Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 4

“What’s going on?” Antonio turned around and wrinkled his eyebrows. The care he displayed by immediately extending his hand to hold her up placed a big contrast against the aloofness when he treated Adelaide. “My stomach hurts…” Tears flowed out of Clarissa’s eyes due to pain and her pitiful look made people’s heart ached. Antonio frowned and unintentionally glimpsed at Adelaide. After a moment of hesitation, he still carried Clarissa up and headed towards the outside.

Watching Antonio and Clarissa left, Adelaide shot a glare towards Channing who was still kneeling there. She was wearing a bitter smile, yet there was a sharp pain in her heart. But luckily, she was saved by the bell. Channing was then dragged away by someone but she did not care about that. The living room became empty and lifeless once again. Watching the people in front of her leaving one by one, she finally collapsed onto the couch.

She placed her hand on her tummy and caressed it. There was a brimming soft light in her eyes. “Mommy would protect you. Mommy would not let anyone harm you, even if it’s your dad.” Her voice was gentle but determined. Although only half the day had passed by, her heart had become stronger than ever before. A mother’s love towards her child was indeed powerful.

Yet reality did not give Adelaide much chance to relax. Within an hour, Antonio had made a call back to notify her to go to the hospital. Clarissa was lying on the bed with a cadaverous face like a fragile doll. She who had been adored before made people wanted to protect her even more. Yet what shocked Adelaide was Clarissa’s checkup report. It turned out that Clarissa had become pregnant for two months! Besides that, the report said that she had a severe anemia too.

Adelaide was in a deep shock. She could tell who was the child’s father without even thinking, and the reason Antonio asked her to come to the hospital would definitely not be to just inform her that Clarissa was pregnant. “Because of you hitting her, you’ve hurt the baby and since Clarissa is anemic, every blood bank in City H is out of blood. If I’m not wrong, your blood type is also Rh-negative, right?” As expected, Antonio wanted her to become Clarissa’s blood bank!
