Mr Billionaire's Regret Chasing His Irresistible Wife (Jared and Arielle) novel Chapter 42

(ARIELLE'S POV)

I groaned and tried to sit up on the bed, while glancing around my surroundings. I was in a hospital room, but I had no idea how I got there. I tried to recall, but my mind was a blur.

That was when I saw her, Ashley. She was sitting next to me, her head resting on the bed.

“Ashley?” I croaked, my voice dry.

She looked up, and quickly grabbed my hand, tears brimming in her eyes. “Oh goodness, you're awake. Are you alright?”

I nodded. “What happened? Where am I?”

“You're in the hospital. I should get the doctor,” Ashley said and rose to her feet.

“Hospital?” I tried to remember, but everything was fuzzy. And then it struck me; my baby! I remembered the accident, bleeding, and my hands flew to my stomach.

“My baby,” I whispered, panic setting in.

Ashley looked away, and I cast her a quizzical look. “Say something. Is my baby alright?”

Ashley winced, still not meeting my gaze, but I could see the tears at the corner of her eyes. “I'm sorry,” she sniffed.

“Why are you sorry? Tell me what happened to my child!” I demanded, my heart racing with fear of the unknown.

“We lost the baby –”

I paused, and looked at Ashley like she had developed two heads. For a moment, I was in denial, my brain refusing to digest and accept the news.

But the tears now flowing down Ashley's eyes told me this was no dream. This was reality, my reality.

“No!” I screamed and tugged at the intravenous infusion on my hand, and it came off, blood gushing out.

“Oh my God!” Ashley yelled in horror. “Stop it, Arielle.”

But I was beyond that point. I gave off another scream, pulling at my hair.

“I'll go get the doctor now,” Ashley said and hurried off.

She returned a few minutes later with a doctor. By now, I was feeling dizzy, and in pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
