Chapter 431

However, Dominic recalled how nervous Hannah had seemed when he talked to Chloe. He glanced in the direction of the operating room, thoughtfulness flashing in his eyes.He picked up his phone and told Finn to inform Hannah that Anathea was in the hospital.After that, he reached the blood collection area, extending his hand for the nurse to draw blood.Fortunately, Dominic had arrived in time. Just as they were about to run out of blood bags, the fresh red blood drawn from his body flowed through the transparent tube into Anathea's body.Time ticked by slowly.Gregory stood outside the operating room, motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.The blood from the broken skin in his palm dripped down his fingers onto the floor, drop by drop. How he wished his blood type was compatible with Anathea's. If it were, he wouldn't hesitate to drain every drop from his own body, as long as it could save her.After a while, the Miller family also delivered two bags of blood, which were

Chapter 432

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

Chapter 433

Dominic's gaze lingered on Anathea's face for a few more seconds.But the next second, he met Gregory's indifferent eyes. Dominic looked away and smiled slightly. "Don't be so tense. I'm not interested in someone else's wife."Gregory looked away, staring at Anathea wordlessly."I heard Adam is also in this hospital," Dominic stated.Gregory nodded, not in the mood to chat with Dominic. He only cared about Anathea, wondering when she would wake up.Dominic didn't disturb them any further. After casting a fleeting glance at the sleeping Anathea from the corner of his eyes, he turned and left the ward, closing the door behind him.As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he saw Hannah sitting outside, staring intently at Anathea's ward. Next to her was Chloe, who also looked worried.He took a long stride and approached them.When Hannah saw him, she hesitated, as if wanting to say something.Before she could say anything, Dominic said, "Anathea's condition has stabilized. She's

"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,

Because this had been Anathea's decision.Every time she thought back to those nights, when she lay in bed gently stroking her belly and listening to that strong heartbeat, her body trembled uncontrollably. Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart. The pain was so sharp it stole her breath away."Annie…" Gregory's voice was thick and hoarse. When he saw the pain etched across her face, his chest clenched tight.Still, he swallowed back the sobs and the anguish rising deep in his throat. With a hoarse voice, he asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."Anathea exhaled and let out a bitter laugh. "I'm just a nobody. Why would I trouble the head of the Sinclair family for a meal?"She felt Gregory's hand stiffen, but inside, she felt no satisfaction at mocking him."Get out. I don't want to see you or have anything to do with you."Her voice was cold and distant.Gregory's eyes darkened with pain. He withdrew his hand from her belly and covered her with the blan

Chapter 436

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

Chapter 437

A flicker of surprise flashed in Natalie's eyes. Before she could react, a cloth was pressed over her mouth and nose, just like she had once done to Anathea.Natalie struggled for a moment. But because of the anesthesia, her eyelids soon grew heavy. In seconds, she plunged into a deep, endless darkness.…It was 6:30 pm—normally still bright in the summer—but the sky that day was unusually overcast. It looked more like 8:00 pm, with everything draped in a dim, shadowy dusk.When Gregory opened his eyes, the ceiling of the ward came into view."You're finally awake." Louie let out a long breath of relief. "If you'd stayed out any longer, I was going to call a doctor in for a consultation."Gregory propped up his exhausted body and sat up. "Where is she?"Who else could he be asking about but Anathea? The fact that his first concern upon waking was her, not himself, was actually quite dangerous.Louie frowned. "Anathea has Hannah with her. She fell asleep soon after Hannah went i

Chapter 438

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

Chapter 439

Chloe had always been thoughtful. She helped adjust the incline of Anathea's bed with practiced ease despite her young age and even poured her a cup of water."When Mommy was sick and in the hospital before, I took care of her like this too."Her eyes curved into two little crescents as she smiled.Because of filming, Hannah often worked late nights and ate very little to maintain her figure. On top of that, she trained intensely for action scenes, which eventually wore her body down. In the end, she was sent to the hospital several times.She couldn't rely on her elderly grandparents, and there was no way to let her leech of a father know about her condition. So, the only person she could count on was Chloe.Chloe had started caring for Hannah from a very young age.Anathea looked at Chloe's face, which carried a maturity beyond her years. She reached out and hugged her. "Thank you, Chloe. You're such an angel."To be honest, Anathea hadn't supported Hannah's decision to keep t

Chapter 440

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
