Stumbling back with a forceful shove from Graham, Natalia clutched her belly protectively. shooting him a glare that could shatter glass

Graham, don’t you ever fear karma will come knocking?” 

The biggest karma of my life was crossing paths with your mom and you!he spat back venomously

Trembling with fury, Natalia took a deep breath, trying to quell the throbbing in her belly

She quickly dialed Scarlett’s number to ask for her help

It’s probably the stress causing the pain. Find a place to sit down and try to relax. If it doesn’t get better soon, head straight to the hospital.” 

After hanging up, Natalia inhaled deeply, working to steady her swirling emotions

Sitting on a nearby bench, the pain gradually subsided. When her stomach finally settled, she allowed herself a small sigh of relief. She checked on her mother before leaving, and reminded the caregiver once more

If Graham shows up again, please call me right away.”

A heavy weight seemed to settle in Natalia’s chest. After a brief pause, she simply said, I’m sorry to have bothered you.” 

Feeling guilty, Alden suggested, Maybe you could wait a few days? I reckon my brother will cool off soon.” 

There’s no need, thank you,Natalia replied before ending the call

“Bro, are you really going to let Graham mess with her like this?”
