The phone slipped from her hand, her body consumed by fatigue and pain.
Tears streamed down Mark’s face as he listened to Rena’s faint words.
In the meeting room, his sudden display of vulnerability shocked his employees. His secretary quickly looked into it and whispered the news of a gas explosion in Duefron’s high- class residential area, with all roads blocked. It was a dire situation.
Clutching the phone tightly, Mark remained composed. “Prepare the private plane immediately! We’re heading to Duefron. Mobilize helicopters to reach the site as soon as possible. Every second counts!”
He had already lost his sister Reina.

The sudden redness in his eyes accentuated the gravity of the situation as he left the meeting room. His composure shattered, a testament to the depth of his emotions.
Upon Mark’s arrival in Duefron, his subordinates, along with Korbyn’s people, had already gathered and swiftly transported Rena to the hospital.
In the delivery room, doctors and nurses busied themselves under the incandescent lights.
“The fetus is at seven months, a premature birth,” the doctor informed them urgently.
“A natural labor is necessary as an emergency C- section is not viable given the mother’s condition.
However, I must warn you, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, that the fetus’ condition is critical, with a low chance of survival. Furthermore, the mother’s life… is also in jeopardy.”
The doctor was hinting that when the time came, if they gave up on the baby who had a low chance to survive to begin with, Rena would suffer much less.
Rena would suffer greatly if she proceeded with the birth, considering the pain caused by the explosion and the impending childbirth.
Just as Mark arrived, Korbyn, faced with an agonizing choice, decided that Rena’s life took priority.
Although torn, they couldn’t bear to ask Rena to sacrifice herself for the baby. Rena was more important.
Also, they didn’t have the right to ask Rena to sacrifice her life for Fowler family!

Mark’s anger trembled in his facial muscles upon hearing the news regarding Rena and her baby. Without hesitation, he sought out Waylen’s whereabouts. “Where is Waylen? His wife is giving birth to their child!”
Korbyn pounded the wall, his guilt gnawing at him.
He had no prior knowledge of Waylen’s location, having just been informed by Jazlyn.
Regret filled his heart as he realized the weight of his past actions.
Mark, understanding that further inquiries were futile, did not say anything further.
He swiftly made his way to the delivery room, ignoring all protocols.
