Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Children... There Will Be More

’That must mean she hasn’t seen it.’

’I’ll just wait a little longer. Maybe she’ll contact me soon.’

But for some reason, Ryan Sterling felt a profound sense of unease.

Evelyn Grant had often been too busy to contact him before, but this time, he had a very bad feeling.

His heart was pounding so hard that he couldn’t focus on his work at all.

He wished... he could just install a live-feed security camera on Evelyn Grant!

That way, he would know where she was and what she was doing right now.

The moment the thought surfaced, Ryan Sterling quickly suppressed it, scolding himself internally.

’No... I can’t be like this. I can’t...’

He had to give Evelyn Grant her freedom, had to trust her!

How could he take away Evelyn Grant’s freedom just because of his own anxiety?

...

Evelyn Grant felt like she was having a dream.

She dreamed that her and Ryan Sterling’s baby was born. The child looked so, so much like Ryan Sterling, especially around the eyes and brows.

She seemed to be in a hospital delivery room, her hand held tightly in his.

Evelyn Grant told him in a hoarse voice, "The baby... Our baby’s been born."

Ryan Sterling was also visibly excited and happy. "Yes! You’ve worked so hard, Evelyn Grant."

Suddenly, the scene shifted!

Everything vanished.

Evelyn Grant felt her body falling endlessly, plunging into darkness!

She panicked, shouting over and over, "Ryan Sterling! Ryan Sterling!"

But no one answered her.

She was enveloped by nothing but endless darkness.

Evelyn Grant began to feel around, trying to find a way out of this place. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Then, she thought she heard the faint sound of a child’s voice!

"Mommy, goodbye..."

’Mommy?’

"My baby! Don’t! Don’t go!"

Abruptly—

Evelyn Grant’s eyes flew open!

The white ceiling that met her gaze was so bright it made her instinctively furrow her brows.

"She’s awake! She’s finally awake!"

It was an unfamiliar man’s voice.

Evelyn Grant felt she had never heard it before.

Then came a series of footsteps, as if several people had gathered by her bedside.

"How are you feeling?"

She opened her eyes.

There were several doctors in white coats.

"I..."

The moment Evelyn Grant opened her mouth, she found her voice was too hoarse to speak.

A doctor said gently, "It’s okay, you’re all right now. Can you give us a family member’s contact information so we can have them come over?"

Her memories started to come back.

Evelyn Grant suddenly remembered something, her eyes widening.

"The baby... My baby..."

The doctor suddenly took her hand, his expression grave.

"You’re still young. You can... have another baby."

"..." Evelyn Grant struggled to sit up, her throat feeling like it was full of razor blades. "What... do you mean?"

"The baby is gone. We couldn’t save it."

The doctor sighed.

Even after encountering this situation countless times, it was still difficult to face.

"Impossible... My baby... Impossible!"

’I just saw the baby’s face in my dream!’

’He’ll be fine!’

"Fortunately, your body is fine. It won’t affect anything, you can have another!" The doctor didn’t know what else to say besides offering this comfort.

Anyone would be at a loss for words in this situation.

"My baby... my baby..."

It was as if Evelyn Grant still hadn’t woken up from that dark nightmare.

She truly couldn’t accept this reality!

How was Evelyn Grant supposed to explain this to Ryan Sterling?

He had just left.

Before he left, he had been so full of anticipation, imagining what the baby would be like after it was born. Ryan Sterling had even said he would bring back a gift for the baby!

How could this have happened?!

"Can you give us your husband’s contact information?" the doctor asked again.

Evelyn Grant suddenly looked up. "No! This... You can’t tell him..."

’Absolutely not!’

"But we need a signature for your procedure. If your husband isn’t available, another immediate family member will do!"

After all, the hospital had its rules, and the doctor’s hands were tied.

’Immediate family?’

How could Evelyn Grant dare to notify anyone else...

Her mother would never be able to handle it!

Her younger brother was still too young; he couldn’t come and sign for her.
