Crystal was rattled with a pale face.
She didn't know what to do, "Why is there no fetal heart..."
Suddenly, her mind was in a mess. Because she had no experience of pregnancy, she tried to calm herself down and kept thinking about the popular science knowledge of pregnancy.
The first thing that came to her mind was that if the three-month fetus didn't have a heartbeat, it meant that the fetus was dead.
She was so scared that her hands were trembling. She leaned against the back of the sofa. She didn't even dare to move, being afraid that her movements would cause bad effects. Looking down at her legs, she saw that there was no blood. Actually she didn't feel unwell...
"It's okay, it's okay..." She mumbled to comfort herself with trembling lips.
Grabbing the phone on the table restlessly, she dialed Chandler's number.
[Sorry, the phone number is busy now. Please try again later.]
She was utterly upset.
[Sorry, the phone number is busy now. Please try again later.]
She dialed again and again in bewilderment. But all she got were the same cold mechanical replies.
An unprecedented grievance and helplessness were choked in her throat. Her eyes turned red. Holding back her tears, she dialed another number.
"Chris, Christina, I, I don't know what happened... It seems that my baby doesn't have a heartbeat..."
The moment the call was connected, she spoke out her panic and fear. Finally, she couldn't help crying.
"I, I have no experience. What should I do now? Can I take a car to the hospital? Should I stay here? I really don't know what to do. Can you come over quickly? I'm so scared. I'm really scared..."
Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably. She shouted in a trembling voice and prayed from the bottom of her heart that God didn't take her baby away. She was willing to exchange everything for the baby's safety.
It was Charles who answered the phone. He was surprised, "What's going on... Why are you crying?"
Even Mr. Shepherd, who had never spoken much, frowned, "No fetal heart? You must go to the hospital immediately."
There was a faint cry on the other end of the phone. Originally, Christina was chatting and laughing with the Shepherd family. Suddenly, everyone quieted down and listened to her in confusion. Then, Christina rushed over and said, "Charles, get out of my way and give me back my phone... Crystal, stay where you are. I'll go back right now."
"It's useless. It'll take at least an hour to drive back from the villa. When you get back, the baby won't be able to survive."
When Crystal, who was on the other end of the phone, heard that, her heart was beating wildly. Even her tears ceased. Feeling frightened, her brain was blank and she could not think.
Patting her stupid son on the head, Mrs. Shepherd said hatefully, "Don't say that."
Mrs. Shepherd snatched the phone and asked with concern, "Where's Chandler? Did you call him? Is the Stephenson family present? Oh, why do they leave a pregnant woman alone at home?"
These questions made it worse at that moment.
Lucy, the outsider, was the clearest, "It's best to lie still, take a deep breath, and calm down."
"We need an hour to get there. If you call 911, it will take 35 minutes for the doctors to arrive... I personally recommend that you call the hotline for community service. Someone will answer in 1 minute, someone will be at the door in 3 minutes, and you will arrive at the nearest hospital in 6 minutes."
Christina almost yelled at her phone, "Yes! Yes! Crystal, you should call the community service now. They are on duty 24 hours a day..."
Crystal was suffering at home alone. But when she heard that so many people on the other end of the phone were giving her advice, she felt more at ease.
She sobbed and calmed herself down, "I, I know. I call immediately..."
By the time Christina and the others arrived at the hospital, Crystal had already been placed on the sickbed for injection. With a pale face, she was still scared.
Mrs. Shepherd was the first to rush into the ward excitedly and asked, "How are you? Do you feel any discomfort? Oh, look at your little face. The nutrition isn't enough..."
Crystal was not familiar with Mrs. Shepherd, but when she saw how concerned Mrs. Shepherd was, she forced a smile on her weak face and nodded, "Hello, Mrs. Shepherd." Her voice was low and weak.
The other members of the Shepherd family, Mr. Shepherd, her three sons, and even Lucy, followed closely behind.
"Stop talking, stop talking. Your body was weak... Are you thirsty? I pour you half a cup of warm water." Mrs. Shepherd had always loved girls. She immediately displayed her maternal love.
Mrs. Shepherd turned around and called out to her sons, "Take a clean cup over. Also, you, Shepherd, go downstairs to the restaurant and buy some soup. The fish soup and chicken soup are better..."
Shepherd quickly looked around the ward and did not find anyone from the Stephenson family. He immediately obeyed Mrs. Shepherd's orders with a calm expression and went downstairs to buy tonic soup.
It was not unwillingness. But in principle, these things should be done by Chandler or the Stephenson family.
What was the matter with the Stephenson family? Even Shepherd was dissatisfied.
Christina and Charles went straight to the doctor to ask about Crystal's current situation, and then they walked into the ward.
When Crystal saw Christina, as if she met a relative, she immediately shouted, "Christina!"
After all, she was not familiar with the Shepherd family, including Lucy.
"The doctor said the baby was fine. Don't worry." Christina walked to the sickbed and comforted her.
She nodded with red eyes.
Then, she looked at the people in the ward, feeling touched and ashamed, "Mrs, Mrs. Shepherd, I'm sorry that you didn't eat well..."
"Maybe I was too nervous. I touched my belly and couldn't feel the fetal heart, so I panicked... I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. It's okay." Mrs. Shepherd, who was always straightforward, waved her hand.
"Crystal, have you eaten something wrong recently?" Charles asked her with a serious expression, "Have you eaten something cold?"
"I didn't." Crystal shook her head on the hospital bed.
