Chapter 121

My heart felt like it had been torn open.

Tears wouldn’t come anymore, and in a frail voice, I said, “I have no husband, no family… Please, you must save my child.”

“Well..” The nurse glanced between my legs, her expression troubled, but finally, she simply said, “We’ll do everything we can.”

Hearing these words from the medical staff, I let out a small sigh of relief.

However, as soon as I was hoisted onto the operating table and after the doctor asked about my condition, he immediately said, “Call the anesthetist, be ready for a D&C.”

I stared at the blinding operating lights, my eyes both dry and pained.

My ankle-length dress was lifted by the doctor, and though it seemed he asked me something, my mind was buzzing, leaving me with no other choice.

A slight sting on the back of my hand, and then I lost all consciousness, plunging into darkness.

“Mommy. Mommy. I’m leaving, Mommy, you don’t want me anymore…”

Watching a tiny figure drift further away from me, I cried out, “No! Don’t leave me, baby!”

When I opened my eyes, all I saw were the stark white walls.

The room was so quiet, only the sound of the IV drip remained. Christine, sitting by my side, suddenly stood up, concern in her voice, “How are you feeling?”

“Chris, my baby, where is my baby?”

“…I’m so sorry…” Christine’s eyes instantly filled with tears.

“I…” I touched my belly, feeling utterly numb, “My baby… I dreamt he said I didn’t want him…”

“Jane…” Christine’s eyes teared up and she turned away to wipe them before reassuring me, “It’s not on you, it’s not your fault. The baby must have known how much you loved him.”

“But, I still couldn’t protect him.”

It’s all my fault.

My heart felt like an empty shell, with the chill seeping in, turning my blood ice cold.

Christine shook her head insistently, “This isn’t on you, silly, why would you think that? If it hurts too much, just cry it out, okay?”

Chapter 121

“Bry, I want a cheesecake!” From outside the door, a feeble voice called out fo

Bryant’s cool response, “The doctor said you can’t have anything for now.”

“Well, okay. Can you carry me back to my room, please?”

“…Margaret, when will you ever grow up?”

Christine instantly got heated, turning around like a firecracker, but I held her back.

I looked at her numbly, “Chris, I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

She spoke with empathy, “The doctor said you just had… surgery, and you’re also injured, It’s best to stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days.”

“I want to leave now.”

I got up, seemingly immune to the nearly fatal pain in my abdomen, and under Christine’s shocked gaze, I pulled out the IV needle and got off the bed to leave.

“Jane…”

Christine hurriedly grabbed a bag of medicine from the bedside table and followed me. “Okay, we’ll do as you wish.”

Besides the pain in my stomach, several other places on my body throbbed with pain, but with Christine’s support, I managed to walk, albeit slowly.

Unfortunately, we had to pass by Margaret’s room to get to the elevator.

“Jane?”

Margaret caught sight of me, suddenly calling out, then nudged Bryant, “I think I saw Jane,

if can you check if it’s her?”

Instantly, Bryant’s eyes shot my way and he started striding towards me.

Christine found her moment to explode, “Bryant, do you even care about your wife…”

“Why didn’t you stop her?” Bryant stood in front of me, his face terrifyingly cold, cutting Christine off sharply, his words stabbing me in the heart.

“Jane, you’re always so smart and rational, how could you coldly watch her be so reckless? Didn’t you know she was pregnant?”
