Chapter 1680

Returning to her apartment would inevitably lead to an encounter with Benny, an encounter she wished to avoid at all costs now.

Stella’s home wasn’t an option either.

Flossie couldn’t burden her friend with her troubles, especially amidst preparations for Stella’s upcoming wedding.

Besides, explaining the chaos in her mind seemed impossible.

“You can take me anywhere, just drive.

” After issuing the instruction, Flossie leaned wearily against the car window.

Throughout this period, her phone incessantly rang, each call originating from either Edmund or Benny.

Flossie steadfastly declined every incoming call.

Silence enveloped the car as Flossie remained lost in her thoughts, the driver navigating aimlessly as per her request.

A gentle breeze caressed her face, yet Flossie remained unable to find solace.

It felt as though her breath was constricted in her chest, nearly suffocating her.

Particularly when the realization struck that Jessica’s demise might be connected to her, it intensified her sense of suffocation.

Suddenly, Flossie was gripped by a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Clenching her teeth, she attempted to alleviate the discomfort, but within moments, a warm trickle ran down her thighs.

Bowing her head, she observed the blood pooling around her shins, causing her distress to surge.

Flossie panicked.

She cherished her unborn child dearly and couldn’t bear the thought of any harm befalling it.

“Sir… Please, drive to the nearest hospital immediately!” Flossie pleaded urgently.

Glancing at her through the rearview mirror, the driver noted her distressed appearance.

Without hesitation, he pressed down on the accelerator and inquired with concern, “Are you alright, Miss? Should I contact your family?”

At that moment, Flossie’s mind raced to Benny and Edmund.

However, she hesitated to reach out to them.

As the pain in her abdomen intensified and agony contorted her expression, she managed to utter, “No, I’ll manage on my own.

Just take me to the hospital.

”

Without a word, the driver accelerated, hastening their journey to the hospital.

Upon arrival, Flossie was swiftly ushered into the emergency room.

The sight of her bleeding prompted the nurse to summon the doctor immediately.

The doctor wasted no time in conducting an examination, her expression grave as she delivered the diagnosis.

“You’re displaying symptoms indicative of an early miscarriage.

You must remain hospitalized for observation.

”

Flossie’s heart sank at the news.

“Doctor, please, do everything you can to save my baby.

The doctor said, “We’ll do everything in our power, but your condition is quite precarious at the moment.

You must remain calm; don’t let your emotions impact the baby.

I’ll have the nurse administer an intravenous drip shortly.

Do you have any family members with you?”

“I don’t have any family,” Flossie said after hesitating for a moment, followed by a slow shake of her head.

The doctor, seasoned by years of hospital experience, maintained a composed demeanor.

“Alternatively, you could request a friend to accompany you.

Being alone isn’t advisable in your current condition.

There’s a possibility of requiring surgery at any moment, and you’ll need someone to consent on your behalf.

”

In that moment, Flossie came to the stark realization that she had no one but herself to depend on during life’s most crucial junctures.
