Ice and Fire novel Chapter 790

"Uncle, this is all my fault. This wouldn't have happened if I have taken good care of Violet," Greg blamed himself, believing he was the reason why Cassie hurt his wife.

Just then, the doctor finally came out of the operating room.

Upon seeing him, they all immediately stood up and flocked to the physician. Anxious for an update, everyone started talking and asking questions all at the same time.

"How is she? How is she doing? Is she alright?" Greg started asking a flurry of questions, obviously shaken.

Unbeknownst to them, the doctor had been discreetly observing each and everyone around him. This was because he recognized his patient inside the operating room. She was Greg Xiao's wife and her father-in-law, Fred Xiao, was the CEO of XS Hospital. Also standing in front of him right now were legendary figures in the business circle, Wilson, Derek, and Selina.

Focusing on Greg, the physician looked at him as he answered, "She is fine now, but she's still a little weak so she needs a good rest without interruptions. But..."

He paused for a while, causing concern and unease to everyone around him. They were all looking anxiously at him.

Though all their worries could be felt, Greg was the most distressed among them. He never averted his worried gaze from the doctor, waiting for him to continue. He dreaded what the doctor could possibly say next.

The physician reluctantly continued, "I have done everything I could, but I couldn't save the baby. I am sorry."

All of a sudden, everyone startled and froze. Still filled with worry, Greg didn't clearly understand what the doctor said. Alice looked shocked and couldn't believe what she just heard. Dumbfounded that Violet had been pregnant, Francis' eyes widened with surprise.

The doctor kept his gaze at the still flustered Greg as he continued, "She had been blacked out for a long time before she was taken here. And she also received a hard blow on her belly, so..."

Suddenly, Derek dashed forward and grabbed the doctor by the collar. "Why didn't you save the baby? Why couldn't you? Why!?" he kept asking indignantly.

Amy came forward and reached out her hand to remove her husband's hold off the doctor, as Derek blazed with anger. She was convinced that the doctor had done his best and it was clear that he was not the one to blame.

Greg was trembling, involuntarily taking several steps backward. Thinking back, he suddenly understood a lot of things he couldn't before. 'Now I know why Violet does not want a divorce. This is why she agreed to continue to be with me, letting bygones be bygones. Despite everything, it turns out she still did all those for our unborn child, ' he mulled over.

He was suddenly filled with such a deep regret. If only he had found out about Violet's pregnancy earlier, he never would have left her side. He would've attended to and taken care of her every single day and night. He especially wouldn't let others hurt her and would've guarded her and their unborn child with all his might.

Alice's eyes started to water, and she covered her mouth as she started to cry silently. "How are we going to let Violet know about this?" she sobbed.
