The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 204

"Did I... have a miscarriage?"

Roxanne put into words the sentence Madison had been unable to say for a long time.

Her voice sounded somewhat weak.

Her reaction was a mix of surprise, shock, and sudden pain.

Madison stayed silent, merely nodding her head in confirmation.

Roxanne fell silent for a long while, not uttering a word.

Her gaze shifted from Madison to the night view outside the hospital window.

She remembered it was still daytime when she passed out.

She has had half a day passed since she was brought into the hospital till she woke up?

Had she just lost her baby after a nap?

She didn't even know she was pregnant.

If she ever became a mom, she would definitely be the warmest, gentlest, and most loving one in the world.

Because she herself was a child abandoned by her mother.

She wanted to make up for all the things she lacked in her own childhood by giving everything to her adorable child.

During the time she and Harrison were planning to have a baby, she imagined herself as a mother. It was a kind of happiness beyond description.

However, her first child just disappeared without a trace.

Fireworks suddenly lit up the night sky outside the window. Maybe because Christmas was coming, everyone seemed to be getting into the festive spirit.

In such a joyful and romantic atmosphere, the news she received was that she had lost her baby.

But maybe it was good news, considering her relationship with Harrison had grown distant.

She wasn't even sure how much further she could go with Harrison.

Losing her baby might be a blessing in disguise.

But still, her heart ached. It was her child, and she didn't even get a chance to love him.

Madison handed her a cell phone.

"Roxanne, I wanted to call your husband and tell him about your miscarriage. But your phone is locked, and I don't have his number. Do you want to tell him?"

After a moment of thought, Roxanne took the phone.

She made a decision very seriously.

She should tell Harrison about the miscarriage.

He was the father of the child, and he had the right to know.

But she didn't know how to break the news to Harrison.

Harrison loved children, and Vincent was eager to become a grandfather.

Now that the child had disappeared just like that, it would be a huge blow to the father-son duo.

She felt guilty, for she had been carrying their child but couldn't keep it.

She drafted and deleted several messages, ending up just sending a simple one to Harrison, "I was pregnant, but I just miscarried. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."

After sending the message, she waited for Harrison's reply.

Time it seemed to slow down.

Just a few minutes felt like an eternity.

Harrison didn't reply, so Roxanne called him.

The call went through, but no one picked up.

Maybe he was busy.

When Harrison's phone rang, it was in his office.

The office secretary team, consisting of over a dozen people, was responsible for conveying the boss's instructions to all secretaries.

The new curly-haired assistant saw the boss's phone ringing. The caller ID displayed "Wife".

It was Mrs. Rodriguez's call!

Everyone was talking about how the boss had secretly gotten married. They were curious about what kind of woman his wife was.

But then she remembered that no one should disturb the boss during a meeting.

So even if it was the boss's wife, she could wait until after the meeting, right?

And so, the new assistant didn't tell Harrison about the call.

Such a topic always made people feel embarrassed, and it was not easy to answer so directly.

The doctor continued, "Have you been away from Seraphim Haven for a long time? How often do you and your husband see each other?"

Roxanne answered, "We haven't seen each other for more than a month. I think my husband was probably feeling pent up. I've been too busy with work to stay by his side and meet his physical needs."

The doctor sighed, "Even so, you should have been more careful. Being pregnant and having sex that many times in one night is dangerous. The fetus is very fragile during the first three months, and you were careless. That's why the miscarriage occurred so easily."

Hearing the female doctor say this, it was clear that her miscarriage was definitely tied to their rather excessive antics that night.

No wonder there was blood on her pants when she woke up the next day.

She had mistaken it for her period at that time.

She should've stopped Harrison's advances then, instead of letting things go too far.

But regretting it now won't help anything.

One can't just blame Harrison for this; Roxanne didn't notice the change in her body either.

All Roxanne hoped was that Harrison wouldn't take the news too hard when he saw it.

Harrison, far away in Seraphim Haven, had just finished a meeting at eleven o'clock at night.

Roxanne was feeling weak and exhausted, and she lay down to sleep.

But she couldn't sleep soundly, always thinking about waiting for Harrison to reply to her message or call her back.

But Harrison didn't respond.

As he left the conference room, the curly-haired female assistant waiting outside approached him and handed him his phone.

"Mr. Harrison, your wife called at eight o'clock. I didn't disturb you because you were in a meeting."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Harrison's face immediately turned serious.

He quickly grabbed his phone, intending to call Roxanne back immediately, when he saw an unread message.

He opened WhatsApp to read.

Roxanne had a miscarriage, a miscarriage?

His already serious face turned ominously dark.

Looking at the new secretary, he suddenly lost his cool, "My wife called. Why didn't you tell me right away?"
