Chapter 424 A Successful Operation
Clarissa listened to her words in a daze, with no expression on her face at all.
Just when the doctor was almost done with the examination, she suddenly asked, "Doctor, you just said, how old is the baby?"
The doctor said, "Four weeks and a half."
Clarissa thought for a moment. "Four weeks and a half... That's about a month's time, which means it will take about eight months for the baby to be delivered, am I right?"
After listening to her words, the doctor suddenly laughed. "Yes, why? You couldn't wait to see your baby?"
After a pause, she said, "There's no need to hurry. It can't be rushed anyway. It's no use for you to be anxious."
The tears at the corner of Clarissa's eyes streamed down soundlessly. She forced the corner of her mouth to twitch. "Okay, I got it."
After finishing the ultrasound scan, the doctor handed the results to her and said, "I will prescribe some medicine for the maintenance of your pregnancy. Please take them on time. And, you must do the pre-natal check-up regularly in the future. You can't treat this matter lightly. Mr. Jordan is a blessed man. He will wake up soon. You don't have to worry too much about him."
Seeing that her expression was gloomy, she sighed and advised, "Even if something really happens, you have a child now. Even if it's for the sake of the child, you have to be stronger. Do you understand?"
Clarissa lowered her head and forced a smile. She nodded and said, "I know, thank you, doctor."
After that, she left.
She took the results of the scan and went back to the third floor. Anderson still had not come out.
At this time, David also rushed over.
In fact, David had been in F Country for the past two days as well. However, he had been dealing with other matters and not by Anderson's side.
As soon as he got the news of Anderson's injury, he was shocked and immediately rushed over here.
At this time, seeing the operation was still going on, he could not help but ask, "How is Mr. Jordan?"
Someone explained to him, "He hasn't come out yet."
David frowned with worry.
He turned to look at Clarissa. Although he was worried, he still walked to her side and comforted her. "Madam, you don't have to worry too much. Mr. Jordan will be out of danger soon."
Clarissa nodded.
David spotted the pregnancy test results in her hand at a glance.
Immediately, he shuddered.
"Is she pregnant?" David thought.
Sometimes life was full of surprises. It just so happened that she was found pregnant when Anderson was injured.
He quickly comforted her, "Mrs. Jordan, you should try to be relaxed for the sake of the baby. If you are tired, go to rest for a while. I will immediately inform you once Mr. Jordan is awake."
Clarissa shook her head.
"No, I want to wait for him here."
No matter what had happened in the past, she could always stay strong.
But now, looking at the operating theatre, she couldn't be strong no matter how hard she tried. Her mind was in such a mess and she didn't know what to do.
She really was scared. She couldn't imagine if Anderson really couldn't wake up, what would she do?
It was because of her Anderson ended up injured. If it weren't for her, everything would not have happened today.
If something bad did happen to him, how was Clarissa supposed to continue living?
Looking at how silent she was right now, David knew that he couldn't persuade her anymore, so he stopped saying anything.
After a long time, Clarissa suddenly said, "David, I'm fine. You can go."
David was stunned and immediately said seriously, "I'm not leaving. How can I leave? I want to stay here to protect you!"
Clarissa shook her head. "I don't need anyone to protect me. You can leave now. Go help Luke."
Hearing what she said, David was stunned. He was obviously surprised.
Clarissa continued, "I want to know why the murderer did this. In those years, she was so close to me. Was she lying to me all the while? Were all these a trap?"
David shuddered and said in a low voice, "You mean... you know the murderer?"
Clarissa nodded.
She sat there, and after a long while, she said, "Go help him. Find that person. After finding her, you must let me meet her. I want to confront her."
David looked at her with hesitation.
Clarissa said again, "Staying here with me will not relieve me from my guilt. If you really want to help me, find the murderer as soon as possible and I will be very grateful to you."
David was slightly shocked. He pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
"I understand, madam. Don't worry. Even without your instruction, we will try our best to find the murderer for Mr. Jordan."
Clarissa nodded.
Only then did David turn around and leave.
Clarissa didn't say anything more. At this moment, the door of the operating theatre was opened.
Everyone's facial expression suddenly changed, as they all rushed over.
"Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor in a white coat took off the mask from his face, took the towel handed by the nurse next to him to wipe his sweat, and said, "Congratulations, he has made it. He is alright now. After we finish cleaning-up, we will move him to the ward."
His words undoubtedly relieved everyone's worries in an instant.
Everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Clarissa's body, which had been struggling to support herself, couldn't hold on any longer and went limp.
"Clarissa!"
"Clarissa!"
The people next to her quickly held her up. Clarissa waved her hand dismissively and said, "I'm fine. Let me go over and sit for a while."
Everyone knew that she was pregnant, and she was just forcing herself to hold on tightly. Now that Clarissa knew that Anderson was safe, she naturally needed to rest.
They quickly ordered someone to prepare the room and helped her to rest first.
At this time, on the other side.
On the Hampsington Road
A woman in a tight black suit stood on the rooftop, looking at the lights under her feet as she curled her lips up coldly.
Twenty minutes ago, she tried to leave, only to find there were roadblocks everywhere. Everyone was searching for her.
Moreover, her name was now on the wanted list and had become the most wanted fugitive.
As soon as she showed up now, she would be arrested immediately.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth raised silently, in a self-deprecating manner.
No wonder he was close to Anderson. They had a similar way of dealing things. They were both equally ruthless and heartless.
She couldn't help but recall the night many years ago when she tried her best to leave Ascijan, and those people had stopped her in the same manner.
They blocked all the major transport in the Flaucford city, intercepted the flight she took, and caught her.
That night, it was one of the most painful, unbelievable experiences she ever had.
She watched as her father jumped off the tall building, just like the height she was standing here at the moment.
She struggled and screamed desperately, trying to grab on to her father's clothes, but she could not move.
Those people, just like the devils, held her back forcefully.
They didn't even flinch watching a living person jump off from such a high place.
