Luckily, Jeffrey had always been concerned about Karen's well-being, so they had resident
obstetrician on call at home.
With a single command, several doctors rushed over in a flurry.
"Don't worry! There's still fetal movement. We'll get the fetal monitor on right away!"
Karen grimaced through the pain, her face pale, "Jeffrey, the baby... please, make sure nothing
happens to the baby..."
"Relax, this is my daughter we're talking about. I'll make sure she's born safe and sound!" Jeffrey
squeezed her hand tightly. Inside, he was more anxious than anyone, but he couldn't let that show
in front of Karen. That would only make her more anxious.
"It hurts..." Karen moaned.
Jeffrey stroked her hand over and over, wishing he could take the pain upon himself, "Just hang in
there! For our baby!"
After calming Karen, he quickly pulled one of the doctors aside and spoke in a low voice, "Don't say
anything alarming in front of my wife! She's already in a fragile state and can't handle any upsetting
news. I have only one request: keep my wife safe!"
"Understood! Rest assured, the babyâs mature, so even in the worst-case scenario, there's a good
chance for its survival if she delivers now."
Hearing this, Jeffrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Karen was his priority between the baby and her, he naturally hoped for the baby's safety
too. This was the child they had fought so hard to bring into this world. The sacrifices and hardships
Karen had endured for this baby were immense.
"I leave it in your hands then. A safe delivery for mother and daughter, and there will be a reward for
everyone!" With those words, Jeffrey hurried back to Karen's side.
Looking at the monitor's fluctuating waves, he frowned, "Is that the fetal heartbeat? How's my
daughter doing?"
"The fetal movement and heart rate seem normal for now, but there are already signs of bleeding.
We recommend transferring to a hospital for better-equipped facilities."
"Yeah! Do it now!"
For Jeffrey, nothing mattered more than the safety of Karen and their daughter.

In the flight, Quincy was engrossed in medical textbooks, not resting for a moment.
She truly loved the medical profession and had a particular fondness for the lab. The satisfaction of
developing new medications was unparalleled for her.
As the plane prepared to land, Quincy packed away her books and took out her phone, planning to
make a call once they landed.
But as soon as the plane steadied on the runway and the cabin doors opened, several people burst
in.
Quincy was startled. At first, she thought it was a hijacking.
"Dr. Quincy, sorry to disturb you, but could you come with us, please?" Kevin approached Quincy
personally, his tone polite but his demeanor leaving no room for refusal.
Quincy didn't recognize him, and naturally, she was not about to comply easily.
"And who might you be? Why should I go with you?" she asked.
"Who I am is not important. Would you prefer to come willingly or be compelled, Dr. Quincy?"
"What do you think you're doing in broad daylight?!" she snapped.
Kevin smiled, "Our boss wants to meet you."
Quincy frowned, "And who is your boss?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Kevin didn't speculate on Mr. Lopez's intentions; his job was simply to
carry out his orders.
