Chapter 423 She''s Pregnant


    However, no matter how much she called out, the man lying on the ground still closed his eyes.


    Overwhelming despair instantly hit her, like the whole world had turned ck at that moment.


    She screamed harshly, "Archie-"


    Then all she felt was a rush of blood up to her throat and paining from her stomach. Then


    Darkness came over her eyes, and she passed out.


    ...


    When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a hospital bed.


    As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously felt for her side, but she felt nothing.


    Her heart fluttered as she jumped out of bed and ran outside.


    But she had only reached the door when she was stopped by a doctor, "Hey, what are you doing


    there?"


    Natalia grabbed her in her arms and screamed out of breath, "Where''s Archie? Where is he?"


    The doctor sighed in relief, "You mean the injured man who was brought in with you?"


    Natalia nodded repeatedly, looking desperate, "Where is he? Tell me!"


    "Oh, he''s still in surgery. Hey, you ..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, the woman in front of her was already running out like a gust of


    wind.


    At the door of the operating room on the third floor.


    The light above the operating room was still on when Natalia arrived, signifying that the person inside


    had not yete out and the operation was not yet over.


    People from the Stevenson family were standing there, and behind them were a few serious-looking


    bodyguards.


    In the chairs next to them sat Mrs. Stevenson and Ricky.


    Natalia''s face nched slightly.


    She stumbled over to them, and she didn’t dare to ask Mrs. Stevenson, but grabbed Ricky''s arm and


    asked, "How is he? Is he all right?"


    Ricky frowned at her panic-stricken look, and only after a long time did he said with difficulty, "The


    doctor says his condition is very dangerous, and the chances of saving him are less than ten percent."


    Hearing what he said, Natalia felt her head explode, as if the sky had fallen.


    She staggered back a step and was about to fall over when Ricky was quick enough to catch her.


    "Natalia!"


    Mrs. Stevenson was also startled by the sound and turned her head to look over.


    Natalia shook her head and instantly burst into tears.


    "It''s all my fault. It''s my fault. Why would I be gullible enough to trust someone? Otherwise, this


    wouldn''t have happened, and Archie wouldn''t have been caught off guard and hurt. I''m sorry."


    Seeing how she was in pain, Ricky couldn''t help but feel distressed.


    He said in a deep voice, "Don''t get excited yet. There''s still a ten percent chance. Maybe the doctors


    can save him."


    Mrs. Stevenson also reassured her, "Yes, don''t get too excited, lest you fall down when Archie is


    saved."


    Natalia was helped by them to sit down in a chair.


    Ricky asked, "Natalia, you were there at the time, do you know who the killer is?"


    Natalia''s fingers tightened fiercely as she gripped the armrest.


    Her eyes went cold, and after for a moment, she spoke quietly, "I know."


    "Who?"


    "Her name is Summer, and she''s the best friend I ever thought I''d have in my life. I just didn''t expect ...


    meh!"


    Sheughed at herself, not sure if she wasughing at her naivety and failure as a human being, or at


    the absurdity of the situation.


    Ricky''s eyes, however, widened abruptly.


    He grabbed her arm hard and said in a stern voice, "What did you say? What''s her name?"


    Natalia stared at him coldly andughed harshly, "Summer, that''s her. She called me and lied to me,


    saying she was drunk, and asked me to pick her up. In fact, she had already made up her mind and


    stabbed Archie in the heart when we weren''t looking. She was the one who hurt Archie!"


    Ricky shuddered hard, feeling incredulous.


    He had sent someone to check the surveince after it happened, but the surveince had been


    tampered with and he found nothing.


    Some of the onlookers described what the person looked like, saying only that she was a beautiful


    woman.


    But no one could say exactly what she looked like. Because it happened in such a hurry, and everyone


    only got a glimpse of her while she ran away.


    Because of this, they always thought it was some kind of killer who had been ambushed for a long time


    to assassinate Archie.


    He didn''t expect this person to be ...


    Ricky fell backward hard against the backrest of his wheelchair, and his face went pale.


    The next moment, he directed one of the men who had been following him to push his wheelchair


    quickly outside.


    Natalia watched his back as he hastily left and wondered what was going on.


    But she supposed he had gone to catch the murderer!


    She forced a smile and didn''t think much of it, except that although the corners of her mouth curled up,


    tears welled up in her eyes.


    Just then, a doctor suddenly came downstairs. Seeing her, she called out anxiously, "Oh my, why have


    youe here? I''ve been looking for you for a long time. Your ultrasound hasn''t been done yet! Hurry


    up ande with me."


    Her words made Natalia freeze.


    Ricky, who was having his wheelchair pushed out, paused in ce. He looked back at the doctor with


    shock.


    Natalia said in confusion, "What ultrasound?"


    The doctor frowned, "Don''t you know? You''re pregnant and you''ve had signs of miscarriage before. I


    was going to wait for you to wake up before I gave you an ultrasound, but then you just ran away as


    soon as you woke up. Now hurry up ande with me!"


    Natalia was shocked, and everyone, including Ricky, couldn''t help but stare at her in disbelief.


    The great surprise came with sadness, and she didn''t know whether tough or cry at this moment.


    She slowly stroked her stomach. There was actually a child here.


    It was ... his baby.


    ''Archie, did you hear that? We''re having a baby again. So, you must pull through and live.''


    She couldn''t help but burst into tears again.


    Then, as she stood still, she crouched down and covered her face with her hands, feeling as if a piece


    of her heart had been plucked out and it hurt so much that she couldn’t even breathe.


    There were also tears welling up in Ricky''s eyes.


    He stared at her for a long time before he felt the surge of pain that had stirred in his heart ease a little.


    Then he said in a deep voice, "Natalia, you follow the doctor to the ultrasound first. I''ll take care of the


    rest. There will be no problem."


    With that, he made a phone call. It didn''t take long for a female doctor to walk over.


    "This is my friend, Moon. She is an obstetrician and gynecologist. Moon, the baby in her belly is my


    brother''s. You must take good care of her for me."


    Moon wore ck sses and looked svelte, then she nodded.


    "Okay, I understand. Don''t worry!"


    Only then did Ricky nodded and turned to leave.


    When he had left, Moon went up and said, "Mrs. McCarthy, the child is most important now. You don''t


    want for Mr. McCarthy to hear any bad news when he wakes up, do you?"


    Natalia was stunned, looked up at her, and finally nodded.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Okay, I''ll go with you."


    In the ultrasound room.


    Nataliay on the cold bed and let the cold instrument slide gently over her stomach.


    The fetal heartbeat was disyed on the instrument next to her. The doctor said, "The fetus is a little


    unstable and you are showing some signs of miscarriage, but it''s okay. As long as you take care of


    your emotions during this period and don''t get too excited, it shouldn''t be too much of a problem."
