Laura, Doris, and Rupert surrounded the doctor and asked, “Doctor, how’s our mom?”

The doctor looked at the anxious trio and said, “She has multiple soft tissue injuries and two fractured ribs, but her life is no longer in danger. She just needs proper rest.”

Hearing this, Doris, Laura, and Rupert all visibly sighed in relief.

Peyton was transferred to a ward. Laura, Doris, and Rupert followed her there.

Peyton lay unconscious on the hospital bed, her face deathly pale, an IV drip attached to her hand.

Rupert received a phone call and left..

When he got home and entered the living room, a pillow came flying straight at him.

Caught off guard, Rupert was hit, but he didn’t get angry. He picked up the pillow, walked over, and sat beside Claudia. “Honey, what’s wrong?”

“Rupert, stay away from me.” Claudia scooted away, clearly unwilling to be near him.

“Honey, don’t be mad. Getting angry isn’t good for your health or the baby.” Rupert moved closer and hugged her.

Claudia pushed him away with a cold expression. “Oh, so you know stress is bad for me? Then why aren’t you doing something about finding a job and making money? You left early this morning–where the hell were you?”

Rupert answered truthfully, “Mom got into a car accident. I was at the hospital. The moment you called, I came straight home. What, did you miss me?”

“Dream on!” Claudia had been irritated ever since Rupert lost his job at Watson Group and could no longer stand the sight of him.

“I’m still carrying your child, and you don’t even have a job to support me and the baby? When I married you, what did you promise me? Now you’re
