Amelia's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing to comprehend the severity of the situation. Concern and fear washed over her, as she instinctively placed a hand over her abdomen, where her precious baby resided. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Bleeding? But... but the baby…"Liam held Amelia tightly, trying to reassure her in the midst of her panic. "Don't panic, just stay put," he pleaded, his voice filled with urgency. "Take a deep breath..."But before Liam could finish his sentence, Amelia's scream pierced through the air. Her cry for her baby echoed with raw emotion. "My baby!!!" she wailed, her voice laced with fear and desperation. "What is happening, Liam? What does this mean?"Liam's heart sank, witnessing Amelia's anguish. He knew he needed to remain composed for both their sakes. "Calm down," he urged, his voice firm yet compassionate. "You need to calm down first. We'll figure this out, but we need to act quickly."Just then, Liam's sister, Natalie, burst out of the hou
The nurse paused for a moment, searching for the right words. "It means that in cases like these, it becomes a matter of prioritizing either the mother's life or the baby's life," she clarified. "It's a difficult decision that the doctor will have to make."Liam's gaze shifted back and forth between the nurse and Natalie, his mind grappling with the weight of the choices before him. He turned to the nurse once more. "You have to try to save both," he implored, his voice filled with a mix of desperation and conviction. "She has fought so hard to protect that child. You can't let her lose it."The nurse empathized with Liam's anguish but cautioned, "It's a highly risky situation, sir. We need to consider the best course of action for both their lives."Liam's voice rose, laced with urgency and desperation. "At least try!" he demanded, his eyes pleading with the nurse for a glimmer of hope.Natalie, sensing Liam's distress, attempted to calm him down. "Calm down, bro," she said softly,
Liam understood her frustration but tried to reason with her."But this is an emergency, Naty," Liam replied, his voice filled with a mix of desperation and understanding. He wanted to prioritize Amelia's well-being and believed that obtaining the necessary funds was crucial at that moment.Natalie interrupted him, her tone reflecting her exasperation, "An emergency? You know what an emergency is? It's not just about this moment, Liam," Natalie retorted, her frustration evident. "It's about you showing up at our house with a total stranger, someone almost bleeding to death!"Liam halted, his body tensed as he absorbed Natalie's words. He knew she had a valid point, and guilt washed over him. Taking a deep breath, he mustered the courage to respond, "I know, Naty, and I'm truly sorry for what happened."Natalie, still visibly frustrated, continued pressing for answers, "What do you want to tell Lila? How did this happen? Who is she?" she pressed, needing to understand the situation th
Natalie took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She nodded to herself, accepting Liam's explanation and his decision to help Amelia. She raised her hands in a gesture to surrender, slightly acknowledging that she had had enough now. "Okay, okay," Natalie said, her voice calm. She stood still, observing Liam as he retrieved an envelope from his drawer and placed the money inside. She didn't say anything more, allowing the silence to settle between them.Liam finished organizing the money and turned to face Natalie. He asked her, "Are you coming along? Or are you staying here?"Natalie sighed softly, contemplating her options. After a brief moment, she made up her mind. "I'm coming," she replied, her voice steady. They left the house and made their way to the car. Liam started the engine, and they embarked on the drive back to the hospital in silence. Natalie sat beside him, her thoughts wandering as they navigated the streets. Deep down, she hoped for a positive ou
Liam hesitated, knowing that revealing the full truth about Amelia might complicate matters further. He decided to withhold certain details for the time being. "I really don't know," he admitted. "But she needed help, and I couldn't turn my back on her."Natalie nodded slowly, contemplating her brother's words. While some uncertainties still lingered in her mind.Just then, the doctor walked in. He said, "Mr. Liam, you can come in now."Liam nodded and turned to Natalie, gesturing for her to wait outside. He walked into the ward where Amelia was, his heart filled with relief. Amelia, lying in the bed, rubbed her belly gently and smiled at Liam's arrival.The doctor continued, "She's out of danger now, and we've moved her out of the emergency room."Amelia's eyes sparkled with gratitude as she looked at Liam. She whispered, "Thanks, Liam. Thanks for saving my baby."Liam's smile grew wider as he approached her bedside. He replied softly, "It's my pleasure, Amelia. I'm just glad both o
He quickly composed himself, though a hint of surprise lingered in his voice. "Mr. Reynolds! What a pleasure," Mr. Tate managed to say. "Come in." Andrew entered without uttering a word, his demeanor serious and resolute. As Mr. Tate closed the door behind them, he inquired, "Please have a seat. You came alone? I thought you came with your wi..." Before Mr. Tate could complete his thought, Andrew interjected, cutting him off. Placing the documents on the table, he stated with a firm tone, "The deal is off." Mr. Tate's confusion was evident as he glanced at the documents, then back at Andrew, searching for an explanation.Stammering slightly, Mr. Tate asked, "I... I... What's this, Mr. Reynolds?" He managed to inquire.Andrew repeated his statement, emphasizing each word, "Our deal is off." The atmosphere in the room became tense as the weight of Andrew's decision hung in the air, leaving Mr. Tate unsure of how to respond.Mr. Tate's face turned pale as Andrew's words sank in. He
