Chapter 149: Chapter 149: It’s Good for a Pregnant Woman to Get More Sleep

"Can’t I sign it myself? My family... they aren’t available..."

The doctor gave her a skeptical look.

Judging by Evelyn Grant’s clothes, she looked like a girl who was always well taken care of. How could it be that at a time like this, there was no one to sign the consent form for her?

But since she was awake and had said she could sign it herself, the doctor was naturally eager to complete his "task" as soon as possible.

If they performed the surgery without this signature, they could be disciplined!

"Alright then."

The doctor gave Evelyn Grant’s test results a quick glance, and after confirming everything was fine, he turned to leave.

Evelyn Grant closed her eyes, unwilling to face reality.

The baby...

The baby was gone. How could she ever explain this to Ryan Sterling?

"Ma’am, if you’re alright, I’ll be on my way?"

Suddenly, a man’s voice sounded by her ear.

It was the same voice she’d heard right after she woke up.

Evelyn Grant slowly turned to look. It was a plainly dressed, middle-aged man.

’She was sure she didn’t know this person.’

The man saw the confusion in Evelyn’s eyes and quickly explained, "I’m the taxi driver who gave you a ride earlier! I saw you pass out, so I brought you to the nearest hospital!"

"Oh... I’m so sorry for all the trouble."

"Not at all! The important thing is that you’re safe!"

Struggling to control her emotions, Evelyn held out her hand. "Could you please hand me my phone?"

The driver nodded and handed it over.

"Sir, could I get your payment QR code? Bringing me to the hospital must have taken up a lot of your time. I’ll pay you for that and the fare all at once."

The driver waved his hand dismissively. "No need! Just the regular fare is fine."

Evelyn didn’t argue. She just lowered her head and transferred two thousand to him via the QR code.

"What’s this...?"

"Please, take it. I’m incredibly grateful."

Only after the driver left and she was alone in the hospital room did Evelyn finally let the tears that had been welling in her eyes fall.

She knew better than anyone what this child meant to her.

In a way, this child had saved her life. ℯℯ𝘭.

And now...

Just then, her phone rang sharply.

Evelyn instinctively glanced at it—

It was Ryan Sterling.

He’d already left over a dozen missed calls.

But right now, Ryan Sterling was the last person she wanted to face.

’How am I going to tell him...?’

"Hello..."

The moment Ryan Sterling heard her voice, he let out a sharp sigh of relief.

"You finally answered the phone! I thought you might have fallen in the shower!"

"N-no... After my shower, I... I spoke with my mom for a few minutes, and then I fell asleep." Evelyn bit her lip, holding back a sob. "I’m sorry..."

Her words took Ryan Sterling by surprise.

"What’s there to be sorry for? You didn’t do anything wrong. I was the one who overreacted." The earlier frantic edge to his voice was gone, replaced by a gentle warmth. "You should get back to sleep. I won’t bother you. The doctor said pregnant women need lots of sleep to keep their strength up. You have work tomorrow, so get some rest."

Just as he was about to hang up, Evelyn suddenly spoke.

"Ryan Sterling!"

"Hm?"

"I..." The single word was all it took. Evelyn’s tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string. "I..."

’I had a miscarriage.’ Those four words were impossible to say.

They were caught in her throat, which felt like it was stuffed with cotton.

"What’s wrong?" Ryan could tell something was off.
