Nathan couldn''t fathom the consequences of the adhesion between the centa and the uterine wall.


    With haste, he reached for his phone, eager to search online for answers.


    M promptly stopped him, her tone reassuring. "Don''t look it up. The inte is full of scaremongering.


    There''s nothing to worry about."


    Nathan''s heart weighed heavy, his arm instinctively pulling her closer and nting a tender kiss on her


    forehead. "I''ve missed another check-up. I''m failing as a husband and father."


    M''s voice softened. "It''s okay. I don''t me you. But when I''m giving birth, I need you by my side."


    Nathan sped her hand, bringing it tenderly to his lips. "I''ll be there for you and our child, I promise."


    "No matter how busy you are, I want you to witness our baby''s first moments. And I hope the first


    person I see after leaving the delivery room is you." "I promise you, I''ll never leave your side on the


    delivery day."


    With a contented smile, M closed her eyes and leaned into his warm embrace. Nathan held her


    closer, enveloping her in his arms.


    Suddenly, the phone rang. M picked it up and saw Fenna''s name shing on the screen. In that


    instant, all happiness seemed diluted as she handed Nathan the phone with a hint of displeasure.


    Taking the phone, Nathan tried to pull away from M gently, whispering, "I need to answer the call."


    M remained unmoved, her expression sour. "Is there something I shouldn''t hear? Take it here, on


    speaker."


    With a sigh, Nathan caressed her head gently and put the call on speaker.


    Before he could utter a word, Fenna''s panicked cries filled the air. "Nate, help me. Save me..."


    Nathan''s face darkened, tension coursing through him.


    Hearing the plea for help, M promptly stood up, making way for Nathan.


    As Nathan stood, urgency tinged his voice. "What''s going on? Where are you?"


    At that moment, Cole emerged, his eyes fixed on Nathan, ready for action.


    Fenna''s cries ceased, reced by a stranger''s voice. "Neb za, top floor. General Morrison, if you


    don''t arrive within half an hour, be prepared to collect her body."


    "You-" Nathan''s words were cut short as the call abruptly ended. His expression turned grave as he


    instructed M, "Stay home. Don''t go anywhere."


    With that, he walked past M, heading out with determined strides. M quickly turned and called after


    him, "Nate!"


    Nathan halted, turning to face her, urgency evident in his burning gaze. "What''s wrong?"


    M seized his hand, her tone


    cautious. "Send Cole and a team to


    rescue Fenna. They specifically


    asked for you. It feels like a trap. Something''s off."


    With time pressing, Nathan couldn''t afford to linger. He gently freed himself from M''s grip and


    reassured her, "I''ll take care el


    of


    myself. Trust me, I''ll be back soon."


    Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Nathan, her voice tinged with desperation. "Nate, please let


    Cole handle this. Stay here with me."


    Nathan tenderly brushed away M''s tears, his touchforting. "Be good. Wait for me at home. I''ll be


    back to be with you soon."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
