Lost Me Gained Regret

"No dice yet."

Gregory was all calm and collected, "I've sent someone to dig into it. Should have something by tonight."

When I got back to Elmwood Villas, I bumped into Mr. Abdul, who had come over to do acupuncture for Ramona.

Before I could even say hi, I saw Zoe running out, looking all panicky.

"Ramona's fainted."

I rushed to the room, collapsing next to Ramona, noticing her lips turning blue, tears instantly falling, "Ramona!"

Gregory followed swiftly, realizing he couldn't comfort me, he simply said, "Jane, let Mr. Abdul check on Ramona."

I calmed down a bit, making room for Mr. Abdul.

At moments like this, I hated not being a doctor; feeling utterly helpless.

Especially since Ramona had collapsed, I feared she might've hit her head. If I accidentally moved her wrong, who knows what danger I could cause.

Seeing me just kneeling there, Gregory couldn't stand it, "Zoe, grab a cushion for me."

Zoe hurriedly brought one over.

"Ramona is important, but so is the little life inside you. If you have to kneel, do it on this cushion."

Hearing Gregory's words, my hand instinctively went to my belly.

Ramona was over the moon when she found out I was pregnant; I couldn't risk anything happening to the baby.

So, I followed Gregory's gesture and sat on the cushion.

Gregory finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Abdul, "Mr. Abdul, what's going on? I thought we had the toxins under control?"

Mr. Abdul checked her over, "Let's move the lady to the bed first."
