"Why do you want to know?" The nurse looked at Mrs. Gardner.
The latter smiled gently and answered, "Here is the thing. I'm his relative. He kept going out in the last two days, so we were worried about him. I happened to see him here just now, so I wanted to ask about it and inform his family later, so they will be relieved."
The nurse could tell Mrs. Gardner was different from ordinary people, so she thought the latter wasn't lying. Off-guard, she answered, "His wife had an abortion. He was here to accompany her."
"An abortion?" Mrs. Gardner gaped and exclaimed.
The nurse frowned. "Ma'am, this is the inpatient department. Please lower your voice."
"I'm sorry. I'm just too shocked." Mrs. Gardner put on a wry smile. When she turned around, astonishment was written all over her face.
She guessed Amber was pregnant with Jared's baby.
When did that happen?
Mrs. Gardner gripped the insulation pail tightly. Her heart was racing.
When she saw Amber a few days ago, she recalled that her belly didn't bulge, so she guessed that Amber hadn't been pregnant for a long time. It should be less than three months.
