Chapter 17 I’ll Oblige
“Call the ambulance.”
A tall figure rushed up to Madeleine like a hurricane and swept her into his arms, swiftly running out of the banquet hall.
“Mr. Romero…”
Madeleine clutched his shirt collar weakly, trying to say something, but she blacked out and fainted in his arms.
Everyone in the banquet hall turned their heads and watched them.
“Vincent, where are you going?”
Madilyn stamped her foot in fury, inwardly praying, “If she’s still pregnant, make her lose the baby.”
With that much blood… No way it could survive.
William tightened his grip on the goblet, an unreadable shadow flashing across his eyes.
In the hospital.
Madeleine was unconscious for hours before waking up.
She opened her eyes and saw Vineent’s handsome, cold face.
Madeleine instinctively flinched and hastily covered her belly. “Is the baby okay?”
Vincent’s eyes darkened.

Thankfully, the baby was fine. The blood was from glass cuts on her leg.
His child was stronger than ordinary brats.
“Do you have zero survival instincts? Can’t even walk without falling?”
Had he not been present tonight… It dreaded him to imagine.
Madeleine was choked with injustice. ??“Someone tripped me. Check the surveillance footage to see who did it.”
Vincent had sent people to investigate this.
But the hotel surveillance went wrong, and they found nothing.?
“?No more company events. After work, stay home. Don’t go anywhere.”
Madeleine burned with anger. He first criticized her clothes and now tried to deprive her of freedom.
“I’m not your slave. I’m a free person. The only threat to this baby is your fiancee. Keep her under control. Don’t fill her head with funny ideas.”
Madeleine thought it over just now. When she headed back to her seat, she spotted Madilyn, who sat nearby. Who else would do such a bad thing?
Vincent’s face darkened.
He found Madeleine rebellious. When she got angry, she defied him.
“I’ll handle this. And you will obey my order.”
He sounded like a tyrant.
Madeleine gritted her teeth. Her brother was ill, and the medication cost

16,000 dollars every month. She swallowed her arguments.
But obey his absurd demands? Never.

Madeleine had sorted it out. After she gave birth to the baby, she would give it to Vincent without asking for a penny. As for the medical debt? She would figure out a way to pay it off. Her dignity mattered most.

When Vincent returned to Romero’s mansion, Madilyn was waiting for him in the living room.
She was eager to know about Madeleine’s condition.
Vincent had locked down the news, and no one was to breathe a word from the hospital.
“Vincent, is that woman okay?”
He darted up to her and yanked her hair fiercely. She screamed in pain. “What are you doing? You’re hurting me!”
“If you have anything to do with this, I’ll cancel our engagement. From now on, disappear from my sight.“??
Vincent’s voice carried a frosty chill and fierce warning like icicles colliding.
If she dared to cross him, he wouldn’t show any mercy.
Madilyn shuddered. The more he cared about Madeleine, the more frightened she got.
“Why do you care so much about Madeleine? You’ve never treated me like this for any other woman before. Is she still carrying the baby?”

Vincent gripped the back of her head and glared at her with sharp eyes. “Are you challenging me? If you want to die, just say so. I’ll oblige.”
