The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 180 Who Got Her Pregnant

It looked like Chris had given Yvonne a good shove. From the sudden force and blow upon her body,

she could not maintain her balance and fell on the ground. She then sat on the ground with a frown on

her face.

"Now gather your stuff and leave this house. We don't want to see you ever again, " Chris exclaimed.

But instead of waiting for Yvonne to get up, she herself grabbed Yvonne's suitcase and irritably flung it

right out of the main door.

From all her past encounters, Autumn knew too well that given Yvonne's character, she just wouldn't

accept her fate gracefully. She would instead go to the extreme in this circumstance. But right when

Autumn was about to say something to stop her from acting out, she saw her falling, on her back all of

a sudden, with a loud thud.

"Come on, you are making us sick with your acting. What a fabulous fake faint! But I must interrupt

your performance and tell you that no matter what cheap tricks you pull out of your sleeve today, you

must leave this house." Chris now felt so infuriated for Autumn's sake and was trying to defend her.

She believed that Autumn must have been forced into this marriage. With that it all made sense to her

as why Autumn was keeping Charles at a distance early in their married life, and it was all fair.

Luckily for them, this marriage was a happy accident, they ended up falling in love with each other.

Although Chris was repeatedly nudging her with rude remarks to leave, Yvonne maintained her

position, and was turning pale while she was still. Chris then realized that something was terribly

wrong. She walked over and tentatively asked, "Please don't tell me that you are just pretending."

The second she glanced upon Yvonne's pale face she broke out into a cold sweat. She thought that

she had simply given her a jog to keep her away from Autumn but never realized that it could cause her

to faint and turn pale.

Autumn could also sense that something bad had happened. Her face tensed up as she went over to

lift Yvonne up and checked her over. Suddenly, Autumn's face changed color. There was literally a pool

of blood under Yvonne's body. "We need to rush her to the hospital right now." Autumn cried out.

The accident was also way beyond Charles's expectation. He yanked Chris's arm and urged, "What

are you waiting for? Call an ambulance right now!"

Chris was shaken to her core and Charles's words brought her back to her senses. She then helped

them send Yvonne to the hospital, almost mechanically and void of emotion. It was not until Yvonne

was rushed into the operating room that she finally realized what had happened. She sank to the floor

and was frightened out of her wits.

Autumn hurried to help her up on her feet. She took her hand gently in hers while comforting her and

helped her sit on a bench in the hospital corridor. "Don't worry, everything will be fine, " she consoled

her.

"Autumn…" cried Chris, holding her hand firmly. She was willing to open her heart only to Autumn in

this dreadful situation as she feared that Charles couldn't understand her feelings since he was a man.

"Rest assured, I'm here for you." Autumn stroked her hand gently.

"Autumn, I didn't mean to, I only nudged her…how did… this happen, there was so much blood?"

asked Chris as she was terrified.

Instead of answering her, Autumn was lost in thought. 'Simply falling down won't cause such severe

bleeding. It seems as though Yvonne had a miscarriage. The question is...'

"Who is here with Yvonne Gu?" asked a doctor who came out from the operating room. Hearing the

doctor's words, the three of them rushed up to her. "How is she?" asked Autumn anxiously.

"She suffered a hemorrhage and I'm sorry we were unable to save the baby. Please sign this operation Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

agreement, " the doctor said in a succinct but clear way, while passing the document on to Charles. He

frowned but did not take it. The doctor looked up at him and urged, "Hurry up, grab a pen. Your wife's

life is hanging in the balance and every minute counts. Just sign it before it's too late."

She then glared at Charles with contempt, "No offense but it seems that men nowadays are losing sight

of their responsibility towards their wives and family. If you didn't intend to treat her well, why did you

impregnate her in the first place? You see, harm set, harm get."

"Well...doctor, the patient inside is my sister, and this is my husband." Autumn came up and clarified.

The doctor then glanced at Charles with a somewhat embarrassed look, perhaps feeling sorry about

the mix-up and her rant. "Where is your sister's husband then? Why isn't he present here?"

"We don't know who the child's father is just yet." Autumn said softly while taking the document. She

asked before signing her name on the paper, "How is my sister now, Doctor? Is she still in critical

condition?"

"Right now it's hard to say." The doctor said with concern, "We can only try our best to save her."

Autumn said no more and quickly signed her name. "Please do save her, Doctor."

After signing the agreement, Autumn suddenly felt the burden of an impending doom descended upon

her. She started to feel an unease developing in her gut. After a long moment of hesitation she decided

to call Wendy.

They did not speak ever since Wendy left. It was the first time that Autumn had called her in such a

long time. Wendy answered the phone on the third ring, then Autumn heard her half-hearted, sarcastic

yet familiar greeting, "Well well, Autumn, what an honor."

"Yvonne has had an accident." Autumn came straight to the point as she saw no point beating around

the bush and continued, "The doctor said that she was pregnant and she probably miscarried."

"What? Is this some kind of a twisted joke?" Wendy's heart sank as she inquired, "What happened?

And who is the father of her child?"

Wendy actually prayed in her heart that it was Charles, then he would naturally have to marry Yvonne

without any more of planning and plotting.

But she heard Autumn sneer as she responded, "It is not Charles, that is for sure. Yvonne has been

pregnant for over two months. Don't tell me that you have no idea who the father is. I think you know

better than I do."

Wendy frowned as she pondered over the whole incident. Considering how long Yvonne had been

pregnant it could be Joe's child. If that was the case, Yvonne might as well have lost it, for they just

couldn't expect to marry her into the Lu family if she was bearing someone else's baby.

While Wendy was weighing the pros and cons of the accident, Autumn couldn't wait patiently and

requested, "Right now, she is still in the operating room. Just come back once you get things settled

there."

"Hold on!" Wendy snapped as Autumn was about to hang up the phone. "I'm warning you. I will be

back in two days. Till then, you must take good care of Yvonne. Should anything bad happens to her

again you will be sorry about your very existence!"

"What do you mean? Aren't you planning to come right now?" Autumn's face flushed red. "Wendy, you

better get back here as soon as you can. I'm under no obligation to look after her after all that you two

have put me through. Time is precious for me as I have to keep my grandma company and take care of

her.

"I beg your pardon?" Wendy gnashed her teeth as her grip on the phone got tighter, "I'll ensure that

someone takes good care of your grandmother, just attend to Yvonne with all your love and care.

Miscarriage is not a small matter, you must keep an eye on her personally and treat her like she's

confined in childbirth. Mak sure she recovers completely."

"You liar! When will you stop lying to me?" Autumn blurted out. She didn't plan to confront Wendy about

it in this situation. However, Wendy was now trying to take advantage of her with yet another one of her

deceitful and manipulative lies. That was the last straw. "Listen, I have already found the whereabouts

of my grandmother. You promised that you would take care of her and pay for her medical care as long

as I took the place of Yvonne and married Charles. But then what happened? She's now in a serious

condition and the doctor said that we have missed the optimal treatment time. It was all a lie from the

very beginning. You have done nothing but betrayed me and treated me with hate."
