"What?" Dolores suddenly became tensed. They had just met not long ago, why could she suddenly be hospitalized?
"What happened?" Dolores asked nervously.
"I have no idea too. She's at the No.2 People's hospital right now."
Matthew leaned over and casually put his palms on her thighs. Dolores wore a black base sweater, jeans, also wore a khaki windbreaker to go with it. His warm palms caressed her thighs ambiguously, "Don't worry."
Dolores looked down at his hand, "She's pregnant. It's not good news if she's hospitalized."
He suddenly grabbed her thighs. Dolores frowned, and said word by word, "I'm driving."
Matthew looked at her seriously and said, "I want another daughter."
Dolores pursed her lips. She and Matthew had not done any safety precautions, but she didn't get pregnant.
When she gave birth to Samuel and Simona, the doctor told her she had damaged her body, so it's would be hard for her to conceive again.
At that time, she thought that she already had the two of them, so it didn't matter if she couldn't conceive. But now...
"When you have the time, you should go change their family names," Dolores said seriously.
If she were to be together with Matthew and couldn't have any children in the future, one of her two kids must at least bear the Nelson family name. Otherwise, Matthew would have no child left to carry his family name.
Matthew slightly lightened the grip on her thigh and stroked her gently instead. He remembered Dolores told him that she could no longer conceive, but he thought she was just saying casually.
It seemed to be true. They had not done any safety precautions since they were together. But until now, she had not been able to get pregnant yet.
As a matter of fact, when they first slept together for the first time, she got pregnant and gave birth to Samuel and Simona, which meant that she was extremely fertile. However, this time they had been making out with each other for more than two months.
"I don't want to get pregnant anymore." Dolores was really afraid of that painful feeling. It's still haunting her memories until now.
Whenever she thought about it, she could feel the lingering fears in her heart.
If her body was fine and her relationship with Matthew was stable, she didn't mind enduring the pregnancy pain once again.
However, even if she had wanted, it would be impossible. Therefore, she might as well be honest and tell him clearly, in case he still held on to some fantasy or hope.
Without fantasy or hope, there would naturally be no disappointment.
The car was parked in front of the hospital. The two of them understandingly didn't continue the topic just now, and the atmosphere was a tad subtle.
Matthew got out of the car in silence. As Dolores walked over, as if to break the subtlety, she asked deliberately, "Did Armand called you?"
Matthew only replied to her with a faint hum.
Dolores thought to herself, 'Did Armand find out that Theresa was pregnant? The two of them argued, and that's why Theresa was hospitalized?'
Reasonably speaking, if Armand knew that Theresa was pregnant, he would definitely not quarrel with Theresa.
She was worried for Theresa and walked hurriedly. Matthew put his arms around her shoulder but didn't say anything.
Dolores' volatile emotions slowly calmed down. Following Matthew's footsteps, they arrived before the surgery room.
Armand sat in the corridor, and his clothes were still wet. However, because he had been in the hospital for quite some time, therefore some parts of his clothes were already half-dried up by the air conditioner.
He walked anxiously, back and forth, in front of the surgery room door. As he saw Dolores and Matthew, he stopped moving.
“Dolores…”
"What happened? Why was Theresa hospitalized?" Dolores asked.
Armand reprimanded himself, "It's all my fault."
If it wasn't for him and Phoebe, she wouldn't have gotten herself into this trouble, and she wouldn't...
"I want to know everything!" Dolores said with a stern tone.
"Phoebe caught her, and she was injured in the explosion..." Armand gave a brief explanation of what happened. Dolores was dazed and couldn't believe what she had just heard. Explosion?
Her legs went limp and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily, Matthew was just beside her and held her in time.
