Chapter 253
After hanging up the phone, Ingrid hurriedly said to Shaun, “Go to the hospital with me now. Something
happened to Roxy!”
Shaun was still sulking. Thus, he asked in a muffled voice, “What happened to Roxy?”
Ingrid said, “Roxy is hospitalized. She’s at the Northshore Hospital now.”
Shaun was shocked when he heard that. He cried, “What happened?”
Ingrid replied, “Stop asking so many questions. Just go to the hospital!”
Shaun worried about his daughter and could not be bothered with continuing the fight with Ingrid.
Then they hurriedly drove to the Northshore Hospital.
In the Northshore Hospital.
Roxanne was sent to an emergency room. A doctor was examining her.
Gavin tried too hard in bed. Thus, Roxanne was going to have a miscarriage.
After the examination, the doctor said in frustration, “Young adults. Don’t know how to control
yourselves? You’re only two months pregnant. How can you have sex?”
Roxanne was still in excruciating pain. She said, “It hurts so much, doctor. Please save my baby!”
The doctor said, “Now you want to protect your baby? Why didn’t you think about the consequences
when you were enjoying the moments in bed?
“You can’t have sex before the third–month pregnancy because your placenta needs time to stabilize.
You wouldn’t be in the hospital if you have followed the medical advice!”
Roxanne’s face was pale. However, she could not explain anything. Instead, she kept begging the
doctor to save her baby.
The doctor asked, “Where’s the baby’s father? You should probably tell him about this and ask him to
come over as soon as possible.”
Soon, Ingrid and Shaun rushed to the hospital. Ingrid asked, “Doctor, how’s my daughter, Roxy?”
“She’s still in the emergency room!” replied the doctor.
Ingrid asked, “How did this happen?”
The doctor said, “You are her parents, right? You should remind your daughter of what she can’t do
during pregnancy. Young adults know nothing, but
you should!”
The doctor gave a speech to Ingrid and Shaun.
However, Ingrid and Shaun were worried about Roxanne and did not hear a word from the doctor.
Two hours later, nurses finally took Roxanne out of the emergency room.
Roxanne’s legs were held up high to minimize the effect of gravitational pull on the fetus.
Ingrid asked, “Doctor, how’s my daughter?”
The doctor replied, “We’ve given your daughter pregnancy–stabilizing medicines. She has to stay in the
hospital for observation for the next few days. Whether the baby can be saved depends on her
recovery.”
Ingrid became even more anxious when she heard that. She asked, “Doctor, please do something to
save my daughter’s baby!”
The doctor said, “I totally understand how you feel now. We’ll do our best.”
A nurse pushed Roxanne’s hospital bed into a ward. Then Ingrid and Shaun hurriedly followed the
nurse in.
Ingrid asked, “Roxy, what did you do? Why did you have a miscarriage out of the blue?”
Roxanne lay weakly on the hospital bed. Her face was as pale as a dead person’s. She said, “Mom,
stop nagging…”
Ingrid interrupted, “How is this nagging? I’m worried about you! It wasn’t easy for you to get pregnant.
What do you do if you lose this baby?”
Hearing this, Roxanne closed her eyes in shame.
Roxanne was very scared now. Meanwhile, she blamed Gavin inside. She thought, “I told him Gavin
couldn’t do that with him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“However, he tried so hard to seduce me!”
Ingrid kept nagging. Then Shaun could not take it anymore. He glared at Ingrid and scolded, “Enough!
Stop blaming Roxy!
“Don’t you see Roxy is weak now? What she needs is rest, not your nagging. How can she recover
while having you nagging aside?”
Hearing this, Ingrid was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Shaun.
Then Ingrid said, “Roxy, rest well. I’m going to get you something to eat.”
“Thanks, Mom,” said Roxanne.
Ingrid carried her bag and left the ward. As soon as she walked out of the ward, she called Bruce.
Ingrid thought, “Although Bruce didn’t show me any mercy today, now that something had happened to
Roxy. How can he sit back and do nothing?
“I want Bruce to see how weak Roxanne is with his own eyes. Perhaps, he will change his mind and
not break up with Roxanne.
“As long as Bruce and Roxanne are together, I don’t have to worry about the police investigating me for
hiring a killer.”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Bruce’s phone rang.
Bruce decided to pick it up. “Hello?”
Ingrid greeted, “Hi, Mr. Everett!”
Bruce asked, “What do you want?”
Ingrid calmed herself down and said, “Roxy is hospitalized. Are you coming to see her?”
Bruce asked knowingly, “Oh, she’s in the hospital?”
Bruce asked it on purpose. He already knew what had happened since his bodyguard reported
everything to him.
