Dawson nodded, "Alright, I''m on it now."


    Chase warned, "This could be trivial or serious because it involves national secrets. It''s easy for you to be falsely used. Are you sure you can save her?"


    "I might not, but I can''t just leave her in trouble."


    "But if you go, what about ra? She''s due any day now. You''re not nning to leave her to give birth alone, are you?"


    Hearing this,n pinched the bridge of his nose. "I''ll be quick and won''t dy. Ask Sasha toe over and keep herpany."


    lan hurried back home to find ra walking in the yard with Snow. He saw her solitary figure, and a lump formed in his throat.


    He had no idea what was happening with Greta nor how many days his trip would take. What if something happened to ra while he was away? The thought made him clench his fist tightly. Snow sawn''s car, barked, and ran toward him. Ian bent down to pet Snow''s neck, saying in a deep voice, "Take good care of Mom. I have to go on a business trip for a few days."


    Snow barked a few times understandingly, then ran back to ra.


    ra noticed his sudden return and sensed something was wrong. "What''s happened? Is there a problem?" she asked immediately.


    lan wrapped her in his arms, kissing her forehead softly. "My sister''s in trouble abroad. She''s been detained by the police. I need to go check on her. I''ve asked Sasha toe and stay with you." ra looked at him anxiously. "Then you must go quickly. I''m worried about Greta."


    lan noted her sense of understanding, and his heart swelled even more. He stroked ra''s head and said in a husky voice, "ra, I''m sorry I can''t be here for you and the baby at this time. I feel I''m failing my duty..."


    Before he could finish, ra''s hand covered his mouth. n, we''re husband and wife. We''re supposed to face difficulties together. Go save your sister. I''ll be fine here," she said softly. "Alright, I''ll just grab a few clothes and then leave."


    lan went upstairs to pack some clothes, and before getting into the car, he saw ra waving goodbye. He couldn''t resist. He rushed back to ra, cupped her chin, and kissed her lips.


    This woman had been silently supporting him since they got together. Now, she was about to give birth and was still thinking of him. He felt he could never repay ra for all her goodness. They stood kissing in the yard for a long time, only stopping when Snow started barking jealously on the ground.


    lan caressed ra''s reddened lips. His voice was hoarse. "Wait for me."


    The car slowly left the yard.


    ra''s eyes misted over without her noticing. She felt so sorry forn for bearing so much pressure and helplessness.


    She was also worried about Greta''s situation. The Hayes family seemed to be at its weakest now. She had never imagined that the powerful Hayes Corporation could evere to this point. It just goes to show that nothing in this world is permanent.


    ra went inside with Snow. With just a month until delivery, she thought she should check her


    maternity bag again for anything et


    missing. She pulled out the bag andpared the items one by one against the list she had on her


    phone.


    Meanwhile, the momentn''s car left the yard, his eyes were also teary. What he couldn''t stand the most was ra''s understanding of him.


    He always felt he owed her. If it weren''t for him, her life could have been much morefortable.


    With these thoughts,n pinched the


    bridge of his nose again. He drove into the airport and boarded the ne with his belongings. As he sat in his seat, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
