Christina and Emma walked suddenly into the room, and Christina said in a cold tone.
“Your baby is gone!”
They looked coldly at Sarah, and in a scorning tone, Christina continued. “You bring your misfortunes upon yourself!”
“Mom, how can you do this to Sarah? She just woke up, how can you say that?”
Charles stood up and stopped her, angry with his mother’s rude behaviors and hurtful words.
Sarah looked blankly at Christina. Her face turned pale. She shook her head and said in a barely audible voice.
“No, I don’t believe… I don’t believe you… You must be deceiving me… You must be playing with me!”
Then she looked at Charles, “Charles, is it true? It can't be true, can it? Our baby is fine. She’s playing with me. She’s just scaring me, isn’t she? Charles……Charles, am I right?”
Charles grabbed her shoulder to calm her down and said, “Sarah, calm down, calm down! Please!” He replied with deep sorrow in his eyes.
But the more he looked at Sarah, the sadder he became. She couldn't believe it was true. She didn't believe it. Crying out loud, she shouted.
“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it! Our baby is still there. Charles. You tell me that our child is okay. Right? You tell me that my baby is fine!”
“Sarah… Sarah, calm down… Sarah!” Charles tried to control her, but Sarah kept struggling and shouting in desperation. Charles suddenly embraced her and held her tightly.
“Sarah, listen to me, whether we have a child or not, I will always love you, I will always be with you. Please come down. We will have another baby in the future… We will have children in the future…”
Charles was about to start to cry. They had both been looking forward to the birth of their first baby. Their baby had been their most precious possession, their fortune. His presence had brought them closer, kept them from fighting and separating, forcing them to reconcile when all had seemed lost.
They had been so excited about the birth of their baby, planning on how to raise him and take care of him. But now he was gone before he had the chance to come to this world. Now he would never come to this world, and they would never have an opportunity to meet him.
They both cried, especially Sarah. She started to beat Charles on his shoulder to vent her emotions. But no matter how sad she was, she couldn't bring her baby back!
Charles didn't say anything, only cried silently on her shoulder for a long time. Finally, he said.
