It was too sudden for Waverly. She was caught completely off guard and could not accept this reality. In an instant, she started to break down.
Unable to avoid it any longer, the doctor nodded reluctantly.
The next second, Waverly felt like she was falling in a bottomless abyss. She felt like she had just been dealt with a death sentence. In pain, she wailed miserably and fell to the floor.
"Sob..."
Despite going through so much, she had never felt this hopeless before. She never had a strong desire to be a mother, but after being told she would never be able to be a mother, her whole world felt like it was collapsing.
She cried bitterly. The doctor beside her frowned without making an attempt to help her up. Eventually, the female doctor gave in and knelt down onto the ground.
"Miss, don't be in such a hurry to feel sad. It's not that bad! I just meant that it's hard for you to conceive. It's not completely impossible! What's more, technology is advanced now. There are tons of artificial methods to get pregnant. You're so young, so you still have many chances ahead of you! The most important thing now is to nurse your health, relax, and make sure you don't get injured anymore."
The doctor was telling the truth. The discussion she had with Dr. Mouritse was also based on the current situation. However, to Waverly, she assumed the doctor was just saying all this to comfort her.
Her tears couldn't stop from streaming down, and her gaze was dull and empty.
Dr. Mouritse looked at the two of them.
"Yes, Miss, health is the most important thing! The reason why we didn't bring it up with you at the beginning was that we were afraid that it would affect the treatment! On my way home, I saw you floating in the river seemingly calling for help. That was why I pulled you up. At the time, you were already bleeding from your lower body. In fact, the loss of blood was the largest factor as to why you lost consciousness. We wanted to tell you, but you didn't ask when you woke up. Thinking that you might not have known at all, we decided to let you focus on recovering your health first before finding a suitable time to break the news to you. Miss, no matter what happens, you're still young. Think of your family and the people who care about you..."
"It was so late at night and there were barely any cars and pedestrians on the road. At your dying breaths, you managed to run into me who had taken a wrong turn. Think about it, how rare it is! Don't you think this is God giving you a second chance? This is the kind of chance that most people would give anything for. Don't give up on yourself and waste this golden opportunity. After being in the hospital for a couple days, I'm sure you've heard the condition of other patients. That kind of helplessness is the saddest. How often can one be blessed in their lifetime?
Miss, you should think positively! Medicine has advanced incredibly. You're just in a slightly more disadvantageous position compared to others. There are plenty of people who are alone in this world. Some even successfully get pregnant in their sixties. Staying alive and keeping healthy is the best way to keep hope alive."
The two doctors took turns to talk. Slowly, they pulled Waverly up from the ground. It wasn't because of their words, but rather she was thinking of her family.
She had suffered a lot of pain and trauma, but she wasn't thinking of dying just yet.
In a daze, Waverly didn't know how to go back to her own ward.
When the relationship failed, she felt sadness and regret at most. Now, an inexplicable hate had formed in her heart. Inside her always peaceful heart, she felt anger.
He was the one who dragged her into his complicated love life. He was the one who made her undergo all that criticism and rumors. He was the one that lied to her with his sweet talk. He was the one that made her break her value of not having sex before marriage. He was the one who impregnated her. He was the one who made her lose the baby and destroyed her...
If he had saved her first, if she hadn't been washed away by that current, if she had gotten out of the water earlier, would she not have lost her child? Perhaps she would have been able to reserve her right as a mother.
In the following two days, Waverly sat on the bed with her arms around her knees. Her mind was full of images of the day when she was pushed into the water and the miserable conversation with the doctor. Her original plan to leave the hospital was suspended because of this incident. Her mood fluctuated and she was extremely confused.
Did she hate Wyatt?
Of course, she did. When she thought about how much she had poured into him and how she had basically given him everything she had held dear to her, Waverly had the impulse to kill him!
But once she calmed down, she would ask herself whether he was really in the wrong. What was the reason for her hating him? She couldn't seem to find the answer.
In this world, love was the most unexplainable thing. Giving did not always amount to return. Just because one sacrificed more, it did not mean that one would get more in return. Just like how he and Raynee fell out due to her appearance, or how she had done so much for Franklin, yet he still betrayed her and let her down. In the end, perhaps the only thing she could hate was how she didn't see through him. He didn't love her as much as she thought, and that was why he ended up choosing someone else and abandoning her.
But was he wrong? What could she blame him for?
"Haha."
After all, she was the one who got herself into all this. She voluntarily put herself in this position.
It was just unfortunate that she didn't turn out to be the main protagonist of the story.
But this time, the price was too great. She could no longer bear the weight on her shoulders.
