Chapter 347: The Fear of Losing Her
Fraser didn't dare waste another second. He carried her and rushed out.
The entire villa was shrouded in a suffocating darkness, a thick, oppressive weight pressing down on everyone's chest. In the banquet hall, the guests exchanged terrified glances, their faces pale with fear. Things had escalated beyond control. They could only pray that Mrs. Graham would survive this ordeal. Because if anything happened to her, with Fraser's madness, his ruthless natureโฆ if he could single-handedly trap them all here, who knew what else he was capable of? If Summer died, he might hold them accountable. What then?
A chilling sense of dread crept over them. The Harper family was even more terrified. Their faces were ashen, their bodies frozen in horror. Who could have predicted that a simple gathering would turn into this? That someone would nearly die in their home? How do we possibly quell Fraser's wrath?
Morgan forced herself to remain composed, her eyes red as she shot a furious glare at the two trembling women, Sasha and Liliah, who had collapsed to the floor. Useless fools! Mikeโs expression was dark, his voice grave as he commanded, โRetrieve all surveillance footage from the villa. No one is leaving until we find out exactly what happened.โ
At the hospital, Xavier, clad in a white coat, rushed down the hallway. Behind him, a team of senior doctors followed closely, their steps hurried and tense. They entered the emergency room, eyes immediately locking onto the unconscious woman lying on the hospital bed. Xavierโs brows furrowed tightly. โWhatโs the patientโs condition?โ
The doctors standing nearby exchanged solemn looks before one of them quickly responded. โSheโs pregnant. But due to prolonged exposure to extreme cold, her body temperature has dropped dangerously low. Itโs a critical situation. Both mother and child are at severe risk. We need to begin emergency treatment immediately.โ
Fraser stood beside the bed, his eyes bloodshot. His fingers clutched Summerโs cold hand tightly. His voice was hoarse, slow, and filled with desperation. โSave her, pleaseโฆโ

In all the years Xavier had known him, this was a first. And it struck him hard. Xavier lifted his gaze. Fraser stood motionless, stiff as a statue, his long lashes casting shadows over his hollow eyes. But the air around him was suffocating. The silence was laced with grief, a dark, deathly stillness that seeped into his very being.
Xavier knew that Fraser was on the brink of collapse. The only thing he could do was ensure Summerโs survival. Because if she did not make itโฆ Even Xavier could not predict what Fraser might do. Steeling himself, Xavier stepped forward and firmly patted Fraserโs shoulder. โFraser, step outside. Leave this to us.โ
Fraser did not move. His tall figure remained frozen in place. His dark, ink-like eyes never strayed from Summerโs pale face. The other doctors hesitated. They had already asked him to leave earlier. But the sheer intensity of his presence, the cold, suffocating rage radiating from himโno one dared insist.
Time was slipping away. Xavier hardened his voice. โFraser, if you want Summer to live, you need to step out now. Otherwise, I canโt guarantee her survival.โ The words struck deep. Fraserโs grip finally loosened. His gaze turned vacant. His eyes, rimmed with red, glowed with a terrifying, almost beast-like fury. He looked like a trapped animal, drowning in despair.
Without a word, he turned and staggered toward the door. Xavier followed him, his footsteps heavy. The moment they reached the doorway, Fraser suddenly spun around. With a swift, violent motion, he grabbed Xavierโs collar, his long fingers clenching into the fabric. His bloodshot eyes bore into him, filled with a feral madness. His voice was low, guttural. โOne thing, no matter what happens, save her. She is the priority.โ
Xavier stiffened. It was the very question he had hesitated to ask just moments ago. Given Summerโs condition, her own life was already hanging by a thread. The childโs survival was even more uncertain. Xavier met his gaze, his own expression grave. He nodded. โI understand.โ Then, he turned and stepped into the emergency room.
Outside of the emergency room, the hospital lights were a stark, blinding white. The sharp scent of disinfectant permeated the air, suffocating and sterile. The cold, lifeless glow illuminatedโฆ

Fraserโs face was shadowed, his eyes dark and bloodshot. The veins at his temples throbbed, a silent testament to the storm raging inside him. With a sudden, violent motion, he slammed his fist into the wall. Again and again. His entire body trembled uncontrollably. Blood smeared his knuckles, dripping down his fingers.
