Chapter 1850:


    “The Foster family that built their fortune through strategic marriages?” Elyse’s memory clicked into ce. “But they haven’t been in the picture for a long time. I haven’t heard their name in ages,” she mused, her thoughts drifting to the past.


    “That’s because Joanna got married,” Theo exined, “and Kieran, wary of provoking Jayden’s wrath, kept the family out of sight.”


    Elyse nodded in understanding, then pressed, “But what does the Foster family have to do with Jayden’s disappearance?”


    Theo’s expression darkened. “Joanna recently passed away duringbor, and Kieran has been making some… moves.”


    Elyse stiffened in shock. “Joanna is dead? But Kieran wouldn’t me us for that, would he? We had nothing to do with it!”


    Theo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Word has it that before she died, Joanna’s mind was consumed with thoughts of Jayden. She harbored resentment toward you and wanted revenge. Kieran might be picking up where she left off.”


    Elyse let out an exasperated sigh. “Are these siblingspletely out of their minds? Joanna was bad enough, but Kieran is just as unhinged?”


    Theo’s lips curled into a half-smile, though there was no humor in it. “There’s definitely something off about him, but one thing is clear—he’s plotting something. I just haven’t figured out exactly what he’s done to Jayden.”


    Elyse was about to respond when a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her, her vision blurring as she slumped sideways.


    Theo’s eyes widened in rm as he caught her just in time. “Are you alright?”


    She murmured weakly, “I just… feel a little off. Don’t worry about me.”


    Theo reached out, his palm resting against her forehead—burning hot. His expression shifted instantly. “You have a fever.” His voice turned firm as he instructed the driver, “Get to the hospital. Now.”


    Your escape is on g ? ln σ ν?? ??s


    Meanwhile, Chloe fumbled with her phone, trying to call for backup, but before she could dial, Theo’s car sped off with Elyse inside.


    Her heart pounded as she chased after the vehicle, shouting, “Hey! Where are you taking her? Give Elyse back to me! You insufferable jerk, is kidnapping someone else’s wife your idea of fun?”<fn82c1> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FιndＮovel</fn82c1>


    Theo didn’t hear a word. His entire focus was on the pale woman beside him.


    When they reached the hospital, Theo wasted no time getting Elyse checked in. As they waited for the test results, Peyton arrived, his face unusually serious. He pulled Theo aside and said in a hushed yet urgent tone, “Elyse can’t have an IV drip. Take her to the fifth floor.”


    Theo frowned, perplexed. “The fifth floor? That’s for gynecology and obstetrics, isn’t it?”


    Peyton’s expression flickered with a storm of emotions. “Yes,” he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. “The fifth floor. Get her up there—now.”


    Theo didn’t waste a second. In one swift motion, he gathered Elyse into his arms and bolted toward the elevator.


    On the fifth floor, the truth wasid bare—Elyse was pregnant. But thebination of her fragile emotional state and the relentless fever ced her at grave risk of miscarriage.


    She was admitted immediately for observation. Theo never left her side, his eyes fixed on her as though sheer willpower could anchor her to safety. A heavy weight settled in his chest, suffocating and inescapable.


    Hours dragged on, each one an eternity, until finally, the fever loosened its grip on her. Slowly, her consciousness resurfaced. Hershes fluttered as her eyes struggled to focus. The first thing she saw was Theo, his face etched with worry. She took in the sterile white walls, the quiet hum of medical equipment.
