Chapter 141 Bleeding
“I’m fine wis just a bit stressed from work. Yours carry on chatting.“I responded casually and closed the door
I then made a simple dinner for me. I didn’t have much appetite, so 1 kept it light just as I was about to eat, the doorbell rang again.
Ichecked who was–itas C
If it were Ashley er ny, Tould ignore them. But with Clarence, Ecouldn’t pretend not to be home.
“M. Sadler, how about joining us for dinner?” Cluence asked with a friendly smile when I opened the door.
“No, thanks. I’m already eating. But appreciate the offer,” I politely declined.
“Come on, join us. I thought Rowan would come over, but he had to cancel at the last minute made quite a bit of food, and it’d be ashame to waste” Clarence looked a bit
helpless
I didn’t care much about wasting a bit of food, so I started to refuse again.
“Clarence, why invite hen? Let’s just eat by ourselves. We don’t need someone ruining our appetite.” pay appeared at the door, her tone dripping with disdain…
I stopped myself mid–sentence and looked at this clown with indifference.
“Joy, don’t say that. hory hasn’t been well lately. You shouldn’t be so harsh.” Ashley stepped in to stop joy from targeting me.
with such a kind and gentle demeanor, who wouldn’t like her?
Jay was indignent: “Ashley, why do you keep defending her? So what if she’s not well? Is what she has worse than your heart condition? She newly caused you to be hospitaliond and you’re still being considerate of her?”
Hearing this, Clarence looked surprised. “Ashley’s heart problem is related to Ms.Sader?!
“Of counsel She upset Ashley so much that her emotions get out of control. This caused her heart condition to rep. Normally, Ashley is so calm. How else could this happen?” Joy became more animated as shespoke
danor’s gazeshifted from disbelied to a hint of blame as he looked at me.
1 found it amusing at a few words and his impression of me changed?
If that was the case, it was even botos,
I raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, do you still want me to join?se, come over now, since I haven’t made much food.”
Clarence hesitated, but Ashley said, “Ivory, please join us for dinner.“”
“Yeah, let’s all eat together.beagood chance to close up any misunderstandings,” Clarence finally–agreed.
1 picked up my phone and didn’t refuse again. Then, followed them to Chee’s place for dinner.
Ashley flashed a sweet, innocent smile at me, looking genuinely pleased. She even tried to take my hand. “Come on, hory.”
I subcly avoided her hand and went straight to the dining table after entering the place.
Clarence had indeed prepared a feast. The table was filled with delicious–looking dishes.
“Holdon, there’s some soep in the kitchen’ll go get it,” he said, heading to the kitchen.
As soon as Clarence went to the kitchen, Joy followed him. I was left alone with Ashley at the table,
The smell of steamed fish today made me nauseous, and it showed on my face.
“hay, are you okay? You look a bit pole,” Ashley asked softly.
“It’s nothing stood up and said coldly, “I don’t like these dishes. You guys go ahead and eat. I’m heading back,
Ineeded to lembrethrew up.
Sering this, Ashley stood up and grabbed my hand, “hory, let’s just eat together We don’t need to keep
understanding each other. Rowan and -ah!”
Thadn’t done anything, but Ashley suddenly fell to the floor with a load cry. She clutched her chest as if the was in pain.
“Ashley!” Rowan’s voice rang out from the doorway. Ith face was full of concem as he rushed over to her
He completely bypassed me and went straight to check on Ashley
Clarence and Joy came running out from the kitchen, looking shocked
“What happened?” Clence asked
“It’s not very’s fault. It’s my weakhealth.” Ashley trembled as she pointed to her bag. “My medicine.”
Joy immediately grabbed the medicine from Ashley’s bag and helped her take it. Then she turned on me angrily.
“What did you do to her this time? Do you keep bullying her just because she’s kind–hearted?”
“didn’t do anything “Lexhaled deeply, my gar sedan Ashley “Ashley, shouldn’t you explain yourself?”
“hers, I’m not blaming you know you didn’t mean to push me. Row, please don’t be upset.”
Ashley’s words sounded like she was defending me but effectively pinned the blame on me…
Bowmlocked up at me, his dark eyes filled with a mix of There was a hunt of blame much like clarence seule look.
