My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 531 - A Broken Heart

Half an hour later, Lilia was ushered out of the emergency room first.

The woman closed her eyes tightly on the bed. Even with the subtle makeup on her cheeks, she still couldn't cover her swollen forehead and bloodstains.

Jean's heart tightened at once.

He stepped forward and stopped at the side of the hospital bed. He tried to touch her with his hand, but he stopped near her cheek. "How's her condition?"

The man looked at his wife who was fast asleep. With a gasp, Jean looked at the doctor who looked tense, his tone sounded very careful.

The doctor subconsciously glanced at Harold and the others, he then shifted his gaze to look at Jean, but he didn't hesitate anymore. "The patient was injured in the head, and we just took a CT of her brain. Judging from the results, there was swelling in the forehead. Fortunately, the brain tissue was not badly injured and the rest of her body wasn't either. But ..."

The man's heart tightened, his eyes narrowed sharply. "But what?"

The doctor couldn't bear to see Jean's sharp gaze, then he pointed at Lilia's ankle. "She sprained her ankle seriously. When the patient was sent here, her high heels could hardly be removed. Since you are a member of the patient's family, I suggest you forbid the patient to wear high heels while she is recuperating. Otherwise, her ankle won't recover under such circumstances,"

When the doctor was about to say this, he paused for a moment.

Harold's heartbeat suddenly pounded hard. He was already in a heavy mood, and the doctor's somewhat doubtful look almost made him go insane.

He couldn't help but take a step forward and muttered in a low voice. "Can you finish your words at once?"

The doctor pursed his lips helplessly and stared blankly at Harold.

He turned his gaze back to Jean, then pointed his finger at Lilia's stomach again. His face was serious as he said, "Now, we will take the patient to the obstetrics and gynecology department. We just gave the patient a full body CT. When I scanned the uterine cavity, I found some abnormalities. I need to review this further with the obstetrics and gynecology department to do the hCG blood test. For further confirmation."

"What is the hCG blood test?" Harold asked.

Even Jean raised his eyebrows and looked at the doctor with cold eyes.

The emergency room doctor sighed and looked around, his expression turned even sadder. "So you didn't know that the patient might be… pregnant?"

Pregnant?!

That one word single-handedly erased the indifferent look Jean had on his face and changed it into a great shock.

Even though his face returned to normal in a short time, if looked closely, everyone would see that the emotions in his eyes were not calm.

There was a surge of emotions in his eyes.

Lilia was carrying his baby....

At this moment, Harold was also dumbfounded.

He could hear his heart breaking, letting all kinds of emotions flood his mind and made him stop thinking for a while.

The doctor looked at Jean as the man quickly regained his composure and calmed his mind. He calmly said, "The specific results will be determined by the obstetrics and gynecology department and they'll give us a detailed answer. But I would like to remind you that pregnant women should avoid radioactive tests such as CT during early months of their pregnancy."

"However, the circumstance today is an exception. Before we performed first aid measures and examinations, we did not know the patient's physical condition. We have also done the examination in the hospital system records and there is no record of her antenatal care. We can only find out if the child is safe after we receive the answer from the obstetrics and gynecology department," he added.

Harold could only hear a buzz in his eardrums, he turned his gaze to Lilia who was unconscious in the hospital bed. He wanted to get closer to see her, but he was filled with guilt and couldn't move a single step.

How could it happen to her?

Why did it feel like all troubles befall them at the same time?

When Jean heard the doctor's explanation, his aura drastically changed. His pupils shrank in an instant, as if his eyes were empty and his thin lips formed a straight line.

The doctor didn't say anything further, he just stared at the man for a moment and sighed while shaking his head. Together with the nurse, he took Lilia to the obstetrics and gynecology section to be examined.

Jean was still standing where he was, his eyes were blank as he stared at the cold floor beneath him. A moment later, he inhaled a deep breath to calm himself then walked towards the obstetrics and gynecology department with a stern look.

...

News of Lilia's accident immediately spread wildly throughout the country.

This afternoon, Jean received countless calls on his phone, but he ignored them all.

He had been standing outside the special ward of the obstetrics and gynecology department, motionless and terrified.

"Why aren't you picking my call?" Chris' deep voice came from behind as he approached closer.

This afternoon, Chris was still dealing with matters in his company when he suddenly heard the news from his employees while they were talking about Lilia. Only when he opened the news on the internet did Chris find out the whole story and immediately called Jean.

It was unfortunate that he couldn't reach his friend from his phone since none of his calls were answered.

He thought that there should be a lot of people calling Jean to ask about the situation. Then he went to ask some people and immediately rushed off to the hospital when he heard that Lilia was currently treated at Minerva Hospital.

After looking around the building for a while, he met with Jean in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. As he walked from the other side of the corridor, he saw Jean's figure standing by the wall, looking really bad.

Chris walked over to Jean's side, raised his hand and tapped him on the shoulder.

He looked around and found that they were in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Didn't the news on the internet say that Lilia had an accident? Why was Jean waiting in the obstetrics and gynecology department?

Chris wanted to ask a few questions, but when he turned his head to look at Jean, he found that the man's eyes were so red. Chris felt that this was not the right time to ask him. Jean might kill him if he decided to ask about whatever came to his mind right now.

'This...'

His heart suddenly sank at the guess, his brows were knitted together as he asked in his low voice, "What's the situation?"

Jean looked at him indifferently without saying anything.

This made Chris feel that Jean was filled with rage, it seemed like his anger was ready to explode at any moment.

Chris didn't dare to ask again.

He stood silent beside Jean, and as soon as he was about to turn around, he heard the sound of the cell phone vibrating.

After reaching into his pocket, he realized that Jean's phone was vibrating.

No wonder his calls were not answered, it turned out that Jean didn't care to pick them up.

Outside the doors of the obstetrics and gynecology department, the two men stood in front of the ward and waited a long time.

Since this wasn't a public ward, only a few patients could be seen along with nurses and doctors passing by every now and then.

About twenty minutes later, the door to the ward was finally opened.
