After saying that, she turned around and left. The tears she had been holding back finally began rolling down her cheeks.

She already understood everything when Jack stepped out of the bathroom. He was not concerned about her being drenching wet, but he was more concerned about the secret on his phone. She had had enough disappointment in him, and she would no longer try to deceive herself.

Her mind was muddled as she returned to her rented house. It was an old residential building that was only five stories high. No one managed the building. There were more than ten units on each floor, and the residents were made up of different groups of people. She could hear angry grumbles from the drunk men in other units. The corridor was dark at night, and it was terrifying for anyone to walk through the corridor alone.

Jodie stood in front of her unit and adjusted her emotions before taking out her keys. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the door lock. They had changed the door lock after moving in, but now, there were scratches on the door lock, and it seemed damaged.

Her palms began to sweat due to her anxiety. She found a metal rod in the corner, and she picked it up before pushing the door open. After turning the lights on, she saw a complete mess inside. The place that was spick and span before this had become an unpleasant sight. Her mother, Raina, was lying unconscious on the floor.

“Mom! Mom, what happened to you?” She rushed forward and held Raina as she cried like a child. All these events had taken a huge toll on Jodie, and she could no longer continue putting up a strong front.

Raina’s lips were pale, and she was unconscious. Jodie panicked and called Margaret's number. Margaret had fallen asleep when she received the call. “Hello? Jo, what's wrong?”

Jodie sobbed, “Someone broke into my house, and I don’t know what happened to my mom. I just can't seem to wake her up. What should I do? Meg, you have to help me. Please...”

Margaret was shocked. She hurriedly got out of bed. Due to her huge movements, she felt the pain in her abdomen again, and she grimaced. Despite the unbearable pain, she sull said over the phone, “Jo, don't panic. Send me your location, and I'll be there with some bodyguards. Don't worry, li will be okay. You have to make sure that

you're safe until we arrive, do you understand?”

Jodie was never the kind of girl that would cry and beg for help unless things were out of her control. Knowing this, Margaret was anxious. She endured the pain in her stomach and went downstairs to get Fredrick and two bodyguards before heading to Jodie’s place.

After arriving at the creepy old residential building, Margaret felt like crying. She had never been to Jodie's place ever since Jodie moved, and she had no idea that the latter ended up living in such a terrible place.

It was a chaotic building and was filled with all kinds of people. Thus, the area was difficult to manage.

When they arrived upstairs, Jodie was crying sorrowfully.

Margaret called the police and sent Raina to the hospital. Fortunately, Raina only passed out due to extreme shock, and her life was not at risk.

Jodie cried for two whole hours in Margaret's arms in the hospital's corridor. She told Margaret everything. Margaret was frustrated and sad for Jodie, but the pain in her stomach was so torturous that she could not even say something to console her friend. She began sweating due to the pain, and her vision went blurry too.

Fredrick noticed that and asked, “Mrs. Lewis, are you feeling unwell?”.

Margaret covered her stomach and endured the pain. “I'm fine. You guys can go back now. I'll stay here with Jo. If Christopher asks about me, you can tell him what happened.”

Fredrick nodded in response and left the hospital with the bodyguards. Margaret then slumped down in her chair and said, “Jo... My stomach hurts..."

Jodie wiped away her tears and called for the doctor. After running tests on Margaret, the doctor concluded by saying, “Your pregnancy is unstable due to exhaustion. You should get more rest for the time being. We can only determine your situation after a week because your current condition is too poor.”

Jodie was shocked to hear that. “Are you pregnant? Whose baby is it?"
