Chapter 331
evening, news of the attack had spread everywhere. Several television stations were broadcasting reports about the incident, showing footage of the destroyed construction site and interviewing witnesses who had managed to
escape.
The headlines were alarming. An armed group had stormed Julia’s school project, opened fire, and completely destroyed the construction site.
What had once been a promising development project was now nothing but rubble.
The buildings, the foundation, the construction materials, and almost everything they had spent weeks putting together had been reduced to dust. It was as though the attackers had been sent specifically to wipe our every trace of the project.
Inside the house, Julia and her mother sat in front of the television, watching the disturbing footage.
Julia couldn’t hold back her tears.
“No… No, this can’t be happening!” she cried, shaking her head. “It took us weeks to build that! Weeks! And the resources, the money we invested, everything p>
She covered her face with both hands.
“Everything is gone! Everything p>
Her voice broke as she began crying harder. She had personally supervised the project, watched the workers build it day after day, and spent so much time making sure everything went according to plan. Now, all of it was gone.
Her mother immediately moved closer and wrapped an arm around her.
“Julia, please. Calm down. Don’t do this to yourself p>
“But, Mom!” Julia cried.
Her mother gently rubbed her back, trying to console her.
“Please, don’t cry. Your health is more important. We’ll find a way to handle this p>
Julia shook her head, unable to stop crying.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
Marcus walked into the room.
The moment Julia noticed him, she immediately got up and rushed toward him. Without saying anything, she threw her arms around him and buried her face against his chest.
“Marcus p>
He looked down at her, surprised by her reaction.
Julia began sniffing, her tears soaking into his shirt.
“Everything is gone! Everything!” she cried. “They destroyed everything we built! All our work, all the money, all the resources… Everything p>
Marcus gently wrapped his arms around her.

“Calm down, Julia p>
No!” She shook her head against his chest. “You don’t understand! It took us weeks to build that place. We were almost finished, and now there’s nothing left p>
Marcus looked at her mother, who could only sigh helplessly.
He then looked down at Julia.
“No. You will get it all back p>
Julia slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
“But how p>
She struggled to catch her breath.
“How am I supposed to start all over again? Where will we get the money p>
Marcus held her shoulders.
“Julia, listen to me. You will p>
But before he could finish, Julia’s expression suddenly changed.
Her eyes became unfocused, and her body began losing strength.
“Julia p>
She tried to respond, but her knees suddenly gave way.
“Julia p>
Marcus quickly reached out to catch her, preventing her from crashing onto the floor.
Her mother immediately rushed toward them.
“Oh my God! Julia! Julia p>
Marcus carefully held her while her mother called her name repeatedly.
“What’s happening to her? Julia, sweetheart, open your eyes p>
But Julia had already lost consciousness.
Marcus looked at her, his expression turning serious.
“We need to get her to the hospital. Now p>
When Julia finally regained consciousness, her head felt incredibly heavy. She slowly opened her everything around her seemed blurry.
eyes,
but
For a moment, she couldn’t understand where she was.
She blinked several times, trying to adjust to the bright lights above her. Her head was still dizzy, and she could feel something attached to her arm.
Then she noticed the hospital bed.

She was in a hospital room. Julia slowly turned her head and saw Marcus sitting beside her, while her mother was seated on the other side.
“Mom… Marcus p>
Her mother immediately leaned forward.
“Julia! You’re awake p>
Julia groaned slightly and attempted to lift her upper body.
“Easy, sweetheart,” her mother said, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. “It’s okay. Don’t try to get up”
Marcus also moved closer.
“Take it easy, Julia. Just rest p>
Julia sighed, slowly settling back against the hospital bed.
“I’m sorry for worrying both of you,” she said quietly. “I didn’t mean to cause you so much trouble p>
Her mother gently held her hand.
“Don’t worry about that, sweetheart. We’re just happy you’re okay p>
Marcus nodded. “It’s all okay. Just focus on recovering. And about the project, don’t worry about it at all. We’ll figure everything out p>
Before Julia could respond, the door opened, and a doctor walked in carrying some medical files.
“Oh, you’re awake! How are you feeling now?” she asked.
Julia nodded slightly. “I’m just stressed, but I feel okay now p>
The doctor smiled and nodded.
“Yes, stress certainly played a part in what happened. But there’s something else you should know. You’re three weeks pregnant p>
“What p>
All three of them reacted almost simultaneously, their eyes widening in disbelief.
“She’s… pregnant?” Marcus asked, practically jumping out of his seat.
The doctor nodded. “Yes. Three weeks, in fact. Congratulations p>
Marcus slowly turned toward Julia, who was staring at the doctor.
For a moment, she simply blinked. Then she burst into laughter, only for tears to begin streaming down her cheeks.
“I… I can’t believe this is happening p>
Marcus immediately moved closer and wrapped his arms around her. “Hey, everything will be okay.” Marcus was unable to believed this also.
Julia held him tightly, smiling through her tears.

“We’re having a baby, Marcus p>
He smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, we are p>
Julia wiped her tears, looking happier than she had been all day. “I’m okay now p>
Marcus spent the entire night at the hospital, making sure Julia was comfortable and following every instruction the doctor had given them. He barely slept, constantly checking on her and asking the nurses whether everything was alright.
By morning, the doctor finally approved her discharge.
Marcus was immediately overprotective. He helped her out of bed, carried her belongings, and made sure she didn’t have to do anything herself. After they arrived home, he even insisted on preparing breakfast and taking care of everything around the house.
Julia watched him moving around the kitchen before finally speaking.
“What?! You don’t have to do all these things. I can do them myself p>
Marcus turned toward her.
“The doctor said you shouldn’t stress yourself p>
Julia chuckled.
“Marcus, it’s not like I’m seriously ill. I can still do little things like this. Besides, this is still an early stage p>
Marcus was about to respond when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and noticed a message from Natalie.
{You should come. I know who carried out the attack on Julia’s project}
Marcus’s expression immediately changed.
His eyebrows furrowed as he read the message again.
Julia noticed his reaction.
“What’s wrong? Is it from work p>
Marcus looked up and nodded.
“Yeah. Something came up p>
Julia smiled slightly.
“You can go. I’ll be fine here p>
“But p>
“Marcus, seriously. I’m okay. You’ve been taking care of me since yesterday. You should go and handle whatever it is p>
He hesitated, clearly reluctant to leave her alone.
Julia gently held his hand.

“Don’t worry, I will call you if I need anything p>
Marcus finally nodded.
“Alright. You must p>
Julia smiled. “I promise p>
Marcus picked up his keys.
Someone had attacked Julia’s project, nearly making her sick, without even knowing she was pregnant! Whoever was responsible was about to witness hell!
