Chapter 127 Ryan Fainted
At the last second, Ryan's wrist got snagged, stopping his fall just in the nick of time.
Ryan, still freaked out, looked up and locked eyes with someone, which kinda calmed his racing heart.
He sucked in a breath and managed a shaky smile. "Thanks, man!"
Ethan's face got a bit colder hearing that, but since they weren't outta the woods yet, he let it slide.
Once they landed safely, Harper finally exhaled. She patted her chest, saying, "You good? Close call.. You almost gave me a heart attack."
Ryan finally felt solid ground under his feet, his nerves unwinding a bit, but then his legs just gave out, and he stumbled.
Ethan noticed and instinctively reached out to catch him, though it felt kinda awkward.
He looked away, cleared his throat, and muttered, "Let's bounce!"
"Yeah!" Harper nodded, motioning for them to follow as she led the way out.
But the bodyguards and James outside heard the ruckus and, sensing something was up, unlocked the door and barged in, only to find the window wide open.
"Damn!" James was stunned and rushed to the window, spotting the three kids below!
He quickly turned to the bodyguards, barking, "They're downstairs. Go get 'em!"
Ethan was a slippery one. James had a hell of a time trying to catch him before.
If Ethan got away, Antonio would chew him out again!
But what was Ryan doing here?
James didn't have time to ponder and bolted downstairs.
Realizing they were busted, they made a run for it.
Ethan and Harper were quicker, sprinting out of the villa area. If they could just hop in a taxi, they'd be home free.
But then the footsteps behind them stopped. They turned to see Ryan clutching his chest in pain before collapsing!
Ryan had felt his heart acting up earlier but had pushed through. Now, he couldn't hold on, gasping for breath and passing out.
James came out just in time to see this, gasping in shock, and ran over to scoop Ryan up. "Mr. Valencia, wake up!"
If Antonio found out, he'd be the first to get chewed out!
Ryan's face was ghostly pale, showing no signs of waking up. James didn't dare waste time and ran towards the car with him.
The other two kids realized how serious it was and didn't dare run anymore.
They exchanged a look and, without a word, followed James into the car.
Seeing this, James didn't have time to argue. Ryan's life was the priority!
Meanwhile, Antonio's arm was bitten by Sarah, the sharp pain fueling his rage.
Seeing Sarah trying to bolt, he grabbed her shoulder with his other hand, pinning her against the wall.
Looking at the bite marks on his arm and hand, Antonio's eyes darkened.
Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
Antonio hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Mr. Antonio Valencia, Mr. Ryan Valencia has fainted and is now in the hospital! The other two kids are here too..."
Hearing this, Antonio's face changed drastically, and he cut in, "I'm on my way!"
Sarah, standing nearby, overheard the phone call and was floored.
The other two kids? What the heck was going on?
Could it be Ethan and Harper?
When people are in a rush, they tend to think the worst.
Sarah thought the kids were in deep trouble and, panicking, followed Antonio as he stormed out. "I'm coming too!"
Antonio just shot her a glance and kept moving.
Outside the ER at the hospital, James was pacing like a madman, glancing up as someone approached, only to see an unexpected face.
"Mr. Philip Valencia!" James looked like he'd seen a ghost and quickly bowed to Philip.
Philip, leaning on a cane, hustled towards the ER, his old face a mix of worry and rage.
He'd left his contact info at the hospital before and made it clear they had to call him ASAP if anything happened to Ryan.
So, when he got the news, he rushed over.
If something happened to Ryan, the Valencia family would be heirless!
James could see Philip was fuming and didn't dare say a word.
Unlike Antonio, Philip showing up meant things were seriously messed up!
Seeing the emergency still ongoing, Philip was heartbroken. He slammed his cane on the ground and barked, "What the hell happened? Why did Ryan suddenly pass out?!"
James, unusually serious, lowered his head, his hands instinctively clasped in front of him.
Before he could answer, Philip turned to the other side.
His sharp old eyes zeroed in on the two kids, his gaze growing more hostile.
They looked identical, a pair of boy-girl twins.
Suddenly, Philip realized something, his face becoming even more terrifying. So Sarah had two kids!
Ethan and Harper felt Philip's hostility and were scared stiff.
Harper, having seen Philip's ruthlessness before, immediately remembered the scene of him smacking Antonio.
Harper clutched Ethan's shirt tightly.
Philip was terrifying!
Where the heck was Antonio?
Ethan knew Philip was gunning for them. Sensing Harper's fear, he quickly stepped in front of her.
He felt that Philip was a whole different beast compared to Antonio.
Although Antonio was tough, hot-tempered, and domineering, Ethan dared to stand up to him because Antonio wasn't a bad guy, but Philip's eyes were filled with pure malice, clearly a very bad dude.
With this in mind, Ethan stood firm in front of Harper, swallowing his fear, determined not to let anyone hurt her.
James, seeing Philip approach the kids, worried he might actually harm them, grew anxious.
But in terms of status and age, Philip was way out of his league. He could only worry helplessly.
Antonio, hurry up, or something terrible's gonna go down!
Philip looked at the kids with pure disdain.
These two must've been the reason Ryan ended up in the ER!
Their eyes were just as annoying as Sarah's.
After the last failed plan, Philip's hatred for Sarah had only grown.
Now, it seemed he was channeling all his anger towards Sarah onto the kids.
His expression grew increasingly fierce, the muscles in his face twitching, as he raised the cane to strike.