“I saw what happened.” Rowan’s voice was cold and cutting
it was just one sentence, but his words hit harder than sledgehammer.
Halley seemed beleflydelighted, a flicker of pussing her face that only teated. But she quickly turned into a plate of helplessness.
Chapter 141 Bleeding
She clutched her chest and sobbed, “I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Ivory..”
“Enough. Let’s get to the hospital!” Rowan scooped Ashley up and rushed out. Clarence and Joy followed them anxiously, leaving me standing there alone.
The doctor had warned me to keep my emotions in check, as excessive stress could trigger uterine contractions and jeopardize the baby. But right now, I couldn’t control my feelings. The frustration and pain welled up inside me like a storm. 1 took a deep breath and started to head back to my place.
Just as I stepped out the door, a sharp pain hat my lower abdomen. It was an ominous sensation, making me feel something was seriously wrong
I wanted to call for an ambulance or Ivan, but Rowan was the closest I tried calling him, hoping he could take me to the hospital as he was headed the same way.
The call connected, but he hung up on me almost immediately. A chill ran through my heart. With no time to dwell on it, I dialed the emergency number again.
Barely moments after Ashley left, I found myself rushed to the hospital. My pregnancy had already been unstable, and now, I was back here on the first day after being discharged.
The doctor sighed after examining me. “Ms. Sadler, you need to be hospitalized long–term to keep the baby. But the chances are slim. You’ll have to make a decision.”
Iclenched my fists, my eyes stinging with tears. “Admit me, please, Doctor, Do everything you can to save my baby!”
Since I had no immediate family around, the doctor told me to call someone who could help with my care and handle the necessary paperwork.
I was desperate, but I still somehow managed to contact van.
He rushed over as soon as possible, but his expression was grim when he saw me hooked up to an IV. “Are you trying to torture yourself to death?
“No. Perhaps this baby was never meant to be, but I want to try to keep her.” I smiled bitterly from my hospital bed.
I tried not to think about the image of Rowan leading with Ashley or the call he had coldly hung up on. Dwelling on it would only worsen my mood. I didn’t tell Ivan about any of it. Recounting it would mean reliving that pain.
“Aren’t you planning to tell your family about this?” van asked in a serious tone. “How long do you intend to keep it from them? This isn’t a minor issue. It’s a matter of life and death”
Sering his stern look, I felt a little worried. If my parents found out
But Ivan was right. Keeping this secret wouldn’t do any good.
“I’ll tell them in the next few days,” I said. “I’ll find a way to break the news to them.”
“Alright.” Ivan’s expression was neutral, and he simply said, “Focus on getting better.“
For the sake of my baby, I was determined to take care of myself. As I lay there, my mind kept spinning on how to tell my parents about my pregnancy.
Unexpectedly, before I could speak to my family, Ashley showed up again a few days later.
Ashley entered the room in a wheelchair with joy pushing her. In just a few days, she looked even paler and more fragile, a far cry from her previously healthy and vibrant self
Rowan wasn’t with her. No one had informed him I was in the hospital, and he hadn’t contacted me at all.
Thad no idea how Ashley found out I was here.
One thing was clear–I didn’t want to see her.
“You both need to leave. Right now,” I said coldly, not wanting them around
“Ivory, I’m here to say goodbye,” Ashley said with a frown and a weak voice. “I can’t hold on much longer. Rowan’s already in Dalloria arranging my hospital stay for me. As soon as it’s ready, I’ll be heading there”
I didn’t respond. Her fate was her own, and it had nothing to do with me. Rowan’s concern for her was enough.
And honestly, I couldn’t really blame Town. I was the one who initiated the divorce. I hid the pregnancy from him, leaving him no room to choose. Since he decided to be with Ashley after the divorce, it made sense that she would be his priority now
Sering I wasn’t going to respond, Ashley turned to joy and said, “Joy, I want to speak to ivory alone. Could you step out for a moment?”
Joy gave me a wary look but nodded and stepped out, closing the door behind her.
With just the two of us left in the room, Ashley suddenly broke into a smile. The gleam of triumph in her eyes caught me off guard.
Chapter 141 Miscarriage
“wory, are you seeing this clearly? I’m the one Raivan loves.”
