Before Madeleine could nod, Kevin suddenly tugged on her\u00a0<\/p>\n
hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, you should go with Dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKev?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine looked at him, surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you\u2019re worried about Mrs. Miller too, Mom. I\u2019ll be fine. I\u00a0<\/p>\n
can stay here and play with Aunt Rebecca.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s nose tingled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did she do to deserve such a thoughtful son?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSweetheart, are you sure you\u2019ll be okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin nodded firmly. He was a big boy now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a situation like this, he knew he needed to take care of\u00a0<\/p>\n
himself and not worry the adults.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 312\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving the little guy with Rebecca and Adrian, Madeleine,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick, and Bradley rushed to the hospital together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way, Roderick was on the phone with the maid who took\u00a0<\/p>\n
care of Mrs. Miller, trying to get more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turned out they had scheduled a yoga teacher to come to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
house for a prenatal yoga class today, which would help with\u00a0<\/p>\n
the delivery in two or three months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the teacher suddenly canceled, so Mrs. Miller decided to go\u00a0<\/p>\n
out for a walk instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen was worried and stayed right by her side. But while he was just getting her a cup of water, she collapsed in the mall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Dad wasn\u2019t there when it actually happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick nodded. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to ask Mrs. Miller.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mrs. Miller had already been taken to the emergency room in\u00a0<\/p>\n
the OB\/GYN department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley went to check with the medical team. After learning\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 312\u00a0<\/p>\n
that besides Dr. Eleanor, the others were also top OB\/GYN\u00a0<\/p>\n
specialists, he felt a little relieved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOwen, don\u2019t worry. Mrs. Miller will be fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley walked over to Owen. He was sitting on a chair with his\u00a0<\/p>\n
head down, his face grim, not saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine bought some water and crouched down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, have some water.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen\u2019s tense nerves finally eased a little. He didn\u2019t want to\u00a0<\/p>\n
drink, his throat was dry and tight, making it hard to even\u00a0<\/p>\n
swallow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But seeing Madeleine\u2019s worried expression, he took it without a\u00a0<\/p>\n
word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All they could do was wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group fell into a silent understanding. The air seemed to\u00a0<\/p>\n
freeze, with only the glaring red of the indicator light and the\u00a0<\/p>\n
smell of disinfectant hanging in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Time ticked by, each second feeling exceptionally long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen remained in the same position, his back straight, his\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 312\u00a0<\/p>\n
hands clenched into fists on his knees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine watched him, her heart aching a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, the door to the emergency room was pushed open from\u00a0<\/p>\n
the inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley was the closest. Seeing it was Dr. Eleanor, he quickly\u00a0<\/p>\n
went up to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Eleanor, it\u2019s Bradley. How is my aunt?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen, who was sitting on the bench, quickly stood up. His legs\u00a0<\/p>\n
were numb from sitting for so long, and he stumbled, steadied\u00a0<\/p>\n
by Roderick and Madeleine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoctor, my wife\u2026 how is she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eleanor took off her mask, revealing a kind\u2013faced woman\u00a0<\/p>\n
whose tone was instantly reassuring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patient is out of immediate danger. There were some signs of placental abruption, and her blood pressure is a little high. Although she\u2019s still unconscious, her condition is stable\u00a0<\/p>\n
for now. We\u2019ll continue to monitor her for the next 24 hours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 312\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she finished, Dr. Eleanor paused for a couple of seconds\u00a0<\/p>\n
and glanced at Bradley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Being a doctor himself, Bradley knew that Dr. Eleanor was\u00a0<\/p>\n
sugarcoating it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He thought for a moment before saying, \u201cDr. Eleanor, please\u00a0<\/p>\n
just be straight with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the next 24 hours, if there\u2019s any sign of trouble, we might\u00a0<\/p>\n
have to terminate the pregnancy to save the mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At those words, several pairs of worried eyes turned to Owen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They knew better than anyone how much Owen had been looking forward to this child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen swayed slightly, his face turning even paler, but he\u00a0<\/p>\n
quickly steadied himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with deep pain as he tried\u00a0<\/p>\n
to stay calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was a little hoarse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Eleanor, the mother\u2019s safety is the top priority. No matter\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 312\u00a0<\/p>\n
what happens, save her. Please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was firm, without a hint of hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The child was precious, of course, but Mrs. Miller was his\u00a0<\/p>\n
irreplaceable love and partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flash of admiration and reassurance crossed Dr. Eleanor\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes, and she nodded solemnly:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, our entire team will do everything we can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, Mrs. Miller was wheeled out and transferred to the ICU.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was still unconscious, her face pale, but her breathing\u00a0<\/p>\n
seemed much more stable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen immediately followed, his eyes fixed on the bed, staying\u00a0<\/p>\n
right with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley went to discuss the medical details with Dr. Eleanor,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and just as Roderick and Madeleine were about to join them,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s phone rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
