Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 878

The black banquet was galloping on the street.

It had only been ten minutes since they left the shore, but every minute felt like a year for Simon. He stepped on the gas and ran two stoplights in a row. However, no matter how fast he drove the car, there was nothing he could do when they had been held up in traffic.

He turned up the heat at full blast. But Emily, who was sitting aside, was still shivering.

Emily curled into a ball. Simon held her white hands firmly while she also gripped his so tightly that even her knuckles turned white.

It seemed that she felt something was going seriously wrong. She closed her eyes and kept mumbling, "My baby..."

Simon leaned close to her and finally heard her words.

"Simon, save the baby, our baby..." Her lips were trembling as she begged piteously. Her hair on the forehead and temples was damp with sweat and river water. Her trembling voice sounded so earnest. "Please! Please save our baby..."

Her piteous look wrenched Simon's heart, but he could not do anything for her at this moment. He kept kissing her hand and tried to comfort her with words. "I will! Don't be afraid. Our baby will be fine! We are on the way to the hospital. I am a doctor. I will save our baby. Believe me!"

"Baby. Save our baby..."

Emily, who had already collapsed on the co- pilot seat, murmured it again and again for a long time.

Gradually, she seemed to have lost her consciousness, streaks of damp hair plastered to her face. She was in such a mess as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Well, Simon indeed had just rescued her from the river.

When he thought of the scene that she was sinking into the river, Simon felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Unlike these shallow artificial lakes, the fast-rolling river was deep and bottomless. If he hesitated a little or moved slightly slower, she would sink deeper and face an even more dangerous situation.

Simon kept a tight grip on her ice-cold fingers but failed to warm her hands up. He could only hope that he could drive faster and faster!

Simon kept a tight grip on her ice-cold fingers but failed to warm her hands up. He could only hope that he could drive faster and faster! Finally, Simon saw the hospital ahead...

With a sudden brake, he stopped the car before the door of the emergency building. He had informed the hospital in advance, so nurses and doctors were already there waiting for them with a stretcher. Simon jumped out of the car, put Emily on the stretcher, and strode inside.

The director of obstetrics and gynecology had been waiting at the door of the operating room. As he saw Simon, he said, "Simon, wait outside!"

Then, the green light above the door of the operation room was turned on, indicating that the operation began.

Simon stood in the corridor with his hands down. The blood between his fingers had dried up, and he still could not bend his trembling fingers.

Both his wide-opened grey coat and shirt were dyed red by Emily's blood. The blood mixed with the water from the river dropped onto the ground, making many pink marks resemble lotus flowers. What a horrifying scene it was!

Simon had been a heart surgeon for many years and had performed countless surgeries on many different operating tables, so he had become numb with blood since long ago. However, at this moment, a horrible feeling he had never felt in his life came over him.

"My baby..."

"Save our baby..."

Simon broke out in a cold sweat that wrapped him up. A chill overwhelmed his heart.

He told her that their baby could be saved in the car, but he just said that to comfort her. Even he was not sure if their baby could be saved or not.

There was so much blood. Simon thought that they might lose their baby this time...

His Adam's apple moved, and he did not dare to think about it anymore.

Simon stepped back and leaned against the white wall. Slowly, he bent his back, squatted down, and curled up in a tight ball. He buried his handsome face between his knees, with his hands crossed under his head.

One hour, two hours, and three hours...

Eventually, the closed operating room door opened.

As the director came out, he staggered to his feet. His legs were numb because Simon had been squatting there for too long.

As he gazed into the eyes of the director, his heart instantly fell.

"She is all right, but the baby..."

The director took off his mask, shook his head with a long sigh, and said, "I'm sorry, we have tried our best! We could not save the baby because its heart had stopped beating when she was sent here. Since the baby was more than fifteen weeks old, we decided that it was best to induce labor for her!"

Hearing the sentence of their baby's death, Simon could no longer stand up straight.

He froze there like a dummy, his back crooked a little and his eyes fixed on the director. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, and a large teardrop fell down...

The director had been responsible for checking Emily's body since she was pregnant. Now that she encountered such a sudden accident, the director also felt very sad for them. He patted Simon's shoulder and said, "Simon, you are a young couple and can have another baby in the future! I know that you must feel very sad in your heart, but you have to cheer up. When Mrs. Chin wakes up, she still needs your consolation!"

Simon's Adam's apple moved, but he was unable to make any sound.

Two nurses at either end of the bed pushed Emily out, and the director leaned to one side to let them pass. Emily had not yet come round after the anesthetic. At this time, she was lying on the bed as quietly as if she were a corpse.

Simon looked at her being sent to the senior ward and then turned to a smoking area halfway.

His ears were buzzing, and he saw double. He thought that he was severely in need of some nicotine to relax. Subconsciously, he reached out to his pocket and suddenly remembered that he had not smoked for a long time. The cigarette case and lighter were all in the drawer of the kitchen.

At this time, someone handed him one cigarette.

Simon slowly raised her peach blossom eyes and saw his good friend Charlie was holding a cigarette and a lighter. He almost forgot that Charlie and Wendy were here.

He was supposed to take Emily to Charlie's home for dinner. The purpose of this meal was very simple - to ease the tension between him and Emily. Recently, Emily had been treating Simon with indifference. What was worse, their baby was gone now...

They...

Simon lit up the cigarette with his trembling hands and began to smoke as heavily as a junkie would do.

Charlie in a black suit stood next to him. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, but he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he offered Simon another cigarette as he finished the one in his hand.

In such a tragedy, any comforting words were weak. Besides, it seemed that Charlie could not replace any excuses to console him.

On the way to the hospital, Emily begged him so bitterly. Now how could he tell the sad news to her?

Simon wanted to calm himself down as soon as possible. The director had just told him to comfort his wife when she woke up.

However...

Since he could not even comfort himself, how could he comfort her?

He was so sad that he could hardly breathe. No longer could he stand still, and so he held on to the while wall to stop himself from falling down to the ground.

It was the first time that he was going to be a father!

But his fervent hope fell through...
