Be let out a sigh of relief. She said, "As long as everything''s okay... What happened with the car ident? Has Dominic told you anything? He won''t tell me anything."


    Be felt a wave of fear. If Cara had been driving any faster, she might not have made it through the day.


    Since this incident was directly rted to her unborn child, Be was certain that Dominic would get to the bottom of it. It was just a matter of time.


    ...


    The following day, Dominic came to pick her up from the hospital. He remained cold and distant. He barely said anything and didn''t even bother to nce at her.


    Be didn''t have the energy to engage with him either. She slumped in the car seat, pale and drained, looking even thinner than before.


    This time, Dominic didn''t just drop her off at the neighborhood entrance but followed her up the stairs.


    As they entered, Be noticed the unfamiliar face greeting them at the door. She knew immediately that Dominic had reced Cara. No matter what she said, it was useless. Dominic was the type of person who couldn''t tolerate imperfection.


    Ironically, the new maid had a simr name, Ca Lindell. She was just a few years younger than Cara and just as efficient. But there was a difference-Ca seemed robotic, focusing solely on the tasks at hand. She hardly ever smiled and came off as stern,cking the warmth that Cara had.


    Dominic didn''t even sit when he entered. He simply exchanged a few words with Ca before leaving.


    Be felt uneasy just thinking about being stuck in bed for a week. She was in a bad mood, but there was no one she felt like talking to. Lia was newly married, and she didn''t want to be a bother. As for Felix, she didn''t want to trouble him. Then, there was Sean, who was just a kid. He was not someone she could converse seriously. Honestly, the only person she could really talk to was Dominic.


    Although Dominic was around, their conversations were always strained. Thus, she felt that it was better if they just kept silent.


    That evening, Simon called. Their conversation didn''t directly touch on any business discussions, but it felt like it revolved around money.


    Simon had heard about her car ident, and in his typical fashion, he "expressed concern" about her well-being. He then subtly inquired if the baby was alright. To Simon, this child was worth a fortune.

    shamelessness. He ran thepany Dominic had given him, yet he was eyeing everything else even trying to take advantage of the unborn baby. It was horrifying how far people''s greed could go to the point where even family ties didn''t matter.


    Before Simon could finish his monologue, Be hung up the phone.


    Soon, she finished reading all the books she had at home. Days passed with nothing to do, and she felt restless. Ca didn''t talk much, and Be didn''t feelfortable bothering her to go out and buy more books.


    It was nearly time for her check-up, so she sent Dominic a message. It read, "If you''reing with me to the check-up, could you please bring me a few books? I''m still stuck in bed." Over an hourter, Dominic finally replied with just one word, "Okay."
