Chapter 683 An Unsolved Mystery (2/2)

She hadn't considered that he might not dodge the cup, and she was surprised to see him still in the same spot.

Blood ran into his eyes, blurring his vision. Calmly he wiped it away with his sleeve and offered a stiff smile. ”I'm fine.”

The words were barely spoken, then he toppled forward like a felled oak.

Cloris just stared at him. It was like he fell in slow motion. She eventually stood up and walked slowly to where he lay. A large bloody pool was forming around him on the floor.

Indecisiveness struck, and she didn't know whether she should help him or not. If she did nothing, he would probably die

adly she cried.

Thinking of this Cloris clutched her heart which was suddenly racing quite irregularly. Anger burned in her chest and she struggled to breath.

Heat flushed around her neck and ears, and suddenly darkness covered her eyes. Gradually Cloris fainted.

As Sean was about to turn around to leave the room, he saw her eyes close and noticed her tipping forward, tumbling down to the floor.

”Cloris!” With Cloris being in danger, Sean's tired muscles were motivated and he leaped forward with incredible speed and power. He caught her in the brief moment before she hit the floor, and cradled her unconscious form.

Then he yelled hoarsely for the doctor's help.

The doctor called the rest of the team of specialists and they began to attend to the unconscious Cloris. After running several quick tests, they all looked grave.

Sean weakly struggled to stay on his feet near Cloris's bed, but when the doctors frowned, he became nervous. Fearing the worst, he asked, ”What's wrong with her? Did her condition worsen?”

”No!” one of the doctors answered with a complex expression, ”Mr. Sean, the reason why Miss Cloris passed out was that some emotional and hormonal changes in her have worsened her breathing problems. The initial checks indicate that... she's pregnant.”

”What?” Sean's eyes widened and his mind went blank.

The doctor repeated, ”She's pregnant. The gestation is more than one month along now. It's hard to physically notice at this stage. Plus with her special condition, we didn't check for this before.”
