"As you can see, both of us are pregnant. We'll be huffing and puffing after a few steps. How would we have the energy to go to places with you? Come on, just go somewhere and kill time by yourself. I gotta go, I have things to do. I'll call you tomorrow."
It was not that I did not want to go have fun with him, but my body could not take strenuous activities. Besides, it was almost time for the yoga class that Theo had signed me up for.
I left the coffee shop and went straight to the yoga class.
Even though the classes catered for expecting mothers were relatively relaxed and within my capabilities, I was sore all over before the 20-minute session was up as it was my first time, after all. I proceeded to sit behind the class and cut myself some slack. I was really unfit for exercise.
"Ms. Lane, your phone has been ringing," the employee there walked up to me and said
I just remembered that I left my phone charging at the front desk. I walked over and found that it was Theo calling me.
"Are you at the yoga class? Something happened to
Mason and Cecilia. I'll come to get you." Theo's anxious voice sounded on the phone.
Something had happened. My mind was blank and the phone in my hand fell to the floor.
"Are you there, Wanda? Don't worry, they've been sent t o the hospital and they should be okay.” Theo was worried since he did not hear a reply from me in a while.
They were fine just now! What happened to them? I had no time to ask any more questions. I picked up m y phone and asked Theo to hurry. I then quickly went t o change out of my yoga clothes.
I did not care about being sweaty, I did not even bother showering. I changed into clean clothes and rushed out of the yoga center.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, Theo's car arrived. I got into the car and asked frantically, "What i n the world happened?!"
"I'm not too sure of the details either, but I know that they got into this accident together. They’re now in the emergency department of the People's Hospital."
Emergency department?!
That term drained all the energy out of me and I nearly passed out. Theo patted me gently on the shoulder without saying much. He stomped on the accelerator and headed toward the hospital.
We rushed all the way there, and when we got to the hospital, I jogged anxiously to the operating room in the emergency department. I lost my balance and nearly fell down in front of the operating room door because I was moving too quickly.
