“Try to rest now. I’ll call Tina and ask her to come look after you,” Nathan murmured, his voice softening with genuine
concern.
Sadie acknowledged him with nothing more than a faint hum, her listless gaze fixed on the sterile ceiling tiles above her.
Witnessing her in such a detached state, Nathan chose silence over empty reassurances. He pivoted on his heel and
departed the hospital room with hurried, purposeful steps.
He required Tina’s presence without delay. The situation had spiraled far beyond the boundaries of his capabilities.
And compounding his growing anxiety, the looming challenge of explaining this situation to Patrick still awaited him.
When Nathan’s call illuminated her phone screen, Tina had been nervously pacing the room with mounting concern.
Sadie had merely mentioned feeling somewhat fatigued and requiring brief respite–how had her condition deteriorated so
drastically that she now lay unconscious in a hospital bed?
Nathan had divulged few specifics during their brief conversation, offering only an urgent directive to hasten to the
hospital without a moment’s delay.
Tina terminated the call, her heartbeat thundering against her ribcage with escalating dread. Consumed by mounting panic,
she snatched her coat from its hook and bolted through the doorway.
Only upon arriving at the hospital entrance did she glance downward and discover that in her frenzied departure, she had
mismatched her footwear, each shoe adorning the incorrect foot.
But such trivial matters registered as utterly inconsequential in this moment. She hastened through the antiseptic corridors
until identifying the correct room number.
Not until her eyes confirmed the sight of Sadie propped upright against starched pillows, complexion ashen yet mercifully
alert, did Tina finally release the breath she had unknowingly imprisoned in her lungs.
“Oh, Sadie!” Tina lunged toward her friend’s bedside, moisture welling in her frightened eyes. “You terrified me beyond measure! Nathan mentioned you collapsed–my mind immediately conjured the worst possibilities…”
Sadie observed Tina’s distressed expression and summoned a weak smile to her pallid lips. “I’m managing well enough.
Extreme exhaustion overwhelmed me I simply lost consciousness momentarily. Please forgive me for causing such
distress.”
Tina suppressed a sniffle and attempted to regain her composure, blinking back the remnants of unshed tears. Suddenly, recollection of Nathan’s additional revelation during their telephone conversation resurfaced in her mind.
“Sadie, Nathan revealed something extraordinary… you’re carrying a child? What’s happening? What course of action
should we undertake now?”

Sadie’s fragile smile evaporated instantaneously. A contemplative silence enveloped her for several heartbeats, her previously vacant gaze crystallizing with newfound determination.
“Listen carefully, Tina. I require you to establish contact with Blaine–with absolute discretion. Inform him his presence in Beversea is urgently needed at the earliest possible opportunity.”
Certain matters existed within this complex scenario that only Blaine possessed the skills and connections to navigate successfully.
Tina’s entire body momentarily immobilized, her intuition instantly registering the profound seriousness underlying this unexpected request.
She didn’t dare ask any more questions. She nodded seriously. “Alright, Sadie. I’m on it.”
She pivoted sharply and hastened from the sterile chamber, eyes already scanning for a secluded location where she might place this critically sensitive telephone call without unwelcome eavesdroppers.
In the meantime, Rodger traversed the threshold of the imposing Higgins Manor, an uncharacteristic melody escaping his lips as contentment radiated from his typically severe countenance.
His spirits soared to unprecedented heights- fortune had apparently chosen this precise moment to bestow her elusive favor upon his ambitious schemes.
Jarrett glanced upward from his wheelchair, genuine astonishment crossing his features. His father’s display of unbridled cheerfulness constituted a truly unusual phenomenon.
“Dad, what extraordinary circumstances have transformed your typically stoic demeanor into this unexpected jubilation?”
Rodger’s already expansive smile stretched further when he saw his firstborn. He advanced toward Jarrett with energetic
purpose.
“Jarrett! Most magnificent developments have transpired! Ms. Hudson carries within her womb- Nathan’s offspring!” His proclamation resonated throughout the room, undisguised exhilaration permeating every syllable.
“With this child, our alliance with the Wall Group is sealed. Henceforth, our dominant position within Beversea society stands utterly unassailable!”
Jarrett’s countenance hardened into impenetrable granite. That worthless disappointment Nathan had genuinely succeeded in impregnating Sadie?
At that precise moment, Ophelia appeared at the top of the grand staircase, having just begun her journey downward when Rodger’s thunderous declaration reverberated throughout the expansive living room. Her body froze in mid–motion, paralyzed by shock.
Sadie carried a child? Nathan’s progeny grew within her? Impossible–utterly inconceivable! Her mind refused to accept such an egregious reality.
The blood drained precipitously from her features, leaving behind an alabaster mask of disbelief as she lurched awkwardly down the stairs, equilibrium compromised by emotional devastation.
“Rodger! What preposterous statement have you just uttered? How could Sadie possibly find herself with a child? To whom does parentage of this alleged baby belong?”
Rodger’s expression contorted with disapproval at her unbridled emotional eruption. He was visibly irritated by this unseemly display of vulnerability.

“What alternative paternity might you possibly suggest beyond Nathan’s?” he retorted, his syllables sharpened with undisguised annoyance.
Through Rodger’s critical gaze, Ophelia’s status deteriorated steadily into an ever–deepening chasm of familial
embarrassment.
He had consistently bestowed preferential treatment upon Jarrett, his firstborn pride, while regarding Nathan as nothing more than the family’s perpetual disappointment.
However, the life developing within Sadie’s womb–this represented nothing less than the glorious destiny of the Higgins family! An unparalleled strategic advantage capable of generating immeasurable rewards!
The entire landscape of power had transformed irrevocably.
Rodger dismissed Ophelia’s presence entirely from his consciousness. He pivoted decisively and ascended the staircase. “I
must select an appropriate gift for Ms. Hudson. Something substantial enough to guarantee the continued health of both
mother and child.”
The expansive living space now contained only Jarrett and Ophelia, enveloped in a suffocating silence punctuated by
unspoken rage.
Ophelia remained rooted in position, a glacial coldness permeating her very marrow. Why had fate bestowed upon Sadie
the privilege of bearing Nathan’s child? She alone deserved to stand by his side- never this interloping Sadie! That calculating temptress had undoubtedly employed dishonorable tactics to secure his affections!
Jarrett remained confined to his wheelchair, his visage clouded with a malevolence that mirrored Ophelia’s own internal
tempest.
Sadie carried a new life within her. Furthermore, Nathan had fathered this consequential offspring. Should she successfully deliver this infant, the corporate entities of Higgins Group and Wall Group would become even more intertwined.
Upon realization of this eventuality, Nathan–alongside his supposedly betrothed partner–would thoroughly overshadow Jarrett’s influence. His already tenuous position within the familial hierarchy would deteriorate toward complete
irrelevance.
Absolutely not. Under no circumstances could he permit such a catastrophic realignment of power to materialize!
