Crossroads

Tension filled the hospital, with everyone moving with a sense of urgency The door to the wand burst open as several doctors rushed in.

Stephanie tried to get up, but the nurse quickly pressed her back down to the bed. "Ms. Reed, you can't move now."

"Ms. Reed, the wound on your arm caused significant blood loss. Combined with your recent malnutrition and the emotional trauma... Well, luckily, you were brought in on time, or we couldn't have saved the baby. You have to stay still for now," an elderly doctor in a white coat advised, his hair thinning

"Director, Ms. Reed's blood pressure, temperature, and blood work are all back within normal range..." The others quickly examined her

"Ms. Reed, how are you feeling? Any pain or discomfort?"

Stephanie looked bewildered, watching the flurry of anxious doctors before her, her mind completely blank.

Outside the hospital room, the corridor was even noisier...

Kevin's voice, tinged with imitation, cut through the noise. "Mom, why did you make me come here? I don't want to see hert

"Didn't you hear about it at the banquet? Stephanie's gone too far this time. I heard she hit the kid. Joyce got glass shards all over her hands, and she is your own granddaughter, for heaven's sake!"

"How dare you bring that up to me?"

Stella's face clouded over with anger. "Kevin, I've told you before. I don't care what you do outside, but bringing them up at the Wellingtons event is too much...

"Now Steffi is pregnant, try to be nice to her. And make sure your grandfather doesn't hear about your affair. Go inside and see her."

"Stephanie is pregnant?" Kevin was momentarily stunned.

His expression twisted into a grimace as he stepped forward, pressing for answers. "Mom, what did you just say?"

His face was sullen, and he threw his phone onto the corridor floor with a loud crash.

"Stephanie's pregnant? How is that possible? I've never even touched her Kevin ranted in frustration.

Stella looked utterly stunned. "You've been married for three years. How could you never have..."

But now that Stephanie was pregnant....

"It's my child."

A deep, magnetic voice cut through the tension from the far end of the hallway, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps A group swiftly moved down the VIP floor corridor of the hospital, and even George was with them.

At that moment, the hallway fell silent.

Stella and the others were too shocked to speak, and the words echoed in their ears.

He said it was his child.

MO Stella looked at Dominick and frowned, forcing a smile, "Dominick, such jokes are not funny. Besides, you've been living abroad. You don't even know

"I know Stephanie," Dominick replied coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, His voice was deep as he repeated, "She is carrying my baby."

"What the hell did you say?"

George's face darkened as he slammed his cane onto the floor forcefully.

"Dominick, you owe an explanation!" George's voice, aged and stern, warned with a cold intensity.

The people in the hospital corridor were all trembling in fear, It had been years since George had lost his temper like this.

Brad was concerned. "Mr. George Wellington, please calm down... Be careful With your blood pressure."

He added, "Mr. Wellington is not a reckless man. There must be some misunderstanding..."

Dominick pressed his lips firmly, showing no intention to speak m further. He looked at the hospital En. room, seemingly lost in thoughts.

Inside, Stephanie lay deathly pale on the bed, staring blankly at Dominick's eyes. Her mind was in turmoil.
