“There’s blood.”
Chloe saw that blood was dripping down from Dolores’s leg from the pathway that Matthew had walked
over.
Noah subconsciously looked at the floor. In fact, the blood was still obvious on the clean white floor
even though it was not very much.
He was trembling with fear and speechless with his mouth half-open.
Chloe remained calm and nudged him, “It is just probably because she is about to give birth. Let’s hurry
over and see if we can help?”
Noah then only regained his sense and ran over immediately. He said, “I will drive the car.”
It was not sure whether Matthew had heard him. Anyway, Matthew did not answer him.
He was walking very quickly and his expression was serious. Actually, he was already in a panic and
was no longer a tactful man.
It was noticeable that his pace was fast and unsteady as he was in a hurry.
As he walked through the wedding hall, the car which they had made all the way here was parked at
the roadside.
The driver got down from the car and opened the car door hurriedly while Matthew was approaching.
The driver was startled when seeing that there was blood on Dolores’s body, “Missus, she…”
“Start driving!”
Matthew shouted angrily.
The driver rushed to the driving seat hastily and started driving as fast as he could.
Dolores buried his head in Matthew’s arms. She gripped his collar tightly, but she could not alleviate the
pain in her stomach no matter what she did.
It was like the pain of being cut and tortured.
She was really uncomfortable as her face turned extremely pale and she was gasping rapidly.
Matthew hugged her and kissed her forehead, “I’m here. I’m by your side. We will reach the hospital
soon. It’s alright, it’s alright…”
He seemed to be comforting himself rather than comforting her. He just felt so stressful as if his heart
was so congested that he even experienced breathing difficulty.
His collar was all wet due to Dolores’s tears and sweat. Her forehead was full of perspiration.
“I…am so painful.” Her lips trembled as she sobbed hoarsely.
Matthew hugged her tightly. He felt that his hand was wet too and thought that it was sweat. So, he
lowered his head and pulled some part of her dress underneath her. However, her initially white dress
was already stained red.
The driver was driving as fast as possible and had already run the red light twice.
Matthew urged, “Hurry up!”
The driver stepped on the accelerator again. He did not have time to wipe off the sweat on his
forehead, but he was looking in front and driving intently.
Dolores quivered even intensely as she was getting more uncomfortable.
Matthew caressed her face and kissed her pale lips, “It’s alright, it’s alright. I’m here. We will reach the
hospital soon.”
Dolores was blurred and unconscious as she could no longer see and respond to him.
At this moment, the car finally stopped at the hospital. After the driver opened the car door, Matthew
got down from the car and ran towards the hospital.
Matthew carried Dolores to the main hall where the doctors were already pushing the emergency bed
over. The doctors asked him to lay the patient on the bed.
He bent down and laid Dolores on the bed. Dolores grabbed his collar and would not let go. So, he
bent down and followed the doctors to the emergency room.
When they reached the doorway, the doctor said, “The patient needs immediate surgery, you can’t go
in…”
Matthew said, “I definitely won’t disturb you…”
Dolores let go of her hand and shook her head weakly as if she was telling him not to go in with her.
The doctor pushed Dolores into the room. Matthew did not even have the chance to hold her hand for a
moment.
“Please wait outside the door.” The doctor turned around and went into the operating room. The door
was shut immediately.
The signal light on the upper right corner turned red, indicating that outsiders were not allowed to
disturb as the operation was in progress.
Matthew stood still in front of the surgery door without moving as if he had lost his soul.
The driver stood by the side and did not dare to say anything.
Ten minutes later, Noah arrived with his family. Marina helped Jeffery to walk quickly while Noah and
Chloe were ahead of them rushing to the operating room.
“Is she in the operating room yet?” He asked.
At this moment, Matthew did not have the mood to answer anybody’s question.
The driver whispered, “She is already in the operating room.”
Everybody was waiting outside the operating room.
After an hour, there was still no news at all. The atmosphere became overwhelming and tense as
nobody dared to speak. Every second was torturing for them.
Suddenly, the driver’s phone rang.
He went to the side and picked up the call. It was from Jessica who usually delivered meals to the
hospital with the help of the driver. So, she had the driver’s phone number since it was convenient to
contact him. Dolores had gone out for a while today, thus she called the driver to ask if Dolores should
come back already.
The driver thought in his mind that Jessica was Dolores’s mother, so he should inform her. He said,
“We have come back, but probably Missus is in labour. So, she is already in the operating room, just
that the situation is still uncertain at this moment…”
Jessica’s body jerked, “What do you mean by the situation is still uncertain?”
The driver said, “We’re at the operating room on the sixth floor. Just come over.”
He could not explain clearly.
Jessica hung up the phone and walked out of the ward immediately.
When she arrived at the operating room, she saw the Harris family but she did not greet them. Instead,
she went straight to Matthew who was nearest to the door of the operating room.
She saw the bloodstain on his white shirt had dried and turned dark red, also on his hands as well.
She instantly understood what was going on. She suppressed the panic in her heart and comforted
him, “Dolores has been suffering since young and it’s all over. She will enjoy a happy life from now on.
She will be fine. Don’t worry too much and go to wash your hands now. Dolores won’t be happy later if
she sees you like this.”
