“Change your clothes, Jason!” Kimberly ran in with the newly bought clothes and grabbed Jason. “Your body can’t take it if you keep being like this. Take a shower and change your clothes first. I’ll leave Snowball for you to handle while I go to the hospital with Alastor.”
Anastasia was pushed into the emergency room by a doctor at the Hork General Hospital. Her vision was blurred as she looked at the light above her head.
“Are you her husband? Please sign here. This child can’t be saved. Otherwise, the patient will bleed heavily. If she is in critical condition, we may need to remove her uterus.”
A nurse asked Alastor to sign a consent form outside the emergency room.
Alastor’s face turned pale, and there was a tremor in his voice. “Please save… the mother.”
“No! My grandson can’t be aborted. You must save the baby! You have to save him!” Naomi followed from behind and rushed to stop Alastor anxiously.
“You can’t sign this. The baby must be saved!” cried Naomi madly as she tried to snatch the pen from Alastor’s hand.
From Naomi’s point of view, Anastasia’s life wasn’t important at all. She already had such thoughts when the baby was still in the early stages of pregnancy and hadn’t taken shape yet. If anything, she would have insisted on ensuring that the doctors saved the baby regardless of whether or not Anastasia survived.
The nurse urged Alastor, “Please decide as soon as possible. The patient is still waiting for surgery.”
Alastor’s hand, which was holding the pen, did not move for a long time.
He had also chosen to put his faith in luck before the child’s paternity test results came out. He wondered if he could use the child to keep Anastasia by his side if the child was indeed his.
But would it mean the complete end of his relationship with Anastasia if this child was gone?
Alastor hesitated when he thought of Anastasia’s determined look when she asked for a divorce.
“Can’t this child be saved?” asked Alastor in a low voice.
The nurse looked at Alastor in surprise. “The patient is physically poor and in an unstable condition. Saving the baby will incur a great risk, and the severe bleeding can be life-threatening.”
“We don’t care. We must keep the baby!” shouted Naomi like a shrewish woman.
In the emergency room, Anastasia leaned against the operating table with emptiness and despair in her eyes.
“Ms. Lawson…” The doctor found himself in a difficult position.
“Just do as I say,” said Anastasia in a hoarse voice.
She had given up all her hope for Alastor.
Alastor was going to insist on saving the child just because it was his, regardless of whether Anastasia lived or died.
“But your body can’t bear it at all if you choose to keep the baby.” The doctor sighed. If she continued this way, the pregnancy was going to weaken her so badly that there was going to be nothing left of her.
He feared Anastasia was not going to make it till the postpartum treatment plan after giving birth.
“It doesn’t matter.” Anastasia wiped away the tears from her reddened eyes. She then asked in a low voice, “Mr. Quinn has contacted you, hasn’t he?”
The doctor nodded. “But if an accident happens, we will not be responsible for it. You need to sign a disclaimer personally.” Anastasia nodded and signed an agreement.
She wanted to keep the baby, not because it was Alastor’s, but because it was her own.
However, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Alastor anymore.
The doctor came out from the emergency room.
“The patient has personally signed the abortion agreement. We shall follow her will.” The doctor paused before he continued in a deep voice, “Please maintain silence inside the hospital.”
“What?” Naomi’s face darkened when she heard that Anastasia was about to have an abortion. She rushed forward, wanting to stop the doctor. “She has no right to terminate the pregnancy! Who does she think she is? I disagree with her aborting a child of the Lopez family!” raged Naomi.
“Enough! Haven’t you said enough already? Would Anastasia have been so agitated that it affected her pregnancy if you hadn’t sent someone to get rid of Snowball?” snapped Alastor in a hoarse voice.
“To think that Anastasia has given up on this pregnancy so willingly… I guess our relationship is over for good,” thought Alastor.
“Alastor, why are you so stupid? She is plotting against you. Can’t you tell that she is intentionally terminating the pregnancy? She’s doing this on purpose to take revenge on us!” Naomi sat on the ground crying.
Alastor stood quietly aside and didn’t say anything.
When Anastasia was transferred out of the operating room, her face and lips were a deathly white.
She lay there numbly and didn’t say anything.
“You malicious woman! You aborted the Lopez family’s child for such a beast.” Naomi was still crying on the ground.
Felicia was still persuading Naomi gently. “Mrs. Lopez, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to get angry at a malicious person who would use her child to get back at someone. Besides, I’m still carrying a descendant of the Lopez family in me.”
Anastasia lay on the bed. She could feel the scalding tears roll down as she closed her eyes numbly.
She clenched her fists tightly, although she knew that Felicia was aggravating her on purpose.
How could she not be angry?
She had lost her child, while the baby in Felicia was the only child of the Lopez family.
“Are you all satisfied?” Anastasia opened her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice. “Now that this has been done, you to worry about the will anymore, Alastor.”
Alastor opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He remained silent for a long time.
“You vicious woman, how can you do that?” Naomi got up crying, wanting to argue with Anastasia.
“She might be dead if she didn’t terminate the pregnancy!” Kimberly stood beside Anastasia and stopped Naomi.
“Piss off, you vicious woman! No parent will hurt their own child!”
