I was struggling to suppress my fear before this. Colin's appearance madefeel like I had found my support. My emotions finally found an outlet, so I couldn't control myself anymore.
Colin becworried when he sawcrying incessantly through the video call without saying a word. He repeatedly askedwhat happened and why I was at the hospital. He toldnot to rush and take my tto explain to him.
I wanted to tell him everything, but I was trembling all over. It felt like my mouth was being controlled. I couldn't say a word except to cry. "Darling, you have to stop crying and tellwhat happened, okay? Be good. Your tears are makinganxious." I still couldn't speak no matter how I tried. Finally, Andrew took my phone and told Colin that I was fine, but Queenie had lost a lot of blood and was now in the emergency room.
Knowing my relationship with Queenie, Colin was also extremely anxious when he heard about her situation. He repeatedly askedto calm down and listen to him.
I didn't know how long I cried, but Colin stayed on the phone withand continued to speak tosoftly.

"Lulu, can you hear me?" I nodded, indicating that I was listening.
Colin breathed a sigh of relief and gently remindedto stay calm. He said that Queenie might have had a miscarriage and that I shouldn't worry to much. The doctors would take care of her.
After talking with him for a while, I finally calmed down completely and could think rationally about the situation. "Why did you suddenly call me? Did Flynn contact you?" Colin's calls were very consistent. Normally at this time, I would be painting in the studio, so he wouldn't disturb me.
He hesitated before tellingthat Flynn had called him and asked if something had happened.
I understood. Just as I suspected, he called Colin after I hung up all his calls. He was clever to have guessed that something must have happened forto curse him like that.
He was already getting engaged to someone else. Why did he still want to ask questions? He was really disgusting.
His concern was meaningless! I begged Colin not to tell Flynn about what had happened as it was Queenie's matter and we didn't have the right to make decisions for her.
He hesitated for a long tbefore finally agreeing to my repeated pleas.
I didn't know what he told Flynn, but he didn't callagain.
The wait outside the emergency room was the longest and most torturous.
Andrew and I waited for two hours before the emergency sign finally dimmed.

Andrew stood by the window, his hand tightly gripping the window frame. It seemed that he was trying hard to restrain his anger. But he would glance at Queenie occasionally with eyes filled with compassion and pain.
