Helena didn't even know what had triggered it.
She had been perfectly fine just moments ago.
Her hands gripped the edge of the mattress, knuckles turning white from the sheer force of her grip.
The agony seeped deep into her bones.
This wasn't a dull ache anymore; it was pure, blinding pain.
She struggled to rise, but a sudden, violent cramp sent her collapsing onto the floor.
She was in too much pain to even speak.
A terrifying, damp sensation began to spread between her legs.
The color drained from her face entirely.
"No... no..." Helena forced herself to stay calm.
Without a second thought, she reached for the phone to call Arthur.
But the line rang and rang, entirely unanswered.
Helena's entire body trembled violently.
The villa had become deathly quiet.
Meanwhile—
Sebastian had retreated to his study.
From this vantage point, he had a much clearer view of Janetta than from the master bedroom, which was partially obstructed by the gazebo.
He watched her standing in the relentless storm.
Her umbrella was completely useless now.
Too weak to hold it against the wind, she had let it blow away.
She was wearing only a thin sweater, which offered zero protection against the biting cold.
Drenched by the heavy rain, the soaked fabric clung to her skin. It didn't take a genius to know she was freezing.
Having known Janetta for ten years, seeing her like this genuinely shocked Sebastian.
He truly hadn't expected it.
The Janetta in his memory was impossibly spoiled; she would cry at the slightest discomfort.
She would never step outside in severe weather.
Even when filming, she made sure to avoid harsh conditions.
Whether it was scenes involving water, heavy rain, or even horseback riding, she had always used a stunt double.
She never had to worry about a thing.
Sebastian had personally managed her team to ensure her comfort.
Everyone in the industry knew it, but because of Sebastian's power, no one dared utter a word of complaint.
