It looked like Chris had given Yvonne a good shove. From the sudden force and blow upon her body, she could not maintain her balance and fell on the ground. She then sat on the ground with a frown on her face.
"Now gather your stuff and leave this house. We don't want to see you ever again, " Chris exclaimed. But instead of waiting for Yvonne to get up, she herself grabbed Yvonne's suitcase and irritably flung it right out of the main door.
From all her past encounters, Autumn knew too well that given Yvonne's character, she just wouldn't accept her fate gracefully. She would instead go to the extreme in this circumstance. But right when Autumn was about to say something to stop her from acting out, she saw her falling, on her back all of a sudden, with a loud thud.
"Come on, you are making us sick with your acting. What a fabulous fake faint! But I must interrupt your performance and tell you that no matter what cheap tricks you pull out of your sleeve today, you must leave this house." Chris now felt so infuriated for Autumn's sake and was trying to defend her. She believed that Autumn must have been forced into this marriage. With that it all made sense to her as why Autumn was keeping Charles at a distance early in their married life, and it was all fair.
Luckily for them, this marriage was a happy accident, they ended up falling in love with each other.
Although Chris was repeatedly nudging her with rude remarks to leave, Yvonne maintained her position, and was turning pale while she was still. Chris then realized that something was terribly wrong. She walked over and tentatively asked, "Please don't tell me that you are just pretending."
The second she glanced upon Yvonne's pale face she broke out into a cold sweat. She thought that she had simply given her a jog to keep her away from Autumn but never realized that it could cause her to faint and turn pale.
Autumn could also sense that something bad had happened. Her face tensed up as she went over to lift Yvonne up and checked her over. Suddenly, Autumn's face changed color. There was literally a pool of blood under Yvonne's body. "We need to rush her to the hospital right now." Autumn cried out.
The accident was also way beyond Charles's expectation. He yanked Chris's arm and urged, "What are you waiting for? Call an ambulance right now!"
Chris was shaken to her core and Charles's words brought her back to her senses. She then helped them send Yvonne to the hospital, almost mechanically and void of emotion. It was not until Yvonne was rushed into the operating room that she finally realized what had happened. She sank to the floor and was frightened out of her wits.
Autumn hurried to help her up on her feet. She took her hand gently in hers while comforting her and helped her sit on a bench in the hospital corridor. "Don't worry, everything will be fine, " she consoled her.
"Autumn…" cried Chris, holding her hand firmly. She was willing to open her heart only to Autumn in this dreadful situation as she feared that Charles couldn't understand her feelings since he was a man.
"Rest assured, I'm here for you." Autumn stroked her hand gently.
"Autumn, I didn't mean to, I only nudged her…how did… this happen, there was so much blood?" asked Chris as she was terrified.
Instead of answering her, Autumn was lost in thought. 'Simply falling down won't cause such severe bleeding. It seems as though Yvonne had a miscarriage. The question is...'
"Who is here with Yvonne Gu?" asked a doctor who came out from the operating room. Hearing the doctor's words, the three of them rushed up to her. "How is she?" asked Autumn anxiously.
"She suffered a hemorrhage and I'm sorry we were unable to save the baby. Please sign this operation agreement, " the doctor said in a succinct but clear way, while passing the document on to Charles. He frowned but did not take it. The doctor looked up at him and urged, "Hurry up, grab a pen. Your wife's life is hanging in the balance and every minute counts. Just sign it before it's too late."
