“No. I checked on her earlier, but I didn’t get any response,” Jacob answered.

“Mrs. Valentine slept quite early last night, didn’t she?” The housekeeper was confounded. “She usually comes downstairs at around eight.”

Upon hearing that, Jacob thought something was off. She’s usually not a sleepyhead, so why didn’t she reply earlier?

“I think she’s feeling unwell because of her pregnancy.” Jacob put down his cup and stood up. “I’ll take a look at her.” He returned to the master bedroom and knocked on the door. “Josie, are you feeling unwell? Josie?”

Even after he yelled her name a few times and knocked loudly, she still didn’t respond.

His countenance turned grim as he opened the door.

Upon entering the room, he saw Jessica grimacing, although her eyes remained closed.

Jacob hastily went up to her and patted her cheeks. “What’s going on with you, Josie?”

It was then he realized she was covered in sweat.

Without delay, he put a coat on her and carried her downstairs.

He said to the housekeeper, “She’s not doing well. I’m sending her to the hospital right now. Take care of my friend when he wakes up and tell him where I went.”

The housekeeper nodded. “Understood! Call me if you need anything, Mr. Valentine.”

Just as Jacob left, Wyatt woke up.

Upon sitting up, he rubbed his temples as he still had a headache.

He studied the bedroom and recalled he had called Jacob last night. I think this is his place.

“Goddamnit! How dare he let me sleep on the carpet!” He glowered when he realized he was on the ground. I can’t believe he just tossed me onto the carpet. I usually treat him so well!

Seeing that his suit had gotten all wrinkly and smelly, Wyatt frowned and went to take a shower.
