But, everyone had now left. In this urgent situation, not a single person stopped to help her.
“It hurts…”
Elodie struggled on the floor in pain as her vision became blurry. However, not a single person paid attention to her. They simply felt that she deserved it. In fact, not a single phone call for the ambulance was even made.
Elodie began to lose consciousness. At this time, the two men that had been watching over her, finally ran over. One was on the phone, while the other carried her up in his arms.
Realizing she had finally received help, Elodie felt a sense of warmth as she slowly closed her eyes…
But, was it really warmth that she was receiving?
Elodie would have never imagined the hell that was awaiting her.
…
Outside the delivery room of the city hospital, Elder Miller had rushed over after receiving news of Elodie and her child’s injury.
At this time, Elodie had just finished her examinations and was being sent into the delivery room…
Elodie lay in bed. As she saw her grandfather appear, she stretched out her hand and grabbed onto him, “Grandfather, help me. I can’t take this pain anymore.”
“Don’t worry Elodie, the doctors will help you,” Elder Miller comforted. “This is my great grandchild. It will definitely be fine.”
Seeing Elder Miller, Elodie felt like she had returned home…
So, she relaxed and closed her eyes.
But, had she really returned home?
Whilst in the delivery room, Elodie was forced into early labour due to the injury she had suffered. So, the delivery did not go so well. There were quite a few times when she was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
After 3 whole hours, the baby did not show any signs that it was going to come out. Finally, the doctor had to step out and speak to Elder Miller, “In her current state, we cannot perform a caesarian section on the mother. We can only keep trying with a normal delivery. But, we need the family members to sign some papers. In extreme conditions, we need to know whether you want us to save the mother or the child…’
Hearing this, Elder Miller closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A moment later, he blurted out one simple word…
The doctor was surprised, but he did not say a word. He simply returned to the delivery room with the signed papers.
Child!
Elder Miller’s response was to save the child…
The doctors found Elder Miller’s decision quite strange. It was rare to see a grandfather treat their own granddaughter so ruthlessly.
But, this was the family’s decision, so the doctors weren’t held accountable. All they had to do was try their best at saving both Elodie and her child.
Plus, they couldn’t imagine how bad the relationship bet**en the two would be for the grandfather to make such a decision.
Because, they had no idea how hateful Elodie was!
…
After another half hour of anxious waiting, Bertha arrived from Miller Corps to check on Elodie’s situation, “She still hasn’t come out?”
Elder Miller sat in quiet thought. After quite some time, he finally nodded his head, “Yes, and there’s a possibility she may never come out…”
“Father…” Bertha looked at Elder Miller questioningly. She refused to believe that Elder Miller could truly be this heartless.
“One may have the chance to avoid natural disasters, but, they cannot escape from their sins.”
As Elder Miller finished speaking, the door to the operating theater opened and the doctor walked out, “That was a close call, but don’t worry, both mother and child are safe! However, since the child is only 7 months old, it will need to remain in the incubator. After the nurses are done, you can visit it in the NICU.”
“Thank you!”
“The mother is quite weak, she will need some time to recover. The nurses will take her to the hospital room.”
After hearing this, Elder Miller had no response. To be exact, he was forcing himself not to care about the sinister woman.
“Father, do you want go see Elodie?”
“No need. Emma will be here soon. I’m going to go check on my great grandchild.”
Elder Miller had no intention of giving Elodie any chances, because she was too evil and had too much history to prove it.
Bertha nodded her head. Since Emma was on her way, then that must mean she was going to deal with Elodie very soon. So, Bertha did not visit the hospital room either. She simply followed behind Elder Miller. Since the child was an offspring of the Miller Family, she was going to treat it well, but she wasn’t going to give it the chance to come in contact with Elodie ever again.
…
After giving birth, Elodie fell asleep from exhaustion. By the time she opened her eyes again, two hours had already passed. But, the first person she saw wasn’t a doctor or a nurse. Nor was it Elder Miller. It was a figure standing beside the window.
It was none other than Emma!
As soon as she saw Emma, Elodie wanted to speak, but her throat was so dry that not a sound came out.
“You…”
“You’re finally awake,” Emma commented, “You gave birth to a little boy. His condition isn’t great, so he is currently being kept in an incubator.”
Elodie glared at Emma with hatred. With all her strength, she tried to sit up straight, but the pain that came from her lower body forced her back down.
“Emma, stop putting on an act. Why are you here?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special, I’m just here to chase up some old debts. By the way, grandfather has already organized for the child to transfer hospitals.”
“What do you mean?” Elodie asked anxiously.
“What I mean is, grandfather has already taken your child away. Don’t dream about ever seeing it again in this lifetime,” Emma said quietly. “To be honest, I don’t really have any special ‘gift’ to give you. I could only return what you tried to do to me…So, from now on, you won’t be having any more children…”
Elodie froze. After a few moments, she finally realized what Emma was trying to say.
“You…you removed…”
“That’s right. Since you wanted so badly to remove someone else’s uterus, I thought you’d want to experience it for yourself,” Emma replied.
Elodie struggled to sit up, but at this time, the nurse knocked on the door and entered. She then passed all the hospital bills to Emma, “Mrs Roberts, these are the fees for Miss Miller’s delivery, please…”
Emma lowered her head and looked at the thick stack of papers. She then laughed, “I’m not the one that gave birth.”
The nurse paused for a moment, not quite sure what Emma meant.
“Ask her for the money…” Emma pointed her chin, gesturing to the nurse that she was speaking to the wrong person.
Elodie’s exp**ssion changed as she clenched her fists. After quite some time, she finally told the nurse, “I have no money.”
“This…”
“I have no money. I am completely broke,” Elodie emphasized. She then said to Emma with tears in her eyes, “Must you push me into a dead end like this?”
Seeing the situation wasn’t great, the nurse turned to leave, “I’ll let you two talk it out first.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. Get the money from her…”
Elodie hated being humiliated in front of Emma, so she threw away her blankets and forced herself up, “Forget it, I’ll leave the hospital right now if you want me to.”
The nurse looked at Emma awkwardly. At this moment, Elodie fell out of bed and the nurse quickly turned to help her up, “Hurry, get up. I won’t rush you for the money.”
Elodie lay on the floor as she looked at Emma and laughed in ridicule.
“Are you happy now?”
