Chapter 205

In the sterile hospital room, Ludwik gently placed Whitney down before silently exiting, the door clicking shut behind him.

“What’s the deal?” Whitney muttered to herself, now alone with Natalie

in the quiet room.

Ludwik left the villa through the back entrance, disappearing into an upstairs room.

The guard in the security room nearly jumped out of his skin, snapping to attention. “Boss?”

Ludwik watched the woman on the monitor and said simply, “Leave us.” The guard glanced at the unexpected lady of the house on the screen. What was the Boss up to? Without questioning further, he left as

ordered.

Downstairs, Whitney was clueless about Ludwik’s whereabouts, but she wasn’t about to waste a precious moment.

She moved back to Natalie’s bedside, taking her wrist gently, a sad smile on her face. “Finally, a moment alone with you, Mom. I’m going to check your pulse.”

After checking, she sighed and started a gentle hand massage,

followed by some pressure points, then carefully turned Natalie over to her other side.

“This is like a little workout, Mom. I’ll explain the pressure points to Taryn later. For now, let me clean you up. I know how you like to be fresh and tidy.”

She stepped into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and meticulously washed Natalie’s face and hands, even removing her socks to massage each toe.

“Is this pressure alright? I know you can’t tell me, but I feel you can sense it,” she whispered playfully.

After tending to Natalie, Whitney returned to the bedside, placing Natalie’s hand gently on her belly.

“The baby’s been so good, usually so calm. But lately, there’s been more activity. I’ll bring this child into the world, and maybe that’s the only promise I can keep to you. You know, he’s getting engaged at the end of the month. You wouldn’t want to see me stay under any other
