“What happened?”
Unable to evade the truth any longer, Blake honestly explained, “She had a few words with my mom, and my mom threw a cup at her. She fell…”
Evelyn gasped, steadying herself. “What? Your mom hit her?”
Blake’s expression turned remorseful. “Mother, I admit my mom was wrong, but right now, the priority is saving Viola. The physician says she has miscarried before, which injured her womb. That’s what’s causing excessive bleeding now. The situation is serious. We need to pull the baby out and use hemostatic medicine.”
Evelyn’s furious demeanor froze at his words.
Blake had found out?
Zoey interjected, “Let’s not dwell on that now. We need to save her. Listen to the physician.”
Anxiety evident in his voice, Blake continued, “The physician said we should consider calling for Sebastian, but it’s already dark. He might not be at Arcane Sanctum, so we have to proceed without him.” The physician had already prepared the hemostatic medicine. Zoey followed him inside and saw Viola, who was drenched as if she had just been pulled out of water. Her face was pale, her eyes vacant. The ordeal had taken a toll on her, making her look frailer and more exhausted.
Upon seeing her sister??n??aw, Viola instinctively searched for her mom.
“Mom…”
At that moment, Viola could only trust her mom.
Zoey grasped her sister-in??aw’s chin, her tone firm. “You need to drink the hemostatic medicine first. Your mom is just outside. Once you take it, everything will be fine.”
Viola swallowed the medicine in trembling sips, tears streaming down her face as she clutched Zoey’s hand tightly. “Am I going to die, Zoey? Will I die?”
“Don’t say such foolish things. You won’t,” Zoey reassured, steadying her shoulders. “Don’t worry, your mom and I are here with you. Just focus on giving birth.”
Zoey exchanged a glance with the midwife, who nodded and held her breath.
Screams echoed through the halls of Grace Mansion, causing Evelyn and Blake to feel their hearts sink. After the horrific cries, the sound of a baby’s wail did not follow.
Blake and Evelyn’s hearts plummeted.
The baby was most likely stillborn.
But Blake couldn’t think about that now. He rushed into the delivery room and called out, “Zoey, how is Viola?”
Through the door, came the physician’s voice, “There’s no major bleeding. Don’t worry.”
That meant Viola had made it through the worst.
Evelyn’s legs trembled uncontrollably, and it took her a moment to steady herself before she pushed the door open. Blake tried to follow her inside, but was immediately stopped by Tara.
“The blood in the room hasn’t been cleaned up yet. You can’t go in.”
“I want to see her. How is she?” Blake pleaded, feeling frantic.
“Madam Viola is okay, but she’s exhausted and needs to rest.”
Blake didn’t dare ask about the child. Tara hadn’t mentioned that both mother and baby were safe, so he suspected the worst.
A wave of anger surged within him??his was the first time he truly felt anger toward his mom.
His sister??n??aw was dead. What more did she want?
After cleaning up the delivery room, Tara emerged holding the baby, wrapped tightly in a swaddling blanket.
She sighed and approached Blake. “The baby didn’t survive. Do you want to take a look?”
With trembling hands, Blake opened the blanket, revealing the frail, lifeless body of a boy. A wave of Sorrow washed over him.
He staggered back a step, his throat tightening. “Take him away for burial. Don’t let Viola see him.”
This was supposed to be his first child. Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
“Madam Viola won’t look,” Tara said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
It was a boy. What a shame..
Evelyn stepped into the delivery room, standing by the bed and gazing at her daughter with a mix of emotions. The physician had said that if Viola hadn’t suffered that earlier miscarriage, the situation might not have been so dire. But seeing her daughter in such a state, she couldn’t bring herself to lay blame.
She sighed heavily. “Just focus on your recovery. There will be other children.”
“I won’t have any more children. I can’t do it again,” Viola said weakly, her voice barely a whisper, completely drained of strength.
Evelyn lingered in the delivery room for a moment before turning to Zoey.
“There’s no one capable of managing things here right now. Rebecca is sickly, and after Viola’s difficult labor, she’s physically and emotionally drained. Please stay here and help her for a few days.”
Ultimately, Evelyn was worried about Viola being mistreated. Rebecca could be cruel??fter all, she had thrown a cup at Viola. Who knows how much her daughter had suffered in the past?
But Evelyn didn’t confront Rebecca now. The family had just lost Amelia, and now Viola had lost her child. after a difficult labor.
If anything happened to Rebecca…
Forget it. They could no longer hide the miscarriage: Blake likely believed it was just the result of Viola’s previous relationship with Thomas, and assumed that the baby hadn’t survived. If this matter could be swept under the rug, it would be for the best.
Evelyn simply couldn’t bear to face it.
Zoey didn’t want to stick around dealing with the mess at Valor Estate, but with her mother??n??aw’s orders ringing in her ears and no lady to run the household, staying a few days to help seemed the least she could do. Still, Zoey wouldn’t stay in Valor Estate, and would instead come and go each day.
After Evelyn left, Zoey remained in the delivery room, watching her sister??n??aw sleep fitfully. Her heart. softened, and she sighed inwardly.
Forget it
Blake stood at the bedside, gazing down at Viola, who had succumbed to exhaustion. A wave of pity washed over him. In the end, it was his mom’s actions that caused his wife to fall, leading to the loss of their child.
It weighed heavily on him.
Yet, the physician’s words echoed in his mind. After hesitating for a long moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did she have a child with Thomas before? What happened to that baby?”
Zoey’s expression darkened. “Let’s talk about it later.”
