Chapter 4

She tore up the business card and threw it on the ground, then clutched her chest and coughed violently:

"Damien, I can't breathe! Quick, take me to the hospital!"

With that, she collapsed into Damien's arms.

Damien scooped her up and rushed out, turning back to snarl:

"Lydia, if anything happens to Primrose, I'll make sure you never work in this field again!"

"Security, seal off all exits! Let them figure their own way out!"

With that, he disappeared down the hallway carrying Primrose.

The head of security looked down at me apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Shaw."

Then he followed orders, locking down all exits, shutting off the emergency elevator, and left with them.

I lay on the cold tile floor, my whole body shaking:

"Chairman Frost, you should go now! You can still get out through the fire escape!"

"Don't worry about me, I really can't move! If I don't make it, please call the police for me. I swear I'll divorce Damien even if it kills me!"

Chairman Frost's eyes welled up: "Don't talk nonsense. The ambulance will be here soon. You have to hang on!"

My vision grew darker and darker until finally, I couldn't see anything at all. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a private, high-end hospital room. I could hear Chairman Frost raging.

"What? All the best burn specialists in the city have been called away by Fullhouse Restaurant?"

"Not a single one can be brought in? Who does Damien think he is? Neglecting his pregnant darling for some side chick?"

"Well, Damien has certainly taught me a lesson!"

"Driver, start the car. I'm heading to the branch office right now to demand some answers. Let's see how he explains this to me!"

Meanwhile, at the Fullhouse Restaurant branch, Primrose was lying in Damien's arms, playing the victim.

"Damien, you should go check on Lydia! My asthma is an old condition, it won't kill me. If something really happens to her, you'll feel guilty."

"After all, she's your lawfully wedded darling. What am I compared to that? I don't want to be the reason you're cursed at."

Damien held her tighter. "Don't think too much. I've already called the best specialists to treat you. Nothing will happen."

"With me here, who would dare say anything?"

Just as he finished speaking, Chairman Frost burst in with her people: "Break down that door!"

Damien was startled by this sudden intrusion. "Who the hell are you?" "How dare you come to our company to make trouble?"

Primrose quickly grabbed Damien's arm. "Damien, she looks so fierce. Is she a helper sent by Lydia?"

Damien immediately shouted, "Security! Throw her out! Call the police if she causes any trouble!"

"Yes, sir!"

As the security guards were about to step forward, Chairman Frost's assistant flashed her credentials. "Everyone, stop right there! We have video evidence. Does Mr. Channing really want to destroy his own reputation with his own hands?"

The security guards, upon seeing the credentials, bowed repeatedly in fear. "Chairman Frost, hello!"

Damien and Primrose were dumbfounded. "Is it really Chairman Frost?"

Chairman Frost sneered, "Damien, you're quite capable, aren't you? Keeping all the best specialists in the city here while your darling's life hangs by a thread with no one to care for her."

"I'd like to see just how a small-time boss like you thinks he can be so arrogant."

At that moment, Chairman Frost's assistant rushed in. "Madam Chairman, it's terrible! Ms. Shaw is hemorrhaging severely. The baby can't be saved, and she's barely holding on!" Chairman Frost's face changed drastically as she called out to the doctor, "Quick, come with me to save her! We'll settle this score later!"

Chairman Frost rushed back to the hospital with Damien following close behind.

Just as they reached the entrance, a nurse came out carrying a basin of bloody water. "The fetus was a boy..."

Damien stumbled, "What child? That's impossible..."

At that moment, a nurse's shout rang out, "Doctor! The patient is hemorrhaging severely, we need help immediately!"
