Chapter 177
Immediately, Victoria understood what I was saying. “Okay, I’ll get it now!”
I groaned in pain all the way home to Delta Hospital. The doctor on duty tonight was Sally, who was hired by Isabella Carlier.
As soon as I entered the hospital, Sally hurried over. “Why are you bleeding? Hurry, we need to get into the operating room!”
I was quickly wheeled into the operating room. The door was closed; Carson and my father-in-law were kept outside. But Sally was really closing the door on the show.
After the ‘surgery, I passed out’ and was pushed out of the operating room. Carson approached eagerly. “Doctor, what is the situation?”
“We lost the child. She was given anesthesia and is in a coma. It won’t be a problem as long as there isn’t too much bleeding afterwards,” Sally replied.
“How can it be?” There was agony in Carson’s voice; it was evident that he cared deeply for the ‘child’ in my belly.
“Yes, how could this happen? I remember that she was only discharged from here a few days ago. The last time I had a checkup, the fetus and the mother were very healthy. That was just a few days ago, so how did this happen?”
“Must be her job. I told her not to work anymore and get some rest at home, but she refused to listen. If she did, this wouldn’t have happened.” Carson was probably very concerned that he’d put all the blame on my work.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with her work. A lot of people go to work normally when they’re pregnant,” Sally protested.
“But my
wife is special. She has had a miscarriage in the past and it has been difficult for her to get pregnant. Aside from the stress of work, I can’t find any other reason to explain the miscarriage.”
“You are wrong. Your wife’s miscarriage has nothing to do with exhaustion. It was more like…” Sally paused before continuing, “It’s useless to say anything now; it would be better to take the patient back to the ward to rest!”
“More like what?” Carson asked anxiously. Apparently, Sally’s words piqued his curiosity.
“I’m also just speculating because things like this don’t usually happen. I think your wife may have taken abortion pills. But we still need to do a detailed test to find out the exact situation.”
“Abortion pills? My wife wanted the child so badly; why would she take abortion pills?” Carson would never believe what Sally just told him.
Looking at Lillian with a meaningful look, Sally said, “I didn’t say she took the pills knowingly. She may have taken it by mistake, or eaten something that caused the miscarriage. Everything is possible!”
The moment Sally said that, the expression on Carson’s face changed and he lost his voice.
I wasn’t sure what he’d bonded with. Maybe he remembered what I told him tonight about the bottle being opened, or maybe he thought of something else. But it didn’t matter what he remembered. The most important thing now was for me to slowly unfold the evidence right in front of his eyes.
After Sally had said everything she was told, she ordered the nurses to send me to the ward. Carson followed in despair; even my father-in-law sighed repeatedly. “What should we do now?”
Even though my eyes were closed, I could feel the real disappointment and sadness they were feeling right now. I couldn’t help but find the situation odd. Carson shouldn’t be so angry, right?
