Chapter 66
My eyes were still tightly shut when I finished speaking I did not dare to look a I Theo’s reaction
***Don’t worry, we will iry our best. Let’s get you to the emergency room right away and inform the OB/GYN about this.” I was quickly pushed into the emergency operating theatre
Right before I was wheeled in, I caught a Elimpse of the pain on Theo’s face. His hands were balled up into fisis and he was punching the wall repeatedly.
My heart hurt so much I could barely breathe. It was all my fault. It was all because of my stubborness and my rashness which it came to making decisions. If the baby was gone, just like this, I would be the greatest sinner of all time. I would never be able to forgive mysell.
When I woke up again, whiteness greeted me. I was laying in a thospital bed, and
Theo was staring at me intently. I had
never seen him look so tired and roughed up before. The memories of what had happened came rushing back into my mind.
“My baby.” I jumped up from the bed and reached out to my belly.
“Lie still.” Theo’s voice was grave, his tone demandingly cold. Aside from his slightly messy hair, his face was emotionless.
I was deathly afraid and laid back down. After a long pause, I timidly asked again,
Is my baby okay?”
I no longer felt pain in my abdomen, so I was not sure if my baby was still in my belly
He lifted his eyes to glare at me. His face was gloomy and dark. My heart was in 11 y throat as I anxiously waited for him to answer me.
“Wanda Lane, who gave you the courage i o do what you did? Did you really think you could bear the consequences of your decision?’ He did not answer my question, only reprimanding me sternly.
Grievance instantly flooded my heart. I tried hard not to bawl as I retorted, “You think I want things to be this way? I didn’t know what to do! Cindy threatened me with her life, and if I didn’t abort the child, do you think she would allow me to live in peace? I really couldn’t bring myself to do it, so…”
Towards the end of my rant, 1 lowered m y head
“Don’t worry, since you were sent in just i n time, the baby’s doing fine. However, tsk tsk, young people like you! You know it’s not recommended to have intercourse during the first three months. It’s just common sense! Why can’t you guys just hold it in? Especially you, a respectable gentleman, can’t you have at least a little self-control”
This was coming from an older doctor, and his voice was loud and clear, no subtlety at all within his words. The nurses around us were snickering
I coughed awkwardly while Theo glared a t me with a distorted expression on his face. He nodded and walked out.
That was probably his first-ever time being reprimanded. He was probably feeling ashamed since no one had scolded him to his face like that before
After giving me a few pointers on what I
Oer giving me a few pointers on what I should take note of the doctors left, leaving a nurse behind to change my dressings.
Your husband must love you very much. When you were in the emergency theatre, he was pacing around all alone like a helpless kid that could only wait by the sidelines. He refused to leave.”
Was she referring to the same Theo I knew? The Theo that was always aloof and constantly had his ‘high and mighty facade up? I was in slight disbelief.
