Chapter 256 Don’t you try spinning tales to Foebe,” Stella blocked Dexter with an outstretched arm, “I swear, you're the worst of the lot, Dexter!” Ignored Dexter's sweet talk. All | could think about was finding Colin...

My heart was racing, panic setting in, an urge overwhelming my thoughts-if anything happened to Colin, I'd take down Henry myself...

Stella shoved Dexter away and whiskedoff for a thorough check-up. The doctor let out a weary sigh. “You're carrying a child. Stop putting yourself in harm’s way. Now's the tto be at home, resting and nurturing your little one.” Tears welled up as | looked down at my belly.

Our baby and I... we were waiting for Colin. He’d cback for us. He had to.

“Colin...” My voice was tight with worry as | turned to Stella.

She squeezed my hand reassuringly. “Think about it. Colin's a genius, bet he wasn’t even on that bus. How else do you explain everyone else being accounted for except him? It's a blessing in disguise that they can’t find Colin.” With teary eyes, | nodded.

Maybe Colin had already figured a way out. He was that smart...

“Let’s check over there.” “This way!” The hospital corridors buzzed with suspicious characters, brandishing photos and asking questions.

| knew they were Henry's goons; he wasn’t the type to let things slide.

Especially after what Dexter revealed-if | had truly injured Julian and Henry, then Henry would have all the more reason to cafter me.

Stella's voice was laced with nervousness. “They're insane, showing up here at the hospital.” “They've truly lost it...” | spoke gravely.

With Brendan gone and Colin’s fate uncertain, all Henry had to do was killto seize the Langley family’s fortune. It was a far easier score than risking his neck for dirty money.

“Money magnifies the worst in people,” | murmured, pulling Stella into an examination room to hide among a crowd of patients.

05:28 Dexter shota look. Til draw them away! howned, skeptical. These were trained mercenaries, and Dexter couldn't even hold a candle to Golin in a fight, let alone them.

But they were cloaing in, and my only choice was to blend into the crowd, Dexter charged forward, bumping into one of the men, and bolted, drawing their attention away.

Stella and | waited it out, and once the coast was clear, we made a beeline for the underground parking lot through the service exit.

“Screech!” Suddenly, a car sped towards us, gunning straight for Stella and me.

“Watch out!” “Phoebel” Instinctively, we both pushed each other out of the way, | watched, frozen in horror, as the headlights bore down on us, and | shut my eyes against the impending impact.

But then, in the nick of time, a sleek black Mercedes veered in, ramming into the assailant’s vehicle, deflecting the danger.

Emerging from the chaos was Melody, shouting for Dexter. Like a bad penny, she was back, and clearly, she was here for Dexter.

“Dexter!” She cried, rushing to his side to check on him.

Dexter winced but shouted at us, “Get in the car!” Without a second thought, Melody clambered into Dexter's passenger seat, marking her territory. “Foebe, Stella, con!” Snapping out of our shock, Stella and | had the good sense to choose life over disgust. and hopped into Dexter's ride.

“We can’t shake them.” Dexter glanced in the rear-view mirror.

Stella and | looked back to see a black SUV tailing us relentlessly.

“Be careful!” As we hit the overpass, they made their move.

With a loud crash, we were sent careening off the guardrail.

My consciousness started to blur, darkness creeping into my vision.

“My baby...” In that moment of impact, a mother’s instinct took over, and | curled up, shielding my unborn child.

But still, a warm sensation spread below.

Please, no...

| couldn't lose this child, not when Colin wanted this baby so much,
