Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 17

Looking back now, I wanted to slap myself.

I was in no mood to listen to her anymore, but she kept on

taunting me. “Do you know what Lyle said to me about you?”

No, I don’t want to know.

But she continued, “He said that you’re an old hag. Although he

married you, you’re just an unpaid housekeeper to him.”

I became annoyed after hearing that hurtful remark. So, I picked

up my phone and looked at her. “Why don’t we call Lyle now and

see what he has to say about it?”

Instantly, she panicked and pretended to be calm. “Don’t be so

smug. I’ll kick you out sooner or later.”

Great. That would save me the legal fees.

I walked over to the door and opened it. Then, I gave her a look

that said, “It’s time for you to leave now”.

Only then did she pick up her bag in frustration and rattle toward

me in her high heels.

Just when I thought she was about to walk out the door, she

suddenly stopped in her tracks. And when I least expected it, she

stretched out her hand and shoved my shoulder.

I was caught off guard and stumbled backward before landing on

my hip.

“Yvonne!” Lyle called out when he came back and saw the scene

before him.

However, it was too late. There was a sharp pain in my stomach.

Before Lyle could rush over to break my fall, I had crashed to the

ground.

All of a sudden, I felt a sharp and intense pain in my abdomen. I

had a dreadful feeling that I was about to miscarry.

Tossing his bag aside, Lyle rushed toward me. He crouched next

to me and tried to help me into a sitting position. “Are you

alright, Yvonne? Are you hurt?”

He didn’t even know that I was pregnant, and all he cared about

was whether I hurt myself from the fall.

Before I could ask him to take me to the hospital, I was

interrupted by Bianca, who was fuming away.

She pointed a finger right at me and said connivingly, “Quit the

act. Wasn’t it only a fall? It can’t be that serious as to cause

to the hospital quickly, but I couldn’t move without any help.

This was my first child, and I couldn’t bear to lose this baby.

In my state of panic and fear, Christopher popped into my mind,

and I quickly took out my phone to call him.

Suddenly, Lyle got anxious as though he saw something

disturbing. He shoved Bianca out of his way and rushed over to

my side. Very quickly, he held me tightly in his arms, and his

eyes were transfixed on my lower body.

I followed his gaze and saw that a pool of blood had gathered

between my legs. The sight of it caused me to choke back a sob.

Distressed, Lyle quickly picked me up and ran out of the door. As

he did, he tried his best to comfort me, “Dear, don’t be afraid. I’ll

take you to the hospital now. It’s going to be okay. It’ll be okay…”

He was trying to console me, but in fact, he was suffering a panic

attack himself.

Fortunately, the hospital was not far from home, and it was only

a ten-minute drive away. Even so, the car seat was soaked with

the blood pouring out of me.
