Chapter 1234
Dorothy was completely flabbergasted, at a loss for what to do next.
On the other end of the phone, Everett's voice came through, deep and concerned, "What happened?"
"It's Karen, she's bleeding! Tell Jeffrey to head to the hospital, we're on our way there now, and I'll explain everything once we get there!" "Alright."
After hanging up, Dorothy felt a shiver run down her spine, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
She was panicked, but Karen was in an even worse state!
Just moments ago, Karen had been insisting she was fine, but now she was crying her eyes out.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dorothy, do you think... do you think I could be having a miscarriage?"
"Stop crying! We're going to the hospital right now!"
Dorothy realized that if she lost her composure now, things would only get worse.
She had to stay strong and reassure Karen.
"Don't worry... it might just be a shock! Everything will be okay once we get to the hospital."
...
When Everett broke the news to Jeffrey, he was buried in paperwork. The news made Jeffrey leap from his chair, only to collapse back into it, overwhelmed. "Which hospital? I'm on my way now!"
"I'll come with you."
Everett was worried about both Jeffrey and Dorothy.
This kind of scare must have been terrifying for her!
By the time Everett and Jeffrey arrived at the hospital, Karen was already being examined.
Jeffrey, eyes red with worry, turned to Dorothy, "What happened? Weren't you guys just out shopping? How could this have..."
"We had just gotten out of the car when, unfortunately, Karen ran into your ex, Raige! You know how Karen is, especially with Paige throwing taunts her way, she couldn't just let it slide! Then Paige had this little girl with her bump into Karen's stomach!"
"Paige!"
Jeffrey clenched his fists in anger.
At that moment, he felt like he could kill Paige himself!
Everett, knowing his brother's temper, frowned and stepped in front of Jeffrey, preventing him from rushing off.
"Let's not be hasty! Karen is still inside. What if something happens, are Dorothy and I supposed to make decisions on her behalf?" "You're right... my wife comes first!" Jeffrey realized.
Even though he stayed, he couldn't
help but use his phone to have his people find and detain Paige,
suspecting she'd try to flee, knowing the trouble she'd caused.
Everett sighed deeply and approached Dorothy.
Noticing her shaking, his eyebrows furrowed with concern.
"Don't be scared, we're here now."
As Dorothy looked up at him, tears finally broke free.
"Everett... there was so much blood! Karen won't be... will she?"
"Crying won't help. Let's just wait for the results. With today's medical technology, she should be fine."
Dorothy, still drowning in guilt, lowered her gaze, her voice filled with self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. I should've reacted faster! Knowing how much Paige despised Karen, I should've anticipated no good from that girl approaching. If only I had stood in front of her... It wouldn't matter if I got hurt, but Karen... she's pregnant!"
Everett pulled her into a hug, his hands gently stroking her back.
"This is on Paige, not you."
"That Paige... I won't let her off easily!" Jeffrey interjected fiercely, "I should've never been lenient with her before!"
