"What... what?"
Nichole's expression went stiff. How could Ricardo and Mr. Briggs know about her visit to the Burke family?!
"Rowena."
A deep, chuckling voice arose not far away, and at that moment, Nichole was paralyzed. When she turned around, she saw Ricardo's face, half-smiling.
Nichole clenched her fists nervously.
Ricardo approached Nichole and said, "Why are you dressed so lightly today? It's cold outside. You should wear more."
"Thank you..."
Nichole tried to control her trembling. She wondered how Ricardo would react after discovering she went to see Bea.
"Dad, I'm not feeling well. Can I go home now?"
Nichole turned to Mr. Briggs for help, but Mr. Briggs only thought Nichole didn't want to reconcile with Ricardo, "Rowena, I have to travel for business in the next few days, and I don’t want to leave you alone at home. I've asked Ricardo to take care of you. If you're not feeling well, go upstairs and rest. Ricardo and I have things to discuss."
Hearing Mr. Briggs's words, Nichole felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. Without Mr. Briggs, her only protection was gone!
She had betrayed Ricardo and didn't know what he would do to her.
"Rowena, if you're not feeling well, go get some rest. I'll have someone call the doctor to check on you."
Ricardo's eyes were dark, emitting a bone-chilling coldness.
"I... I'm fine..."
"You're carrying a child, so you need to be extra careful."
At the mention of the child, Nichole immediately protected her stomach. Her instincts told her that Ricardo would never let her go!
He would start with the child in her womb.
"Ms. Nichole, please follow me." A maid came forward to lead Nichole upstairs. Nichole had no choice but to follow, her heart heavy.
Once upstairs, Nichole thought about escaping, but the maid had already locked the door from the outside, making it impossible to open from within.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
No matter how Nichole banged on the door, the maid simply said from outside, "Mr. Ricardo has instructed that you need to rest well, Ms. Rowena. The doctor will come to check on you soon, so please rest well."
Nichole heard the maid's footsteps fade away and felt an overwhelming fear.
The doctor...
What exactly was Ricardo planning?
