Chapter 609 Mrs. Anderson
Feeling that she couldn't move at all, Susan was struck with panic!
Looking around, she saw that the walls were white, the furniture was white, everything was white. Susan immediately realized she was in a hospital.
She suddenly remembered that she had felt a sharp, excruciating pain in her stomach after work last night. The searing pain, the fall, the blurry image of George scooping her into his arms.
The next moment, Susan stretched out her still-numb hand and touched her stomach, but there was no sensation at all.
"My baby, my baby!" Susan cried out anxiously.
Susan had a premonition that something had happened to her baby!
George, who had stayed by Susan's side all night, was startled awake by her sudden cry.
Looking up, George saw Susan's pale face and terrified eyes. He immediately grabbed her hand.
"Susan, calm down!" George said, looking intently at her.
Susan looked at George and asked anxiously, "George, tell me the truth, how is my baby now?"
Hearing this, George hesitated, struggling to find the words.
"Is my baby gone?" Susan squinted her eyes and mustered the courage to ask.
"Susan, you have to promise me you'll stay calm before I can tell you the results," George said, clearly worried about her current state.
"I will stay calm, just tell me quickly!" Susan urgently grabbed George's hand.
With a heavy heart, George said, "You had an ectopic pregnancy. By the time you arrived at the hospital last night, you were already unconscious. The doctors decided to operate immediately. The surgery went well, and your life was saved, but... but the baby..."
"Ectopic pregnancy?" Susan was stunned upon hearing this.
An ectopic pregnancy meant the embryo didn't implant in the uterus. In such cases, the fetus couldn't survive, and it could even be life-threatening for the mother.
Susan never imagined she would have an ectopic pregnancy. She thought she would smoothly give birth to this child and raise it, especially since this was her third pregnancy.
But how could this happen? An ectopic pregnancy meant the baby had no chance of survival from the moment of conception.
"Yes, an ectopic pregnancy," George nodded.
At this moment, tears streamed down Susan's face. She shook her head, unable to believe it. "How could this happen? My baby..."
Seeing Susan like this, George's brow furrowed deeply.
He quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe Susan's tears and gently comforted her, "Susan, listen to me. You've just had surgery, and a miscarriage takes a toll on the body. You can't cry, you can't be sad. You need to focus on getting better. For Hayden, for Spring. For them, you need to be strong, okay?"
"I understand, but this happened so suddenly. I wasn't prepared at all, and now the baby is gone." Even the most rational person couldn't control their grief in such a moment.
She had hoped this child would always be with her, maybe even be a boy who looked like Seb. Now, all those hopes were shattered.
She also felt guilty for not protecting their child.
Seeing Susan in such pain, George felt heartbroken for her. He tried to comfort her, "This child wasn't meant to be with you. Being sad will only harm your body and make those who care about you sad."
"I understand what you're saying, but it's still my child. Let me grieve for a moment," Susan said, turning her face away as tears soaked the pillow.
George understood Susan's feelings. Losing a child, even one not yet fully formed, was like having a piece of her heart torn away.
So, he said nothing more and just sat by her side, silently accompanying her.
Susan cried for a long time until she calmed down, realizing that some things couldn't be forced. This child was never meant to be born; it was fate's arrangement.
After a long while, Susan turned her head and saw George still quietly watching her.
Susan felt more guilt than gratitude towards George.
Over the years, he had helped her so much. Whenever she faced difficulties or crises, he was always there to save her. Yet, she couldn't give him anything in return. Sometimes, she even forced herself to be cold towards him or say harsh words. Thinking about it made her feel bad, but George always stayed by her side, caring for her without ever changing.
Susan couldn't imagine what would have happened if George hadn't been there today. An ectopic pregnancy could be life-threatening. She might never have seen Hayden and Spring again.
The next moment, Susan looked at George and said, "You saved me again today."
"I was just passing by your workplace after my shift, so I took a walk around the area. I wasn't intentionally following you," George said, looking particularly nervous.
Seeing his reaction, Susan couldn't help but smile a little.
Seeing her smile, George realized he had overreacted.
"It's a good thing you did," she said softly. "Otherwise, I might not be here.""Don't say that. A couple also noticed you. I just got to you first. If I hadn't been there, they would have taken you to the hospital," George quickly said.
Susan knew George was trying to downplay his role, but his words only deepened her sense of indebtedness.
After a moment of silence, a nurse walked in.
The nurse checked Susan's temperature and condition, then smiled at George, saying, "Mr. Anderson, the doctor said your wife is out of danger now. You can rest easy."
Hearing this, Susan looked up at George, a bit puzzled.
