Fernanda was rushed to the emergency room.
Daniela held her stomach and let out a sigh of relief.
As long as treatment began, there was still hope.
However, thinking of Fernanda's complexion...
Daniela's heart sank again.
Harold was being held by Ivan at the manor, not allowed to leave.
Daniela and Ryan didn't dare to delay. Leaving Andy and Nora to watch over Fernanda, they rushed back to the company.
She knew her limitations and didn't dare to take on too much.
She called Rory back and worked with Ryan to handle the company's affairs.
With most of the company's personnel being promoted by Sebastian, they finally stabilized the situation and avoided any major issues.
Once everyone left, Daniela slumped onto her chair, her expression uncontrollable and contorted with worry.
Her stomach ached terribly.
She was almost full term.
These days, her contractions were becoming more frequent and lasting longer.
It wasn't painful, just uncomfortable.
When they started, her belly felt tight, as if it would split open.
Yet, there was nothing she could do about it.
Then there were the fetal movements.
The little one was strong, kicking and punching Daniela, sometimes making her feel like her belly would burst.
Combined, these two reactions made for a constant lack of peace throughout the day.
Daniela's emotions had been heightened today, coupled with her busy schedule, making her even more uncomfortable.
She was longing for the day she could give birth to the baby.
Before this wave of discomfort had passed, the door to her office was knocked again.
Ryan stood at the door, looking equally helpless, "Madam, it's time for the meeting."
Daniela looked helplessly at the ceiling, patted her stomach, which was strained and deformed, and forced herself to stand up...
…
In the evening, Daniela returned to the hospital.
Fernanda had been temporarily moved out of the emergency room and into the intensive care unit.
The doctors didn't have a good solution for her current condition.
The old woman had been ill for a while now.
It was already difficult to recover, and now with the sudden news of Sebastian's accident, who could say what would happen?
Daniela closed her eyes helplessly.
No matter what, she had to stay strong and not collapse.
Emilia rushed over from behind and supported Daniela, "Daniela, you need to rest for a while."
Her face was filled with worry.
There were many people from the Romero Family. Yet, after such a major incident, besides Andy and Nora, only Daniela had stepped up.
Daniela was a pregnant woman.
She needed rest and care more than anyone.
Daniela gave Emilia a weak smile and shook her head, "I'm fine."
Nora wiped away her tears and said, "Madam, go and rest for a while. I'll watch over Mrs. Romero."
Everyone had changed their address, calling her "Madam," in order for Daniela to be officially recognized as the head of the Romero Family.
"Right now, the family is counting on you, you can't fall ill."
"Yes," Emilia agreed, "Don't forget, you have a child in your belly."
With their persuasion, Daniela glanced at Fernanda in the ward, nodded, and headed towards the hospital corridor to rest.
Bernard arrived a few steps behind, approaching them directly, "I've booked two rooms, Daniela, go to your room to rest."
"We'll watch over things here."
Daniela looked up and saw Adam behind him.
Adam, who rarely showed any emotion, stepped forward and supported Daniela, "I bought some soup, sis, drink some."
A wave of warmth suddenly washed over Daniela's heart.
She still had family and friends by her side.
Daniela returned to her room, ate a few spoonfuls of soup, and lay down in her clothes.
…
Despite feeling exhausted, Daniela couldn't fall asleep and tossed and turned in bed.
In a daze, she heard sounds coming from outside.
There were footsteps, cries, conversations, and the sharp beeping of machines...
Daniela suddenly woke up, rolled over, got out of bed, and rushed out of the room...
