Chapter 205 We Are Already Together
"I'll marry Susan right now if she's willing, and I'll raise her baby as my own!" George said firmly.
"You two are together?" Seb turned, eyes locking onto Susan.
His cold stare met Susan's, filled with doubt and disappointment. Her heart tightened.
Susan knew she had to decide: if she let Seb keep dragging her down, she'd never find peace.
After a moment, Susan walked over to Seb.
"My child needs a father, a normal family," she said, looking up at him.
Seb lost it. He grabbed George, ready to punch him, but ended up slamming his fist into the wall instead.
The wall shook with a muffled thud.
Susan turned away, unable to watch.
George was stunned, staring at Susan.
Then Seb laughed. "I wish you both happiness forever!"
"Thanks," Susan replied loudly.
Seb glanced at them, then headed for the door. Just before stepping out, he paused. "But remember, the child in her belly can't handle your reckless actions. Think about her. That child carries my blood!"
With that, Seb left.
Susan's eyes drifted to the door. Seeing the blood on Seb's fist, her heart tightened again.
Even though Seb had been harsh and cold, seeing him hurt still made her heart ache.
Susan cursed herself for being pathetic. Why couldn't she forget Seb even now?
After the door slammed shut, the house fell silent.
Only George and Susan remained, probably hearing each other's heartbeats.
George walked up to Susan, guilt-ridden. "I'm sorry, Susan. Did I say something wrong?"
Susan quickly shook her head. "No, it was me. I wanted a clean break with him, so I let him misunderstand. Don't worry about it."
George scratched his head and smiled. "It's okay. Actually, I wish what you said was true."
Suddenly feeling dizzy, Susan held her head and started to collapse.
George caught her, shouting, "Susan, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
He carried her to the master bedroom, gently placing her on the bed, and called the doctor.
An hour later, in the quiet bedroom, Susan lay on the bed. George stood at the foot, tense. A doctor examined Susan, who was also nervous because she had bled again.
Susan felt guilty. She shouldn't have gotten angry with Seb. Her pregnancy was already unstable, and if anything happened to the baby, she'd regret it forever.
When the doctor took off his stethoscope, George asked urgently, "Doctor, how is she?"
Susan's eyes were glued to the doctor, waiting for his diagnosis.
The doctor adjusted his glasses. "The fetus shows signs of miscarriage."
Susan sat up in shock. "Doctor, please save my child!"
"Is there any way to save the baby?" George asked, frowning.
The doctor replied gravely, "The mother needs to stay calm and in bed for at least two weeks. I'll prescribe some medication and injections to stabilize the pregnancy. We'll see if it works, but I can't guarantee anything."
"Okay, doctor," George said quickly.
After seeing the doctor off, George returned to the bedroom.
Susan lay on the bed, eyes filled with fear and worry.
George sat by the bed, wanting to hold her hand but hesitated. "Don't worry too much. Doctors always make things sound serious. Just follow his orders, and everything will be fine."
Susan nodded, trying to believe it.
"Don't worry, I'll have Serenity cook and make soup for you. Just rest," George said, trying to comfort her.
Susan nodded, feeling guilty. "Mr. Anderson, I'm sorry to trouble you again. I have nowhere else to go."
Tears streamed down her face.
She had never felt so helpless. As a child, no matter how tough things were, she always pushed through.
Growing up, despite setbacks, being beaten, bullied, or almost raped, she never felt this lost and scared.
Now, the child in her belly was her life. She couldn't lose this child.
Besides George, there was no one else to take care of her. He had become her lifeline.
How did she end up like this? Susan felt deep sadness, as if nothing had gone right in years.
She prayed silently, 'Save my child, it's my only hope!'
Seeing her cry, George was at a loss. He handed her some tissues and said, "Just stay here and rest. This place is big and lonely with just me. I should thank you for bringing warmth to my home."
Susan managed a smile. "You always know how to cheer people up."
"Didn't you hear the doctor? You need to stay calm. I'll have Serenity stay with you every day. No more accidents," George said, standing up.
Susan didn't refuse. She touched her belly and thought, 'I'll accept all of George's help. I can't afford any more accidents now.'
