Chapter 683 What Happened Yesterday
At 10.30AM the next day, a private plane landed at Highside.
Leanna and Aidan immediately rushed to the hospital, where they saw Keaton, Louis, and Joseph waiting outside the ward.
After quickly approaching them, Leanna asked, "How is she?"
Keaton replied, "She came out of surgery, but… she's still asleep."
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor… said… Miss Hart was bleeding heavily when she was sent here… If we were any later, she might not make it too."
Closing her eyes, Leanna felt her body shivering. Even her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Without saying anything, she gently pushed the door open and headed inside.
Aidan withdrew his gaze and looked at Keaton. "Have you found Charlotte?"
While shaking his head, Keaton replied, "We've already blocked off every road leaving Highside, so they can't leave. Also, they don't seem to be planning on leaving, so the direction of our plan is wrong."
At that moment, a voice came from beside them. "It was my fault. This wouldn't have happened if I had brought Charlotte away sooner."
Hearing that, Aidan looked at Joseph.
Since he had previously carried Zoe in his arms, his shirt had been stained with blood, so he looked less refined than normal and even looked slightly flustered.
When facing Aidan's unfriendly gaze, he openly accepted it without cowering.
…
Inside the ward, Leanna looked at Zoe, who was on the bed and choked up a few times. Tears were streaming from her eyes, and she had to bite the back of her hand to keep herself quiet.
She had called Zoe yesterday, and she seemed fine.
Moreover, Zoe had gotten her pregnancy checkup the day before yesterday, and the doctor said the baby was fine.
Everything changed in one night…
The sunlight gradually shone through the window, illuminating the room.
Following that, the woman on the bed moved slightly.
Leanna quickly wiped away her tears and approached Zoe, whispering, "Zoe, Zoe."
Zoe weakly opened her eyes and looked around her before looking at Leanna. Then, she put on a smile. "Nana, you're back."
Nodding, Leanna assured her, "Yes, I'm back. How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Why don't I get a doctor to come check on you?"
"It hurts…"
"Where?"
Zoe muttered, "I don't know. My whole body is aching."
Leanna softly said, "I'll get the doctor."
Once she said that, she pressed the call button.
At that moment, Zoe grabbed Leanna's hand, and her dry lips trembled slightly. "Nana… Did I… Did I…"
She repeated her words several times but still couldn't voice the last few words.
On the other hand, Leanna sat beside the bed and held Zoe's hand. Before she could speak, a drop of tear fell from her eyes.
Looking up, Zoe seemed calm as she muttered, "Actually, I could feel it. I could feel everything from when I was in the car to the hospital and inside the operating room. I knew my child was slowly losing his life, and I couldn't pull him back."
While helping Zoe tidy up her hair, Leanna choked up. "Don't think about it anymore. Let's focus on getting better."
Slowly closing her eyes, Zoe let out silent tears while digging her face into her pillow.
