Martha answered, “Yes, Mr. Johnson.”
Suddenly, Ingrid’s face turned pale. She clutched her stomach and said, “Ouch… My stomach hurts soNôvelDrama.Org © content.
much…”
However, Hansel remained expressionless. Since he didn’t move, Martha didn’t dare to move either.
At that moment, Ingrid had already slid to the floor in pain. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead. She reached out to grab Hansel’s pant leg. her eyes pleading. “Hansel, save me. Save our child. My stomach hurts terribly…”
“Mr. Johnson, Ms. York doesn’t seem to be faking it.” Martha couldn’t bear it any longer.
Cold sweat had soaked through her thin nightgown, and Ingrid’s face was contorted with pain. Hansel coldly threw out the words before walking away, “Do as you see fit.”
Martha cursed under her breath. The life of an employee was truly tough!

Early in the morning, Evelyn received a call from Martha. She Informed Evelyn that Ingrid and Hansel had a big fight at home last night. Hansel wanted to kick her out, but she refused to leave.
This time, things seemed really bad.
Evelyn didn’t dare to take things lightly after hearing this. She feared that something bad might happen to the child, so she immediately went to Ingrid’s ward,
When Evelyn reached the door, she heard a heart–wrenching scream coming from inside the ward,” Doctor, I beg you. Please, I’m begging you! You must save my child! I can’t live without him. He is my life!”
The doctor tried his best to calm her down. “Ms. York, please calm down! Take a deep breath and compose yourself. You’re being too emotional. This isn’t good for either you or the baby. What’s most important now is for you to calm down, and then we can talk about treatment options…
Ingrid wasn’t listening at all. She grabbed the doctor’s hand. “Doctor, tell me the truth. Can my child still be saved? Is my child still okay? You can definitely save my baby, right? Why aren’t you saying anything? Say something! Isn’t this a hospital for saving people?
“My husband has money! He’s very rich! Please save my child. He can afford it no matter what the cost! Please… I’m begging you…”
Evelyn saw Ingrid’s frantic state. Each time the doctor tried to speak, she cut him off. If this continued, even a perfectly healthy baby would be endangered by her antics!
At that thought, Evelyn walked up to her and slapped Ingrid across the face. “Have you lost your mind?” she shouted.
Instead of calming Ingrid down, the slap made her even more hysterical, “You hit me? How dare you hit me! Evelyn, you old witch! It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in the hospital!”
Evelyn retorted, “So what if I hit you? If it weren’t for the fact that you’re pregnant, I’d slap you a few more times! You idiot, didn’t you hear the doctor telling you to calm down? How long are you going to keep this up? Are you only going to be satisfied after you lose the baby?”
Her head started to ache again. She couldn’t believe her misfortune in having to deal with such a foolish
woman.
She couldn’t care less if Ingrid wanted to ruin her own life, but she better not cause any harm to her grandson!
Ingrid was in a state of extreme anxiety and fear that she couldn’t listen to a single word. “If I lose the
fl baby, it’ll be your fault too! If you hadn’t forced me to learn this and that, I wouldn’t have fought with Hansel.
“If we hadn’t argued, I wouldn’t have been sent to the hospital! Do you think I don’t want to focus on taking care of my pregnancy?”
