When Cecelia arrived at the military hospital, the sky was completely dark, and the infinite darkness was overwhelming.
She parked her car and darted into the hospital.
It took more than 20 years to find her own daughter, but she was not around when she needed her the most, and she was incredibly remorseful.
As soon as Cecelia entered the hospital, the director himself came out to greet her.
"Ms. Hurley, both your daughter and the fetus are fine. Your daughter has woken up and is currently resting in the VIP room." In military style, he got to the point so that Cecelia would not worry too much.
"Good, thank you." Cecelia breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily Charlotte was okay. Otherwise she would never forgive herself.
"There were only minor bruises. We did an abdominal ultrasound and the fetus was fine. It is possible that the placenta is unstable and that is why she fainted from the great pain. Just in case, your daughter should stay in the hospital for two days for observation." The hospital director said. In fact, Charlotte did not have a problem, and could totally be discharged now. However, the two-day stay appeared to be more important to the military hospital and it made the whole thing serious enough for those above.
"Thank you." Cecelia said politely back.
"Also, the owner of the car that knocked down your daughter at that time, also came along with the ambulance. Originally I was going to call the police to deal with it. But when your daughter woke up, she insisted that she was not seriously hurt, that she was too anxious when she was walking before the scuffle happened, and that it was not the car owner's responsibility. So she let the car owner go straight away." The dean felt the need to tell Cecelia. He had no right to interfere with her decision and it was just alright for Charlotte and the owner of the car involved in the accident to reach a settlement.
"Well, Charlotte has always been generous, so it's to be expected that she won't take it seriously. The owner must have been pretty shaken up too, so let her be." Cecelia nodded gently, "Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt much."
