strange.
The crowd quickly rushed past us, and amidst the panic, | was pulled into a car.
| hurriedly searched for Munchkin when | saw that he had been picked up into the car. | quickly carried him from
Keith's grasp and protected him tightly in my arms.
However, looking aroundagain, | did not see Theo's figure.
Far away, | saw a man kneeling in the hospital lobby. There was blood pooling on the floor.
| wanted to shout, but before the words could leave my throat, my eyes went dark.
Stpassed before | finally saw light again. | slowly opened my eyes after | had adjusted to the light and
realized that | had returned to my hin Zenon.
| was a little surprised, not daring to believe that | was actually back.
Propping my body up with force, | looked left and right repeatedly to confirm that this was indeed Zenon.

Could everything from before be just a
dream?
Was | dreaming now?
| touched my belly subconsciously, but it was a pity that it was still too early in the pregnancy. | could not feel
anything now.
How did | get here?
What happened at the gates of the hospital?
In my anxiousness, | heard the sound of the lock of the door behind turning.
| turned to look back and saw Theo coming in with a tray. "Are you awake?" His smile was gentle. He looked
different from back when he was in the conference room before.
"Why am | here?"
He put the hot milk down on the table and walked up towith a slight smile. "You got a shock when you were
at the hospital and fainted. Fortunately, we were lucky. You and the baby are all right."
He cforward and wrappedin his arms. His one hand was aroundwhile the other was caressing my
belly.
| heard this, and my heart that was suspended in the air finally eased.
"But back at the hospital, | clearly saw you...

| clearly remembered the scene being chaotic at that time. | was taken into the car, then Munchkin was also
carried into the car by Keith. | was so scared that | quickly wrapped him in my arms.
However, Theo disappeared when | was looking for him after that.
When I scanned the floor of the hospital lobby, | saw a man in a black suit lying there. | thought Theo was
injured. Theo steadiedand ledto the bedside. Pulling away the blanket, he motioned forto rest for a
bit. "The person you saw was notbut my double, or the one you saw when you first entered the hospital." He
explained to me, "It was deliberately done to confuse Alex, but I didn't think that he would actually open fire."
There was a hint of sternness in Theo's expression when he spoke till this point.
| knew that while he had all sorts of means when it cto business, he had always been kind in nature.
"We initially planned to have the
double go in and negotiate with Alex first. That way, we could buy stime. Then, | would sneak into the

got you."
Theo paused. "As for the double, he's of no use to Alex. Considering his person, it was impossible that he would
conduct lawlessness. That's why we didn't think too much of it."
Theo picked up the hot milk and handed it toas he said this.
"It could have been that the people under him bechasty when they sawleaving with you and actually
opened fire."
| could tell that there was another meaning hidden in Theo's smile.
"But don't worry, he wasn't hurt too badly. Keith managed to send him to the hospital in tafter that. The
doctor said he would be fine after a period of recovery."
My heart that was suspended in mid-air finally eased.
Theo continued, "After that, we also quickly made a police report. The one who opened fire has been
apprehended. Since Alex is afraid of getting into too much trouble, he left the country the night after.
My face was expressionless. | did not even bother sneering internally.
