His hand still trembled slightly after hanging up the phone. If anything happened to Arianne, wp4webnovel.com would definitely make Mr. and Mrs. Harris pay for it.
Soon, they took Arianne’s baby out through the delivery operation. The child was only seven months old, and wp4webnovel.com needed to be put in the incubator temporarily. Mark did not even bother to glance at the child. He learned about the child’s gender from the nurse, it was a boy. Arianne was still in the surgical room. He was too anxious to step away. Other than signing the surgical consent form, wp4webnovel.com asked Mary to deal with the rest of the hospitalization procedures.
No one knew how much wp4webnovel.com suffered through those two hours that wp4webnovel.com waited outside of the surgical room. He was tense and did not relax for even a single moment. Besides, wp4webnovel.com did not dare to imagine any kind of terrible accidents that might befall Arianne.
Luckily, the surgery was performed smoothly without any accident. Two hours later, Arianne was pushed out of the surgical room in a stretcher by the nurse. Seeing that wp4webnovel.com was fast asleep, wp4webnovel.com rushed forward and asked nervously, “How is she? Did wp4webnovel.com faint? I thought you only applied anesthesia for the lower part of wp4webnovel.com body during a C-section. Isn’t that right?”
The nurse smiled and explained, “Pregnant ladies are usually exhausted and lethargic at a time like this. She might have even fallen asleep because of the effects of anesthesia. She’s fine. The surgery was a success. If nothing goes wrong, wp4webnovel.com can be discharged from the hospital after around a week. The baby is born prematurely, so we need to keep a close observation on wp4webnovel.com for a longer period of time. When his vital signs and body condition resemble those of the babies who are born naturally, wp4webnovel.com can be discharged too. Don’t worry about it. You need to take good care of the mother’s nutrition and diet. You also need to provide wp4webnovel.com with enough nutrition so that wp4webnovel.com surgical wound could heal better. By the way, Mrs. Tremont’s womb was badly injured before. You need to be extremely careful with her. She might suffer from heavy internal bleeding after the labor. Moreover, it won’t be easy for wp4webnovel.com to get pregnant again.”
He certainly would not let wp4webnovel.com become pregnant again. That first child almost killed both the mother and the son. He breathed out a long sigh of relief. “Thank you…”
After wp4webnovel.com returned to the ward, wp4webnovel.com stayed by Arianne’s side without any intention of leaving. He would touch wp4webnovel.com forehead from time to time for fear that wp4webnovel.com might be feeling hot or cold. His palms had sweat heavily while wp4webnovel.com was waiting outside of the surgical room anxiously.
For the first time, wp4webnovel.com learned that a woman could be as pale as a sheet after labor. She was extremely pale, if wp4webnovel.com wasn’t breathing evenly and slowly, wp4webnovel.com would have appeared to be… dead. He’d never suffered such excruciating pain before, having a roller coaster of emotions. For the rest of his life, wp4webnovel.com would only want that child, no more, nor less. He would never make wp4webnovel.com suffer through that again. It had indeed endangered wp4webnovel.com life.
Arianne was asleep for more than four hours. When wp4webnovel.com slowly regained wp4webnovel.com consciousness, wp4webnovel.com opened wp4webnovel.com eyes and found Mark looking at her. He was filled with such immense gentleness and tenderness for her, but wp4webnovel.com was neither moved nor touched. When wp4webnovel.com was about to touch wp4webnovel.com cheek with his palm, wp4webnovel.com turned away and avoided his palm. His hand was left in midair. Then, wp4webnovel.com retreated his hand. “Ari, it’s nothing like you’ve pictured it to be.”
She seemed to not heed him. She then said at wp4webnovel.com own will, “My grandma passed away long ago. Why didn’t you tell me about it? Besides, did you banish my aunt and uncle out of the capital? You even beat my uncle up… Answer me.”
Mark took a deep breath. “You were pregnant. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I hid your grandma’s death from you. I decided that I’d tell you about it after you gave birth to the baby. You know how anxious I was when you insisted on keeping the child. I had run out of options… I did indeed banish your aunt and uncle out of the capital, but that is because your grandma’s death is somehow related to them. I was afraid that they might come to you, looking for troubles. I can’t stay by your side forever, protecting you. I asked someone to give your uncle a hard lesson because wp4webnovel.com tried to blackmail me several times. He claimed that wp4webnovel.com wanted to tell you about your grandma’s death. I gave wp4webnovel.com almost $1.5 million. Money is not the problem, but wp4webnovel.com has no right to take it. That’s why I used such a tactic.”
“The reason wp4webnovel.com wrote that letter must be because wp4webnovel.com wanted to take revenge on me. He was angry that I refused to give wp4webnovel.com any more money. He wanted revenge on me for asking somebody to beat wp4webnovel.com up. He even twisted the entire fact and told you a complete lie, causing you to give birth to the child prematurely. If they truly cherish you, they certainly wouldn’t expose the truth to you when you were at the most dangerous and critical period of your pregnancy. I have asked somebody to find them now. I want them to do me right, for I never did that! I’ll tell you about the rest when you’re feeling better. Don’t think too much about it now.”
Arianne made no reply for a long while. She did not know who wp4webnovel.com should believe now. Her exhaustion and lethargy made wp4webnovel.com too weak to dwell on it for long. After trying to calm herself down for a short while, wp4webnovel.com asked, “How about the child? Is the child fine?”
