Natasha's sickness acted up all night, stirring up a commotion in the Ludwig family.

That showed how serious her condition was.

Just as Mikayla and Carlos went downstairs hand in hand, all ready to leave, Myla, who took care of Natasha, ran in from outside and shouted in a panic, "Bad news, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig! Ms. Ludwig had a seizure and passed out in the garden!"

Mikayla was stunned.

"I'll go check!" After dropping that, Carlos strode toward Myla. After asking about the situation, Selena also zipped out of the room. A group of people began to bolt outside.

'For real? What a coincidence,' was Mikayla's thought. Of course, she did not wish to read into it. The point was that Natasha fainted right after she and Carlos stepped away. Regardless, she marched ahead and followed Carlos. A heart attack was no joke, after all.

Mikayla just stepped out of the hall when she saw Carlos returning from the garden with Natasha in his arms.

Before she could ask, Natasha's delicate voice came, and Carlos stopped. "I'm sorry, Mikayla. I didn't mean it. Really."

"Sorry for what?" Mikayla was confused to see tears on Natasha's cheeks. 'Why's she apologizing just because she fainted?' she wondered.

Almost at the same time, she also noticed that there was something off with the gazes toward her from the crowd, including Selena, who had always been kind to her. Carlos pursed his thin lips, carried Natasha into the living room, and put her on the couch. Mikayla, who had no clue about what was going on, followed. "Mom, keep an eye on Natasha. I'll get Dr. Guzman." Carlos laid Natasha down and spoke to Selena before picking up the phone and walking to the side.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so close to Carlos, Mikayla. Don't be angry," Natasha cried out emotionally. Suddenly, she covered her chest and began to gasp for air. "Calm down, my darling Natasha," Selena was beside her daughter, whispering with tears.

Mikayla simply stood there, frowning and watching Natasha.

"Mikayla..." choked out Natasha.
