Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1774

In that split second, Steve, who had just stepped off his flight, felt his entire world collapse. All the color instantly drained from his face. "Sylvia." He roared into the phone, his eyes wide and bloodshot, losing every ounce of his composure. "Where is Sophia? Where the hell did that assistant go? Tell Sophia to get you to the hospital right now."

Slumped against the bathroom cabinet, Sylvia felt her consciousness fading fast. She cried out weakly. "I... I told her to go back to the office. Steve, I cannot move my legs. I cannot crawl out of here. I am freezing, and my stomach hurts so much. I think... I really cannot hold on much longer."

Steve felt as though a giant hand had just reached into his chest and crushed his heart. Sprinting like a hurricane toward his car waiting outside the airport, he bellowed into the receiver. "Do not go to sleep. Sylvia, do you hear me? I forbid you to sleep. Use your other hand to pinch your cut wrist. Pinch it as hard as you can. Hold on. For the sake of our child, you have to hold on. I will be right there."

After roaring those words, Steve ripped open the car door, threw himself into the driver's seat, and slammed the gas pedal to the floor. Steering with one hand, he violently snatched the phone right out of his subordinate's hand in the passenger seat. In that moment, the carefree, cynical billionaire heir completely vanished. In his place was a ruthless predator who commanded a terrifying intelligence network. With red-rimmed eyes and a face like thunder, he barked his sharpest orders into the subordinate's phone.

"Contact the Capital Surveillance Center. Lock onto the coordinates of my Westside Villa immediately. Get the closest tactical team to breach the door and rescue Sylvia within sixty seconds. Go."

Hanging up the phone, Steve glared at the highway overpass ahead, his eyes completely bloodshot. He kept his foot pinned to the floorboards, tearing toward the hospital at top speed. He prayed frantically in his heart, the veins on the back of his hands bulging as he gripped the steering wheel. "Sylvia, wait for me."
