Chapter 129: He Looked Guilty
Charles realized that in his happiness about becoming a father, he had forgotten that Sarah was still in the examination room and started blaming himself. "Damn it, I am so happy to know that we're going to be a parent that I forgot about her. How could I push Sarah away? Fuck!" He clenched his fist in frustration.
Seeing Charles's guilt, Daniel felt angry and resentful toward him. Why did Sarah love and marry this man? He grunted and was about to go back into the examination room.
But Charles grabbed his hand and asked in a worried tone. "Doctor Frank, how is Sarah now? Is she all right? Keep her safe, no matter what the cost. I'll do everything as long as she and the baby are all right.
Daniel looked at him and smirked. Now he had finally called him Doctor Frank rather than calling him by his first name. Reluctant, he answered. "Well, now you feel regret? Why couldn't you be nice to her before? Sarah married you, but you have made her so miserable!"
Although Charles was being called out by Daniel, he really realized that he was in the wrong and didn't retaliate. He just simply asked, "How is Sarah doing? I'll do whatever she asks me in the future as long as she is okay. Even if occasionally she makes mistakes, I'll let her have her way. All I want is for her and the baby to be okay!"
"Even if she occasionally makes mistakes? When did Sarah make a mistake? It is you who is always wrong! Why do you think Sarah made a mistake?" Daniel couldn't help shouting at Charles, suppressing his jealous feelings.
Sarah may be pregnant with Charles's child, but he still wanted to help Sarah against Charles. Sarah had suffered so much because of him, and Charles still insisted that she was in the wrong.
Emma couldn't tolerate seeing Daniel reproaching Charles, so she walked up to him and asked. "Doctor Frank, is Sarah feeling better? Don't you need to go in and check on her?"
Daniel looked at Emma and noticed her hostility. Forcing a smirk, he walked back into the room. The most important thing right now was Sarah's safety.
Charles lowered his head and stood outside the examination room, the closed-door separating him from the person he loved most. After Daniel had scolded him, he was left with mixed feelings. He realized that Daniel was right, that it was all his fault. He had not been kind enough to Sarah, always confronting her.
Now she was pregnant and hurt, how bad was she hurt? Would the pregnancy be difficult for her? If anything happened to her and their child because of the way he had pushed her at the staircase just now, he would blame himself forever.
Thinking about his actions, Charles slowly went to sit down on a bench in the waiting area. Covering his face in his hands, he sat there and waited.
Emma came up to him and called out quietly, "Brother..."
Charles had lost his feeling of excitement, only worries were left. With a sharp voice, he said. "I hope Sarah and the baby are safe, otherwise... I don't know how I could live with myself.!"
"Brother..." Emma was heartbroken to see him so sad but didn't know what to say to comfort him since she hated that pregnant woman with passion. The man she loved was worried sick over another woman, just the thought of it was so painful. Physically and emotionally, Emma didn't know what to do with herself.
A long time passed before the doctors came out of the room. The moment the door opened, Charles jumped up and walked toward them. "Doctor Frank, how is my wife?"
Though he was angry, Daniel was relieved for Sarah to see Charles so worried about her. Knowing that Sarah needed kindness around her, his anger towards Charles came down, and he said calmly. "She is okay for now, but her pregnancy is still very delicate. She needs to be admitted to the hospital for some time to stabilize her condition."
Charles was relieved to hear that Sarah was doing better but was still worried about her. He couldn't help but ask, "How about the baby?"
"We are unsure yet. After all, she's only in her second month of the pregnancy, miscarriage is still very easy at this stage, and you just pushed her!" Daniel stared at Charles and continued. "If I hadn't been there just now to save her, she may have lost her child."
Charles shook his head, feeling guilty. He shouldn't have pushed Sarah, how could he hurt her?
"With our specialist, she is well taken care of, and hopefully, nothing bad will happen. Sarah is otherwise healthy, but you can't make her upset again, she needs to stay in a good mood to preserve her pregnancy. Being sad also could affect the proper development of the child." Daniel continued.
Charles nodded, "I see."
"You can go and see her now!" Daniel finally added.
Charles pushed through the door and slowly walked into the room. Two nurses were still in the room, cleaning up everything and reorganizing the instruments the doctors had used, but Charles went straight to Sarah's bedside and looked at her, disregarding everyone around him.
Sarah was awake but looked pale and weak. He grabbed her hand and asked carefully. "Sarah, are you all right? How are you feeling now? Is the pregnancy affecting you?"
Sarah opened her eyes for a moment to look at him but didn't know what to say. He had been so fierce to her just now, but now he looked guilty. His behaviors towards her were so unstable that she couldn't bear them. Sarah closed her eyes and ignored him.
But Charles, holding her hand, suddenly leaned close to her mouth and kissed her, looking at her affectionately, "I am sorry, are you still mad at me? Sarah, I am sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have done that to you. I'm really sorry."
