"Janie? What's wrong with you?" Leona didn't expect that she would push Janie to the ground, but she didn't use much strength.
Although she blamed Janie for pushing her into the pool before, Leona did not lose her mind. She knew that Janie was pregnant now and it was because Janie wanted to hit her that she had to fight back. But how could Janie fall?
Lying in the ward, York was thinking about how to deal with the sequel left behind by Janie. Suddenly, he heard a quarrel in the corridor, as if it was Leona and Janie.
Of course he knew that Janie had just gone out, but why was there the voice of Leona? Was she also here? Then York slowly helped himself up by the support of the bed and walked outside.
Standing at the door of the ward, he happened to see that Leona pushed Janie and Janie fell to the ground.
"Janie! Leona, what are you doing?"
Hearing York's exclamation, Leona saw the disbelief on York's face and the complacency in Janie's eyes. In an instant, Leona realized that it was not her who pushed Janie down. It was all Janie's fault. Janie fell to the ground on purpose, just to make a show for York.
"York..." At a loss, Leona looked at York, and then looked at Janie who fell on the ground. Leona came closer again, bent down and tried to help Janie up.
"No, don't touch me. I beg you not to hurt my child. I know I shouldn't have pushed you down in the swimming pool. Please believe that I didn't mean it. Someone pushed me behind me. Leona, I know you hate me pushing you down, but please don't hurt my child, okay? It's not only my flesh and blood, but also York's. Please let us go!" With horror in her eyes, Janie kept stepping back to keep away from Leona.
Janie looked at York behind Leona, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She shouted, "York, my stomach hurts!" With obvious pain on her face, Janie put her hands on her stomach and whined.
For a moment, Leona didn't know what to do. She could only helplessly watch Janie acting here. She didn't worry about being framed by Janie. She just didn't want to be misunderstood by York.
"Janie, wait a minute. Don't be afraid. I'll call the doctor to check on you right away!" York said as he helped Janie up.
"I... I'll call the doctor!" After coming to herself, Leona quickly turned around and walked towards the doctor's office. Although Janie had gone too far, Leona couldn't turn a blind eye to it. After all, she had to think about York.
Soon, the doctor on duty arrived and pushed Janie into the observation room. There were only Leona and York standing in the corridor.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. York was seriously injured, and with such a toss just now, he looked tired.
Looking at him like this, Leona felt both guilty and distressed. After all, York was her best friend, at least she thought so.
"Let me help you go back to your ward and have a rest. I will take care of the situation here for you. When Janie is fine, I will tell you!" Said Leona, looking at York.
"No, thanks. I'd better stay here. I can't fall asleep even if I go back!" York shook his head and said indifferently.
