NovelEnglishGeoffrey cannot die!
If he died, she would never be able to repay him in this lifetime.
The blizzard raged outside.
Maureen had a long, hazy dream. She couldn't recall its details, only muffled voices near her
ear.
“She’s pregnant?”
“Yes, eight weeks along.”
Heather's gaze shifted from anger to a glimmer of surprise as she looked at Maureen.
Eight weeks-that meant two months ago, when she’d been living with Geoff.
The child in her womb was Geoff's!
“Dr. Wilson, please ensure she receives the best care. Especially the baby-nothing can go wrong.”
“Rest assured, Mrs. Potter.”

How could Heather rest? Her son fought for his life in the ICU, and Maureen’s grandson must be protected.
She left to check on Geoffrey.
At that moment,
Maureen forced her heavy eyelids open, scanning the room.
Her hand drifted to her abdomen before dropping to her bandaged leg.
“Ms. Ramirez, you're awake?”
A nurse adjusting Maureen's IV spoke softly.

Maureen's lips felt parched. “My baby-"
“The baby’s fine. You've got superficial injuries, though the leg wound is slightly more
serious.”
The nurse added, “Thank heavens Mr. Sutton shielded you. The outccould've been unthinkable.”
The passenger seat is the most dangerous place.
Maureen immediately asked, “How's Geoffrey?”
During the surgery, she'd vaguely heard the doctor say he might die.
“Mr. Sutton is still in the ICU. His condition isn’t looking good,”
the nurse replied.
Maureen tried to sit up, but the nurse stopped her: “You won't be able to see him now. Get srest first.”
Still dizzy, Maureen lay back down.
Upon hearing she’d woken, Katherine and Justin rushed over.
Justin had been following their car when the accident happened, but couldn't stop it in time.
He'd since identified those responsible.
Katherine checked Maureen over: “Reenie, how are you feeling?
Any discomfort?”
Maureen shook her head: “I'm alright.”
Justin stepped forward: “The driver who hit you has been arrested. Goes by Mr. Long overseas.”
“He was seeking revenge against Geoffrey.”
Justin explained how Geoffrey had put Mr. Long out of business abroad.
Maureen listened silently, finally understanding Geoffrey hadn't let things slide after Mr. Long harassed her.

Her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Katherine held her hand and said cautiously, “Reenic, the court was supposed to grant the divorce today, but
after Tyler explained your situation, the ruling changed. They denied the divorce.”
Maureen showed no emotion upon hearing this.
“I see.”
“Whatever you do, don’t let Aunt Zoe or the two children know about my situation.”
Katherine nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, | already told Justin.”
Justin stood guard outside Maureen's hospital room.
Katherine stayed inside with her, listening as she mentioned Heather seemed to know about the pregnancy.
“What should we do?”
Maureen rubbed her throbbing temples. “I don’t know yet. It depends on whether Geoffrey wakes up.”
“I sneaked over to the ICU earlier. Bodyguards were everywhere inside and out-no outsiders could get through.
Even when | asked about Geoffrey's symptoms, the doctor refused to say anything.”
Katherine whispered.
Of course. Geoffrey was the backbone of Sutton Group. With him incapacitated, they'd never risk leaking
information.
“Katherine, you and Justin should go rest. I'll call if anything happens.”
Maureen just wanted proper rest.
“But you're alone here...”
“The doctor said it’s just surface wounds-nothing serious. One night's rest and I'll be discharged tomorrow.”
Maureen explained.

“Alright.”
Only then did Katherine leave.
Justin was guarding outside the hospital.
After they left, Maureen watched the falling snow outside and sank into deep thought.
If Geoffrey died, she would never find peace for the rest of her life.
Outside, the wind howled fiercely, bending a bamboo tree low under the weight of snow outside the window.
The nurse brought dinner for Maureen, but she only took a few bites before losing her appetite.
Heather pushed the door open without a word, walked to the window, and drew the curtains shut.
Compared to her former radiant self, Heather now looked utterly haggard, her face deathly pale.
The room sank into tomblike silence.
Heather finally turned to Maureen, cutting straight to the chase: “You're carrying Geoff's child, aren't you?”
Maureen instinctively lied: “No.”
Heather's eyes hardened.
She forced herself to stay calm: “There’s no need to lie. | know you were only with Geoff during the tyou got
pregnant.”
“Were you keeping watch over us at night too?”
Maureen shot back.
Heather was left speechless.
With Geoff still unconscious and Maureen denying the child was a Sutton-
Would the Sutton Family really be handed over to outsiders?
She couldn't accept it!

“Maureen dear,” Heather softened her tone, approaching the hospital bed, “I know | was too harsh before. But
lying toover something like this is too much.”
“Whether that child is a Sutton isn’t yours to decide alone.”
