Doctors from the emergency room rushed over after hearing what had happened.

The moment they saw me lying on the gurney, covered in blood and barely breathing, one of them stepped forward quickly.

"Mr. Cobb, the patient is suffering from severe hemorrhaging. The baby has no vital signs. We need to start emergency treatment immediately."

Eugene frowned, his voice growing more impatient.

"The doctor already told me the blood and the baby's coloring are fake." His eyes flickered suspiciously. "Did she pay you, too?"

The doctor's face flushed with anger. "I've never taken a bribe in my life. We should call the police!"

Eugene let out a cold laugh. "Alright, alright. Listen to me first. Go take care of Fiona's baby. Give him a proper bath and make sure both mother and child are looked after. Nothing can go wrong with them."

"Mr. Cobb!"

The doctor stomped his foot in frustration.

"The patient's condition is extremely critical. She's experiencing massive internal bleeding, and her throat has chemical burns. If we delay any longer, she'll go into shock. The baby may not be breathing, but there's still a window to try resuscitation."

But Eugene ignored the doctor completely.

He waved his hand and ordered his people to pull the doctors and nurses away.

"Go take care of Fiona first. If anything happens over there, none of you will be able to handle the consequences."

The doctor was dragged away. Before leaving, he looked back at me with helpless regret in his eyes.

The smell of blood filled the hallway. It was so strong that it made people cover their noses.

One of Eugene's assistants couldn't stand it anymore.

He hesitated before speaking, "There's too much blood on Mrs. Cobb. Maybe we should let the doctor check her first…just in case this is real."

Eugene snapped his head toward him, his gaze icy. "What, did she bribe you, too? I didn't realize Rachel was that capable."

He turned and started walking away, his voice cold.

"Rachel, I never thought you'd go this far just to get attention. Using your own child like this… I'm really disappointed in you."

I tried to sit up, wanting to tell him the truth.

But all the emotion trapped in my chest turned into a mouthful of blood.

It burst from my lips and splattered across the baby's cold little face in my arms.

My vision blurred, while my body felt heavier and heavier. The dizziness from the blood loss swallowed me whole.

Just as everything was about to fade into darkness, I heard a voice beside me.

It was both familiar and aching with worry.

"Don't be scared, sweetheart. I'm here."
