Before Madeleine could nod, Kevin suddenly tugged on her
hand.
“Mom, you should go with Dad.”
“Kev?”
Madeleine looked at him, surprised.
“I know you’re worried about Mrs. Miller too, Mom. I’ll be fine. I
can stay here and play with Aunt Rebecca.”
Madeleine’s nose tingled.
What did she do to deserve such a thoughtful son?
“Sweetheart, are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“Yeah!”
Kevin nodded firmly. He was a big boy now.
In a situation like this, he knew he needed to take care of
himself and not worry the adults.
Chapter 312
After leaving the little guy with Rebecca and Adrian, Madeleine,
Roderick, and Bradley rushed to the hospital together.
On the way, Roderick was on the phone with the maid who took
care of Mrs. Miller, trying to get more information.
It turned out they had scheduled a yoga teacher to come to the
house for a prenatal yoga class today, which would help with
the delivery in two or three months.
But the teacher suddenly canceled, so Mrs. Miller decided to go
out for a walk instead.
Owen was worried and stayed right by her side. But while he was just getting her a cup of water, she collapsed in the mall.
“So, Dad wasn’t there when it actually happened.”
“Yeah.”
Roderick nodded. “We’ll have to ask Mrs. Miller.”
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Mrs. Miller had already been taken to the emergency room in
the OB/GYN department.
Bradley went to check with the medical team. After learning

that besides Dr. Eleanor, the others were also top OB/GYN
specialists, he felt a little relieved.
“Owen, don’t worry. Mrs. Miller will be fine.”
Bradley walked over to Owen. He was sitting on a chair with his
head down, his face grim, not saying a word.
Madeleine bought some water and crouched down.
“Dad, have some water.”
Owen’s tense nerves finally eased a little. He didn’t want to
drink, his throat was dry and tight, making it hard to even
swallow.
But seeing Madeleine’s worried expression, he took it without a
word.
All they could do was wait.
The group fell into a silent understanding. The air seemed to
freeze, with only the glaring red of the indicator light and the
smell of disinfectant hanging in the air.
Time ticked by, each second feeling exceptionally long.
Owen remained in the same position, his back straight, his

hands clenched into fists on his knees.
Madeleine watched him, her heart aching a little.
Finally, the door to the emergency room was pushed open from
the inside.
Bradley was the closest. Seeing it was Dr. Eleanor, he quickly
went up to her.
“Dr. Eleanor, it’s Bradley. How is my aunt?”
Owen, who was sitting on the bench, quickly stood up. His legs
were numb from sitting for so long, and he stumbled, steadied
by Roderick and Madeleine.
“Doctor, my wife… how is she?”
“Don’t worry.”
Eleanor took off her mask, revealing a kind–faced woman
whose tone was instantly reassuring.
“The patient is out of immediate danger. There were some signs of placental abruption, and her blood pressure is a little high. Although she’s still unconscious, her condition is stable
for now. We’ll continue to monitor her for the next 24 hours.”
Chapter 312
When she finished, Dr. Eleanor paused for a couple of seconds
and glanced at Bradley.
Being a doctor himself, Bradley knew that Dr. Eleanor was
sugarcoating it.
He thought for a moment before saying, “Dr. Eleanor, please
just be straight with us.”
“Over the next 24 hours, if there’s any sign of trouble, we might
have to terminate the pregnancy to save the mother.”
At those words, several pairs of worried eyes turned to Owen.
They knew better than anyone how much Owen had been looking forward to this child.
