The crowd gathered around them, and everything they asked was about Amber Mitchell. They were obviously trying to get news from these two people.
“I’ve said everything I have to say. I have no further comment,” said Kyla.
“How could you have no further comment? We’ve never heard of the eldest heiress of the Mitchell family having a friend like you. Do you have ulterior motives for showing up so suddenly and proving Amber Mitchell isn’t mentally ill?” the crowd said as they aggressively filmed Kyla with their cameras.
Kyla frowned, suddenly feeling a familiar pain in her belly.
The pain felt like the pain she experienced in L City… She recalled the doctor saying that the pain would become more and more frequent as her pregnancy progressed.
However, she had been in good health after coming to Deer City. She did not expect the pain to flare up again at this time.
Martin Weiss sensed that something was wrong with Kyla, so he immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
“My belly… hurts a little. Let’s go… to the hospital,” Kyla said as she endured the pain.
“Okay, hold on. We’ll go right away,” said Martin Weiss as he held Kyla to leave.
However, the reporters did not want to let them go so easily.
“F*ck off!” Martin Weiss shouted, but the reporters got closer as they asked various questions. They even asked Kyla, “Why pretend? You just have to answer a few questions? Are they so hard to answer? Or are you feeling guilty?”
Kyla only felt the discomfort growing. Her face grew paler and paler, and her hands clutched her abdomen.
Martin Weiss hurriedly said to Kyla, “Hold on a little longer.
We’re at the hospital now. I’ll take you to see the doctor immediately.” Although the hospital did not specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, the emergency room must have some ways to ease her pain.
However, the crowd was still blocking their way as Martin Weiss tried to take Kyla to the emergency room. They continued filming them with the cameras in their hands. One of them even held their camera close to Kyla’s face.
Martin Weiss waved them away with one hand.
The camera in their hands fell to the ground, and the expressions of the reporters instantly changed.
They hit Martin Weiss while yelling, “How dare you smash my camera? Outsiders like you better get the hell out of Deer City. Who are you to interfere with the Mitchell family’s affairs?”
Martin Weiss protected Kyla as he withstood the reporters’
attacks. He looked flustered.
Kyla was in so much pain that she could no longer speak. She could only feel the man beside her protecting her. She heard the sounds of someone getting hit, but she never suffered any hits on her body.
Suddenly, there was a fit of banging sounds.
Kyla only saw a camera hitting Martin Weiss’s head. Red blood instantly streamed down Martin Weiss’s forehead and cheek before dripping onto her face. It felt so hot.
Kyla’s heart shuddered. She knew Martin Weiss was a decent fighter. He would never have gotten into such a mess if he were not protecting her.
However, she was in so much pain that she could not even utter words of apology.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of fighting. stopped. Kyla felt herself being held in a strong pair of arms.
Then, she heard the familiar deep voice. “Bear with me. We’ll reach the emergency room soon.”
‘But what about him? How is he doing?”
Kyla opened her eyes almost with difficulty. She could only vaguely see his profile. Blood was dripping down his forehead and cheek. The red color was so striking…
Then, she was enveloped in darkness.
When Kyla woke up, she caught sight of Grace’s face.
Kyla asked urgently, “How is Martin Weiss? Is he alright?”
Grace paused slightly before saying, “He’s alright. He suffered some injuries. Fortunately, they’re only skin trauma, but the baby in your belly isn’t doing well.”
Kyla was shocked. “How is the baby?”
“The burden on your liver is increasing. There’s no guarantee you’ll make it to seven months. If the pain flares up again, we’ll probably have to take the baby out,” Grace said with a solemn expression.
Kyla instantly turned pale.
Grace continued saying, “So, we have to escort you back to Emerald City first. We have a better medical team in Emerald City that can give you better treatment. Besides, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to travel around with the baby after you give birth, so now is the best time to return to Emerald City.”
Kyla knew that what Grace said was right. If she stayed in Deer City, she would give birth at any time. It would take a “But Amber Mitchell is still…” Kyla said hesitantly.
“You don’t have to worry about Amber Mitchell. Although it’s only a preliminary diagnosis, the odds are 80% or 90%. I’ll conclude the things here. What matters the most for you right now is to deliver this baby and get through this crisis. You can only talk about the future after you get through it. Besides, do you think Amber Mitchell will be happy if you stay here in your condition?”
Every word Grace said struck Kyla’s heart.
She bit her lip. “Okay, I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll go back to Emerald City.” Her eyes fell on her bulging belly under the bedsheet.
This was her baby. She wanted the baby to be born safely.
Grace felt relieved at that. “Then I’ll ask the doctor to make the necessary arrangements. You’ll return to Emerald City tomorrow.”
As she was about to leave the ward, she suddenly seemed to recall something. She said to Kyla, “Do you really think you don’t love Martin Weiss enough?”
Kyla stared blankly at her and was stunned for a moment.
Grace said, “When you open your eyes, the first thing you think of is Martin Weiss’s injury, not the baby in your belly. We all know how much you value this child. You were even willing to sacrifice your own life for the baby, but… it was Martin Weiss you were most worried about, not the baby.”
Kyla froze. There was a look of shock on her face.
Grace sighed. “Kyla, have you ever thought that your love for Martin Weiss isn’t lacking, but you just never realized how deep it is?”
Grace left the ward, while Kyla fell silent.
‘Never realized how deep it is?’ Her heart throbbed in pain at the question, and her hand could not help caressing her belly.
‘When did I start to have so much affection for Martin Weiss?
‘Is it when he risked his life to save me, or had he always had a spot in my heart even though I’ve been saying that I have no feelings for him?
‘But… it’s too late now. He has forgotten his feelings for me. So what if I realize I love him now?
‘I don’t even know how long I can live. Maybe only a few months or a few years, so how can I love him?
‘Can I love him with my damaged, dying body?’
Kyla smiled bitterly, but tears welled up in her eyes and dripped onto the white blanket.
Grace had confirmed with the hospital that the ambulance.
would take Kyla back to Emerald City tomorrow. The first aid equipment on the ambulance made it a better choice for Kyla.
After confirming the ambulance and the doctor who would be going along, Grace went to Martin Weiss’s ward.
Martin Weiss was half-lying on the hospital bed. The wound on his forehead had been stitched up and was bandaged in gauze.
Grace shuddered at the thought of last night.
She and Jason had not left the hospital at the time. When she come to the emergency room after hearing the news, she saw Martin Weiss sitting there. A doctor was stitching up his wound, while Kyla was lying on the hospital bed beside him.
One of the doctors from the hospital was treating Kyla.
They were supposed to be in separate wards for two different treatments.
