“Okay. I'll be there soon.” After ending the call, Rowena hailed a cab and went straight to the hospital. In the hospital, Camila grabbed the doctor’s hand as she lay on the operating table. “Are my children still alive?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Based on the results of the examination, one of your children was confirmed to be dead. The other one could be saved, though, if you want.”
Camila’s face went completely white upon hearing the devastating news She parted her dry and bleeding lips and replied in a hoarse voice, “Yes. Yes, please, save my child.”
The doctor nodded.
“I'll try my best.” There was nothing to doubt about the doctor’s efficiency because he was the head gynaecologist at the Military Central Hospital.
Forrest was a thoracic surgeon, so he could not help Camila. Therefore, he looked for the most qualified gynaecologist in the area to provide care for her.
When he went to her aid earlier, he realized how dire her current situation was. That was why he could not help but pace back and forth worriedly outside the operating room.
Camila was still in the operating room when Rowena arrived at the hospital.
She approached Forrest and asked, “What happened to her? How did she get hurt?” Forrest did not know what exactly happened either
He did know how badly injured Camila was, but he did not tell Rowena about it. He was aware that the older woman had recently been sick and should not be exposed to such awful news.
Instead, he said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Haynes. Camila will be fine.”
His answer did not make Rowena any less worried. She grimaced. “This is all my fault. Camila is suffering right now because of
me. If she had made up her mind sooner and split up with Marvin, things might have been better for her daughter. Now, she did not even know how serious Camila’s injury was.
More than an hour later, the operation was completed successfully.
The only part of Camila that was spared was her face; the rest of her body was covered in wounds. She looked extremely frail as she Lay on the bed.
Rowena walked up to her with bloodshot eyes and whispered, “Mila.” Camila did not want to worry her mother further, so she smiled weakly and reassured, “I’m fine. Don’t worry. Have you been released from the hospital?” Rowena nodded.
“Mom, I’LL transfer money to your account. Go and find a hotel to stay in. Get some rest. Forrest will take care of me.” She was trying to get her mother to leave.
Rowena took her hand and said, “I’m worried about you, Mila. Earlier, Aldrin hit someone while driving your car. | don’t know what happened after that, but you might get accused of something you didn’t do. The car is yours, after all.”
Suddenly, realization flashed in Camila’s eyes. For a while, she could not say anything. Then, her Lashes fluttered as her eyes threatened to close.
“| see.. Everything will be fine, Mom. Go to the hotel now. If you stay here with me, I’ll just worry about you. | won’t be able to rest properly.”
