Chapter 1528
When Love Comes Late
Flossie became anxious.
âDoctor, Iâd rather not have the anesthetic.
â
The doctor stopped and looked at her seriously.
âDo you have an allergy to any medicines? We need to stitch this up or it wonât heal properly.
Itâll be really painful without the numbing agent.
Most people canât handle that kind of pain.
â
Colin tried to convince her.
âYou should listen to the doctor.
â
But Flossie continued to resist, her eyes filling with tears.
âDoctor, Iâm pregnant.
The numbing agent could affect the baby.
Please just stitch it up.
I can handle the pain.
â
The doctor hesitated for a moment before he put the syringe back.
âAlright, brace yourself.
â
Colin remained silent, a storm of confusion brewing in his eyes.
He couldnât recall Flossie ever mentioning a husband or a boyfriend.
How could she be pregnant?
And if she showed signs of miscarriage, she shouldnât be on the show.
What was really going on with her?
Lost in his thoughts, Colin watched as the doctor started stitching Flossieâs wound.
Flossie couldnât help but cry out in pain.
The doctor looked up at Colin.
âTalking with her family could help ease her pain.
â
Suddenly, Colin felt awkward and was at a loss for words.
He touched his nose, not sure what to do.
Flossie said, âThanks for bringing me to the hospital.
If youâve got things to do, you can head out.
My friend will be here soon.
â
âItâs no trouble at all,â Colin replied.
âYou got hurt during the show.
As your
boss, itâs my responsibility to make sure youâre okay.
â
Flossie frowned.
âI appreciate your concern.
Itâs my fault this happened.
Iâm really sorry.
â
Just as he was about to reassure her that it was okay, he suddenly yelped in pain.
Looking down, he saw Flossie biting his arm.
She grimaced and shut her eyes, clearly in a lot of pain.
Hearing his yelp, Flossie let go of her bite.
But then she heard Colin say, âIf it helps with the pain, go ahead and bite.
Donât worry about me.
â
Colin gently patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Flossie began to drift out of consciousness.
The pain was spreading from her arm throughout her body, making her skin ache.
Sweat covered her forehead, and her face turned pale from the pain.
