Ryan personally escorted Yanis and Zane to the door.
"Uncle Baxter, you go in. We're heading back," Yanis greeted Ryan before getting into the car.
Ryan nodded, "Sure, drive safely."
Ryan watched Yanis and Zane leave before turning back inside. He headed straight to the second floor and, upon opening the door, immediately noticed Madison crying.
"What's going on?" Ryan walked a few steps closer, standing by the bed and looking at Madison. "Did Yanis say something?"
Madison grabbed Ryan's hand, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Yanis... Yanis is pregnant."
Upon hearing Madison's words, Ryan was both surprised and quickly smiled, saying, "That's great news."
"Yes, it's great news. I'm happy for her," Madison replied, her voice filled with emotion.
Ryan comforted Madison, "Alright, it's a good thing."
Madison nodded, but she still struggled to control her emotions.
Ryan sat by the bedside, chatting with Madison for a while until she calmed down. He then left the room and went downstairs.
Sitting on the couch, Ryan, an occasional smoker, lit a cigarette and contemplated for a while before dialing Ivan's number.
However, the call went straight to voicemail.
Meanwhile, Yanis was on the phone with Ivan, candidly informing him about Madison's situation.
After listening to Yanis, Ivan didn't respond immediately. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "I understand."
"When are you planning to come back?" Yanis asked directly.
Ivan replied, "Day after tomorrow."
Yanis didn't press further and simply agreed, "Alright, we'll talk when you're back."
"Sure."
Surprisingly, Ivan didn't engage in small talk with Yanis this time. After discussing Madison's situation, he hung up without further ado.
After ending the call, Yanis let out a sigh.
Zane gently held Yanis's hand, trying to soothe her, "Don't worry."
Yanis returned the gesture, gripping Zane's hand and whispering, "She doesn't know how long she can hold on."
"Why not go to the hospital in this situation?" Zane asked.
Yanis had discussed this with Ryan earlier, but he had mentioned that Madison didn't want to go to the hospital. It was a situation where everyone understood the outcome, and being in a hospital would only prolong the agony.
In the end, staying at home would spare Madison from further suffering. So, Ryan had decided to bring her back home.
After hearing Yanis's explanation, Zane didn't push the matter further.
It was close to 10 PM when they returned to D-King Castle. Yanis took a shower and headed straight to bed. Zane, on the other hand, dealt with a few urgent emails in his study before finally getting ready for bed.
As Zane lay down, Yanis snuggled up to him like an octopus.
Zane reached out and held her, asking, "Can't sleep?"
"Can't sleep," Yanis replied as she nuzzled against Zane's chest. Then she added, "Actually, I fell asleep earlier, but I had a bad dream and woke up. Now I can't sleep again."
Zane lightly patted Yanis's back to soothe her, "It's alright, I'm here."
