Lola felt a bit relieved when she saw that Yolanda was also pregnant. She wouldn't be that stupid to harm her.
"What do you want?" Lola didn't want to let her come inside; for the safety of her own babies, she had to be as far away from that woman as she possibly could.
Yolanda enviously looked at Lola's big belly. She had already heard that she was having twins.
"Nothing special, but I just wanted to visit you, since you are close to giving birth." She then slowly started moving closer Lola.
But Lola backed up several steps, and warned her, "That's none of your business. Don't come near me any closer."
Yolanda ignored her warning and kept pressing ahead. Her moves filled Lola with a bad feeling, and so she returned back to the castle in big strides. "Tom, get her out of here." She ordered Tom, the guard that was standing behind her.
Tom instantly rushed over to pull back Yolanda, but Yolanda angrily watched him, pressing nearer. Then, she threatened him, "Will you be able to be held accountable if something ever happens to the baby inside of me?" This made Tom hesitate in his actions.
When he halted, Yolanda then rushed behind Lola, who had managed to enter the castle. On her right was a large swimming pool.
Then it all happened. With all her strength, Yolanda pulled Lola and ran with her towards the pool.
"Ah!" Lola screamed in panic. She then knelt down and hit her belly against the pool's sill.
Tom hastily rushed over and tried to control Yolanda. Unable to move any further, Yolanda just pushed Lola into the water, trying to drown her.
The pool wasn't deep, but not shallow either. Lola sank, and while she choked on the water, she struggled to lift her head up, but in vain.
Yolanda began laughing hysterically. She cursed her in her mind. "Miscarry! Miscarry, Lola! Oh, she doesn't know how to swim. If she doesn't have a miscarriage, then she'll drown."
This completely shocked and scared Tom. He released Yolanda and then jumped into the water to rescue Lola.
In the midst of all this mess, Yolanda crept out of the manor, took a car and left the place.
Lola had almost drowned when someone held her head up above the water.
Tom and another guard dragged Lola back to safety.
"It hurts..." Lola couldn't help but scream painfully as her labor pains suddenly began.
Two guards then called Harry and reported of the incident right away.
When he received their call, Harry immediately left the meeting he was in and then drove back.
If something bad were to happen to Lola, he would kill the woman with his own hands, without waiting for Lola's advice or ideas.
Seeing that the guard called again, Harry knew that things weren't going well.
And he was right. "Boss, Mrs. Si... Mrs. Si is about to give birth to the twins..." Tom's trembling voice came sounding from the phone's speaker.
Harry hung up and then rushed to the manor at full speed.
He put on his blue-tooth earphone with one hand, and dialed Chuck's number with the other.
He tried to calm himself down, and said, "My wife is in labor." But his voice still quivered.
He ran past several red lights and even caused a rear-end collision, but he ignored all of this and instead kept accelerating the car.
After hanging up, Chuck pondered curiously why was Lola having the baby now when the due date was about a dozen days later.
But he didn't have much time to think it through, and so he quickly called over the gynecologist and prepared the surgical stuff together.
