Her legs went limp and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily, Cormac was just beside her and held her in time.
Loredana’s voice was trembling, “Armand, did you know that she was pregnant?”
Boom!
Armand felt as if he was struck by lightning. Theresa was pregnant?
So, the blood on her body…
He felt as if a piece of his heart had fallen off, and blood was nonstop gushing out of it.
Pain. So painful.
“You didn’t know? Loredana approached him slowly. Armand spoke in a hoarse voice, “No… I didn’t know…”
Smack!
Loredana was so angry and slapped heavily on his face, “Theresa was reluctant to hit. Today, I’m going to punish you for her!”
“I thought you always knew what to do and that you can take care of her, but I didn’t expect you to be so indecisive.
If Armand had been more attentive from the beginning, this incident would not have happened.
Armand could not refute. He could only slap himself, “It’s all my fault. All my fault!”
He felt distressed, remorseful, and repentant. And all these emotions turned into a heart-aching pain. She was still thinking about her at her very last moment and pushed him into the water. But what about him?
What had he done?
He should have known. That time at the hospital, he should have thought of it!
“Damn it. I’m so damned.” Armand collapsed to the floor with his face full of tears, looking like a beggar on the streets.
He held his head despairingly.
Loredana stood aside and didn’t stop him or dissuade him. Everything happened all because of him, and no one else was to blame.
After at least two hours, the surgery room door finally opened. Armand heard it and quickly stood up and rushed forward. He grabbed the doctor, who hadn’t removed his surgical mask yet, and asked, “How is she?”
Cormac placed his hand heavily on Armand’s shoulder and said, “Calm down first. How is he going to speak if you grab him like this?”
Armand knew that, but he just couldn’t control himself. He was afraid, afraid that something might have happened to Theresa.
Loredana came over and apologized to the doctor, “I’m very sorry. He’s too agitated…”
“Cough–” The doctor swayed his hands and took a breather. Then, he only said, “Don’t worry. It’s okay. I’ve seen a lot of anxious family members before.”
Loredana clenched her hands together, “Is she okay? And her child…”
Armand stood aside, and his body wouldn’t stop trembling.
The doctor let out a sigh and felt pity, “She had already lost her child before she was sent here. Her injuries were quite severe, especially the burn on her right face. It would be impossible to recover. However, you don’t have to worry about that, because plastic surgeries nowadays are quite advance. Don’t be too sad, and you should be glad that she’s still alive.”
Loredana’s eyes were sour. Theresa’s injuries were that serious?
“Can I see her now?” Loredana spoke in a hoarse voice.
The doctor shook his head and said, “We have arranged her to the Intensive Care Unit. Even though the surgery was a success, and she is out of danger, but her injuries were too severe. Therefore, in case of an unexpected incident or any postoperative infection, you should visit her after twenty-four hours. By that time, we will be sending her to the normal ward.”
“If I can’t go in, can I look at her from the outside? Armand’s eyes were bloodshot.
The doctor looked at him. He could feel the pain he was enduring right now, so he nodded, “You can take a look outside of the door.”
After Theresa was sent to the Intensive Care Unit and settled down, the nurse then brought them over to see her.
“Only two people are allowed.” The nurse said.
Cormac didn’t plan to go in anyway. He was only here because of Loredana, as he was afraid that she might feel broken-hearted. Loredana knew about his worries. She shook her head, and said to him, “I’m still okay.”
Then, Armand and Loredana went into the Intensive Care Unit.000000
They couldn’t get inside the Intensive Care Unit and could only look through the glass window. Theresa was still unconscious, and her face was wrapped tight, leaving only her eyes.
A piece of hospital equipment was beeping beside her.
Armand leaned on the glass mirror miserably. He remained silent, and Loredana could see his constant twitching shoulders.
“I was very surprised. We have just met each other not long ago. She said she wanted to leave for good, find a quiet place and give birth to her child… Who knew something like this would happen?” Loredana spoke softly.
Armand pressed his hands against the glass window, then clenched into fists. He sobbed, “It’s all my fault…”
“What’s the point now that you know it’s your fault?” Loredana knew that she shouldn’t stimulate him, but she thought it would be better if she made it clear for him.
“If you remain like this, even if Theresa forgives you, I will not allow it. You need to think about what your mistakes are.” Loredana went out after she finished her sentence. She wouldn’t feel good if she continued to stay here.
The face was a mark of a person. Even if Theresa could go for plastic surgery, it wouldn’t be her original face anymore.
She used to be a person with a sunny disposition, happy and healthy. But since she got along with Armand, she was never happy anymore.
And now, she was even wounded to this extent.
Loredana felt sorry for Theresa.
Cormac came over and helped her remove the messy hair in front of her forehead, and hooked them behind her ears. “Come, Let’s go back.”
Loredana nodded. Now that Theresa was still unconscious, even if she stayed here, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Before she left, Loredana went to Theresa’s main doctor and asked, “When will she wake up?”
Loredana wanted to come before Theresa woke up. If she couldn’t accept her situation, Loredana hoped that she could be there so that she could console her. “She should wake up after twelve hours.” The doctor said.
Loredana thought to herself, after twelve hours, it should about 5 a.m. tomorrow morning. She thanked the doctor and left his office.
She went back home with Cormac. She skipped dinner and shut herself in the room. After a while, Cormac came in with a cup of pure milk.
She lay in bed in her sweater. Cormac came in and sat by the bed. In fact, he didn’t like it when she got worried because of other people’s matter. “Are you asleep?”
Loredana was not asleep, but she didn’t feel like talking. She already heard it earlier when Cormac pushed the door and came in.
“I know you are awake. Get up and drink this cup of hot milk.”
