Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"Maia will be fine. Don't worry."

Nicole gestured.

"Fine? She's basically drenched in blood."

Tim sat on the bench, battered out of his senses.

He clutched his hair and kept pulling it.

How could he be drunk?

How could he leave Maia facing all this alone?

But it was too late now, no matter how much he regretted it.

Tim was so guilty, while Nicole didn't have a good time, either. She wanted to set Maia up with Tim, but now that Maia was like this, she was so sorry, despite that she knew that it had nothing to do with her.

Gabrielle didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only wait there quietly.

As time passed, the lights in the emergency room finally went out.

Yet, Tim was somehow a little scared.

Neil looked at them as he came out, and whispered, "The patient's not very well now."

"How is she?"

Tim asked hurriedly.

He could feel that his hands were trembling, so was his heart.

Nicole also looked at Neil, nervous.

Neil sighed and said, "The patient suffers multiple fractures. Three ribs were broken, and serious congestion is detected all over the body. Fortunately, she was delivered in time. Otherwise, it is very likely that the blood may press her nerve and cause much worse effects. But, most importantly, the patient's uterus is injured."

"What did you say?"

Tim and Nicole opened their eyes wide on hearing this.

"Neil, is that a confirmed diagnosis?"

Gabrielle was also at a loss.

Neil nodded and said regretfully, "Whoever did this was so ruthless. Uterus is the most vulnerable part of a woman. From the looks of it, it may take a long time to recover, which of course, could only be achieved by applying traditional Chinese massage and acupuncture. Western medicine, I assume, may not work. As for how long it will take, I cannot be sure. Maybe a couple of months, or about a year, or perhaps even longer. And it is possible that when her uterus finally recovers, she's already passed her child-bearing age. That's why I need to see her immediate relatives. I need them to sign on some papers."

Tim was completely dumbfounded.

He knew better than anyone how important uterus is to a woman.

Maia had not been married, and she didn't even have a boyfriend. The best of her life was still yet to come; but now she ended up like this just because of him, a douchebag.

No matter how sorry and regretful he felt, he couldn't turn back time.

Tim's silence broke Nicole's heart.

She took out her phone to look for Maia's info, but found that Maia didn't leave any number of her immediate family.

It was all because of me that she's like this now. I want to be responsible for her, but Nicole, if I'm gonna do that, I will have to give up my love for you. I can't fail her.
