Maria forced herself to stand and open the door. Sidney was already there, his eyes narrowing in concern when he saw her pale face and the way she was hunched over in pain.
“What happened?” he asked as he stepped forward to steady her.
Maria leaned into him, her voice weak. “My stomach... it hurts a lot. Take me to the hospital.”
"Alright," Sidney said, his tone serious. He helped her sit down in a chair, quickly grabbing her phone and bag before lifting her into his arms and hurrying out of the room.
As they reached the hallway, Tiana happened to return and immediately blocked their way. "Hey, where are you taking her?"
"Move," Sidney said, his face dark with urgency.
Tiana looked at Maria, noticing how pale and sickly she seemed. She was clearly in bad shape.
Without further argument, Tiana stepped aside but followed closely, her voice filled with concern. "Maria, do you still know what's happening? Do you know who’s carrying you?"
"Yes," Maria whispered softly.
Hearing that, Tiana breathed a small sigh of relief, but a flicker of confusion crossed her mind. Wasn’t this man someone else’s boyfriend? How could Maria trust him so easily?
There was definitely something going on.
Tiana made up her mind to let her brother know right away—she couldn’t let someone else take advantage of the situation.
She quickly sent Herman a message, urging him to come as soon as possible.
Sidney carried Maria swiftly to the parking lot and placed her gently in the passenger seat. Without missing a beat, Tiana jumped into the backseat. Sidney didn’t seem to mind; his focus was entirely on Maria’s condition.
Maria’s well-being was the priority right now.
Once inside the car, Tiana fired off another text to Herman, her worry etched on her face as she glanced at Maria.
