The Woman From Hell

Chapter 120

Only then did Theo take out his phone in a hurry. His voice was quivering, "Someone fell down the stairs and she's pregnant. There’s a lot of blood. I need an ambulance, quick, now!”

After hanging up the phone, he stumbled back upstairs and came back down with some clothes and towels in his hand.

I looked at him very calmly. My vision was blurry.

However, I still saw his fear and helplessness. I did not pity him but found it amusing instead. If I had known this earlier, would I have bothered in the beginning?

He used the towel to wipe the blood under me, but it was pointless. It started flowing again right after every wipe.

All he could do was help me put some clothes on, carry me off the floor, and rush out the door.

I could obviously feel that his hands were trembling hard, but his pace was quick. He ran a long distance.

His breathing slowly became heavy, but he did not give up and continued running.

Sirens were finally heard from a distance away. The ambulance was here at last.

His body suddenly became weak and he almost lost his balance. Several doctors and nurses immediately put me on a stretcher. They carried out emergency first aid on the spot and only then were we ready to head to the hospital.

"You're the patient's family member, right? What are you doing there in a daze? Get in the vehicle, quick!" the doctor said to Theo who stood there motionless the whole time.

He wiped his face and got into the ambulance. He still looked gloomy and was silent, not uttering a word.

Was he crying?

I was like a bystander throughout the whole process, coldly watching as everything happened in front of m e without even feeling any pain or fear. My nerves were all numb. It did not matter if the child could survive, but the distance between Theo and I was undoubtedly getting bigger. There was no way to fix this now.

He was hugging his head the whole time in the ambulance, not looking at me.

"Don't worry, we've performed first aid on her. We'll do our best to save her and the child. It's pointless to worry now. You should have taken good care of her since she's a pregnant lady. How could you have let her fall?" The doctor consoled when he saw Theo getting nervous.

The words of comfort were... better left unsaid!

Theo's body trembled even more.

We reached the hospital in no time, and I was sent into the surgery room. I was awake the whole time until they gave me anesthetics. After that, I did not remember anything anymore.

By the time I woke up again, I was pushed out of the surgery room.

Theo had stood outside the door the whole time. When he saw the door open, he immediately came over to check on me. He looked miserably pale as he asked the doctor in a small voice, "Is she okay? Why does she look unwell?"

"Don’t worry, the mother and the child are fine. But the fall was not light. I'm afraid she'll have to spend some time in the hospital. It wasn't easy for Mrs.

Grant to be pregnant, Mr. Grant. She’s had one too many accidents happening to her. What is it with you young people? Do you think being pregnant is a joke?"

Only then did I realize that this was the same doctor who treated me when I came to the hospital for bleeding previously.

Theo did not say anything and only nodded slightly. H e looked a little tired. It had only been a few hours but he seemed to have aged.

After returning to the ward, I was tired and fell into a deep sleep as the anesthetics were still in my bloodstream.

I woke up the next day and it was almost noon.

The nurse was changing the IV bag when I heard quarreling from outside the door. I was puzzled and asked the nurse, "Who's quarreling outside?"

The nurse glanced at me and said timidly, "Miss Reed wants to come in but Mr. Grant isn't allowing her, so she’s crying outside."

From the looks of the nurse's eyes, I bet she had guessed the relationship between the three of us. After all, Theo and Cindy were famous in Salt City. It was difficult for the nurse to not know seeing as they came here so often. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I sighed and said, "Let them in, then!"

The nurse was taken aback. She immediately nodded and went out.

Soon, Theo walked in and looked at me with a concerned expression. He looked at me with worry and consideration in his eyes. Cindy followed behind him, her reddened eyes making her look like she had been crying for a long time.

I despised Cindy's tears. After all, this was one of her usual tricks.

Upon entering the ward, she looked at me with concern and asked, "Wanda, are you alright? I heard you fell. I was scared to death when I got the news."

She looked me straight in the eye and said she was concerned, but I could still see the traces of a smile in her gaze.

I sneered and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but I'm doing very well.”
