The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Back in the living room, Cecilia couldn't help but remind him to take extra care during this time. "Not a single detail should be overlooked."

Richard, worried, tapped his cane lightly on the floor and said, "Why worry? Vivienne is blessed, and so will our child be. As the first great-grandson of the Ellington family, nothing will go wrong." Percival chimed in with a few words of support.

Understanding the importance of etiquette, Richard stood up and said, "Now that Vivienne is alright, let's all head home and not disturb her rest."

Before leaving, he turned to Percival, "Oh, and on my way here, I had some nutritional supplements picked up for Vivienne. Make sure she gets enough of those when you're home."

Just as Percival was about to respond, Richard sternly added, "This time it's a pass, but if I hear anything about Vivienne or the baby coming to harm again, I won't let it slide so easily!" Percival laughed, "Understood, Grandpa. Don't worry."

Meanwhile, Vivienne was about to check on the commotion outside when her phone rang. It was Finnian.

"You okay, kiddo? I heard about the Perez family being attacked. I'll be there tonight."

Vivienne, surprised, asked, "Master, how did you find out?"

Finnian sighed, "How could I not know when I'm so close to your grandfather? Something this big couldn't escape my notice."

He then asked about her condition, "I heard from your mom that you had some trouble. Is it serious?"

Vivienne truthfully replied, "I was affected a bit by using my powers last night, but it's nothing to worry about."

Finnian advised, "With your condition, you should really limit using your powers. They're too strong and could harm the baby." Before Vivienne could respond, she heard Dawson's voice from the phone, "Vivienne, are you alright?"

"Dawson is with you?"

Finnian, sounding resigned, said, "He insisted on coming along. I couldn't stop him."

After the call ended, Percival walked in.

Seeing him alone, Vivienne asked, "Mr. Wolf, where are Grandpa and my parents?"
