Then, another open-handed slap landed heavily on Rena's face.
Rena's father felt how hard he struck her judging by how much his palm hurt. He showed no mercy to Rena, making sure that every slap could be heard!
Disregarding the sharp pain in his hands and his palpitating heart, Rena's father pointed his finger at her and roared, "You are so shameless! How did I end up having a worthless daughter like you? Are you even aware that you didn't just humiliate yourself? You've humiliated me, your mother and everyone else around you! You've made a joke out of the whole family!"
Pausing for a second, her father closed his eyes and continued, "You are such an idiot!
Why can't you be satisfied with what we have? Why do you have to make such a fuss about everything? Can't you see where greed is leading you? If something happens to that girl's child, our family will become the An Family's enemy! We will have nowhere to hide in this city and they will make us suffer!"
Meanwhile on the third floor of that same building, in the gynecological department.
The doctor who was checking Carla's vital signs, stared at her with concern.
Carla was in a lot of pain and she was crying on the hospital bed.
"We are running out of time. We should hurry up and perform an operation!"
Tiny beads of sweat appeared on Carla's forehead as her face went deathly pale. She gasped for air and said, "What do you mean, doctor? How is my baby doing? Is everything all right?"
"You are bleeding. You will suffer from severe hemorrhage if we do not perform the operation now. I'm sorry to say this but there's a high chance that you are going to lose the baby,"
said the doctor with a sad expression.
"No! No! Terence, I don't want to lose our child! No..." While she groaned in pain and shook her head violently, Carla's tears streamed down her face. She couldn't believe this was happening to her.
Terence, on the other hand, seemed to be at a complete loss. His eyebrows furrowed deeply as he held Carla's hand. He looked at the doctor and said, "Please do what you must to save Carla. Please make sure that she is safe no matter what!"
"All right. I will go and arrange the operation. I will ask the nurse to bring the operation agreement to you. We need your signature to authorize the operation. I'm guessing you two are husband and wife, right?"
Terence's face darkened a little. He was so close to getting the marriage certificate with her.
"Huh? If you are not her husband then she will have to sign the agreement certificate by herself." After saying those words, the doctor stood up from the chair and said, "I will go and prepare the operating room. You should stay here and convince her to sign the agreement."
Carla placed one of her hands on her stomach. She grabbed Terence's hand with the other. She begged him with tear-soaked eyes. "No, Terence. We have to save our baby. You can't just give up on our baby like that. Please beg the doctor to save our child. Please..."
