Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372

Eliza hit him hard enough that her palm went numb.

And yet it still did nothing to ease the grief and fury tearing through her.

Ambrose turned his head to the side and said nothing.

Not long after, the nurses wheeled Belle out.

Eyes red, Eliza hurried after them, asking the nurses about Belle’s condition.

“She’s still unconscious,” one nurse said. “Her family should stay with her. If anything happens, call the doctor Immediately.*

Eliza’s throat was so tight she couldn’t speak. She could only clasp Belle’s nearly ice–cold hand in both of hers, trying to warm it.

The nurses kept moving in and out of the room.

Eliza stayed by the bedside the entire time, not leaving for even half a step.

Ambrose was there too.

But he said nothing.

Right now, Eliza’s whole mind was on Belle. She had no energy to spare on someone so irrelevant.

Belle woke up two hours later.

Because Eliza had been holding her hand the whole time, she was the first to notice the movement. She immediately leaned in and called softly, Babe, you’re awake? Does anything hurt? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

Belle struggled to make a sound, but what came out was mostly breath.

‘It hurts.”

‘I’m cold.”

Those were the only two sensations she had.

Eliza kept rubbing her hands and blowing warm air onto them, trying to bring some heat back into them.

Then she hurriedly called for the nurse and asked whether they had heating packs or any equipment that could warm someone up quickly.

The nurse brought over hot water bottles.

But Belle still felt cold.

Even though she was covered in thick blankets, with four or five hot water bottles tucked under them, and the room’s heat turned all the way up-

the still felt as though she were trapped in an ice cellar.

Anxious, Eliza called the doctor over to ask about it.

After checking Belle, the doctor explained only that it was a normal postoperative reaction–the anesthesia had suppressed the body’s temperature regulating center, causing her temperature to drop.

Only then did Eliza finally let out a breath of relief. Afraid Belle would lose more heat, she kept tucking the blankets more tightly around her.

Belle shivered for a long while before she slowly began to recover.

But her face was still terribly pale, drained of all color.

she kept her eyes closed and said nothing, lying there quietly.

3ut tears kept slipping from the corners of her eyes.

Even though Eliza hadn’t told her anything, she already knew what she had lost.

At the sight of that. Eliza turned her head away, doing everything she could to hold down the grief surging inside her.

My good girl, my good girl-”

Grandma Quinn came hurrying to the hospital.

¡efore she even reached the room, her voice arrived first.

selle, who had kept her eyes shut the whole time, finally opened them when she heard that voice.

Grandma Quinn pushed open the door, and the moment she saw Belle like this, her eyes reddened. “My good girl, how did you end up hurt like this? Tell Grandma who did this to you. Grandma will settle the score for you!”

Grandma…” Belle’s voice was hoarse. She only managed to say that one word before emotion choked her speech completely.

Her tears came even harder.

Grandma Quinn gathered her into her arms and comforted her over and over. “It’s alright, it’s alright. Grandma’s here. Grandma will find you the best doctors.”

t was only under Grandma Quinn’s comfort that Belle, who had been holding everything in, finally dared to let all the grievance and pain inside her pour out

without reserve.

She cried so hard her whole body shook.

woman badly.

My good girl, tell Grandma–who wronged you this badly? And what injury did you suffer? Why are you in the hospital?”

Eliza shot a cold glance at Ambrose, who had stayed silent the entire time. In the end, unable to bear it, she said bluntly to Grandma Quinn, “She miscarried.”

Grandma Quinn froze. “What? Miscarried? What happened?!”

Ask your grandson.”

Grandma Quinn had lived long enough to hear the meaning beneath Eliza’s tone.

he whipped around and looked at Ambrose. “You say it. What exactly happened?”

…I’m still investigating,” Ambrose said.

Investigating, or covering up the truth?” Eliza finally lost her patience and snapped at him. “When you took Belle away to talk, she was still fine. How did it urn into this in the blink of an eye? She collapsed, and the baby is gone!”

That was his child too.

How could he be this-

this cold?

On what grounds?

What gave him the right to act as though it had nothing to do with him?

Ambrose tried to explain. “After we finished talking, she left. I don’t know what happened after that.”

“And… I didn’t know she was pregnant.”

It was Lilith.” That was Eliza’s first reaction.

Grandma Quinn paused. “Lilith?”

o Eliza told her everything that had happened that day, including how Lilith had made things difficult for Belle.

Grandma Quinn’s anger simmered close to the surface. She turned to Ambrose and said, “Come outside with me.”

Ince grandmother and grandson left, Belle gradually stopped crying too.

And even then, her anger still didn’t ease in the slightest. “At a time like this, you’re still trying to reason things out for that little bitch? You’re beyond saving?”

“Get divorced!”

Her whole body was trembling as she gave the order. “Belle deserves someone better. You’re not worthy of her!”
