My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 447
Harley had already decided not to get involved in Thea's life anymore.
However, it seemed that fate had brought them together once again. He didn't expect to see Thea when he was on his way to attend a colleague's call for assistance. He saw her being kicked just as he arrived at the door.
That kick felt like a heavy hammer slamming into his heart with a bang. It was excruciating.
His head was buzzing. Harley couldn't care less anymore as he rushed into the booth.
Finley grabbed a fistful of Thea's hair after kicking her to the ground. All of sudden, he felt a punch on his face. He stumbled backward, head spinning.
He yelled, "Who hit me?"
The next second, Harley threw his police identification card at Finley, saying, "I was the one who hit you. Come and take revenge on me if you want!" After that, Harley punched and kicked him before he could even react. He didn't hold back at a11.
It was his colleagues who rushed into the bar in the end and held him away. Finley covered his head and fled.
Harley then went over to Thea. She had been sitting on the ground in a daze getting kicked by Finley.
He noticed that her forehead was covered with sweat, and her expression was extremely ghastly with her hands on her stomach.
Harley's heart sank and he hurried to help her up, "Are you alright?"
Thea shook her head, "I'm fine."
She struggled to get up and picked up her bag, "Thank you, but I have to go now!"
She didn't expect to run into Harley like this. His seeing the state that she was in that moment was like a slap in her face.
The child was the last thing that she wanted Harley to know about.
However, the pain in her lower abdomen was getting more and more severe. She couldn't endure it anymore, hence she had no choice but to stop and take a break.
Harley could clearly see that the back of her shoulders was trembling slightly because of pain. She was already feeling unwell earlier that day, yet she was still trying to act tough even at this moment. Harley became even more furious thinking of that. He went up to her and grabbed her wrist.
"Follow me to the hospital."
"I don't need your help!" Thea shook him off hurriedly.
Harley gritted his teeth. He rebuked her, "Do you want to die here? Don't you know how ill you look now? Where's your man? Didn't you say that he treats you really well? Why did he let you come out with an old man? Thea, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Thea's face turned grim.
The next second, she put on a wry smile and replied, "Why do you care? Officer Louis, don't get too close to someone like me. You will get infected by my poison!"
She finally gained a little strength as she moved forward again.
However, her vision went black and she passed out to the ground after taking two steps.
Harley was startled. He rushed to her and grabbed hold of her. "Quick, send me to the hospital."
His colleagues picked up his identification card hurriedly and then drove the car over.
Harley only realized how skinny Thea had become after picking her up. She probably weighed at least a dozen pounds less than when he held her the last time.
Was that man even taking care of her well? How could she have lost so much weight?
Harley gritted his teeth, feeling furious and regretful.
He was angry that this silly woman had taken fancy on such a useless man. However, he also regretted not putting up a fight and just letting Thea go to the arms of another man.
After making wild and disorderly conjectures, he finally arrived at the hospital.
Harley told his colleagues to head back to work while he waited outside the emergency room alone.
A nurse soon came out, "You are too careless. How could you let her get kicked like that when she's pregnant? It is a miracle that both the child and she are alright. You should pay more attention next time. This is no joking matter!"
Harley's mind started buzzing again, "What did you say? She's pregnant?"
The nurse nodded and answered, "Yes, she has been pregnant for more than two months!!"
Harley couldn't seem to hear what the nurse was saying after that. Pregnant? Two months?
Didn't they slept with each other two months ago ...
Harley wondered if the child was his. There was a faint glimmer of hope in his heart. He rushed into the ward before he could think about anything else.
Thea had woken up after the emergency treatment was administered, but she was still a little weak, thus she needed to stay in bed.
She had been leaning on the bed and holding her lower abdomen, mixed feelings welling up in her heart. She thought that the child would have been gone with that kick.
For a moment, she had a vicious thought that it might have been a salvation for her if this child was really gone. However, she did not expect this child to survive after experiencing such an event. Was this a chance given to her by God?
At this moment, someone pushed the door open. Harley rushed in.
"Thea..."
Harley looked visibly emotional. His tone was hurried and serious.
Thea was stunned and she removed her hand from her lower abdomen hastily. However, her heart tightened when she saw Harley staring at her lower abdomen. It seemed that he was aware that she was pregnant.
Her heart felt as though it had been pricked by needles.
Harley probably viewed her differently this time, and he must be despising her in his heart right now. He probably thought that she was a filthy woman.
For some reason, Thea felt relieved.
All this time, she had been worried about the way Harley would perceive her.
Now that he was already aware of everything, she didn't have to hide this matter or worry about it anymore, did she?
She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You brought me to the hospital, didn't you? Thank you."
Harley was quiet and he was still staring at her belly.
"Your child... "
Thea's mind was buzzing. She thought that she was already mentally prepared for the worst. However, she got flustered the moment he brought up the child.
She was afraid that he would say that the child was a b*stard, or something along those lines.
She knew that it would hurt so much if those words were to come out of Harley's lips. Therefore, Thea blurted out before Harley could even say anything else, "We're getting married. The child is fine." The words that Harley was about to say were stuck in his throat.
He looked at her in a daze. It seemed as though the most treasured person in his heart had finally left him at this moment. The corner of his lips twitched and he tried to smile.
However, at the end of the day, it was obvious that the smile was forced.
His heart ached tremendously. He finally understood why Amos looked as though he had lost his soul when he lost Eudora back then.
To lose the person one loved the most was worse than losing one's soul.
