Sally squatted down and coaxed gently, “Connor, Sharon, don’t worry. Your mommy will be all right.”
“Really?” Sharon looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Sally nodded. “Of course.”
“But I saw that Mommy was bleeding a lot,” Sharon said while crying.
“I saw it too.” Connor nodded.
The three adults were shocked.
“Did Nat bleed?” Sally looked at Silas and saw the bloodstains on his clothes.
The three adults panicked.
“Gosh. There’s so much blood on Mr. Campbell. Nat must be hemorrhaging. Will she and the baby be all right?” Lina said worriedly.
Although she had never been pregnant, she knew that bleeding so much before the due date was unusual.
Both Silas and Sally shook their heads and said nothing.
They did not have the confidence to say that Natalie was fine like they did to the two kids earlier, having known that Natalie had bled so much.
The children’s hearts sank seeing that the three adults had fallen silent.
Sharon started bawling, while Connor did not shed a tear as he bit his lip and stared at the emergency room.
“Mommy will be fine!” Connor tried to convince himself and also the rest.
The three adults stared at him.
Sensing their gazes, he turned to look at them and repeated himself, “Mommy will be fine!”
The three adults were dumbfounded for a while before they looked at each other and smiled.
“That’s right, Connor. You’re right. Your mommy will be fine.” Sally touched his head.
Taking out a piece of tissue, Lina wiped the tears off Sharon’s face. “Yes, we have faith in your mommy. She’ll be fine.”
