After a momentâs pause, she clutched the bedding tightly, her voice choked with emotion.
âI canât believe this! How could he leave me?â
Sonia hesitated for a moment before handing Ariana her phone.
A news report appeared on the screen.
Ariana glanced at it briefly, and then tossed the phone away in anger.
She held her forehead and said, âI wonât accept it! I have to find him, no matter what! Alive or not, Iâm leaving this hospital to search for him!â
Sonia, feeling the weight of Arianaâs distress, tried to stop her.
Tears welled up in her own eyes as she spoke.
âThe Anderson family is no more.
Theodore was cremated and buried.
I saw his body, Ariana.
â
Ariana sat on the bed, her expression numb and distant.
After a while, the grief inside her became too much to bear, and she broke down in tears, lamenting, âWhy, why did this happen? Why am I so useless? Why couldnât I find help to save him?â
Sonia held Ariana close as she wept, both of them drowning in sorrow.
âYou have to stay strong,â Sonia urged, âYou still have your babies to take care of.
â
Ariana teetered on the brink of a breakdown, her emotions swirling Like a tempest.
Then, out of nowhere, a sharp pang pierced her lower abdomen, and the white bed sheet was immediately smeared with blood.
Soniaâs heart raced with fear, and she wasted no time in calling for a doctor.
In a flash, a team of people burst into the room, and they hurriedly wheeled Ariana away into the operating room.
After a whole lot of struggle, they managed to get the bleeding under control, and Sonia hurried over to inquire about Arianaâs condition.
The doctorâs face was grim as he held the medical report.
âHer stats donât Look good, and traces of drugs are still in her blood.
Itâs not advisable for her to continue to carry the pregnancy.
I recommend induced abortion.
â
At the mention of the induced abortion, Sonia hesitated, knowing how much Ariana would want to keep the children, no matter what.
When Ariana woke up, she gathered all her strength and clung to the doctorâs sleeve.
Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, âPlease, please save my children.
Theyâre all I have.
â
The doctor looked troubled by the situation and replied, âGiven the medical facilities here, itâs a tough call.
You might have better chances if you transfer to another hospital, but even then, there is no guarantee.
â
With those words, Arianaâs heart felt Like it was breaking into pieces.
She desperately wracked her brain for a possible solution.

She was determined not to lose their children after Losing Theodore.
Then, an idea struck her.
Trembling, she dialed a number, hoping for a miracle.
The call went through, and with tears in her eyes, she begged, âDr.
Chadwick, please, Iâm begging you, help me.
â
Five years passed, and a poised woman stood before her husbandâs tombstone at the cemetery, paying her respects to his memory.
The stone tablet bore a few words marking Theodoreâs resting place.
Ariana gently stroked the gravestone, feeling a mix of nostalgia and sorrow.
After spending some time there, she wiped away her tears and left a bouquet of flowers as a final gesture.
Then she took her leave.
As she was leaving the cemetery, she heard Soniaâs voice calling out, âAriana!â
