Chapter 724 Chaotic Situation (29) Departure
Alaric's face changed instantly.
His panic was visible to the naked eye, and he rushed into the room.
Cassius went to call the doctor.
He shouted to the medical staff outside, "Come in quickly, Cecilia is bleeding again."
The doctor had said that if Cecilia's body stopped bleeding, the fetus might still be saved, but there was only a thirty percent chance of success. Once Cecilia's body started bleeding, the baby couldn't be saved.
Cecilia clutched her stomach in pain.
Her face was extremely pale.
"Cecilia." A familiar voice suddenly appeared in Cecilia's ear.
Cecilia's body froze.
She looked up and saw Alaric.
Seeing his panicked expression.
How long had it been since she and Alaric finally met?
At that moment.
The medical staff rushed into the ward.
The attending doctor looked at her bleeding.
He quickly ordered, "Get her to the operating room, quickly!"
The medical staff moved Cecilia to a nearby mobile bed and quickly wheeled her away.
At the moment she entered the operating room.
Cecilia looked back and saw Alaric at the door, staring at her intently.
The guilt and pain on Alaric's face were evident.
The operating room door slammed shut.
Alaric just stood there at the door, staring in the direction of the door.
Cassius was also standing next to him, extremely anxious.
Cecilia, even in this condition, still wanted to keep the baby.
If she had had an abortion earlier, she wouldn't be suffering so much now.
Cassius sighed, suddenly thinking of something, and asked, "Where's Dashiell?"
Wasn't Dashiell with Alaric?
"In the emergency room getting his wounds treated," Alaric replied.
"Is he going to die?"
"Probably not."
Without a definite answer, if there were another death, he would collapse.
Cassius sat down on a nearby chair and said, "You should try to persuade Cecilia."
Alaric's eyes flickered.
"The doctor said that keeping the fetus puts Cecilia's life at risk. But Cecilia insists on keeping the baby. I can't persuade her, and it seems the doctor tried a lot too, but she didn't listen. She just kept saying she wanted to keep the baby."
As he spoke, Cassius choked up a bit.
During this time, Cecilia had really gone through too much pain.
If she really miscarried, how would she bear it?
Alaric listened silently.
He didn't say anything, couldn't say anything.
The operating room door suddenly opened.
Alaric's body stiffened.
It felt like any little noise could scare him.
Alaric had seen and experienced many crises since he was a child, and very few things could scare him to this extent.
He looked at the hurried medical staff from the operating room, "Who is Cecilia's family?"
"I am," Alaric stepped forward.
"The fetus really can't be saved, but Cecilia insists. We have no choice but to use force. You need to sign the abortion consent form!" the medical staff said urgently.
The situation seemed very serious.
Alaric's hand visibly trembled.
He said, "Okay."
He signed.
Signing, personally giving up his child.
For the first time, Alaric felt truly powerless.
He couldn't protect anyone.
The medical staff didn't say much more.
They quickly brought the consent form.
Alaric took the pen and signed his name on the consent form.
He thought, Cecilia would definitely hate him.
He would also hate himself.
After the doctor got the consent form, he immediately returned to the operating room.
The operating room door closed again.
Alaric just stared at the closed door, his eyes red.
Cassius was also beside him.
He wanted to say something, but now he didn't dare.
He was really afraid that if he spoke, Alaric would collapse.
He felt that Alaric was already on the verge of collapse.
In one day.
Alaric lost his brother Francis.
In one day.
Alaric lost his child.
Once Alaric agreed to the abortion.
He even felt that Alaric might lose Cecilia too.
Cassius couldn't think anymore.
If this continued, he would shut down.
He just stayed by Alaric's side.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Cassius turned and saw Hugo approaching.
What was Hugo doing here at this time?
It didn't seem like good news.
He suddenly shivered and shouted, "Don't tell me Dashiell died!"
Hugo glared at him.
Dashiell had already been moved to a ward from the emergency room.
His body was weak, but there were no critical injuries.
He just needed some time to recover.
Cassius felt uneasy under Hugo's gaze and didn't dare to ask more.
Hugo didn't waste time on Cassius.
He respectfully stood behind Alaric and said, "Mr. Whitaker, we just received news that the Monroe family is willing to surrender."
Alaric's eyes tightened.
Before he could speak, Cassius couldn't help but interject, "At this time, can you let him stay with Cecilia? Can't other matters wait until tomorrow?"
Hugo glared at him again.
If they weren't in a hospital, Cassius's legs might have been broken.
Cassius was really angry.
Alaric had sacrificed his whole life for the Whitaker family's revenge plan. Couldn't he have some personal time, some personal feelings?
Could Hugo not be so cold-blooded and heartless at this moment?
"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Alaric said, looking back at the operating room.
Right now, he wanted to stay with Cecilia.
"Mr. Whitaker," Hugo insisted.
He leaned close to Alaric's ear.
Cassius frowned.
What could be so secretive that Hugo had to report it to Alaric privately?
Cassius watched as Alaric's expression changed.
Bit by bit, it became extremely obvious.
It was as if something huge had happened.
At that moment, he saw Alaric following Hugo.
"Alaric!" Cassius stepped forward to stop him, "What's going on?"
"Cassius, take care of Cecilia for me!"
"Are you crazy? Leaving now!" Cassius couldn't take it anymore.
No matter how serious the matter was.
Leaving now would disappoint Cecilia.
Not to mention before.
Francis's death had hurt him so much that he couldn't care for Cecilia.
He could understand that.
He believed Cecilia could understand too.
But now Cassius couldn't understand.
He couldn't understand why Alaric would leave when Cecilia needed him most after losing the baby.
This could destroy all of a woman's deep feelings.
Cecilia had endured so much for him, gone through so much.
He began to doubt if it was really worth it for Cecilia to do all this.
Alaric ultimately chose the Whitaker family's business over Cecilia without hesitation!
