Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0227

Nicholas’s eyes were thick with emotion. “Let’s go to the hospital. I will give you a satisfying answer.”

My vision was blurry, but I felt like I actually understood the look in his eyes. for the first time ever. I trusted that he was truly going to give me a

satisfying answer this time.

Gazing at him, I smiled and hummed in acknowledgment, despite the throbbing pain in my heart. In a daze, I let him carry me out.

The scenery before by in an instant, but my vision gradually blurred and shifted into a large patch of red. I was consciously unconscious. Not knowing whether it was a dream, I pondered a lot of things.

This was all just a show. But was it really? The agony I felt was real, and it was a fact that I had lost my child. The anguish I felt was also genuine. Then how could I remain detached and treat everything like a show?

But if this wasn’t a show, what was it? I had anticipated this, hadn’t I?

As I was unable to process my thoughts any longer, my vision turned black. couldn’t figure it out, so I stopped trying.

Due to my miscarriage, the doctor told me I needed to rest for at least at week. But I couldn’t wait.

Claudia’s news blew up on the internet, and her reputation plummeted drastically.

Daniel had also just learned that I was pregnant, but before he could celebrate the idea of having a grandchild, my miscarriage made the headlines.
