Chapter 351: Chapter 351



“What?” Dolores suddenly tensed. They had just seen each other a short time ago, why could she suddenly be hospitalized?

“What happened?” Dolores asked nervously.

“I have no idea too. She’s at People’s Hospital No. 2 right now.”

Matthew leaned toward her and casually placed his palms on her thighs. Dolores was wearing a black base sweater, jeans, also wearing a khaki windbreaker to go with it. His warm palms caressed her thighs ambiguously, “Don’t worry.”

Dolores looked down at her hand, “She’s pregnant. It’s not good news that she’s hospitalized.”

He suddenly grabbed her thighs. Dolores frowned and said word for word, “I’m driving.”

Matthew looked at her seriously and said, “I want another daughter.”

Dolores pursed her lips. She and Matthew had not taken any safety precautions, but she did not become pregnant.

When she gave birth to Samuel and Simona, the doctor told her that she had damaged her body, so it would be difficult for her to conceive again.

At the time, she thought she already had them both, so it didn’t matter that she couldn’t conceive. But now…

“When you have time, you should go change their last names,” Dolores said earnestly.

If she was going to be together with Matthew and couldn’t have children in the future, one of her two children had to bear at least the surname Nelson. Otherwise, Matthew would have no children bearing his last name.

Matthew lightened his grip on her thigh slightly and gently stroked her instead. He remembered Dolores telling him that she could no longer conceive, but he thought she had said it casually.

It seemed to be true. They hadn’t taken any safety precautions since they had been together. But so far she hadn’t been able to get pregnant.

In fact, when they first slept together, she had gotten pregnant and given birth to Samuel and Simona, which meant she was extremely fertile. This time, however, they had been kissing for more than two months.

“I don’t want to get pregnant again.” Dolores was very afraid of that painful feeling. Until now it was still haunting her memories.

Every time she thought about it, she could feel the lingering fears in her heart.

If her body was fine and her relationship with Matthew was stable, she didn’t mind enduring the pain of pregnancy one more time.

However, even if she had wanted to, it would be impossible. Therefore, she could be honest and tell him plainly, in case he was still clinging to some fantasy or hope.

Without fantasy or hope, there would naturally be no disappointment.

The car was parked in front of the hospital. The two of them, sympathetically, did not pursue the subject for now, and the mood was a little subtle.

Matthew got out of the car in silence. When Dolores approached him, as if to break the subtlety, she deliberately asked, “Did Armand call you?” Matthew only answered her with a faint hum.

Dolores thought to herself, ‘Did Armand find out that Theresa was pregnant? Did the two of them argue and that’s why Theresa was hospitalized?’

Reasonably speaking, if Armand knew Theresa was pregnant, he definitely wouldn’t argue with Theresa.

She was worried about Theresa and walked hurriedly. Matthew put his arms around her shoulder but said nothing.

Dolores’ volatile emotions slowly calmed down. Following Matthew’s footsteps, they arrived in front of the operating room.

Armand was sitting in the corridor and his clothes were still wet. However, as he had been in the hospital for quite some time, some parts of his clothes were already half dry from the air conditioning.

He paced anxiously, back and forth, in front of the operating room door. At the sight of Dolores and Matthew, he stopped moving.

“Dolores…”

“What happened, why did they hospitalize Theresa?” asked Dolores.

Armand chided himself, “It was all my fault.

If it weren’t for him and Phoebe, he wouldn’t have gotten into this trouble, and no….

“I want to know everything!” said Dolores in a stern tone.

“Phoebe kidnapped her, and she was injured in the explosion…” Armand gave a brief explanation of what happened. Dolores was stunned and couldn’t believe what she had just heard. explosion?

Her legs went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Matthew was at her side and held her up in time.

Dolores’ voice was trembling, “Armand, did you know she was pregnant?”

Boom!

Armand felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Theresa was pregnant?

Then, the blood in her body?

He felt as if a piece of his heart had broken off and the blood gushed non-stop.

Painful. So painful.

“Didn’t you know? Dolores approached him slowly.

Armand spoke hoarsely, “No… I didn’t know…”

Slap!

Dolores became very angry and slapped him hard in the face, “Theresa was reluctant to hit you. I’m going to punish you for her today.

I thought you always knew what to do and could take care of her, but I didn’t expect you to be so indecisive.”

If Armand had been more attentive from the beginning, this incident would not have happened.

Armand could not refute. He could only slap himself: “It was all my fault. It was all my fault.”

He felt distressed, remorseful and regretful. And all these emotions turned into heart-rending pain. He still thought of him in his last moment and pushed him into the water. But what about him?

What had he done?

She should have known. That time in the hospital, I should have thought about it!

“Damn it. I’m doomed.” Armand collapsed on the floor with a face full of tears, he looked like a beggar in the street.

He clutched his head in despair.

Dolores stepped aside and did not stop him or dissuade him. It had all happened because of him, and no one else was to blame.

After at least two hours, the operating room door finally opened. Armand heard it and quickly got up and rushed forward. He grabbed the doctor, who had not yet removed his surgical mask, and asked, “How is he?”

Matthew rested his hand heavily on Armand’s shoulder and said, “Calm down first-how’s he going to talk if you grab him like that?”

Armand knew, but he couldn’t control himself. He was afraid, afraid that something had happened to Theresa.

Dolores came over and apologized to the doctor, “I’m so sorry. He’s just too agitated…”

“Cough…” The doctor swung his hands and took a breath. Then he just said, “Don’t worry. It’s all right. I’ve seen many anxious family members before.”

Dolores clasped her hands, “Is she okay? And your baby…” Armand turned away and his body wouldn’t stop shaking.

The doctor let out a sigh and felt sorry, “She had already lost her child before she was brought here. Her injuries were quite severe, especially the burn on the right side of her face. It’s impossible for him to recover. However, you don’t have to worry about that, because plastic surgeries nowadays are quite advanced. Don’t be too sad and be glad that she is still alive.”

Dolores’ eyes were sour, were Theresa’s injuries that bad?

“Can I see her now?” Dolores spoke in a hoarse voice.

The doctor shook his head and said, “We’ve taken her to the Intensive Care Unit. Although the operation was successful and she is out of danger, her injuries are too severe. Therefore, in case of an unexpected incident or any postoperative infection, you should visit her after twenty-four hours. By then, we will send her to the normal ward.”

“If I can’t come in, can I see her from outside? Armand’s eyes were bloodshot.

The doctor looked at him. He could feel the pain he was enduring at that moment, so he nodded, “You can take a look from outside.”

After Theresa was sent to the Intensive Care Unit and settled, the nurse took them to see her.

“Only two people are allowed.” Said the nurse.

Matthew wasn’t planning on coming in anyway. He was only here for Dolores, as he feared she might feel heartbroken.

Dolores knew of his concerns. He shook his head and told her, “I’m still fine.”

Then, Armand and Dolores entered the Intensive Care Unit.
