Chapter 427: Chapter 443: The Late Menstruation (5)

And he, too, was absolutely holding back the excitement from their reunion after separation. He seemingly calmly extended his hand towards her. His face didn’t turn red, nor was he panting, his tone was steady, and he unhurriedly replied, "Miss Smith, hello."

Then their hands touch briefly and separate. She would casually discuss cooperation with him while he would meticulously examine her face, cataloging the changes from their prolonged separation, and then a long-lost flurry of feelings would surface from the bottom of his heart.

Look at how wonderful his imagination was, but reality was so cruel. They were separated and then reunited, but she was not the beautiful and generous Isabel Smith. She was a frail and pale Isabel Smith, lying on the hospital bed, her body, and soul bearing immense sorrow.

Men will never understand the pain a woman feels when she loses a child. A mother’s love occurs the moment a woman is pregnant, while a father’s love emerges when he sees his child born into the world. Hence, a woman’s love for her child is always ten months more than a man’s.

Percy Stanton had been a father, and though he could not personally experience Isabel Smith’s sorrow, he could tell that she was truly devastated. Otherwise, why would she furrow her brows even in her sleep?

Percy Stanton didn’t know how long he stared at Isabel Smith. Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying emanated from the adjacent room. Then the light in that room turned on. Because everything was so quiet, Percy Stanton could hear a woman’s soft cooing from that room. Then the service bell rang, and from the office at the end of the ward, a man in a white coat, presumably a doctor, came out and quickly entered the room next to Isabel Smith’s. It seemed like he was checking on the baby, and after a while, the crying stopped. The doctor came out and saw Percy Stanton standing outside of Isabel Smith’s hospital room. He casually asked, "Excuse me, do you know the patient in this room?"

Percy Stanton nodded and asked in a somewhat husky voice, "Is she... okay?"

"Since she was only two months pregnant, the loss of the child does not have a significant physical impact. However, her uterus is congenitally a bit thin. Luckily, it wasn’t more than three months into the pregnancy. If it were a fetal death in utero after three months, if a uterus cleaning surgery were to be performed, it could potentially result in lifelong infertility." The doctor could tell from Percy Stanton’s words that he was likely the man who got Isabel Smith pregnant, so he honestly told him about Isabel Smith’s condition, "But it seems her mental state isn’t very good. However, a woman who has lost her child will indeed feel very upset. Despite that, I still want to remind you that if you two want to have a child in the future, please have a physical examination before conception to ensure that her body doesn’t have any problems. This would be beneficial for both her and you."

Percy Stanton turned pale at the doctor’s words, and his heart was filled with an enormous sense of relief. He felt fortunate that Isabel Smith was only two months pregnant. If something had happened to the child after three months... and a pregnancy termination was conducted, it could have resulted in lifelong infertility.

Percy Stanton didn’t even dare to think about it. He just nodded at the doctor, indicating he understood.

However, the doctor didn’t leave. Instead, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Did you receive some news yesterday? You weren’t in Bellshire? Your wife came to the hospital for a check-up yesterday afternoon."

Percy Stanton furrowed his brows, not pointing out the misinterpretation in the doctor’s words.

"At that time, the fetus was already dead inside the womb. I suggested she have surgery, but she refused, saying she wanted to consult with her husband first, and then left. However, she was sent to the hospital by a waiter from the tea restaurant next to the hospital in the middle of the night. According to the people in the tea restaurant, she was sitting in the restaurant the whole time, sending text messages and making phone calls. Her phone even ran out of power, and she had to borrow a charger. She just looked a little unwell at that time, but later..."
