Chapter 63
Chapter 63 Brother-in-law Or Husband
Carol was startled. "Doctor, doctor, can this child be saved?"
"We need to transfuse blood first to assess the situation. Sophia is in a bit of danger. We'll do our utmost to save the baby, but if the situation is too severe, we usually prioritize saving Sophia's life..."
"It doesn't matter, just forget about her life or death. As long as the baby can be saved!"
The doctor gave her a stern look. "Are you really Sophia's family? If Sophia's life can't be saved, how can the baby be saved? She's only been pregnant for over four months. If Sophia dies, the baby won't survive either!" Carol was a bit flustered. "Oh, right, she's only been pregnant for less than five months. I forgot in my panic..."
The doctor snorted. "Hurry up and arrange for blood donation. Both Sophia and the baby are waiting for blood to save their lives!"
"Alright, alright, I'll make the call right away..."
Carol said this, but she had no confidence at all.
Sophia didn't have many family members to begin with, and even if she did, Carol couldn't contact them. What should she do?
Carol was in a state of panic, and Nathan tried to calm her down. "Mom, forget it. If we lose this one, I'll give you several grandsons in the future."
"Shut up! I asked a witch, and she told me the baby was a boy. If we lose this one, what if I only have grandaughters in the future? Our Reed family needs sons to inherit."
Nathan rubbed his nose. "The probability of having all daughters is too low. We'll have sons eventually. Mom, you've always been dissatisfied with Sophia, right? If she loses this child, I'll find a gentle wife who can take care of you and help our family have sons. How about that?"
Carol was a little shaken by his words. "Do you already have a candidate?"
"Yes, I do. As soon as I'm separated from Sophia, I'll marry her immediately."
Carol was somewhat displeased. "Since you already have a new candidate, why did you chase after that b.itch Emily when she came to see you today? Let me tell you, she's regretting it now, reluctant to give up the money and power of our Reed family, wanting to come back to you. Don't be fooled by her."
"Mom, Emily is not like that."
"Who says she's not? Did you know who the masked man was? He told me that he's Emily's boyfriend, and he's a fugitive, threatening to kill me! Emily is a b.itch now. Why do you want a woman like her?" Nathan was puzzled. "Boyfriend? But Jackson..."
Could it be that Emily's new boyfriend wasn't Jackson, but someone else?
That mysterious masked man...
"Yes, the two of them were hugging and kissing right in front of me! Nathan, don't let her deceive you. She probably just wants to swindle money from you and help her boyfriend sneak across the border!" Nathan knew Emily wasn't that kind of woman.
Just moments ago, on the path outside the mansion, he was almost holding out his bank card to Emily, but she showed no intention of taking money. Emily had truly made up her mind not to be with him anymore. With his male intuition, the man with the mask might be a much bigger threat than Jackson's threats.
"Nathan, are you even listening to me? Hurry up and call the police. It's best to arrest Bert and the masked fugitive together!"
This time, Nathan was a bit shaken.
He didn't want to call the police to
arrest Emily's uncle, fearing it would permanently damage his
relationship with her, leaving no
room for reconciliation. But that net
masked man... If Emily kept rejecting him because of him, and he got arrested and sentenced, Emily's feelings might slowly come back.
There's another point, Emily's father needs expensive medical treatment, and it's likely that the man gave her the money. If he gets arrested, even if it's for the sake of saving her father's life, Emily would have to come to him for help.
Nathan quickly pulled out his phone. "Alright, I'll make the call now."
Nathan briefly explained the situation, and the police immediately said they would send someone to investigate the Reed mansion. Nathan gave them the address and hung up. "Did you make the call?"
"I did. The police said they would arrive at the house very soon."
Carol sighed in relief, patting her chest. "That's good, otherwise I wouldn't go home tonight."
The doctor came out again, urgently saying, "Why are you still standing here? Sophia's blood pressure has dropped to a dangerous level. Do you not want to save her?!"
Carol and Nathan both hesitated involuntarily.
Carol shrugged helplessly. "Doctor, it's not that we're not looking for someone, it's that we can't contact her family. There's really nothing we can do."
The doctor became angry. "Aren't you Sophia's family? How can't you contact her relatives? At the very least, her husband should be here, right?" He looked at Nathan. "Are you Sophia's husband?"
Carol tugged at Nathan's sleeve, gesturing for him not to speak.
"He's not."
"Not?" The doctor looked at them suspiciously. "Then what relation are you to Sophia?" Nathan said, "I'm her brother-in-law, and this is my mother."
"Oh, you're her brother-in-law. That explains it," the doctor calmed down a bit. "Sorry about that, I thought you were those kinds of people who only care about the child and not the mother's life. But if you're her brother-in-law, you should be able to contact her sister, right? Hurry up
е
and call her sister to come over. Sophia's condition really can't wait any longer."
From the room came Sophia's hysterical shout, "He's not my brother-in-law, he's the father of my child!"
Sophia's desperation made her scream with all her might.
Carol hurriedly interrupted her, "Have you gone mad? Stop it!"
Veins bulged on Sophia's neck. "All of you Reeds are devils! I painstakingly conceived an heir for your Reed family, but you don't care about my life! You're simply inhuman!"
The doctor's gaze at them had changed from apologetic to disdainful.
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
