to sound lighthearted. "If you're feeling down, you can always lean on my shoulder."She tapped her own shoulder. "It's not as broad as a man's, but it's sturdy enough for you to lean on. I could add a shoulder pad for extra comfort."Anathea looked at her—so serious in her attempt to be funny—and couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine.""You're lying." Hannah reached out and wrapped an arm around Anathea's shoulders, guiding her head to rest against her own. "You don't have to be so strong around me. Just show your true feelings."Anathea was too gentle and always so considerate of

Now Hannah finally understood why Anathea had once called Gregory a madman.He was practically insane. Or maybe even a step beyond madness.A madman was just mad. But Gregory wasn't just mad. He was almost pathologically fixated on Anathea.…After two days under observation, Anathea was cleared to leave the hospital.She pushed herself upright. The next moment, the door to her ward swung open. Thinking it was the last person she wanted to see, she didn't bother turning around."Are you feeling any better?" Adrian asked gently.Upon hearing that, Anathea finally turned around. When she saw Adrian, she was surprised.He must've noticed the question lingering in her eyes because he answered before she could ask, "We're here to take you home."As he spoke, Louie wheeled in a chair and looked at her. "Let's go.""Where to?" Anathea was confused."To the Sinclair residence."Adrian draped a thick blanket over her legs. "Greg said your body's still weak. He told us to be extra ca