Amelia stood by the window, basking in the warm sunlight that streamed through the glass. She could feel the improvements in her body. She gently rubbed her stomach, a smile adorned her face, filled with determination and a fierce protectiveness."I'll protect you, baby," she whispered, her voice filled with unwavering love. "You're mine, and no one will ever take you away from me." Her words carried a resolute promise, a vow to shield her unborn child from any harm that may come their way, including Andrew Reynolds.Just then, the room door creaked open and Amelia sighted Liam. Her smile widened as Liam entered the room, bringing a sense of comfort and reassurance. "I didn't know you were still around," she remarked, her voice filled with warmth. "Thank you for being here for me."Liam returned her smile, his eyes reflecting a mix of relief and affection. "Of course, I wouldn't leave your side. You're meant to be resting, though," he gently chided. "But I'm glad to see you're fee
Amelia, feeling a surge of unease, watched as Liam turned to her and reassured her, "Just sit down, make yourself comfortable. I'll be back." She nodded, offering him a small smile, though her mind was filled with curiosity and a touch of anxiety.As Liam followed Natalie away from Amelia, she couldn't help but wonder what they were going to discuss. She leaned back in her seat, trying to ease the nervous energy that had settled within her. Liam closed the door behind him, hoping to maintain some privacy during their conversation. Natalie immediately unleashed her frustration, her voice filled with anger. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she exclaimed, her tone intense. Liam quickly gestured for her to lower her voice, whispering, "Shhh... She could hear you."Natalie reluctantly brought her voice down to a hushed tone, her frustration still evident. "What do you mean she'll be staying here?" she asked, seeking clarification. Liam sighed, trying to explain. "Just for the meantime
Amelia stood there, tears of joy streaming down her face, listening to Andrew's words of love and reminiscences of their past. Andrew said, "the first time I asked you to be my wife, it was arranged, you never wanted to. You agreed because you had no choice. I only granted you the divorce because I wanted to start afresh with you."She couldn't help but laugh at his playful remark about the first proposal. "Or you had no choice either," she jokingly replied, sharing a lighthearted moment with him.With a smile, Andrew continued, expressing his true feelings, "Now I'm asking you again, out of your will. Amelia Tate, can you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Overwhelmed with happiness, Amelia screamed, "Yes, yes, yes!!!" The excitement spread through everyone present as they joined in the joyous moment.In a rush of emotions, Amelia ran to hug Andrew, and amidst the laughter, Perry playfully yelled, "Collect the ring first!" The laughter continued as Andrew gently slipped the
With a heart full of happiness and anticipation, Andrew walked down the stairs of his home, feeling a world of difference from the past few months. Everything was now beautiful and filled with joy and love. Today was a special day as he was going to pick up Amelia from the hospital after her remarkable recovery from the coma.Tony approached him to inform him that the car was ready. He said, "The car is ready, boss."But Andrew declined, wanting to savor every moment of the day. "Nah... I'll drive myself," he replied with a smile.Tony said, "are you sure boss?""Nah… I'm fine, hand me the keys." Andrew said as he stretched his hands towards Tony to collect his keys.Tony walked towards him and handed him the keys to the Rolls Royce Phantom, and Andrew hopped in, ready to go pick up his beloved Amelia.The drive to the hospital was filled with excitement and eagerness. Andrew couldn't wait to see Amelia's reaction to the grand surprise he had prepared for her at home. As he arrived
The doctor stammered, realizing the gravity of his poorly phrased suggestion. "No... no, that's not what I meant," he attempted to clarify.Andrew stepped closer to the doctor, his eyes piercing through him. "Are you going to tell me how to spend my money?" he demanded.The doctor quickly backtracked, "No sir, it was just a suggestion from a professional."But Andrew was not swayed. He fiercely responded, "Keep your profession to yourself! We're not taking her off any life support! We're not depriving her of her rights to fight! Understood?"The doctor nodded, humbled by Andrew's words, "Yes, sir."Andrew left his office and slammed the door behind him.Leaving the doctor's office, Andrew returned to Amelia's room, his emotions still raw. Mrs. Tate noticed his changed mood and approached him, concerned. "How is Amelia? What did the doctor say?"Andrew took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "It's nothing serious," he reassured Mrs. Tate, not wanting to worry her further.But M
