Sabrina’s tummy still hurt when they came back to the hotel. After setting her down on the bed, Isaac
rushed off to find a doctor.
Her pain was so excruciating that she felt like an unknown creature was ingesting her insides bit by bit.
She curled up in the blanket, sweating profusely. All color was drained from her face.
Not long later, Isaac finally returned with the doctor.
“Doctor, take a look at her. What’s wrong with her?”
When Isaac came back, the first sight that greeted him was a stationary Sabrina on the bed. He
instantly panicked and pulled the doctor along while trembling ever so slightly.
The doctor quickly came to her side.
“Is her only symptom a stomachache? Did she eat anything she shouldn’t have?” The doctor had a
grim expression on his face as he carefully studied Sabrina’s ashen countenance.
Then, he proceeded to lift the blanket to give her a more thorough check.
To his horror, he saw a splotch of bright red blood on the pure white sheets beneath Sabrina’s body.
“Isn’t this…”
“I-I don’t know, doctor. I think you should give her a meticulous examination. She seems to be in
extreme agony.”
Isaac’s bespectacled face reddened in an instant.
He quickly shifted his gaze to avoid looking at the tainted spot but continued pleading with the doctor to

The doctor shot him an exasperated look and carried on with the examination.
Several moments later, the look on his face grew sourer as he listened attentively to the stethoscope.
“We have to send her to the hospital right away.”
“Huh?” Isaac was taken aback. “The hospital?”
The doctor nodded as he put down his stethoscope. “Yes. Her heart rate is irregular and her blood
pressure is abnormally low. She must be admitted to the hospital this instant, else she’ll be in grave
danger.”
Isaac was shocked to the core.
Without asking any more questions, he dashed forward to carry Sabrina in his arms.
“Ms. Hayes? Ms. Hayes?”
“Don’t bother calling her. She’s already passed out,” the doctor said in a low voice.
Passed out? So she wasn’t asleep?
Isaac sprinted out the door at the speed of light with Sabrina in his arms.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Sabrina was rushed to the emergency room. Isaac was on
tenterhooks as he paced up and down the corridors.
Roughly ten minutes later, a female doctor emerged from the room.
“Sir, is she your wife?”
“Huh?” Isaac staggered forward. “I… Yes. How is she?”
“Did you not know that she’s pregnant? What kind of husband are you? How could you not notice that
there were obvious signs of a potential miscarriage? Were you having sex?”
Female doctors around the world were one and the same. Whenever they saw an expectant woman
with symptoms of miscarriage, they were sure to lambast the man waiting outside.
Isaac’s face turned redder than a tomato.
“I… We… No… We didn’t have sex,” Isaac stuttered nervously.
Pregnant? She’s expecting?
An indescribable sadness washed over him. He had long suspected that there was something going on
between Sabrina and the man clad in army uniform when the latter came to take her away.
Nonetheless, hearing that she was pregnant still made him feel as though hundreds of knives were
relentlessly stabbing at his heart.
The Ms. Hayes he desired could never wholly belong to him.
“Doctor, how is she? Is she… Is she all right?”
“She’s out of danger for now. We’ve also managed to save the child. However, it’s paramount that she
remains well-rested for the next three days. Under no condition should she get down and walk about;
otherwise, the child could be in jeopardy.”
The grim expression on her face softened ever so slightly as she explained Sabrina’s condition to

The child’s alive?
Isaac paused.
An inexpressible feeling overwhelmed him. At the back of his mind, a small voice was telling him to get
rid of this unborn child.
However, he quickly shut it down and mentally gave himself a tight slap on the face. How could I harbor
such evil thoughts? Am I even human?
With conflicting feelings, he hesitantly trod into the emergency ward.
The pregnancy was shocking news not only to Isaac but the mother herself.
Never did Sabrina expect herself to be pregnant.
She did not know how long she was out cold, but once the agonizing pain in her abdomen area
subsided, she was able to get a good sleep.
By the time she roused from her sleep, the sky had already gone dark.
“Ms. Hayes! You’re finally awake. How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Isaac had faithfully stayed by her side while she slept. When he saw that she finally came to, he bolted
over and immediately fussed over her.
Sabrina blinked in confusion.
Finally awake? Was I asleep for very long?
So much time had passed since she fell unconscious that she didn’t realize a day had gone by.
