that something was wrong.

blood! I don’t think the pregnant woman or her baby will survive.”
“She’s so unlucky. She was just standing by the side of the road, but the van lost control
and hit her.” “The poor baby. From the size of her belly, the baby looked like it was coming
along any time.”
“Alas, yet another family in despair.” “The pregnant woman could’ve avoided the van, but
she wanted to save the other child, so that’s why the van rammed into her.”
Nicholas heard the ongoing discussion. His blood turned cold and his footsteps grew
heavier as his hands trembled violently. Gregory was sitting on the side of the road, frozen
in fear.
