After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 13

“Ms. Rowan, we’ve spoken to a member of your family. You can rest easy.”

The ER nurse pushed Aria’s gurney into a room.

It was a large, open ward.

Aria had received prompt medical attention and was no longer in any mortal danger.

Hearing the nurse’s words, Aria’s heart ached. At this point, did she even have any family willing to come take care of her?

Half an hour later, Aria had regained a bit of strength.

The nurse looked at Aria with a hint of pity. “Ms. Rowan, does your husband live far from here?”

So they had contacted Gideon.

She had a gastric hemorrhage. Her life was saved for now, but she would have to pay for any further treatment.

When they married, she had changed her emergency contact to Gideon.

She thought that with a heart full of love, marriage would give her a home. Three years later, she saw the truth.

“I’ll pay for it myself.”

Ignoring the nurse’s question, Aria struggled to pull out her phone.

“You can scan the code here.”

“Ms. Rowan, given your condition, you really should have a family member stay with you,” the nurse suggested tactfully.

Aria had studied medicine; how could she not know?

She already had a weak stomach. The alcohol followed by the forced vomiting had caused another hemorrhage.

“What about other family members? Would you like to call someone else?”

Aria’s eyes stung, and she was on the verge of tears. Before she could speak, she heard a commotion outside.

“Doctor! Doctor!”

It was Charles’s voice.

Aria turned her head to see Charles rushing into the ER, carrying Flora.

Flora was curled up in Charles’s arms, trembling. “Charles, my stomach hurts so much! Am I going to die? Sob!”

Doctors and nurses immediately rushed over.

Through the thick curtain, Aria could vaguely see Charles’s anxious expression.
