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.

"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.

Gregory patted my face, "I'll be right back." "Okay." I reassured him, "I'll be right here, waiting for you and for Ramona to wake." That's when Gregory felt at ease to leave with Lucius.
"Spill it." Lucius lowered his voice. "Mark's definitely the mastermind." Gregory wasn't surprised; he never liked Mark.
Anyone who laid eyes on his wife was no good in his books.
But he glanced at his watch, not skimping on praise, "Your efficiency has indeed improved." "Old sayings do hold truth." Lucius wasn't expecting any compliments.

"Maybe ease up on the muscle training; could do your brain sgood." Lucius sighed internally.
Gregory was always unpredictable, and guessing even a bit of tim intentions was a win. But sitting in his car, Lucius had an epiphany.