“Yeah! The situation was dangerous. Roxy almost died with her two babies! Anyway, Roxy is very weak
now. Hurry up and come to see her!”
Bruce sneered when he heard that.
Bruce thought, “Roxanne was hospitalized because she had wild sex with another man. How can her
mother be so thick–skinned as to call me?”
Thus, Bruce replied coldly, “Does it have anything to do with me? I’ve already broken up with
Roxanne!”
Ingrid was shocked when she heard Bruce’s answer. However, she did not give it up. Instead, she
continued, “Roxanne is pregnant with your child. How can you be so ruthless?
“I don’t care what’s between Roxanne and you. You have to be responsible for Roxy and the baby in
her belly. She has your child now. How can she marry another man in the future?”
Bruce said, “Mrs. Haynes, please stop pestering me. I might consider giving, Roxanne the last dignity if
I have a good mood. If you keep annoying me, I won’t show any mercy.
“By the way, ask Roxanne to get an abortion. I won’t be responsible for anything even if she gives birth
to the baby!”
Ingrid dumbfounded when she heard that.
Ingrid thought, “I didn’t expect Bruce to be so cruel to Roxanne in just a few days. Days ago, Bruce
promised he would be responsible for the baby. But now, he doesn’t even care about the child.”
Ingrid said, “Mr. Everett, how can you say that? Roxy has been with you for six years. How can you be
Bruce said coldly, “Cold–blooded?
50 cold–blooded?”
“By the way, there’s one more thing you need to know. My lawyer will get back everything I gave
Roxanne before. Don’t blame me for suing Roxanne if she doesn’t return everything!”
“What… What did you say?” Ingrid couldn’t believe her ears.
Ingrid thought, “Bruce is a mogul. And he wants the things back that he had given to a woman?”
Ingrid said, “You not only want to break up with Roxy but you… you want her to return everything that
you gave her. Did I get it right?”
Bruce snorted and said, “Yeah. You got it right!
“Roxanne knows very well what she has done. Don’t treat everyone as a fool!
“I won’t let Roxanne give birth to this child. If she dares to do so, I’ll make you regret it!”
Bruce replied, “Ask your daughter if you have questions. I’ve already done my best to give her the last
dignity!
“If you continue to be so annoying, you will see what I will do!”
Ingrid asked, “What do you mean by that? Roxy has been your girlfriend for six years. Is this how you
treat her?”
Beep. Bruce hung up the phone since he was uninterested in continuing the talk with Ingrid.
Ingrid was furious and anxious. She cursed, “I can’t believe Bruce is so cruel! I won’t let him get away
from it easily!”
Ingrid did not have the mood to get some food and hurried back to the ward.
Roxanne was lying weakly on the hospital bed while Shaun sat beside the bed with a miserable
expression.
Ingrid ignored Shaun and went straight to bed to see Roxanne, Ingrid and Shaun ignored each other
since they were still in a fight.
Roxanne said, “Mom, you said you went to get some food…”
Ingrid replied, “Well. It’s too late now. Besides, I forgot to take my car key. Don’t worry. I will order a
takeout later!”
“Hmm.” Roxanne hummed to reply.
Seeing Roxanne was so weak, Ingrid did not want to nag her and dared not to tell Roxanne how
merciless Bruce was.
Roxanne suddenly said, “Mom, give me the phone. I want to make a call.”
Ingrid asked, “Whom do you want to call?”
Roxanne replied weakly, “I want to call Bruce!”
Roxanne thought, “I loved to put on an act before Bruce. It worked every time!
“My old trick doesn’t work that well now. However, I want to give it a try. There is a silver lining as long
as Bruce takes a little pity on me.
Ingrid’s lips twitched. Then she said with an unnatural expression, “It’s late now. Bruce is probably
asleep. It’s better not to call him at this time.”
Roxanne’s face darkened when she heard that. Then she said resentfully, “When Joanna was
hospitalized, Bruce was anxious and took good care of her.
“Now that I’m hospitalized, I don’t believe Bruce will do anything. After all, I’m pregnant with his child! I
might fail to keep the baby, so I want him to take
a last look at it!”
When Ingrid heard this, she sighed deeply and persuaded, “It’s better not to call him. Forget it and rest
well.”
Roxanne said, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? I asked you to give me the phone. You seem like you are
unwilling to let me have my phone.”
Ingrid replied, “Roxy, Mom just called Bruce.”
Roxanne’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She asked, “Mom, did you tell Bruce I’m hospitalized? How
did Bruce react? Did he say he is coming to visit me?”
Ingrid was nervous when she heard Roxanne’s questions. Seeing Roxanne was so excited, Ingrid did
not want to tell her the truth..
