Chapter 147:
At that moment, the door of the delivery room opened again. A female doctor came out with a document and a pen and shouted, “Where is Bella’s family?”
Hank hurried over and asked, “Doctor, how is she now?”
“The situation is not very optimistic at the moment, but we will try our best. You are her husband, right? I need family members to sign here.”
The doctor handed the document and pen to Hank.
This was the rule of the hospital. Only family members could sign it. He frowned and thought for a moment, and the doctor’s tone was very urgent.
Hank took the document and signed his name on it.
When I saw this scene, my heart suddenly sank. I knew more terrible things would happen later. If it was for Bella, I should have stood up and stopped him. But I didn’t. I didn’t stand up for her; I was too much of a coward.
After signing, the doctor took the document and went back to the delivery room. After that, it was a long wait. Two hours later, the door to the delivery room was still closed.
I was worried about Bella.
At this time, a few figures appeared at the stairs. The man at the front walked toward me at the fastest pace.
“How is she?”
Mr. Wharton held my shoulders, his expression full of worry.
At this moment, I really wanted to tell him what had happened, but when I saw McKenna and Caroline behind him, I couldn’t say a word.
“Mr. Wharton, the doctor said… that Mrs. Wharton is having labor dystocia.” I was afraid to answer. I had never seen anyone as nervous as him. After releasing his hand, he grabbed the hair in front of his forehead and stared at the door of the delivery room. I could tell that he was very anxious.
At this moment, Hank suddenly walked in front of him. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Hank said coldly, “Are you Bella’s husband?”
“Why are you here?” Herbert was very unhappy.
“Bang!”
Hank punched Herbert as fast as he could, then pointed at him angrily and asked, “How did you take care of Bella? Her expected date of delivery is almost up, and you are still running around the world. Do you know that her current situation is very dangerous?”
Herbert was beaten, and then McKenna and Caroline came forward.
“Who are you? How dare you hit my son?” McKenna asked.
“What’s the relationship between you and Bella? What right do you have to teach Herbert a lesson?” Caroline asked.
I stood aside and said nothing. I knew that these two people were deliberately trying to intensify the conflict. That was what they wanted to see. I was just a servant. I didn’t have the ability to do anything. Although I was very sad, I still didn’t do anything in the end.
Perhaps I should do something for her? I finally took a step forward. But just then, from the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the fierce look in McKenna’s eyes. I didn’t dare to move forward. The image of my son in prison appeared in my mind. No matter how good Bella was, she was not as important as my son to me. I hoped my son could get out of prison as soon as possible. Enduring my heartache, I stepped back without saying a word.
