Chapter 1451:
“I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person. You… you…” Elena was so furious she could barely form the words. She pressed a hand to her forehead, gasping for breath. Her eyes squeezed shut—then she suddenly collapsed.
“Mom!” Anika rushed forward when she saw Elena fall. She dropped to a squat and shook her frantically. “Mom, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me p>
Marcel was also shocked. “What’s wrong with her p>
“It’s all because of you!” Anika shouted, heartbroken.
Several servants hurried over. “Mrs. Mendoza p>
“Hurry!” Anika cried desperately. “Take my mother to the hospital p>
They reached the hospital quickly, and several nurses rushed Elena into the emergency room.
“Doctor, how is my mother?” Anika asked, so anxious that she grabbed the doctor’s hand tightly.
“Ma’am, please let go,” the doctor said, clearly irritated. “Your mother could be in danger if you keep holding me up like this p>
But because Anika was pregnant, he could only try to persuade her instead of forcefully pulling away.
“I’m so sorry, Doctor. She acted on impulse,” Marcel said quickly, prying Anika’s hand loose while apologizing.
Anika fell silent as she watched the doctor go into the operating room and the red light above it turn on.
Her heart ached when she remembered her mother fainting. If it weren’t for her, Elena wouldn’t have collapsed. She was the one to blame.
Anika stared blankly at the glowing “Operating” sign, sitting still as if her soul had drifted away.
Marcel’s chest tightened when he saw her expression. He walked over and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be sad, Anika. The doctor is treating your mom. She’ll be fine p>

“Waah p>
Anika broke down, her face twisted with worry. Then, in the next instant, her expression changed. She squeezed her eyes shut and clutched her stomach.
“Ouch p>
She held her belly and murmured, making Marcel even more alarmed. He stepped forward to support her. “Easy. You’re pregnant. You can’t get this upset p>
But Anika didn’t respond. She stayed rigid, still gripping her stomach.
“Listen to me,” Marcel said urgently. “Go home and rest. I’ll stay here and watch everything. I’ll let you know as soon as your mom comes out of the operating room p>
Marcel couldn’t help worrying when he saw Anika in that state. Without meaning to, he tugged her too hard, making her wince.
“What are you doing?” Anika snapped, her temper flaring as she shouted at him. “I’m not that fragile. My mom is still in the operating room. I’m not going home. What do you take me for p>
Even as she spoke, she kept one hand pressed to her belly, as if trying to steady herself.
“I’m saying this for your own good,” Marcel urged, his voice tight with concern. “Go home and rest first. You’re pregnant. Otherwise, the baby could be in danger p>
