Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 400: "Candice, wake up! Please wake up!" he called out, his voice growing louder with every passing second. But his cries were swallowed by the sound of rain and thunder. Candice sensed a faint warmth and heard a familiar voice. Was it her imagination, or was it really Milton? She struggled to open her eyes and saw a figure before her, bathed in the bright light of the advertising light box. It was Milton. Her body ached all over, especially her belly, which throbbed with pain. "Save my child..." she pleaded in a trembling voice, clutching her lower abdomen tightly.

Those were the last words she spoke before losing consciousness completely. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed across the sky as rain poured down in torrents. Milton held Candice tightly in his arms, sheltering her from the rain. She lay there lifeless, and his mind went blank as he struggled to figure out what to do. Born into a wealthy household, he had never experienced anything like this before. Fear gripped him, a feeling entirely new and deeply painful. He extended his hand and gently stroked her pale face and bruised temple.

She had blood on her face, and he was curious about what had happened. He seemed to have arrived too late. The bright incandescent light from the hotel's entrance illuminated their surroundings. The light revealed his handsome features, but at that moment, he was distressed. His face grew somber, and his eyes lost their sparkle. Discover fresh tales on gαℓησνs․çо Confused, he held Candice in his arms. Though he was drenched, she remained untouched by the rain. More and more people gathered around, but he ignored their voices. His mind was blank.

The sound of the ambulance's siren finally snapped him back to reality. He rushed with her in his arms to the ambulance. As the doors closed, the paramedics loaded Candice onto the stretcher. They noticed her bloodstained clothes and, while monitoring her pulse and blood pressure, administered oxygen. "Is she pregnant?" one paramedic asked Milton. "We received an emergency call about someone slipping and tumbling down the steps." "Yes," Milton replied, his hair soaked with rain. "Will the baby be okay?" he asked with trembling lips. "I can't answer that yet.

The ambulance has no equipment to determine that. We won't know until she undergoes hospital tests." . . .
