"Miss Carpenter? How did you get here?" Sienna Johnson instinctively placed her hand on her flat belly. She suddenly realized why she had fainted. "My baby? …"
Melanie Carpenter knew what she was worried about. She held Sienna's hand and said, "Mai, don't worry, the baby is fine."
Sienna's heart eased. Nothing was more important than the baby. Only if the baby was alright could she find the courage to face the upcoming challenges.
"As long as it's okay, as long as it's okay..." Knowing the child was unharmed, the turbulent emotions in Sienna's eyes settled, and she regained her composure.
"Do you want some water?" Melanie asked.
Sienna felt as if smoke were rising in her throat; she desperately wanted a drink. But the water was offered by Melanie... Sienna looked up at the gentle-faced woman emanating an aura of peace. They are rivals.
"I'm carrying Adrian's child."
"I know."
