The fear of losing her babies crept into Angeline's mind.

She bit her lip and yelled, "Send me to the hospital!"

Ned looked back at Angeline slumped against the door while clutching her stomach. Before he could react, the bodyguard lifted her into his arms and ran to the hospital.

Ned felt a tug at his heartstrings. He wanted to follow Angeline, but the bodyguards stopped him and mercilessly called the police in Ravorian.

"You're not going anywhere before the police arrive, Mr. Fletcher," the bodyguard said with a stoic face.

...

Sean had just landed at Lonla when he received the news about Angeline from Ravoria. Sadness quickly covered his expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lawson. It's our fault for not protecting Ms. Emmerson," the bodyguard said.

"Fortunately, both Ms. Emmerson and her babies are safe. The doctor said she would be hospitalized for a night and discharged tomorrow morning."

Sean turned to Taylor after hanging up the phone and said, "Taylor, bring the meetings forward. We're headed to Dmont after the meeting."

Taylor was startled but quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

Sean had been busy with work on his flight from Dmont and hadn't stopped even after he landed. Now, he planned to fly back to Dmont. Sean truly had deep feelings for Angeline. James knew of Angeline's incident the night it happened and had Gregory take her place for the conference instead.

It was already afternoon when Angeline arrived at the conference hall.

While Gregory was trying to find the research data from their lab, Angeline had no time to remove her coat. She quickly sat at Gregory's place to accurately report the data they found. Gregory looked up and saw Angeline explaining her data calmly while taking off her coat. He compared the data he reviewed while listening to Angeline and found no mistakes. "And with that, I will end the presentation for the data from our laboratory. Thank you."

Following Angeline's closing speech, the conference moved on to the next topic.

The conference ended after two hours. James and Gregory approached Angeline to ask about her condition.

"We have come to an end for this conference," James said.

"I've talked to Professor Sharpe. I will take his apprentice back to Lonla when the conference is over. And you, Angeline, you will go with Professor Sharpe!"

James smiled and whispered, "Try to learn everything from Professor Sharpe and bring them back to us. With your intelligence, I'm sure you'll pick them up instantly!"

Angeline grinned and replied, "Don't worry, Professor Dickson. I can handle it!"

After James and Gregory left, Angeline packed up her documents and left the conference hall.

As she was going down the stairs toward the hotel, Ned choked and pinned her against a pillar. "N-Ned!"

Angeline dropped her bag and documents. She grasped at Ned's hand in an attempt to free herself.

"Are you crazy? Let go of me!"

"Why did you keep the babies?" Ned yelled.

"If it weren't for the babies, Ingrid wouldn't have been run over by a car yesterday! I wouldn't have been blocked by the bodyguards, unable to stop her! And Ingrid wouldn't have been dying from the car accident!"

Angeline felt breathless from being choked. She hit Ned's arm with force.

Ned didn't let go of Angeline despite her face turning red. It was as though he had lost his mind from Ingrid's accident.

Angeline tried all she could to save herself. She kicked Ned in the crotch, causing him to release his chokehold and retreat from the pain.

Angeline almost fell to the ground while gasping for air. She stared at Ned in fear while slowly moving back.