Andrew carefully came down the stairs, holding Violet in his arms. His daughter had grown bigger, and she now had curly brown hair, which bounced with each moment, a beautiful resemblance to her mother, Amelia. Nanny Grace approached them, holding Violet's little bag and other items Amelia used to cherish."Thanks, Nana," Andrew said with genuine gratitude. "What about Amelia's hairbrush and perfumes?"Nanny Grace smiled warmly. "I've packed them inside, just as you requested.""Thanks," Andrew replied, relieved that everything was in order. He made his way towards the front door, Violet snuggled safely in his arms. But before he could reach the car, Nanny Grace's voice called him back."Uhm... Andrew," she hesitated, concern etched on her face.Andrew turned back to face her, his eyes filled with curiosity. "What is it, Nana?"Nanny Grace took a deep breath, her voice gentle but filled with worry. "Any news on Alexander?"Andrew's expression tightened, a mix of frustration and pain
Nanny Grace's sobs echoed through the air as she cradled Violet in her trembling arms. Tears streamed down her face, and her voice cracked with anguish as she cried out."Alexander, noooo!" Her legs gave way beneath her, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching Violet tightly.One of the cops quickly shouted, "Call in the divers!" The police were already taking action to search for Alexander's body in the water below the bridge.Andrew rushed to Nanny Grace and Violet, his own heart torn apart by the events unfolding before him. He knelt down beside them and wrapped his arms around them both.Nanny Grace, her voice choked with grief, managed to speak through her tears, "Wh...what of Amelia? What happened? Where is she? How did it happen?" Her voice trembled with a desperate hope for answers.Andrew's heart felt as though it had been torn into a million pieces. He struggled to find the words, his voice barely above a whisper. "I...I really don't know. Stone called, and..." Just as
Nanny Grace pleaded with him, her heart breaking at the sight of a man she had once loved like a son, now consumed by rage and despair. "No, no, no, don't harm the innocent baby, Alexander. She has nothing to do with this. Just turn yourself in."Alexander, struggling with his emotions, replied bitterly, "Then what do I get in return? Spend the rest of my life in jail? It's better we all die here!!"Nanny Grace's eyes filled with tears as she realized the extent of Alexander's desperation. She knew she had to reach him, to show him that there was another way out of this dark path he had chosen."Then you'll have to kill me first, Alexander, because I'm getting the baby out of the car," Nanny Grace declared resolutely. She was willing to put her life on the line to protect Violet.Alexander's hands trembled as he held the gun. He couldn't bear the thought of hurting Nanny Grace, no matter how deep his pain ran.Nanny Grace slowly approached him, step by step, keeping her gaze locked
The other police officers rushed to the corridor where Detective Stone was, following his urgent call for an ambulance. As they saw Amelia's lifeless body lying on the ground, one of them recognized her and exclaimed, "Isn't this Mr. Reynolds' wife? Is she dead?"Detective Stone walked over to Amelia's body, he knelt down beside her, gently placing his hands on her neck to check her pulse. His expression grew more grave as he felt her faint heartbeat. "Her pulse is very low, quickly call the ambulance!!!" he urgently instructed one of the officers.The officer quickly made the call, relaying the critical situation to the emergency services. "They're on their way," he responded to Detective Stone.Meanwhile, Detective Stone's phone rang, and he took it out to answer. It was Andrew on the other end. Before he could say anything, Andrew's voice came through, stammering with worry. "I... I can't find Amelia! Ch... check the warehouse for her! Have you seen her?!" Andrew desperately sa
One of the henchmen hesitated, looking back at Amelia lying unconscious on the floor. "What about her? Are we leaving her here?!" he questioned, showing a flicker of concern."We don't have time!! Go bring the baby!!!" Alexander snapped, prioritizing their escape over everything else. Leaving Amelia behind was the only option he saw to ensure their escape.They rushed upstairs to where Violet was sleeping, and Alexander's henchman quickly grabbed her, carrying her in his arms as they hurriedly left the warehouse.Amelia remained motionless on the floor.Outside, the police sirens grew louder, signaling that the authorities were closing in. Alexander's heart pounded with fear as he led his men to a getaway vehicle, hoping to escape in time.One of his men said, "But what about the money?!"Alexander's eyes flashed with anger and frustration. "Do you want to go to jail?!" he snapped back. "Andrew would do anything for his daughter!!! Let's move!!!" he ordered.Their priorities were cle
Amelia continued to stammer, her voice trembling, "I swear, I don't have it. You took it with you."Meanwhile, Andrew and Detective Stone were hard at work, tracing the call from Alexander's phone. The tension in the room was thick as all their attention was at tracing the call, knowing that every second counted in finding Amelia and Violet.Detective Stone's face lit up with relief and excitement. "We've gotten it, sir! They are in an underground warehouse downtown," he announced.Andrew's heart raced with a mix of hope and fear. "What are you waiting for, let's hurry!" he commanded.With the location finally pinpointed, Andrew and Detective Stone wasted no time. They rushed out of the study, making their way as quickly as possible to the underground warehouse where Amelia and Violet were being held captive.The room was filled with tension as Alexander, consumed by rage, cornered Amelia, demanding to know the whereabouts of his phone. He grabbed Amelia by the arm as he shook her
