Could everything from before be just a

Was | dreaming now?
| touched my belly subconsciously, but it was a pity that it was still too early in the pregnancy. | could not feel
anything now.
How did | get here?
What happened at the gates of the hospital?
In my anxiousness, | heard the sound of the lock of the door behind turning.
| turned to look back and saw Theo coming in with a tray. "Are you awake?" His smile was gentle. He looked
different from back when he was in the conference room before.
"Why am | here?"
He put the hot milk down on the table and walked up towith a slight smile. "You got a shock when you were
at the hospital and fainted. Fortunately, we were lucky. You and the baby are all right."

However, Theo disappeared when | was looking for him after that.
When I scanned the floor of the hospital lobby, | saw a man in a black suit lying there. | thought Theo was
injured. Theo steadiedand ledto the bedside. Pulling away the blanket, he motioned forto rest for a
bit. "The person you saw was notbut my double, or the one you saw when you first entered the hospital." He

My heart that was suspended in mid-air finally eased.
Theo continued, "After that, we also quickly made a police report. The one who opened fire has been
