Chapter 63
D
When I woke up again, I was rescued. Herman sat by the bed with bloodshot eyes, holding my hand tightly.
Seeing me wake up, Herman was ecstatic. “Vera, you woke up? That’s great, I hope you are fine! I hope they are fine!“}
I shook off his hand and asked coldly, “Where’s the child?“>
A trace of grief flashed across Herman’s face. “The child… The child is fine! She’s in the nursery, waiting for you to get well and go see her! She’s a little princess! As beautiful as you!“}
I sneered and looked into Herman’s eyes. “Herman, I’ll ask you again, where’s the child?“}
Herman sighed. “Wife, I don’t care what the child is like now, I only care about you! You must get better, we can have another child if we lose it! But what should I do if I lose you?“}
My heart was dead silent, I felt empty in my stomach and my heart was empty too.”
My child was dead. I heard Chloe say it with my own ears before I fainted. My child was dead.}
Herman held me carefully in his arms and coaxed me, “Vera, it’s all my fault. You can hit me or scold me as much as you want. I just ask you to get well soon. Let’s have another baby next year, okay?“}
I looked at Herman in silence, the man I had loved for seven years.>
“Herman, let’s get a divorce.“}
“What?” Herman looked at me in disbelief. “Wife, I know you feel bad that the child is gone, but this is really an accident. The doctor also said that the chance of our child’s umbilical cord wrapping around the neck is small. Just pretend that you have never had this child. Let’s start over, okay?“}
He held my hand and slapped himself in the face over and over again. “Wife, you can hit me if you hate me, but don’t divorce me, okay?“} My heart was numb.
What an accident.
The surveillance in the operating room was turned off by Chloe and all the inhuman treatment I received in it was buried like this and no one knew about it.”
After several hours of cesarean section without anesthesia, the ripped belly and the suffocated child, Herman only said “accident“.
At this moment, I just felt ridiculous and pathetic. I couldn’t even begin to describe the hurt I had received. I was ridiculous that I had foolishly loved such an unworthy man for seven years, loved him so much that I was willing to give up my career to be a full–time housewife by his side. I was so afraid of pain, but was willing to get pregnant for him and I hadn’t slept well for ten months. Now, let this absurdity ended.}
“Herman, I’m tired. The City Hall hasn’t closed yet. Let’s go through the divorce procedures. Don’t make me say it for the third time.“> “I don’t agree!“}
Herman suddenly stood up. “I don’t agree! Vera, we’ve been together for seven years! You want to divorce me because of an accident with a child? I can’t accept it!”
The door suddenly opened and Chloe rushed in with disheveled hair.
“Herman, Vera, please don’t quarrel because of me! It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on taking on this operation for your sake, maybe the child would have had a chance to survive! It’s all my fault! If you want to hit or scold me, just come at me! Don’t let me hurt your feelings!“%
Chloe wiped her tears, bent her legs and knelt in front of me. “Vera, scold me! Don’t scold Herman! Herman treated you like this because he wanted to help me. He was kind and didn’t mean it!”
I looked at Chloe, who broke in and talked to herself and my blood boiled. I raised my hand and slapped her.
“Chloe, I will kill you and bury my child with you!“}
Chloe didn’t dodge at all. A blood mark scratched by my nails appeared on her face instantly.
She wiped her face, smiled miserably and began to slap herself crazily with both hands.
“As long as you can calm down, I am willing to disfigure myself! Don’t worry, I will beat myself until you are satisfied before stopping! I will also resign from the hospital and give you an explanation!”
Herman stood between us, with a particularly tangled expression on his face.”
“Chloe, Vera’s child had an accident this time and it is right for her to blame you, but you can’t just give up on yourself! Isn’t studying medicine your dream since childhood? Which doctor has never failed an operation in his life? Do you want to ruin your career because of an accident?“%
Chloe slapped her wound hard again, her eyes firm. “Doctor Blanton said that Vera’s operation had special circumstances and I was too proud and complacent, so I took on this almost impossible operation. I admit that the child was not saved. I admit that my medical skills are not good and I will resign and stop practicing.”
The family members of the patients who came to watch the chaos in the corridor began to whisper and some even picked up their phones to record, saying that this was a medical dispute.