Her face was no longer pale, and it was now radiant. “Look how panicked he was this time. He immediately arranged for me to have surgery in Dalleria, and he’s covering all the expenses. Even accompany me”
It perplexed. What was she trying to prove by daunting this to me?
Iwan had initiated the divorce and she had come to boast in front of me, that would have made sense. But the reality was that I had dumped Rowan. I also made it clear didn’t care who he was with.
So why did Ashley keeping?
“So I won’t let you in my happiness.” Ashley’s smile gradually faded as she looked up at the medicine bottle. “Are you trying to protect your pregnancy
At that montent, a strong mease gripped me. The corgiver I’d hired had gone out to buy fruit, and haan could only visit atter work each day.
I wasn’t sure it Ashley knew about my pregnancy before, but it seemed she had found out
Honestly, that wasn’t hard for her.
Without hesitation, I reached out to press the call button.
But Ashley suddenly stood up. She swiftly grasped my hand, then placed her hand on my shoulder and waist before I could react.
The next moment, she pushed me off the bed, and I landed heavily on the floor Apaintul scream escaped my throat, and blood pushed out from between my legs!
“your sweet dreams of using the child as levenge are shattered now!” Ashley looked down at me. I was curled up in pain on the flour, she was indifferent to my suffering, and she sailed a victorious smile
Shortly after, Joy burst in to check on the situation. Ashley was already back in the wheelchair, clutching her chest. She wore a primed expression as she said, “joy, hvory suddenly fell off the bed Quickly, call a doctor. My my chest hurts so much..!!
“What? You’re hunting again? Let’s get a doctor Joy completely ignored me, pushing Ashley out to help
soon, footsteps approached, and doctors and nurses rushed into the room. They swiftly led me back onto the bed and been their esamination.
My vision blurred, and my consciousness slipped away. A piercing ringing filled my ears, and the knew nothing more.
“Honey, look how much he looks like you. Such beautiful eyes!
1 couldn’t tell how much time had passed when I heard a voice, and slowly opened my eyes.
I found myself back at Windwill Estate. Under the glaring sun, the garden bloomed with vibrant flowers, and that sweet mice echoed from there.
A woman’s figure was bathed in a faint golden glow. Her hair was pinned up with abarp, and she wore a light and graceful white silk dress. She was also credingachid.
Beside her, Rowan was in a gray–striped shirt. He had rolled up his sleeves and reached out with strong arms to take the child. A gentle smile graced his face, softening the typically cold case of his eyes, which now pleamed with tenderness
He kissed the child gently and sand, “Yeah Looks just like you”
Was this nowan and chley’s life after marriage fee my past lie? How did I end up here? Wasn’t pregnant too? Where was my child?
Itouched my abdomen, but there was nothing. There wasn’t even a hint of a bump
Fear gripped me, and I suddenly shouted, “Rawan, where’s my child?
Rowan turned to look at me upon hearing my voice, but I couldn’t see his eyes clearly. The woman beside him als urned to faceme
At that moment, fro
That was me!
She looked at me and smiled slightly. Then, abright white light enveloped everything.
Tjobed awake, staring at the familiar pale pink orling, gradually returning to my senses
tblinked, still dazed, und Rowan’s hoarse voices
sounded in myear.
Mechanically, Itumed to look at him. His brow was furrowed, and there were dark circles under his eyes. There were stubbles on his chin as The had been up all night
It was the first time he called me “by.” It was a very intimate nickname.
“How’s my child? My mind was blank except for this question.
Rowan’s Adam’s apple bobbod. His eyes were slightly reddened, showing confusion and pain.
“Why didn’t you tell me? I know we’re divorced, but are you cruelly denying me the right to be a father? Is this your revenge on me?
“Lasked about the child.”
I didn’t want to discuss anything else as long as I didn’t hear how the child was.
“You fell off the bed, and the child didn’t make it.” Rowan lowered his gaze. Each word he uttered felt like a knife stabbing into my heart.
In all my two lifetimes, I had never felt so lost and helpless. It was as if the last ray of light in my life had been extinguished.
Suddenly, surge of murderous intent welled up inside me.
I wanted to kill Ashley!
Tripped the need from my hand, got out of bed without a word, and started putting on my shors. Ashley must also be in this hospital. She was likely hospitalized here. Rowan immediately get up and grabbed my hand. “Lie down and rest your condition right now is trible!”
