A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 192 No One Can Rest In Peace (Part One)

"What happened? Why are you bleeding all of a sudden?" Sage was frightened. For pregnant women, bleeding was considered a bad sign as it usually denoted miscarriage. Because of that, she hurried to find Zac.

At that time, Zac was in Essie's studio goofing around. His goal was to distract Essie to the point that she was unable to concentrate on drawing her designs.

It had been said that a man would be obscene after being fed. Essie thought it particularly suited Zac.

Their little fun, however, was disrupted when Sage burst into the room. After hearing what she had to say, Zac ran out of the studio in a hurry. Essie followed him closely.

Valery was crying her heart out as she sat in the backseat of the speeding car. More than the pain she was feeling, she was scared that she would have a miscarriage and lose her child.

Essie was on another car right behind the one Valery was in.

Something about the whole situation was not sitting right with her. 'As far as I know,' she thought, her eyebrows tightly knitted, 'Valery hasn't been showing any signs that she was having troubles with her pregnancy—until today. How could this happen if she has multiple midwives taking care of her around the clock?' She thought about this for a while, but then she ultimately decided that now is not the time to reflect on such inconsistencies.

The moment their convoy arrived at hospital, a team of medical professionals welcomed them, one of whom was an authoritative expert in obstetrics and gynecology. As soon as Valery got out of the car, she was sent to the emergency room.

After hours upon hours of waiting for laboratory tests, the doctor informed them that Valery and the baby inside her tummy were safe. Everyone made a collective sigh of relief.

Both Elizabeth and Mary rushed to the hospital as soon as they got the phone call from Sage.

Didn't you say all of Valery's past prenatal checkups have gone well? Why did she bleed? How have you been taking care of her?" A disapproving frown slowly formed on her lips.
