Timothy remained composed as he stated, “You’re welcome to open the curtain and see the effect. I’ll take care of the cost.”
“Alright, since Timothy is willing to pay, why not give it a try?” Mia pondered.
In reality, Mia was only assuming based on past experiences; she hadn’t yet observed the stage effects of this particular design.
On the other hand, Kennedy was thrilled and quickly arranged for the stage effect to be demonstrated.
Soon, the hall was filled with music. As the stage curtain rose, Mia watched her design come to life; she couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
A few minutes later, the opening stage effect came to a close.
Mia paused for a moment, contemplating. “You know, the curtain does seem a bit much. Let’s have it removed.”
As Mia arranged for the curtain to be removed, she was suddenly overcome with nausea. Rushing to a nearby trash can, she began to throw up.
Mia felt as if she were purging everything from her stomach.
Could it be caused by something she ate for lunch?
As Mia paused, a bottle of mineral water was offered to her. She couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s long. elegant fingers as he handed it over.
Mia didn’t hesitate to take the water, quickly opening it and having a few sips, which instantly revitalized her.
However, she felt some discomfort and gently touched her lower abdomen, unable to pinpoint the cause but sensing that something was wrong.

Furrowing his brow, Timothy glanced at Mia’s stomach. “What’s wro
“It’s nothing serious, just feeling a bit nauseous from the greasy meal I had earlier.”
Mia didn’t think her nausea was a major concern, as she had been managing her pregnancy quite well, with only occasional morning sickness.
As she prepared to leave. Timothy held her wrist, his gaze intense. “You should go to the hospital for a check¨Cup,” he said firmly.
Mia looked at him, surprised by his sudden concern, and subtly moved her hand away. “It’s not a big deal; there’s no need to go to the hospital.”
But Timothy stepped in front of her, his tone tinged with annoyance. “Don’t you realize your current condition? What if there’s a problem? Are you able to manage it?”
Timothy frowned. It seemed to him that Mia, as a pregnant woman, lacked self¨Cawareness.
Timothy understood the delicate nature of pregnancy, knowing that any lack of care could result in serious complications. He was aware of the risks involved in childbirth.
Mia was about to decline, but Kennedy interjected. “You’ve really been pushing yourself these past few days, Mia.
“Since everything here is almost set up, perhaps you should just listen to Mr. Barrett and go to the hospital. It’ll ease his worry.”
Mia couldn’t fathom why Timothy would be concerned about her.
It appeared that Kennedy’s actions were solely aimed at pleasing Timothy.
Timothy’s demeanor also became slightly uneasy, causing an instant shift in the atmosphere between them.
Feeling uncomfortable, Mia turned away and responded, “It’s fine. I’m just experiencing a slight stomach.
ache from lunch.”
She was reluctant to go to the hospital just because of a mere morning sickness, fearing the embarrassment it might bring.
With that, Mia began to depart, yet after only a few steps, her vision blurred, and her legs faltered beneath her.
Just as Mia was on the brink of falling. Timothy caught her with his broad arms.
Straining to open her eyes, Mia glimpsed Timothy’s handsome profile, his features distinguished and appealing.
Mia found herself incapable of speaking, overwhelmed by a pervasive weakness that eventually caused her to lose consciousness.
Timothy lifted her tenderly, swiftly leaving the hall.
As he settled Mia into the car, he urgently instructed, “Proceed to the hospital at once. Notify the ob¨C gyn to prepare for an immediate examination.”
With that, Timothy bowed his head, gazing at the unconscious Mia in his embrace, noting her somewhat pale complexion.
He kicked Rodger’s seat and firmly instructed, “Drive faster!”
With determination, Rodger sped toward the hospital.
Dr. Dakota Hudson stood by the hospital’s entrance, waiting for their arrival.
As Timothy carried Mia out of the car, Sky hastily approached him. “Mr. Barrett, as doctors and all the required equipment are on standby.”
Timothy’s expression remained stoic as he inquired, “Where is the operating room?”
“On the third floor,” Kennedy confirmed.
you requested, the
He stood by, feeling helpless as he watched Timothy carry Mia toward the elevator, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Kennedy was perplexed by Timothy’s actions but hesitated to voice his confusion.
Heath quickly approached and caught up with Timothy. “Mr. Barrett, it would be faster to use a gurney.
This way, the doctors and nurses can examine Ms. Bowen promptly.”
Upon hearing Heath’s suggestion, Timothy’s tone sharpened. “Where’s the gurney?”
Sky promptly directed a nurse to fetch it. Timothy gently laid Mia onto the gurney and then turned to Sky. “She’s pregnant: she fainted after vomiting.” he elaborated.
Due to his initial haste. Timothy had overlooked the quicker option of utilizing a gurney.
Having regained his composure, he promptly detailed Mia’s symptoms to Dakota.
Sky’s attention was immediately captured after learning about Mia’s pregnancy. “Mr. Barrett, you can trust us to prioritize the safety of both mother and child.”
“This is critical. Should anything happen to her, it could lead to serious consequences for your hospital.”
Timothy observed as the gurney was swiftly wheeled into the operating room for examination.
He removed his suit jacket, loosening his tie as sweat dampened his back.
Standing outside the operating room, Timothy’s gaze shifted to the blinking red light.
Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, he turned to Heath and asked, “Is childbirth truly as risky for women as people claim?”
Heath nodded solemnly. “I had a cousin who encountered a blood clot complication during childbirth. It felt like a battle against death during the rescue operation.
“My cousin’s mother¨Cin¨Claw objected to the cost of the surgery, unwilling to spend such a large amount of money just for her to have a child.”
Upon hearing this, Timothy pursed his lips. “Your cousin’s mother¨Cin¨Claw sounds truly reprehensible.”
“Yeah, that’s true. That’s why pregnancy is incredibly daunting for women. I never fully understood it until now, but seeing my cousin’s experience has truly highlighted how perilous it can be.”
Timothy grew quiet, his thoughts drifting into contemplation.
-hild into the
Faced with the risks of childbirth. Timothy started pondering whether bringing Mia’s unborn child world was the right decision.
After all, if circumstances didn’t turn out as expected, he could always consider the option of adopting a child later on.
Before long, Dakota emerged from the operating room. “Are Mia’s family members present?” she inquired.
Timothy stepped forward. “That would be me.”
“You must be Mia’s husband, right? Mia has been experiencing extreme tiredness lately due to the stress she’s been under, which has resulted in poor nutrition and low blood sugar levels.
As her spouse and the father of her twins, it’s imperative that you prioritize caring for Mia’s well¨Cbeing and take on additional household responsibilities during this time.”
Timothy found himself at a loss for words.
Noticing Timothy’s displeasure, Sky hurried over to alleviate the tension.
“Mr. Barrett, Dr. Hudson is the most esteemed doctor here, though she can be somewhat straightforward. However, her heart’s in the right place.”
Timothy managed to control his frustration and turned to Dakota. “Will Mia be okay?”
“Mia and the babies are currently stable, but if this persists, there could be complications,” Dakota explained.
She added, “Mia is also mildly anemic and lacking calcium. Please ensure she receives appropriate supplementation.”
Timothy clenched his jaw as he contemplated Mia’s tireless efforts in decorating the university hall over the past few days, a sense of guilt creeping over him.
Shortly after, Mia was brought out, still asleep on the gurney.
