Chapter 644
Several people were standing at the emergency room door.
Danny was among them.
“Aunt!”
He threw himself at my legs. “Aunt, I saw the bad guys take you away. I was so scared. It was a good thing that Uncle was capable of saving you, but he got hurt.”
He sniffled. “I didn’t know Uncle would end up like this…”
I hadn’t expected it either. Ultimately, it was still my fault.
“Why aren’t you asleep? It’s so late.”
Alana explained for him, “He slept, but he was worried because he hadn’t seen you. When he woke up, he rushed over to check on you.”
I patted his head. “Good boy.”
Jane tapped my shoulder. “You two talk. I need to make a few work calls.”
“Is something wrong at the company?” I asked.
“No, I can handle it. You don’t need to worry about it.” Jane reassured me, “I’ll be right next door. If you need anything, call me.”
“Okay.”
I nodded. “You handle your things, I still have Danny here.”
Danny puffed out his little chest. “Pretty sister, I’m here!”
“Good.” Jane seemed a bit more at ease and walked a little farther away to make her call.
Alana stepped closer to me. “I think they’ve already said everything comforting, so I won’t repeat it. I prayed for a talisman for you both, I hope after this, you won’t have to face any more hardships.”
I tried to force a smile, but my eyes felt hollow. “Thank you, sister.”
Alana squeezed my shoulder. “No matter what you decide, we’ll support you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, sometimes, things cannot be forced.”
I nodded. “Thank you all for staying with me through this.”
Alana waved her hand. “Family doesn’t need to be polite.”
As dawn broke, Frank was finally wheeled out of the emergency room by Prof. Kilburn.
Dr. Travis came over to check my pulse before saying, Frank is fine, this kid has a strong will to live.”
I sighed in relief. “I’m really sorry for the trouble.”
Dr. Travis replied, “At my age, many friends have passed away. I can’t say I completely understand, but I have faced death myself. Such matters can’t be resolved by others, you have to work through it yourself.

If you really can’t, don’t neglect your own health. If you keep this up, things will be even more difficult later.
I sensed the meaning in Dr. Travis’s words.
He was telling me that if I couldn’t open up my heart, I wouldn’t be able to keep this child.
And if I forced myself to endure like this, I would harm my own body.
In that case, I would have to lose the baby, and future pregnancies would be even harder.
After a moment of silence, I said, “Thank you, Dr. Travis. I’ll remember your words.”
