Chapter 261 Terror
Ruth’s countenance froze in a fleeting moment of dismay.
She, a woman, and <b>Kate</b>, likewise. How could the unborn child within her possibly belong to Kate? It <b>was </b>an utter impossibility!
Attempting a strained chuckle, she persisted in casting herself as the aggrieved party. “Kate, did we not agree previously? When the timees, we shall stand <b>as </b>godmothers to each other’s progeny. Your child <b>shall </b>be mine, and <b>mine</b>, yours….

As for Kate, she remained unaware of the subsequent events, her vexation mounting.
Clearly, today had not been her auspicious day. First Lana, now Ruth? It seemed ill–fated indeed!
As Kate stood poised to depart through the hospital’s grand gates, a suddenmotion heralded the arrival of an ambnce.
“Make <b>way</b>!”
The ambnce’s doors swung wide, releasing a stretcher with swift precision. Doctors barked urgentmands, swifily maneuvering the stretcher inside.
Across the threshold, a prepared medical team hastened forth, seamlessly assuming control. With urgency, they propelled the stretcher towards the emergency ward.
Upon ity a woman, her figure obscured by <b>blood</b>, her limbs contorted. Kate stole a fleeting nce, startled by the stark crimson tableau, herplexion paling as she recoiled, her heart thrumming violently in her chest.
That searing scarlet evoked Kate’s deepest fears..
Echoes of past cmities besieged her mind–her brothers‘ tragic demise, Eric’s sorrowful end, her parents‘ brutal departure–all steeped in that vivid, unsettling hue.
Kate leaned heavily against the cold stone wall, sping her chest, pallor draining from her face, breath fleeting
Beads of sweat trickled down her trembling <b>palms</b>, her body feeble, scarcely able to sustain itself. Her thoughts churned in disarray, suffused with unbridled dread.
