Chapter 1539
Jensen's hands were drenched in blood, shaking uncontrollably as he fumbled to dial the number. "Fairmont Medical Center... You need to see her now."
When Gilbert arrived, he found Jensen hunched over, face buried in his blood-soaked hands. The sight was both shocking and terrifying. Gilbert rushed over, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded, ’What the hell happened? I trusted you to take care of her! That's why I let her go. How could you let this happen?’
Jensen looked up at him, his crimson eyes filled with a haunting emptiness. It was as if his soul had been swallowed by a rotting swamp, never to resurface.
In the end, Gilbert could not bring himself to hit Jensen. He released him and approached the emergency room door. Staring at it, he felt suffocated and overwhelmed.
"I'm so sorry. I won't yell at you or be cruel anymore. Just please, stay alive. You have to make it through this." i
He prayed silently, filled with regret for sending her away. He could not fathom life without her. The helplessness, uncertainty, and fear rose like a tide, slowly engulfing him, making it impossible to breathe. 2
After an agonizing wait, the doctor finally emerged, holding a basin filled with blood-tinged water. Inside it, a tiny fetus was barely visible. Gilbert could not bear to look, turning his gaze to the doctor instead. His voice caught in his throat, too afraid to ask anything. In that moment, fear devoured him completely. 1
It was the doctor who broke the silence. "We did everything we could, but we couldn't save the child. It is such a tragedy, considering how far along the pregnancy was."
Gilbert's body swayed slightly as he asked in a strained voice, ’And the mother?"
"She is clinging to life, but she's extremely weak."
