"Yes," Lis answered in a tired whisper. She admitted that much. "I'm not really a good mother to you two."

Seeing Lis acting weak like this only made Ramon even more furious. "Does father's death have anything to do with the man named Leon?"

Lis widened her eyes and squealed. "Ramon! You're being outrageous!"

But, before Ramon could say anything or validate his claims, his cell phone started ringing and he couldn't ignore the call because it was from Pyro, which must have something to do with Hailee.

Ramon quickly picked up the call and his facial expression changed as soon as he heard the first sentence from Hailee's bodyguard.

"What is it?" Lis asked when she saw Ramon standing up quickly before half sprinting out of the restaurant.

==============

For a moment, Hailee heard a commotion outside her ward, but in the next second Ramon's face came into her view.

The worried look in the man's eyes told Hailee how panicked her husband was at the moment.

After entering the room, Ramon didn't say anything. He just sat beside Hailee's bed holding her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing the back of his woman's hand gently.

"How do you feel?" Ramon asked when he saw that Hailee was showing no signs of pain or sadness, which meant their baby was fine.

"Just tired," Hailee said, then she briefly explained what her doctor had told her, while Ramon listened intently.

Hailee felt pain in her stomach and after that felt a warm liquid running along her thighs, which was confirmed afterward to be blood.

In a panic, Hailee asked Pyro to take her back to the hospital and meet the same doctor who had examined her.

Luckily they were still near the hospital, so Hailee could get examined quickly and was also treated immediately.

For now, Hailee and the baby were fine, but she had to be administered with two bags of saline before being allowed to go home and rest completely.

She also shouldn't think about too many things that could stress her out, which was easier said than done, because how would she be able to avoid doing so even if she wanted to?

However, seeing how she had harmed their baby by not taking care of herself, Hailee tried to comply and not push herself, for a while she would assume that the problems she was facing didn't exist.

Whether it was a problem with Giana or Aileen. Hailee could think of the two of them later…

"You are going to rest completely," Ramon repeated Hailee's words about the doctor's advice. "I will make sure you rest well."

Hailee nodded, she didn't reject or deny Ramon's words, because she herself was utterly shocked when she saw the blood flowing between her thighs and had thought about the worst that she might face.

Meanwhile, Lis was across the room, talking to the doctor who treated Hailee to find out the details of the condition of her daughter- in- law and future grandson.

"What about mom?" Hailee asked quietly, she couldn't help but ask, you could say it was instinct.

However, Ramon shook his head and smiled. "Fine," he said flatly. "Later."

Later, after Hailee's condition was much better and after his wife had given birth to their baby safely, because Ramon didn't want to add trouble to her mind.

And Hailee understood what Ramon meant, it didn't seem like things were getting any better, but she didn't need to know now, because Ramon must have thought of the best solution for every problem…

"Okay," Hailee said quietly.

================

The divorce trial between Giana and Aidan was still in the spotlight and the shares of the Dawson company continued getting worse. They must either find a solution to this problem or take more concrete steps to stop the news out there.

Because after all, Aidan's bad image reflected a considerable influence on the company's image, especially when the company they run was engaged in services and a good image is a sacred thing to maintain.

However, Aidan's focus is now divided.

He was still very worried about Zia's condition after learning that the woman was admitted to the hospital for an attempted suicide.

Aidan kept blaming Aileen, it was all that damn woman's fault!

If only Aileen didn't leak the photos between himself and Zia, then all Aidan's plans would have gone smoothly and he could have a normal relationship with the woman he loved after his divorce with Giana was settled.

However, never once did Aidan think that all this had happened because he underestimated Aileen's cunning nature and didn't take her threats too seriously, even after she collaborated with Giana.

He was too reckless and arrogant to admit that the two women could mess up his life to such an extent.

Aidan miscalculated, he took the wrong step and underestimated the abilities of these two women and now he had to suffer the consequences.

"Where are you going Aidan?" asked Sophie, Aidan's mother, when she saw her son going out at night, sporting a leather jacket.

Since Aidan's troubles started, he had returned to the Smith residence because this place felt much safer from the pursuit of the increasingly crazed media, who didn't even care when they have to enter someone's private property just to get the latest information.

"I will be back in a bit," Aidan muttered. He felt very uncomfortable with his mother's overprotective attitude. He wasn't a teenager, but Sophie treated him like one.

"You are going to see that girl?" Sophie asked in a low voice. "You can't go, Aidan. Things will only get worse if you do that."

Aidan pushed Sophie's hand away and growled with despair and anger. "That is none of your business!"

"Mother will never approve of your relationship with that girl!"

================

Ramon proved his point. He really made sure that his wife rested by personally monitoring everything.

Yes, Ramon not only started working from home, but he also moved his study table into the room.

If anyone had said Ramon's way of treating Hailee until then was being overprotective and seemed like he wasn't himself, then now, that man was taking his standards to an extreme level. He didn't even let Hailee out of his sight for even a moment.

"Ramon, you will die of boredom if you are cooped up in the room like this," Hailee rested her head on Ramon's shoulder, while her husband was staring at last month's sales data, which Hailee didn't understand at all.

"I'm not bored," he said flatly.

Ramon had been locked in his room for several days and Lexus would grumble every time he came and had to hand over the work to Ramon.

Not only Lexus, sometimes Danny also came to report about work problems, or Marco, who came to inform Ramon about the progress of the investigation regarding Leon Dawson.

Meanwhile Hailee would watch cartoons all day or watch her favorite horror movies, and Ramon would accompany her doing his own things.

But, over time, these activities stopped appealing to Hailee completely…

"Oh, tomorrow is the company anniversary, right?" asked Hailee. She had tried on the dress that Margaretha had made for her and was very pleased with the result.

"We are not attending," said Ramon curtly.

"Ahh…" Hailee sighed in disappointment.
