I was struggling to suppress my fear before this. Colin's appearance made me feel like I had found my support. My emotions finally found an outlet, so I couldn't control myself anymore.
Colin became worried when he saw me crying incessantly through the video call without saying a word. He repeatedly asked me what happened and why I was at the hospital. He told me not to rush and take my time to explain to him.
I wanted to tell him everything, but I was trembling all over. It felt like my mouth was being controlled. I couldn't say a word except to cry.
"Darling, you have to stop crying and tell me what happened, okay? Be good. Your tears are making me anxious."
I still couldn't speak no matter how I tried. Finally, Andrew took my phone and told Colin that I was fine, but Queenie had lost a lot of blood and was now in the emergency room.
Knowing my relationship with Queenie, Colin was also extremely anxious when he heard about her situation. He repeatedly asked me to calm down and listen to him.
I didn't know how long I cried, but Colin stayed on the phone with me and continued to speak to me softly.
Finally, I stopped trembling and gradually calmed down. Andrew helped me to sit in the waiting area as I tried to stay focused. I squeezed my palms tightly to keep myself alert while listening to Colin.
"Lulu, can you hear me?"
I nodded, indicating that I was listening.
Colin breathed a sigh of relief and gently reminded me to stay calm. He said that Queenie might have had a miscarriage and that I shouldn't worry too much. The doctors would take care of her.
After talking with him for a while, I finally calmed down completely and could think rationally about the situation.
"Why did you suddenly call me? Did Flynn contact you?" Colin's calls were very consistent. Normally at this time, I would be painting in the studio, so he wouldn't disturb me.
He hesitated before telling me that Flynn had called him and asked if something had happened.
