Chapter 78
I also guessed that the person Jane was talking to on the phone was Tom, But Janeâs anger hadnât subsided.
âYeah, yeah, Jessica is pregnant! Charlotte is like the invincible Iron Man. Sheâs already miserable enough and you just had to make things worse.â
âWell, I hope Ryan doesnât regret it in the future.â
âHeâs relying on outsiders to prosper. When he regrets his decision in the future, itâll be wellâdeserved!â
âGet lost. Donât expect me to help him persuade Charlotte. If Charlotte divorces him, Iâll support her wholeheartedly, even if it makes my hair stand on end
I took a deep breath, leaning against the wall and sitting on the bay window, I messaged Nancy on WhatsApp.
Nancy replied almost instantly, âCharlotte, youâve heard about it⦠Yes, it was the day before yesterday. Mr. Frostâs father personally came and transferred Ms. Frost to the CEOâs office.â
âIâm sorry, I didnât know how to tell you. Are you and Mr Frost okay?â
I suppressed the bitterness in my heart. Before I could reply, Jane suddenly opened the door, pretending everything was normal, smiling. âCharlotte, what are you up to? Youâve been cooped up at home for two days. Want to go out for a walk?â
I quickly locked my phone screen. âNo need, I want to finish the MS competition drawings soon.â
âAlright.â
She flopped onto the bed, propping her head up with one hand, looking at me. âThen go ahead, I wonât disturb you.â
âOkay.â
I didnât want her to notice anything was wrong, so she wouldnât worry about it.
As I got up to fetch my drawing board, a sudden intense, dull pain surged in my lower abdomen. I reached down, feeling something warm flowing from below.
My face turned pale. Hastily, I rushed into the bathroom, and when I lowered my head and saw the smear of bright red on my underwear, I almost fell.
âCharlotte, whatâs wrong?â Jane also noticed something was off, standing at the bathroom door, asking
With a pale face, I opened the door and said somewhat distraughtly, âIâm bleedingâ¦
âIâll take you to the hospital!â

Jane made a quick decision, immediately supporting me. âDonât be afraid, weâre going to the hospital now. Walk slowly, donât rush.â
In the urgency of the moment, we could only go to the nearest hospital to her house, St. Heart Hospital.
As soon as we entered the emergency room, the doctor immediately issued an ultrasound examination form.

Lying on the examination bed, I had a feeling of helplessness, as if I couldnât grasp anything.
âSpread your legs a bit.â
âClasp your hands into fists and place them under your waist.â
Throughout the process, I obediently followed the doctorâs instructions like a puppet on a string, disregarding any sense of shame.
âMy baby⦠Please donât leave me. Youâre the only family I have left. Pleaseâ¦â I prayed inwardly.

Suddenly, I realized that it wasnât me giving life to the child in my womb, but his arrival that gave me hope
to live on.
And this hopeâ¦
Now it might be taken away.
When the doctor removed the ultrasound probe from my body, my heart raced. I struggled to find my voice for a long time before I managed to ask, âDoctor, is⦠is my baby still there?â
âItâs there, but the situation isnât particularly good. Take this report to the doctor to have a look.â
Upon hearing this, I felt a wave of relief, but my suspended heart couldnât let go Okay, okay.â
I pursed my dry lips.
Leaving the examination room, Jane immediately approached and asked about my condition.
As I prepared to find the doctor, the office was empty. The nurse said the doctors were busy rescuing a critically ill pregnant woman. We could only schedule another outpatient appointment.
Although St. Heart was a private hospital, it had topânotch experts, equipment, and services that public hospitals couldnât match
