The secretary at the door saw Finn Chandler slip and fall, and cried out to her in fright.
In mid-air, Finn flung out her hand, trying to grab something beside her, but there was nothing around, nothing she could catch.
At the moment she fell, her mind went completely blank. After she heard the loud "bang," she lay there stunned for a while, as if she couldn't hear the secretary's panicked shouts, only feeling that everything was so quiet.
It was the pain in her belly that pulled her thoughts back, and then she smelled the heavy stench of blood.
"Madam, don't be afraid, Mr. Ford will be here any minute."
The secretary gripped Finn's hand, trying to comfort her.
Finn knew this fall was very serious. If she were just an ordinary woman, she wouldn't be this scared—at worst she'd end up with a concussion or some kind of bruise.
But right now, she was pregnant.
