Chapter 163
The nurse spoke cautiously. After all, she was not talking to an ordinary man.
“How did this happen?” Christopher’s confused voice asked.
The nurse’s face turned pale, feeling petrified as she explained, “I-I’m not sure about that. The doctor’s initial diagnosis is that she got too exhausted from her miscarriage and experienced some trauma later on. Hence, her heavy blood loss. Although, didn’t the doctor advise her to get some rest after her miscarriage? How could this have happened…”
Christopher suddenly plopped onto the bench as he pleaded, “S-Save her, please. I can do anything as long as she stays alive.”
I only wanted her to yield. Why did she insist on torturing herself like that?
Jodie sensed something was wrong with the conversation. Thus, she asked, “What? She got too exhausted? Meg did work a few days after getting discharged from the hospital, but she only did office work, nothing intense. How can she get exhausted from that? As for the trauma, she accidentally fell when she came to meet me earlier.”
The nurse dared not say anything as she had no idea what was going on. Naturally, Christopher kept quiet as well out of guilt.
Suddenly, a few ferocious-looking men came forward. They surrounded Christopher and barked, “Hey, how dare you run away just like that after hitting our car? Were you rushing to the hospital to visit a dead relative or something?”
Although Jodie was not fond of Christopher, she didn’t want to see her best friend’s husband getting scolded by strangers. Hence, she retorted, “What nonsense do you think you’re spouting? Do you want me to punch the living daylights out of you? All this guy did was hit your car. How much do you want? We can pay you, so don’t start a ruckus here!”
