Sally squatted down and coaxed gently, “Connor, Sharon, don't worry. Your mommy will be all right.”
“Really?” Sharon looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Sally nodded. “Of course.”
“But I saw that Mommy was bleeding a lot,” Sharon said while crying.
“I saw it too.” Connor nodded.
The three adults were shocked.
“Did Nat bleed?” Sally looked at Silas and saw the bloodstains on his clothes.
The three adults panicked.
“Gosh. There's so much blood on Mr. Campbell. Nat must be hemorrhaging. Will she and the baby be all right?” Lina
said worriedly.
Although she had never been pregnant, she knew that bleeding so much before the due date was unusual.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth Silas and Sally shook their heads and said nothing.
They did not have the confidence to say that Natalie was fine like they did to the two kids earlier, having known that
Natalie had bled so much.
The children's hearts sank seeing that the three adults had fallen silent.
Sharon started bawling, while Connor did not shed a tear as he bit his lip and stared at the emergency room.
“Mommy will be fine!” Connor tried to convince himself and also the rest.
The three adults stared at him.
Sensing their gazes, he turned to look at them and repeated himself, “Mommy will be fine!”
The three adults were dumbfounded for a while before they looked at each other and smiled.
“That's right, Connor. You're right. Your mommy will be fine.” Sally touched his head.
Taking out a piece of tissue, Lina wiped the tears off Sharon's face. “Yes, we have faith in your mommy. She'll be
fine.”
Silas nodded as well.
To be frank, they were a little embarrassed deep down that even a child had the confidence that Natalie would be
fine. As adults, they did not want to lose their faiths too.
Seeing that the adults were all on his side, Connor finally smiled.
At that moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and a nurse emerged. “Who are the family members of
the pregnant woman?”
“We're her friends.” Sally and Lina quickly went up to her.
The nurse frowned. “Her husband isn't here?”
She looked at Silas, who awkwardly shook his head. “I'm not her husband. I'm his assistant. He's currently in his
home country and can't come here. How's her condition now?”
“Due to a trauma, she has serious contractions that affected the fetus, so she has to deliver the baby prematurely,”
the nurse replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone was astonished.
“What? A premature delivery?” Sally shrieked.
Lina furrowed her brows. “If I remember correctly, Nat is only six months pregnant. Can she deliver the baby now?
Can the baby survive?”
That was the most important question.
Silas looked at the nurse. “Must she give birth now?”
“Yes. Her womb has now become unsuitable for the fetus. If it remains inside, it'll die. As for whether it will survive
after a premature delivery, it depends on its health. If it's healthy, it can survive by staying in the incubator until it
reaches full term,” the nurse explained.
“Nat's baby is healthy. The doctor said so last week during her prenatal checkup,” Sally said.
“So the baby has a high survival rate, right?” Lina breathed a sigh of relief.
Sally nodded. “That's right.”
“Looks like we have no other choice.” Lina sighed.
“But none of her family members is here to sign the papers,” the nurse pointed out.
“Here.” Silas immediately took the two kids to the nurse. “They're her children, so they should be able to sign the
papers.”
