Chapter 483
Ethan Hale took off his suit jacket and draped it over Mia Carter and their child.
His familiar scent enveloped Mia, bringing her an inexplicable sense of peace. He was the man she had been trying so hard to avoid, the one who shouldn’t have been in the delivery room at all.
Yet her instinct told her that with him here, the chaos would fade and the unknown danger had vanished.
She lifted her arm, resting it gently on the tiny, pale-yellow bundle. Feeling the warmth and the slight movement of the baby, her eyelids fluttered before she drifted back into an endless, heavy exhaustion.
Ethan personally wheeled her out of the delivery room, his hawk-like eyes filled with a sharp, desolate intensity.
“Get Cole Preston to the ER. Subdue the others and find out exactly what they were after.”
“Yes, Mr. Hale!”
Cole stood up, stumbling as he followed Ethan. He leaned his arm on Ethan’s shoulder as they exited the delivery
room.
“Ethan, I’ve officially repaid my debt to you.”
With that, his footsteps faltered, and his body swayed before he collapsed.
“Cole!”
Nina Torres came around the corner just in time to see the bruised and battered Cole. The baby bottle in her hand hit the floor with a sharp clatter.
She rushed forward, catching the swaying Cole.
“What happened? Where’s Mia? What the hell is going on?!”
This was supposed to be a delivery room, but it looked like a battlefield. The doors were shut tight, yet she could still hear the muffled sounds of shouting and equipment being smashed inside.
She let go of Cole and lunged toward the delivery room,
“She… she’s fine…”
Cole grabbed her wrist, gasping out the words before losing consciousness completely.
As Nina tried to pull away to force her way inside, a man in a sharp suit stepped out.
The door closed quickly behind him, but she caught a glimpse of the scene inside. The room was full of men-bruised, groaning, and bleeding. The air was thick with the scent of copper.
“Mia! Where is Mia?!”
Nina’s eyes were red with panic. “Who are you people?!”
A bodyguard helped Cole up and shot Nina a glance. “Please rest assured, Miss Torres. Miss Carter is safe, but you cannot see her just yet.”
“Why can’t I see her? Whose people are you?! Hand her and the baby over right now, or I’m calling the police!”

Nina chased after the guard and Cole as they headed toward a treatment room, but she was quickly blocked by the other bodyguards following behind.
Sometime later, Mia was pulled from the darkness by a chorus of crying.
She opened her eyes to a sterile white ceiling. Her stomach felt empty, and a searing, burning pain reminded her that she had just undergone a C-section that morning.
Fragmented memories pieced themselves together in her mind. Instinctively, she tried to prop herself up to sit.
The movement tugged at the incision in her lower abdomen. The pain was so intense she broke into a cold sweat and collapsed back onto the pillows.
‘Waaaah! Waaaah!”
