Chapter 2 Reunion
593 Words
After delivering her final words with her last breath, Sheila felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, followed by her vision going black.
Unable to endure the torment any longer, she fainted and collapsed onto the cold floor.
Blood rapidly spread from beneath her, and the strong scent of it quickly filled the hospital room!
Witnessing Sheila's pitiful state, Marion’s lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Divorce! Very good, Sheila. At least you’re smart enough to know when to quit!" She crossed her arms, eyes brimming with disdain.
Having achieved her goal, she didn’t wish to cause further trouble for herself, so she turned off the live stream and left the hospital room.
Moments later, a nurse entered to check on the patients and discovered Sheila lying in a pool of blood. "Quick, someone come! The parturient has collapsed!"
The young nurse screamed loudly, and soon several doctors rushed in, swiftly transporting her to the operating room!
"Quick, clamps!"
"She’s hemorrhaging! Stop the bleeding immediately!"
In her hazy state, Sheila slightly opened her eyes, catching sight of the glaring white light above her as the voices around her grew increasingly muffled.
She scoffed bitterly to herself.
Lying on the cold operating table, risking her life to give birth to that man’s child, yet he had heartlessly abandoned her and their child to rush to his injured lover!
How cruel fate could be!
"Waa! Waa—"
A loud infant cry interrupted her thoughts. Her child was born!
Her gaze slowly turned towards the small bundle beside her.
Looking at the child’s features, which were strikingly similar to that man’s, a shadow passed over Sheila’s gentle gaze.
This... was her and Jacques’s child!
Now, she was a mother, and she had to protect this child well!
Her eyes darkened as Sheila took out her phone and dialed a mysterious number. "Grandfather, it's Sheila. I need your help!"

Six Years Later.
Oakpond Hospital.
"Dr. Jones, the patient in bed five is in critical condition. Dr. White asked you to go check immediately."
"Alright, I'm on my way!"
Having just returned to the country, Sheila rushed to the ward without delay.
Seeing the name on the case file, Sheila was taken aback.
Vivian.
Unexpectedly, the first patient she would handle upon returning to the country turned out to be Vivian!
Sheila examined the medical record and frowned slightly at the mention of 'congenital heart disease'.
'Wasn't it heart failure? How did it deteriorate so quickly in just a few years?'
Sheila asked the nurse, "What’s the patient’s current condition? How long has she been in a coma?"
"It seems she was distressed yesterday and fell into a coma. She received emergency treatment last night, but there are still no signs of waking up."
Sheila glanced at her watch. The patient had been in a coma for less than 24 hours, so the situation wasn't too critical yet.
Then, the young nurse leaned in closer and whispered, "Dr. Jones, this is the patient Mr. Thomas specifically instructed us to take good care of."
Sheila thought to herself, Jacques was still so concerned about Vivian.
However, after six years, it no longer stirred any emotions within her.
Sheila reviewed the allergies and special notes in the medical record while making arrangements and heading out. "The patient’s condition is critical. Prepare for surgery immediately. I’ll be the lead surgeon!"
The man who had reached the end of the corridor heard this voice and suddenly looked up, only to see a familiar figure.
'Sheila! She's back!' He thought.
