Chapter 558 High Risk of Miscarriage
“Matt, how’s Roni doing?” “Miss Murphy… She should be fine.” “President Kings, Roni’s pregnant, so why didn’t you keep a closer eye on her?”
“I’m s-sorry… Matt, I-I… I didn’t mean it.” Four of them walked toward Matthew and stood in front of him as they expressed themselves, one after the other.
As soon as Sasha said that, Shirley instantly turned her head and glared at her. “What do you mean by you didn’t mean it? You’re just jealous of Roni and President Kings’ close relationship because you’re in love with him. You can’t have him, so that’s why you’ve taken action against Roni, huh? You’re such a vicious woman!”
Shirley regarded Veronica as her family member, so she could not stand by and watch her be bullied. That was why Shirley loathed Sasha so much that she was angered beyond words.
“Who do you think you are? You’ve got no right to point fingers at me!” Sasha did not mind being told off by the gang, but she could not stand being chided by an outsider.
“What difference does that make? Anyone who harms Roni is my enemy too! Sasha, I’m warning you, if anything bad happens to the child Roni’s carrying, then I won’t let you get away with this!” Shirley’s anger grew as she spoke and her voice became shriller.
Sasha also vented her simmering anger upon being pointed at and scolded viciously, so she reached out to shove Shirley. “B*tch! Who do you think you are to yell at me—”
“Hey! Hey! Hey! Sasha, what are you doing?”
Skyler, who was standing by Shirley’s side, saw her being shoved once again and she nearly stumbled to the ground. He instinctively wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her behind him protectively. He frowned. “You’re a woman too, so why are you making things tough for another woman?”
“Oh! So, she’s the woman who seduced you, huh?”
A realization suddenly dawned upon Sasha. “No wonder you’re bold enough to yell at me. It’s because you’ve found someone to back you up, huh?” Sasha mocked Shirley displeasedly, but heart ached slightly. In the past, the four of them had the closest relationship, but now, Matthew sided with Veronica while Skyler stood on Shirley’s side. What about me? she wondered who would actually show concern for her.
“Get out of the room if you guys are going to keep this up!”
Matthew, who was sitting on the bench, brewed a cold look in his eyes and scanned everyone in the room. Feeling the oppressing energy, the noisy ones instantly shut up and no one dared to utter another word.
Still, Shirley continued to glare at Sasha discontentedly and her chest heaved up and down in anger.
On the other hand, Skyler noticed that Shirley’s angry look resembled a wild feline that had its claws out in an attack mode, so he found her rather adorable. He reached out to pat her on the shoulders to indicate for her to calm down.
Meanwhile, there was a glint in Caleb’s clear eyes as he caught sight of that before lifting a brow questioningly. Ooh, something is going on here.
The corridor descended into silence and each of them remained standing or sitting without speaking a word. After waiting for an eternity, the lights of the operation theater finally dimmed.
The door was opened from the inside and Veronica was wheeled out of the operation theater as the doctor trailed behind. Instantly, Matthew dashed forward and asked the doctor frantically, “Doc, how’s my wife doing?”
Wife?! Sasha’s eyes widened in shock and she could not help but turn to look at Matthew. The grip she had on her bag tightened and she felt her heart sink as a cold feeling washed all over her. They had not even signed the marriage papers yet, but he had already addressed Veronica as his wife! There was a wave of agony that hit her and she felt her entire body convulse from the pain.
In truth, Sasha was deeply infatuated with Matthew and had even transitioned for him; her love for him was a stubborn obsession to the point of insanity. She had gone through so many difficulties to finally stand next to him. Just as she was about to reach the finish line, she found herself utterly defeated by Veronica.
The feeling of defeat hit her hard and pounded on her rational mind. At that moment, she was in a despondent state. However, shortly after that, she found herself unwilling to accede defeat and accept the fact that she had lost to Veronica. She was also unwilling to accept that Matthew now belonged to Veronica.
As such, the hatred within her grew immensely and for a moment there, the emotions she harbored took over her mind as it filled itself with wicked plots.
“The patient had originally suffered from a tough pregnancy; now that she suffered a blow to her womb, she is at a high-risk of miscarriage. I would recommend that she remains on bed rest in the hospital under observation.”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Matthew’s heart clenched and his brows remained tightly furrowed as his trembling lips could not quite come up with any words to say.
