Chapter 329 Big-Hearted
The two exchanged a look. Seb strolled over, grabbed Isabella's hand, and said, "It's chilly out. I can handle this solo."
Isabella shook her head. How could she possibly sleep after something like this happened?
Isabella said, "I'm coming with you."
Seb nodded. "Alright."
When they hit the hospital, Siena was still in the ER.
A nurse handed Seb some forms to sign.
Isabella's eyes widened when she saw one of the forms mentioned removing a fallopian tube.
She asked, "What’s this about? Why do they need to take out a fallopian tube?"
"Because the patient has an ectopic pregnancy that caused a ruptured fallopian tube and severe bleeding. To save her life, we must remove one of the fallopian tubes," the nurse explained.
Isabella was floored. "Ectopic pregnancy?"
Seb signed the forms without a hitch and handed them back.
Isabella bit her lip. The hospital at night had this eerie vibe that made her feel all kinds of uneasy.
She asked, "Seb, Siena's gonna be okay, right?"
Seb patted her back. "She'll pull through. Don't stress."
Isabella nodded but was still pretty worried.
All she could do was silently pray for Siena, hoping she'd be alright.
After what felt like forever, the light above the ER finally went out.
As the door swung open, Isabella and Seb rushed over. "Doc, how is she?"
The doctor said, "She's out of danger now. The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. We'll get a nurse to take her to a ward."
Seb said, "Thanks."
As the hospital bed rolled out, Siena looked ghostly pale, lying there like she was out cold.
Seb glanced at Siena's face, which looked a lot like Anna's from his memories, and then looked away.
After a long night, when Siena woke up, the sky outside was already starting to brighten.
She opened her eyes and saw Isabella and Seb sitting by the bed.
Seeing Siena awake, Isabella stood up. "Siena, you're awake?"
Siena's eyes moved from Isabella's face to Seb's. She weakly raised a hand. "Seb."
Isabella noticed Siena's movement and froze for a sec.
But considering Siena had just woken up, Isabella pulled Seb over to the bedside.
Siena grabbed Seb's hand, tears streaming down her face and soaking the pillow. "Seb, it hurts so much."
Isabella was speechless.
Seb frowned, looking at Siena seriously. "Siena, you knew this baby couldn't be kept. I told you to handle it after everything was over. Why did this happen today? Don't you owe me an explanation?"
"I'm sorry, Seb." Siena sobbed.
Isabella couldn't bear to watch and quietly tugged on Seb's sleeve, signaling with her eyes for him to ease up.
Seb frowned, a dark look in his eyes. He turned to Siena and said, "I'll get you a nurse. Rest up in the hospital."
Siena immediately shook her head. "Seb, don't leave me alone. I'm scared."
"You're not alone," Seb said.
Seb continued, "The nurse will be with you."
Siena called, "Seb."
Seb said, "Siena, as an adult, you need to own up to your actions. Since you didn't listen, you gotta deal with the consequences!"
Siena bit her lip, tears soaking into the pillow.
Isabella didn't get a chance to say anything before Seb dragged her out of the room.
"Seb." Isabella tugged at him. "Isn't it kinda harsh to leave Siena like that?"
Seb turned to her, looking a bit annoyed. "What was that about pulling me over her just now?"
He stepped closer. "Dragging your husband over to hold another chick's hand. Bella, you got some guts."
Isabella was stunned for a sec before she got what Seb meant. "Siena's not some random girl; she's your sister."
Even though Isabella thought Siena's behavior was a bit off, she hadn't really overthought it.
"A sister is still the opposite sex," Seb said, exasperated. He held Isabella's hand tight and said sincerely, "Bella, can you be a little more sensitive and not too nice? At least with me, can you be a bit more possessive?"
Isabella laughed. "What's up with you? According to the usual logic, shouldn't I be the one getting jealous? Why are you the one getting upset?"
"Are you following the usual logic?" Seb said, frustrated.
Isabella was speechless.
As they were talking, a dull thud came from the room, followed by Siena's painful cries.
When they rushed back in, they saw Siena had fallen from the high hospital bed, dragging the blanket with her. The water cup on the bedside table was knocked over, and the IV was yanked out. Siena lay curled on the floor, clutching her abdomen in agony, her whole body shaking with pain.
Seb called the doctor, who came and treated Siena before putting her back on the bed.
But Siena was super uncooperative. She kept struggling even though she was in serious pain. "Let me down; let me go!"
Finally, the doctor gave her a sedative, and Siena calmed down.
But she still stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, tears streaming down.
Seeing Siena like this, the medical staff advised, "The patient is very emotionally unstable right now. It's best if a family member stays with her."
Seb frowned, staying silent.
Isabella looked at the sky outside and nodded. "Okay."
Seb turned to look at Isabella.
As daylight broke outside, the hospital started to get busier.
"Seb," Siena weakly called out.
Seb looked at her but didn't respond.
Isabella couldn't stand it and spoke up, "Siena, how are you feeling?"
"Much better. Isabella, I'm sorry for causing you trouble again. I always seem to be a burden." As she spoke, Siena's tears started falling again.
Isabella was speechless. She used to think she was fragile, but she hadn't expected Siena to be even more so. Siena's tears seemed endless.
Isabella said, "Siena, why didn't you tell me you had an ectopic pregnancy? If I had known earlier, I..."
"Isabella, didn't you already know?" Siena interrupted, blinking innocently.
Isabella was stunned, not immediately getting what Siena meant.
But Siena had already turned her gaze to Seb. "Seb, didn't you ask me before why I didn't abort the child? Actually, it was Isabella who encouraged me."
Isabella was completely bewildered.
