Chapter 224


    " What happened?" Shawn was in aplete daze when someone pushed him to the side forcefully. A


    tall, sturdy figure had rushed over and crouched down by Leah''s side in a sh.


    Shawm knitted his brows.


    It''s Han. I should just act dumb now.


    He replied to Han with a seemingly helpless and confused expression on liis face. "Blood... Sarah is


    bleeding a lot. I''m so scared."


    Shawm soon noticed that Han was looking at him with an icy. piercing gaze. He quickly scurried off.


    appearing as if he was thoroughly intimidated by Han.


    Han turned his eyes toward Leah. His heart ached terribly as he took in her weakened condition and


    her blood-stained dress. Just then, he felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his head.


    Images of a past memory shed across his mind. That particr memory looked curiously simr to


    their current situation. Leah was on the floor in a pool of blood. Han could almost hear her calling out in


    a weak voice, "Save my child..."


    Han was reminded of the frequent nightmares he had previously. He tried to snap out of it and stretch


    out his arms to pick Leah up. However, he found himself shaking uncontrobly and realized he could


    hardly muster any strength in his body.


    As more images of his past filled his mind, Han was so overwhelmed he felt as if his head might split


    open.


    "Move!" Suddenly, someone shoved Han aside at that moment.


    Ron had returned from a quick smoke, and he did not expect to find such a huge crowd gathered


    around where Leah was seated. When he had finally squeezed through the crowd and registered the


    sight before him, a violent rage erupted in him.


    Ron wanted desperately to beat Han into a pulp at the sight of Leah in a bloodied state. However, he


    knew'' that Leah needed help urgently.


    He swiftly moved toward Leah and picked her up in his arms.


    Han was as pale as a ghost due to his headache at that point. Despite that, he reached out and


    grabbed onto the hem of Ron''s shirt.


    Ron red at Han and said in a severe tone, "Have you not done enough damage to her life, Han?


    Just stay away from her!"


    Han had a pained look in his eyes upon hearing those words. Then, he slowly loosened his grip on


    Ron''s shirt.


    Ron earned Leah, who had passed out due to the pain, and strode out of the ce.


    "Han. are you alright? Han?!" Molly had finally noticed themotion and hurried to Han''s side.


    She was expecting to see Leah embarrass herself. However, she ended up finding a pale, hunched


    Han on the floor. His face was even dripping with sweat.


    Han''s eyes narrowed as he fixed liis gaze on Molly.


    He felt extremely disoriented as memories of the past and present seemed to fall back into ce in liis


    head.


    Suddenly, everything went ck before Han''s eyes. Before he knew it, he had fainted and dropped to


    the floor.


    Ron sped all the way to the hospital to get Leah there as soon as possible.


    After that, he waited anxiously outside the emergency room for a long time. He could see doctors rush


    in and out of the emergency room from time to time.


    However, every time a doctor emerged from the room, they would either have a deep frown on their


    foreheads, or they would be sighing endlessly.


    Ron felt as if there were a huge stone weighing on liis heart.


    Eventually, Ron called out to a doctor who had just stepped out of the emergency room. Then, he


    asked worriedly, "Doctor, how is she?"


    The doctor cast a stony nce at him. "Are you the patient''s husband?"


    "I..." Ron opened liis mouth but he couldn''t seem to find a proper answer for that.


    "How could you be so careless?! The patient is pregnant. You should be mindful of what she eats at all


    times!" The doctor lectured Ron in a stem voice.


    Ron was in a state of shock. "Pregnant? She''s pregnant?!"


    "You were unaware?" The doctor looked at him skeptically.


    Ron was rendered speechless, yet again.


    I truly had no idea, but that''s not what''s important now.


    He quickly asked the doctor, "Is she alright, then?"


    "The patient is fine. However, she''s suffering from very severe symptoms of contractions after having


    ingested medication that would induce miscarriage. We can only tiy our best and do everything we can


    to help her." The doctor gave a deep sigh and walked away.


    Ron tightened his fists and sweat broke out all over his back.


    I had no idea that Leah was pregnant. If I did. I would not have attended the auction with her, in the first


    ce.


    However, why would she suddenly suffer from symptoms of miscarriage when she was just sitting


    quietly in her seat earlier? Moreover, she hadn''t had a single drop of liquor tonight.


    It was almost dawn when the doctors finally exited the emergency room. They appeared more rxed


    than how they were a few hours ago.


    Leah was lying motionlessly on a hospital bed as she was still under sedation. She had tubes all over


    her. and she was as white as a sheet.


    Ron followed behind the group of doctors as they transferred Leah to a hospital ward.


    "Could you step outside with me for a bit?" One of the doctors took a nce at Leah and asked Ron.


    Just as the two of them went out of the room, Leah opened her eyes. She spotted the drip connected to


    her hand and felt extremely weaiy. Then, she lifted her eyes and stared nkly at the ceiling.


    Once Ron had closed the door behind him, he hurriedly asked the doctor. "Is the baby alright?"


    He looks like a total yboy. That thought urred to the doctor as he stared at Ron''s face. The doctor


    nodded. "The mother was extremely lucky. You got her to the hospital soon enough for us to give her


    proper treatment. Also, she only ingested the harmful medication in a minute amount, so we managed


    to keep the baby safe."


    Ron breathed a sigh of relief.


    I could hardly imagine how devastated Leah would be if she were to lose her child.


    "However..." The doctor had a grim look as he furrowed liis brows. "Though the baby is safe now, the


    mother has unfortunately suffered irreversible damage to her body due to this incident. There is a high


    risk of postpartum bleeding when she delivers the baby. Also, she probably wouldn''t be able to have


    another child after that."


    Ron''s expression hardened upon hearing the news.


    I''m not sure how well Leah will take the news that she probably can''t have another baby in the future.


    The only thing I''m certain about is that she is in very bad shape now. There is a high risk of postpartum


    bleeding when she goes intobor... That means the baby might not even survive the delivery.


    In other words, we''ve only managed to keep the baby alive for now. There''s no telling what would


    happen until the baby is bom.


    "You should look after the mother well and make sure that something like this doesn''t happen again."


    The doctor said with a serious expression on liis face. Then, he patted Ron on the shoulder lightly and


    walked away.

    Ron went out of the hospital to have a smoke. He stood outside for quite a while.


    When he had returned to the ward, he found Leah staring expressionlessly at the ceiling.


    "You''re up? Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?" Ron forced a smile and asked in a


    seemingly calm manner.


    Upon hearing his voice. Leah turned her head slowly and met Ron''s gaze.


    "Ron." Her voice was croaky and gravelly. "Is my child alright?"


    Ron poured some water into a cup and carefully held the straw up for her. He said smilingly, "Your child


    is alright, of course! There''s nothing to worry about. By the way, how could you hide such big news


    from me? Who is the father of your baby? Is it Ian?"
