Soon. the news of Katherine's pregnancy reached James Frost who was abroad at that time on a business trip.
He told Maxwell tat he would come back the next day itself and asked his father to keep it a secret so that he could give Katherine a surprise when he returned.
Maxwell readily agreed.
The next day Maxwell was anticipating James arrival but he didn't came for the whole day.
Maxwell found out the same night that James had gone missing on his way to the airport.
There was no clue of his whereabouts left behind.
HE DISAPPEARED.
Maxwell was shocked when he found out that his only son had gone missing.
He didn't impart this knowledge to Katherine and Albert.
As he was worried that Katherine would not be able to take the shock and miscarry.
As for Albert, he didn't want his grandson to worry about the matter at such a young age.
Like this, days passed by but there was no new of James's whereabouts. As if,he has disappeared from the face of the world.
Even with mighty power of Frost's corp.,Maxwell was unable to find out anything about James.
On the other hand, Katherine and Albert kept asking Maxwell about James's return.But, he would only tell them that James was stuck in some work there and would not be able to return for the time being.
As such, eight months have already passed,but James couldn't be found and Maxwell kept the matter of his disappearance from Albert and Katherine.
It was only one day, when Katherine was sure that something is wrong was going to Maxwell's study to talk to him about it heard Maxwell's and Butler Thompson's conversation from outside.
Maxwell: Kath and Albert shouldn't know about this matter.
Butler Thompson:But master, one day they will find out.
Maxwell: i know but now is not the right time,If Kath knew that James had gone missing for almost eight months.Her and her baby's life could be in danger.I don't want anything to happen to them.
When Katherine heard that James had gone missing for almost eight months her whole world started to tremble.
She didn't knew what happened as she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
She was going into premature labor due to shock.
Katherine collapsed on the ground and started screaming in pain.
When,Maxwell and Butler Thompson hear her scream they rushed out of the study only to find Katherine curling up in a ball due to pain on the floor.
Katherine was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Maxwell ,Butler Thompson and Albert waited outside the operation theater for three hours.
As, Katherine got into labor prematurely the bay and her life were in danger.
The surgery was a risky one as it was difficult o save both the mother and the child.
At last, the cries of a baby were heard from inside the OT.
A new life has come to existence.
It was none other than Ariana.
The doctors walked out of the operation theater. Their expressions didn't look good.
The head surgeon walked up to Maxwell and said in a solemn voice,"Mr.Frost.The child is prematurely born.Therefore, we have to keep him in incubator the time being as for Mrs.Frost"The doctor hesitated before continuing,"she was already weak and due to premature delivery her body wasn't able to withstand it,We are very sorry to say that we couldn't save Mrs.Frost."
Maxwell was so shaken by the news that his legs gave away and he flopped on the waiting chair outside the OT.
Albert was still unable to believe that his mother had passed away.
