Chapter 117
She wished that someone would save her child. The child was the last thing she had left in the world!
“Audrey!”
In her trance, Audrey seemed to catch a glimpse of Ryan, who had pushed through the crowd and
rushed toward her.
“Ryan...”
Audrey wanted to reach out and beg Ryan to save their child. However, her consciousness was consumed by
darkness. Then, her outstretched hand dropped heavily.
“Audrey, we'll go to the hospital!” Ryan got down on one knee and took off his jacket to wrap Audrey
in it.

Outside the hospital operating room, Julian had just hung up the phone.
He then approached Ryan with a grave expression. “Mr. Lambert, I've checked. The video shows Audrey falling
down the stairs while backing away from something.”
“What was she trying to avoid?” Ryan asked with a tense face.
“It’s a blind spot that the surveillance didn’t pick up. We'll probably have to wait until Audrey wakes up from the
surgery to find out,” Julian said calmly.
“What about the people protecting Audrey?”
Julian's expression darkened at the question. “Audrey had them waiting outside the venue of the conference at
the time. They merely saw someone yank Audrey away. By the tthey rushed over, Audrey had already fallen
down.”
“Worthless! Keep investigating! Find out where Nathan was last night!” Ryan’s pent-up anger had already made
him lose his usual composure.
For sreason, Ryan had a strong intuition that this incident was connected to Nathan.
Soon, Audrey's surgery was over.
The doctor regretfully informed Ryan, “We did our best, but we couldn't save the child.”
“As long as my wife is safe, that’s all that matters! Thank you!” Ryan said sincerely.
“It’s our duty as medical professionals. Mrs. Lambert will be out of observation in two hours.” The doctor glanced
at Ryan before leaving. He then returned to his office and made a phone call. “I've informed them that the child
didn’t make it. Will | receive the promised payment?”
Ryan had been by Audrey's side ever since she cout of the observation room.
She had lost her stepmother and her sister. Unlike his selfish motives, Audrey had kept the child because she
genuinely cared about the only loved one she had in the world.

Would she break down emotionally when she woke up and found out that she had lost the child?
Ryan held onto Audrey’s hand tightly and gently kissed her palm.
How should he comfort Audrey when she woke up?
Audrey had been unconscious for three days straight. When she opened her eyes again, she felt as if all her
bones had been broken.
“You're awake.”
When Audrey heard George's voice, she got nervous and turned her head to look toward the window.
She remembered being choked by Nathan, and just as she was suffocating, she fell down the stairs from the
conference stage.
The child!
Audrey hurriedly covered her stomach.
George closed the book in his hand. He took off his glasses and glanced at Audrey. “Ryan has been by your side
for three days and three nights. He couldn’t hold on anymore and went to the hotel to freshen up and change his
clothes.”
