Chapter 88: Why Did She Bleed So Much?


    Then he whispered to the nurse beside him, “Call the police. I suspect that thisdy was abused.”


    “Okay!” The nurse nodded and immediately ran to the nursing station to call the police.


    Estelle was intubated on the bed, and the ECG monitor beside showed all her vital signs.


    Her blood pressure had dropped severely to less than 100 mmHg and was still dropping. And her


    clothes and the bed sheet werepletely soaked in blood, which looked shocking.


    ‘Why did she bleed so much? What exactly had happened to her?’ Cristofer thought.


    Seeing Estelle’s pale face and bloodless lips, he felt distressed. Besides, her eyes were closed


    tightly, making him feel as if she had been dead.


    Cristofer shook his head and didn’t dare to think more.


    “Excuse me, please. We need to send thisdy to the emergency room immediately,” the nurse said


    as she pushed him away. Then she asked the others to push the transport stretcher into the


    emergency room quickly.


    After the door of the emergency room was closed, the light with the words “In Operation” above the


    door was on.

    It was already after midnight when Reba got the news and arrived at the hospital.


    She was in such a hurry that she didn’t even have time to park the car in the parking lot and rushed


    to the emergency room directly.


    Then she saw Cristofer sit in a corner outside the emergency room with his head lowered and his


    eyes closed. His hand covering his face, he looked depressed and in pain.


    When seeing him, Reba felt a sudden surge of anger and pped him hard across his face.


    “Cristofer, what did you do to Estelle?” she snapped.


    Cristofer, who was still numb and shocked because of Estelle, was expressionless and didn’t


    respond. His face tilted to one side after he was pped, and his eyes were dull.


    “You are finally here,” Cristofer took a deep breath and said. “Tell me, what’s wrong with Estelle?”


    Reba roared with anger, “It’s none of your business. Estelle doesn’t need your concern.”


    “Tell me!” He snarled. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    “I won’t tell you!” Reba responded angrily and then anxiously looked in the direction of the


    emergency room.


    Cristofer felt as if he was almost driven mad. He stared at her, and his countenance shifted softly,


    “Tell me. Reba, I beg you. Please tell me what on earth Estelle has...”


    Reba quickly pushed him away, rolled her eyes at him in disgust, and said in a deep voice, “I


    don’t know what was wrong with her either. When she had an attack, she sweated all over in pain,


    and her face turned pale. She said that she had an appendectomy before, but I think that she was


    lying. Since she didn’t want to tell me the truth, I didn’t ask more. You should know her better than I


    do. If she doesn’t want to let us know something, no matter how many times we ask her, she won’t


    tell us the truth.”


    Hearing this, Cristofer took a step back subconsciously in disbelief and leaned against the wall


    behind him dejectedly.


    ‘What’s wrong with her? Nowadays, appendectomy is minimally invasive, and the incision is small.


    Why did she bleed so much?’


    It suddenly urred to him on the night a year ago, he also saw blood on the bed sheet after he


    slept with Estelle.


    At that time, Estelle said that she had undergone hymenorrhaphy, and the blood was from her


    private parts.


    And he didn’t suspect her at all and even felt disgusted with her when hearing her words.


    After that, he left without mercy and didn’t go back home for a long time.


    Later, Estelle threatened him with Gretchen’s life and asked him to go home and watch the stars


    with her.


    While Cristofer recalled the past, a voice suddenly obtruded upon his thoughts.


    “Who is Estelle’s family?” The door of the emergency room was opened, and a doctor came out with


    a serious look. And his surgical gloves were covered with blood.


    “I’m her friend!” Reba ran over and asked, “How is she now?”


    “Friend? Where’s her family? The patient is in danger now, and we are trying our best to save her.


    We need her family to sign on the critically ill notice,” the doctor informed.


    Hearing this, Cristofer walked over. “Doc, I’m her husband.”


    The doctor handed him the critically ill notice and said, “Your wife had lung surgery before. What


    illness had she got?”


    Cristofer was shocked. “Lung surgery?”


    “You don’t know that?” the doctor asked with a frown.


    Cristofer was speechless. He indeed didn’t know about it. Estelle had never told him that she had


    such a major operation.


    It’s been a month since she gave birth to Yvonne. When did she have lung surgery?


    “What would be the possible reason that she had the lung surgery?” Cristofer asked.


    The doctor said conservatively, “We’re not sure yet. I’ve checked her up just now and found that a


    large part of her lung was excised. She can’t do strenuous exercise and can’t be emotional, or she


    will be breathless. This is not the point. The point is that the incision on her chest is big. After the


    operation, she should lie on the bed for some time and rest for recuperation. You didn’t take care of


    her, right?”


    Cristofer didn’t know how to answer him. He didn’t even know Estelle had surgery.


    “She is very likely to have cancer,” the doctor’s voice came again. “But we still need to wait for the


    pathological test results toe out to confirm it. Sir, don’t you know that your wife is seriously ill?”


    “I...”


    “ording to my experience, I’m afraid she’s at the advanced stage of cancer. Do you know how


    much pain a patient at the advanced stage of cancer has to suffer? When she has an attack, the


    pain in her chest will be unbearable. You are her husband. Didn’t you notice anything wrong with


    her before?”


    “Cancer...” Cristofer murmured in astonishment and felt a chill all over.


    ‘Estelle has cancer? How could it be? She’s only twenty-six years old and is still young.’


    Reba, who was standing aside, was also shocked, with her mouth wide open. After a long time,


    she asked, “Doctor, do you mean that Estelle has suffered lung cancer?”


    The doctor nodded and said, “Yes. If she doesn’t have cancer, there is no reason for her to have


    surgery to remove such arge part of her lung. By the way, do you know what medicine she


    usually takes?”


    Hearing this, Cristofer had mixed feelings. He didn’t even know that Estelle had to take medicine.


    “I know that!” Reba said at once. “Doctor, I’ve seen her medicine bottle. I remember the words


    on it.” Then she typed a few words on her phone and showed them to the doctor. “Look. These are


    the words on the bottle. She told me before that it was just vitamins, not medicine.”
