The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1158

Raines stumbled back to his room, finding Lisbeth curled up in the middle of a nap on their bed. She was in the early stages of pregnancy and needed all the rest she could get.

He took a gulp of cool water from a glass on the bedside table, but he was feeling off. A headache was creeping in. A burning sensation gnawed at his stomach, undeterred even by the water he'd just drunk.

Clutching his abdomen, he groaned and collapsed onto the couch.

Lisbeth fluttered her eyes open at the sound. "What's wrong?" she asked, concern lacing her voice.

"I'm not feeling great." Raines curled up tighter, his face turning as pale as a sheet, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Lisbeth sat up, her maternal instincts kicking in. "Should I take you to the hospital?"

He waved her off with a weak hand. "No need. I'll just rest a bit."

He thought a short rest would do the trick, but his condition only worsened. His body was wracked with pain, and his limbs started to go numb, immobilizing him with fear.

"Call... call a doctor," he rasped.

Lisbeth dialed for an ambulance and hurried to alert the others.

Fredric and Skyler were the first to rush in.

"What the hell happened to Raines?" Fredric asked, his voice tinged with worry.

"I don't know," Lisbeth replied, shaking her head. "He came back from outside complaining of feeling unwell and said he wanted to lie down. Then, it got worse."

"Let me have a look," Skyler said, moving closer to Raines. "Buddy, tell me where it hurts."

"It's my whole body... I can't... move," Raines managed to say. Thankfully, his head was still functioning normally, allowing him to breathe and speak, or he might have been completely paralyzed, or worse.

Skyler examined him carefully.
