"Dead?" She lay flat on the bed and felt dizzy with her face pale, cracked dry lips.
Then she struggled to say a few words in a hoarse voice, "What's dead?"
"Your childs are dead." A doctor answered.
"The car accident was very serious and caused you to lose a lot of blood.Your children were stillborn when we rescued them."
She was too shocked to speak.
"How could you, as a pregnant woman, drive at high speed during the storm last night? You drove into the railing of the driveway.You are not responsible for your own safety, as well as others..."
"You were nine months pregnant, and your baby died as a result of the car accident.When we took the baby out of your belly, they were pale and had stopped their heartbeat."
This doctor kept explaining to her, but she was so shocked by the death of her child that she could no longer think and just looked at him blankly.
"Two of your children are in the morgue.We did everything we could to save your children, but they are still dead"
She screamed and felt extremely miserable, "You lied to me! All of you are lying to me!"
"No.It is impossible..."
She kept muttering with pale lips and felt very frightened with her heart beating wildly.
[ The babies inside me kicked me.This is fetal movement.The doctor said they were more lively.]
[ Patrick, you're going to be a dad and you should learn how to change your child's nappy and make milk.]
[ Senior Mr.Hopkins postponed his eightieth birthday party to have a dinner party with his one-month-old grandson next month.Every one of the Hopkins family is looking forward to the celebration party because they haven't had a party in a long time.]
She kept recalling all the previous scenes and people's conversations and became miserable.
[ The children in your belly are dead.]
[ We did everything we could to save your children, but they are still dead.]
She almost collapsed with the pale face and shouted in a daze, "You lied to me! Where did you hide my children? Give them back to me."
"Give the children back to me..."
She struggled mildly and pulled out the infusion tube in her hand to such towards the doctors and nurses beside her.She screamed in despair and clamped her nails around someone's arm.
"Quickly calm her down." The doctor ordered.
"She's extremely unstable.Give her a lot of sleeping pills to calm her down.Otherwise, she will have a hard time accepting the fact and go crazy"
In the ward, the nurses kept busy under the incandescent light.
The doctors and nurses took four pieces of white sand cloth to tie her limbs to the iron frame of the hospital bed, and injected a tube of sleeping pills directly into her artery.She was pale and struggling and stared at them with wide eyes.
"Let go of me!" She said hoarsely in despair.
"Why did you lie to me...I changed their nicknames and prepared some clothes for them.I was ready to be a mother..." She said in a trembling voice when tears welled up in her eyes.
In the end, she slowly closed her eyes and her voice trailed off.She was tired and sleepy.She dimly heard voices.
"The traffic bureau just reported that the owner of the white Porsche that the pregnant woman drove in the car accident that night was not her.The original owner said that the car was stolen"
