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.

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.
