Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Eve, You’re Bleeding

"Ugh..."

Evelyn Grant subconsciously furrowed her brow and gritted her teeth.

Ryan Sterling immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "What is it?"

"N-nothing’s wrong!" Afraid of worrying him while he was abroad, Evelyn Grant quickly pretended everything was fine. "Um, you go ahead and get back to work. I’m going to take a shower! I’ll text you when I get out."

’Maybe I just ate a little too much,’ she thought. ’That must be why I feel this way. It’ll probably go away after a little while.’

"Okay. Be careful in the bathroom. Don’t slip."

"Don’t worry, I’m not a child."

After hanging up, Evelyn Grant stood there and pursed her lips.

The pain didn’t seem as sharp as it had a moment ago. ’Could it be... just a sudden cramp?’

Evelyn Grant looked down, stroking her lower abdomen. She said softly, "Baby, you have to be born safe and sound, okay? You have no idea how much your daddy loves you. Even when he’s away for work, he doesn’t forget to bring you back a present! If you want to know what it is, you have to behave."

In that moment, she could even picture the three of them as a family in the future.

’It will definitely be harmonious and happy.’

The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift into a small smile as Evelyn Grant finally got up and went to the bathroom.

As she was showering, that uncomfortable feeling in her lower abdomen began to creep back.

With water on her body and face, Evelyn Grant couldn’t open her eyes right away, so she kept them shut and reached out, fumbling for her towel.

By the time she found the towel and dried the water from her face,

The pain was gone again!

Evelyn Grant’s first thought was that if there was no feeling, it meant nothing was wrong.

So she went back to her shower.

Until—

She suddenly looked down!

And saw a large pool of blood on the bathroom floor!

It was diluted by the shower water, but it was unmistakably blood. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"..."

At first, Evelyn Grant was completely stunned.

She couldn’t even make a sound!

After what felt like an eternity, Evelyn Grant finally cried out, "Mom! Mom!"

Hearing her voice, Chloe Shea rushed in from outside. "What’s wrong?"

The moment she finished asking, her eyes also fell on the large pool of bloody water...

"Eve, you’re bleeding!"

Seeing her mother’s terrified expression, and fearing it might trigger her heart condition, Evelyn Grant suppressed her own fear and said, "Oh, I’m sorry, Mom, I completely forgot! I think I’m supposed to get my period today."

"..."

"Mom, you should go rest. I’m fine."

Chloe Shea pointed at the blood on the floor. "Is that really... your period? Eve, you’d better not be lying to me!"

"I’m not lying."

Right now, Evelyn Grant just wanted her mother to leave quickly.

The pain in her lower abdomen was becoming more and more intense!

She was holding it in for now.

But she didn’t know if she could keep holding it in much longer.

Fortunately, Chloe Shea was fooled and didn’t think much more of it.

The moment she left, Evelyn Grant gritted her teeth, quickly threw on some clothes, and forced herself to sneak out the door.

By the time Evelyn Grant got into a taxi, beads of sweat were already rolling uncontrollably down her temples...

"Hello, please... take me to the hospital..."

"Are you sick?" The driver was startled by her pale face.

Evelyn Grant managed a difficult nod. "Yeah."

"Okay! I’ll get you there as fast as I can!"

Hearing this, Evelyn Grant had intended to reach for her phone to pay the driver first.

But before she could even get her phone out, she passed out!

Her head lolled to the side, and she lost consciousness completely.

"Hey? Don’t scare me! Ma’am? Ma’am?"

Seeing her like this, the driver, afraid he’d get extorted, floored it toward the hospital.

Then he called 911 to report it.

"Hello! I’m a taxi driver. A female passenger passed out in my cab, and I’m taking her to the hospital right now..."
