"Aiden!!" Claire shouted, her voice echoing through the dimly lit room. It was late, and the tension in the air had become unbearable for Katie.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she burst into loud sobs, swiftly rising to her feet. With her hands covering her face, she dashed out of the residence, desperate to escape the suffocating atmosphere.
Claire immediately sprang into action, chasing after her daughter-in-law. Francis quickly followed suit, his voice ringing out as he called for Katie to stop.
"Wait! It's dangerous for the baby!" he urged, concern etched on his face.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Francis called for the servants, instructing them to pursue Katie.
"She's pregnant, and we need to make sure she's safe. Her condition could be at risk," he added, urgency underscoring his words.
