Chapter 1318: Have My Leave to Die
Under the glaring white light, the girl’s already fair complexion appeared even more translucent, like a beautiful ice sculpture with faintly visible blue veins beneath her skin. She looked peaceful and serene, but lacked the vitality she usually had.
For some reason, an unprecedented wave of heartache surged in Sam’s chest. He didn’t want her to leave this world and disappear before his eyes.
The cold electronic instruments emitted a soul-stirring sound. As the heart rate curve dropped to its lowest point, the young woman on the bed stopped breathing completely.
“Not good, the patient has no breath.”
No breath meant death.
In an instant, everyone in the emergency room became busy. The doctor pinched Pearl’s philtrum forcefully and instructed the nurse beside him, “Prepare the adrenaline.”
“Yes.”
After the adrenaline was administered, the patient’s heart rate showed some signs of life, though it was still far from a normal heartbeat. To stimulate Pearl’s heart, the doctor performed CPR.
Sam watched anxiously from the side. Though his face appeared calm, his eyes were filled with tension. He was terrified… terrified that Pearl would die.
Determined, he walked to the girl’s side and gently placed her hand on his chest. “Pearl, you can’t die. Have you forgotten our engagement? In a few days, I’m going to marry you. Isn’t that your dream?”
“If you wake up, I promise to take good care of you and never let you suffer again.”
“Please… wake up. Do you know? You’re going to be a mom, and I’m going to be a dad.”
“This is our child. I will love her… and you.”
In a daze, Pearl heard someone speaking by her ear. This person was so annoying, like a fly that wouldn’t let her rest. She was so tired and just wanted to sleep without a care in the world.
Moreover, she saw Giana. Giana was no longer mute; she could speak. Her voice was pleasant as she affectionately linked arms with Pearl and asked why she had come down so suddenly. She wanted to take Pearl to see where she lived now.
Just as Pearl was about to follow Giana to her world, she suddenly recognized the voice by her ear. “It’s Sam! He’s calling my name. I can’t go with you.”
Giana’s face turned very unpleasant. She grabbed Pearl’s arm fiercely and said, “Think carefully. Mr. Hurst doesn’t love you at all. If you go back with him now, you’ll only be bullied.”
“But…”
She couldn’t bear to leave Sam alone up there. How could she be at peace without seeing him one last time?
“Giana, let me see him one last time. I love him so much; I don’t want my life to end with any regrets.”
Hearing this, Giana reluctantly agreed.
As soon as she let go, Pearl ran towards the direction of Sam’s voice. Throughout the process, she kept hearing Sam’s voice. He said she was going to be a mom. He also said he would love her and… the child.
The child!
Pearl froze in place, looking down in shock and disbelief at her still-flat belly. “I… I have a child? How is that possible? Is it true?”
As soon as she placed her hand on her stomach, a cute and tender voice laughed in her ear. “Mommy, mommy… it’s so cold here. Can we go back?”
“Oh my God, are you really my child?”
The adorable little voice firmly replied, “Of course, baby has waited a long time for daddy and mommy.”
“I liked you from the moment I saw you, so I want you to be my mommy.”
“If mommy doesn’t want me, I’ll have to go back to that dark, cold jar.”
What dark, cold jar?
The little voice giggled and gave a somewhat unclear answer that Pearl could only hear bits and pieces of. “Mommy is so silly; of course it’s an urn~”
At that moment, only one thought filled her mind: she couldn’t let her child live in a dark, cold place.
“I’m sorry, baby. It’s all mommy’s fault. I’ll take you back right now; we’ll see daddy soon.”
“I’ve already seen daddy. He has such heavy negative energy; I don’t like it. But since he’s sincere, I’ll reluctantly accept him.”
Pearl was once again surprised.
What was the baby talking about?
When had he seen Sam? And what did he mean by heavy negative energy?
With these questions in mind, Pearl’s heart rate returned to normal levels.
At the same time, everyone in the emergency room breathed a sigh of relief.
The doctor removed his sweat-soaked cap and said with relief, “Fortunately, the patient pulled through. She’s no longer in danger and will wake up on her own after some rest.”
Sam’s white shirt was also soaked through. After thanking the doctor, he moved Pearl to a regular ward.
He didn’t leave immediately but sat by the bed, holding the girl’s delicate hand tightly.
“Miss Pearl, I know you can hear me. Thank you… for staying in this world for me.”
“I don’t know what kind of trauma you’ve experienced before, but I want to tell you-I’m here for everything.”
The next day, bright sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the ward.
Pearl woke up from hunger after lying in bed for a whole day and night. Her stomach growled in protest.
She struggled to sit up against the headboard and took in the luxurious ward around her with a bitter smile.
“My whole life has been either school or hospital; now it’s either home or hospital.”
Pearl remembered arguing with her father before fainting.
Were the Giana sister and baby she saw in her dream real?
And Sam…
Were his words something she dreamed while unconscious or did he really stay with her for a day and night?
She tilted her head in deep thought about what she had seen in her dream.
Suddenly, a graceful white figure appeared at the door. Sam walked in like a ray of sunshine and touched Pearl’s forehead gently.
“You’re finally awake. How do you feel? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”
Pearl stared at him dumbfoundedly, her clear eyes filled with confusion.
Why was he in the ward?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sam found her expression adorable and couldn’t help but poke her cheek.
The girl snapped out of it and immediately threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.
“Thank goodness it’s really you!”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“My biggest regret before dying was not seeing you one last time. Now that I’ve seen you…”
Afraid she would say something ominous, Sam domineeringly lowered his head and covered her lips.
“Even if you’ve seen me, you’re not allowed to die. Do you hear me?”
