Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1403
“What?” Heather asked agitatedly. Miscarriage?
“Um, yes, Ms. Young had a miscarriage.”
At this, Heather staggered backward with a dazed expression on her face and tears in her eyes. My grandchild is gone just like that?
The maid accompanying her hurriedly stepped forward to support her for fear that she would pass out.
“Mrs. Norton, I’m sorry for your loss,” the deputy director comforted her, feeling a little regretful for telling her the truth.
“So tell me honestly, has Hannah become infertile?” Heather asked sorrowfully after a long silence.
With a torn expression, the deputy director gave it some thought before he nodded firmly.
Heather could not help but gasp as her heart sank.
The grief she felt over the loss of her grandchild was greater than that of Fabian as she had always wanted an heir to the Norton family.
“Take me to Hannah’s… ward,” she said, her voice breaking and her eyes tearful.
Later, the door of Hannah’s ward opened with a click, and Heather emerged. Having lost her grandchild, she looked like she had grown a few years older and even appeared to have more crow’s feet.
Hannah was still asleep, so she did not know that Heather had come.
Her swollen eyes from all the crying stood out against her pale face.
