Chapter 12
The two sides were deadlocked like this, when suddenly Steffie bent over and clutched her stomach, crying out in pain, “Ah, it hurts!”
The next moment she loosened her grip, and her daughter in her arms was about to fall to the ground!
Steffie!”
Marcella’s expression changed immediately as she saw the white skirt under Steffie gradually turning red with blood!
“Hurry, hurry, someone come!”
After a period of chaos, the Bernard family hurriedly took the miscarried Steffie to the hospital.
Steffie had just been taken into the operating room when members of the Guenet family hurriedly arrived.
Steffie’s mother, Marley Guenet, came up and slapped her right away, the sound of the wind carrying the crisp sound echoing in the empty corridor.
“Hugo, this is how you took care of my daughter. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!”
With one slap, Hugo was knocked sideways, a few drops of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. But Hugo stood there like a soulless puppet, allowing Marley to point at his nose and curse him.
Marcella was heartbroken to see this scene, she quickly stepped forward and held Marley’s hand, saying kind words.
“Mother–in–law, all the mistakes were made by my son. Don’t worry, once

Steffie is out, I will make sure Hugo takes good care of her and nothing will happen to Steffie again.”
Marley didn’t believe it at all, she scoffed coldly.
“Look, your son has run away with someone else, how can I take care of him? My daughter has been suffering for so many years because of your son, she has given birth to one and is now expecting with another, asking for nothing in return. And yet, she is treated like this by your family. If you can’t take care of them properly, I will bring my daughter and granddaughter back to the Guenet family. We, the Guenet family, are not incapable of supporting them!”
Marcella panicked completely when she heard this, and she slapped Hugo on the back, saying, “What are you still standing there for? Apologize
now!”
Hugo still didn’t move, not even willing to give a glance.
Hugo did nothing, yet they blamed Hugo for all the mistakes.
Screams, cries for merey, and many other chaotic sounds all mixed together, forming an invisible hand that squeezed Hugo piece by piece, while the air gradually became thin.
Just as Hugo was about to run out of breath, a roar came from a distance.
“This is a hospital, please keep quiet, the patient is about to come out!”
The invisible hand instantly released Hugo, and the corridor fell silent once again.
Soon the door of the operating room was opened from inside, and several nurses and doctors slowly pushed a mobile bed out. On the bed, Steffie, wearing a ventilator, had her eyes tightly closed and her face was pale, devoid of any color.

Soon, the people gathered around Hugo split into two groups.

A group of people hurried over to Steffie’s mobile bed, bending down to support the bed rail while checking on her condition and helping the nurse transfer her to the ward.
On the other side, the doctors surrounded Steffie, asking in detail about
her condition.
The doctor’s voice came through the thick mask, sounding even more
muffled.
“The expecting woman had just finished her postpartum confinement and became expecting again. Her body was very weak, and she had to stay in bed for the first three months, avoiding any further stimulation. If she couldn’t keep this gravidity, it would be difficult for her to conceive in the future.”
Marcella’s heart also followed the doctor’s words up and down, and when the doctor’s last word fell, Marcella’s heart sank to the bottom of the
valley.
She didn’t care about the cold sweat seeping from her back, and hurriedly followed the doctor into the office.
“Doctor, what medicine should our daughter–in–law take?”
Marcella’s voice faded away with her disappearing figure around the corner, leaving Hugo alone in the empty hallway.
Hugo sat in the wheelchair, his eyes downcast, lost in thought. Soon, he lifted his head again and began to push the wheelchair, preparing to leave.
The next moment, the bodyguard left by Marcella forcibly stopped Hugo: “Mr. Bernard, you should go see Mrs. Bernard now.”
“Get lost.”

Hugo didn’t move, he just looked coldly at the person in front of him and made them leave.
The bodyguard was particularly diligent, and his words brooked no interference: “I’m sorry, Mr. Bernard, if you don’t go, then we’ll have to take you there ourselves.”
Hugo was quickly pushed to the front of Steffie’s ward. Just as the bodyguard was about to knock on the door, the voices of Steffie and Marley came from inside.
“Mom, your method of pretending to have a misbirth is really effective. Hugo was left behind again.”
It was Steffie’s voice, but with a thick calculation that Hugo had never heard before, every word feeling like an icy needle.
“Will Hugo finally stay because he feels sorry for the child if I occasionally let the child have accidents in the future?”
