Chapter 72
“Wait, what?”
He let out. He came at the right time because he hated to think that she would have been alone if Patrick had not told him to go talk to her.
“The baby, I lost my baby,”
She broke down, he looked at her in shock, why would she think that?
“Darling, Sophie? Stop crying please and tell me what is going on, why would you think you lost your baby?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Lance asked in fear, that was not what he expected her to say, it was worst. Now he wished she was crying because of their fight because that would be easy to fix, not the baby, she couldn’t lose the baby, it would break her and he didn’t want that. It has to be some kind of mistake or she was just overthinking.
“Hey, baby, calm down and talk to me; why do you think you lost the baby,”
He asked, looking around her for anything that would have given her that thought, surely there had to be something that triggered it. He didn’t find anything that would indicate that she did. She refused to answer his questions. He didn’t even know if he was asking the right questions, she refused to stop crying or say anything to him, she just kept holding onto his hands tightly.
“I felt a sharp pain while I was seated watching TV, I didn’t think much of it because it didn’t last but when I got up to go to the restroom, I turned around and saw blood on the spot I was sitting, I ran into the restroom and checked, I have been bleeding,”
She explained between tears. His heart sank, he knew what a miscarriage was and feared that he might be part of the reason she could have had a miscarriage.
“At first, I thought it was just the normal spotting and wore a pad thinking it would stop in a few hours but it didn’t stop, I just came back to check and my pad is filled, I am still bleeding,”
She cried. Lance didn’t know much about pregnancy and what is considered normal and abnormal so he couldn’t really say. He had a feeling that the baby was okay; okay, maybe he just wanted to give her up, he lifted her crying face so that she was looking at him. Her beautiful eyes were so sad with tears running down her face, he wiped the tears with his thumbs.
“Soph, I think you are okay; I don’t think you lost the baby, just calm down and we will sort everything out, okay?”
His voice came out calmer than he felt, if he was being honest, he was more scared than her.
“No, the bleeding, it is as if I am on my period, I can’t be on my period when I am supposed to be pregnant, this is the first time it is happening and I have been pregnant for over three months,”
She explained.
“Let’s get you off the floor first and then we will find a way out of this, okay? Soph? did you hear what I said? you will listen to me right?”
He asked and she nodded. He managed to get her up and she went into his arms, crying even harder, he patted her back softly. Praying that he was right and that the baby was okay, surely, just bleeding doesn’t mean the baby was gone.
“Do you feel any kind of discomfort right now?”
He asked and she shook her head.
“No, except for that sharp pain, I haven’t felt anything else,”
She responded.
“Then I think we still have hope,”
‘I don’t know, I am so scared, I am so scared that I hurt my baby,”
She cried.
“No, don’t say that, you haven’t and you won’t lose the baby,”
He said and broke the hug just to help her out of the restroom and into her bedroom, he sat on the bed with her beside him. She didn’t let go and didn’t stop crying. Her cries made him feel useless. There has to be something that he could do for her but he couldn’t even think of what he could do.
“Lance, I can’t lose my baby, please, save my baby,”
She cried. Breaking down even more. He tried to console her but that wasn’t working out. Lance didn’t know what else to do; his head was blank and he couldn’t even think straight. He tried to get up to think but she refused to let him go and refused to stop crying, he was confused as hell and then like as if he got his senses back after losing it, he suddenly remembered what he should do, something that should have been the first thing he thought about when she told him she was bleeding. Hospital, he needed to take her to the hospital.
“Sophie, baby; I know what we should do. Let’s get you to the hospital, we need to see the doctor, that’s what we should do before jumping to any conclusion,”
He said and managed to free himself from her. He brought out his phone and dialed Patrick’s number.
“Patrick, get a car ready right now, we are going to the hospital,”
Lance let out as soon as Patrick answered the call.
“what? Why? Are you hurt? Did you hurt yourself?”
“No, not me, Sophie is hurt, get the car ready right now,”
Lance let out and hung up, he went back to Sophie and carried her into his arms as he wasn’t sure she could walk on her own and she didn’t say anything or protest. he didn’t want to go through the long route so he took the door that led to his room. Once he was out of his room, guards rushed to him, thankfully, Patrick came right at that moment and he didn’t have to talk with them.
“This way,”
He said and led the way as Lance rushed with Sophie in his hands towards where the car was parked. She had her face buried in his chest and was still sobbing.
