Erica took several deep breaths. She still couldn't believe what she had witnessed. Never before had she seen so much blood! Weak-kneed, she followed Watkins to the car and climbed into the passenger seat.
Watkins reversed his damaged car, bypassed Camille's parked vehicle, and pressed hard on the accelerator
Phoebe screamed the whole way. Erica's hands turned white as her grip on the seat belt became tighter and tighter. She tried to recall what had led to the accident. How did Phoebe fall?
A little over ten minutes Later, Watkins rushed into the hospital's outpatient department with the bleeding pregnant woman in his arms
Mindless of the blood covering her, Camille followed closely.
Erica didn't get out of the car. She pulled out her phone and dialed
Matthew's number. Her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Matthew, Phoebe had an accident.
Half an hour Later, Matthew and Owen arrived at the hospital.
The light above the emergency room was still on, and in the corridor, stood the bloodstained Watkins and Camille.
When Matthew searched the room, he found Erica leaning against a wall far from the emergency room. She appeared so distraught and lost in thought that she didn't even notice that Matthew had stepped out of the elevator.
Concern laced his voice as he asked, “Are you all right?"
Her eyes blinked rapidly, as though seeing the man for the first time.
It was only then that Erica snapped out of shock. A tear slid down her cheek, and her red lips quivered.
"She...the baby... is gone..."
This was what the doctor had said when he asked Camille to sign the surgery risk notice.
Matthew frowned.
“What happened?"
Erica shook her head. She was still trying to process the news that
Phoebe had miscarried.
Not wanting to pressure her, Matthew approached the other two people in the room. When he saw Watkins, his frown deepened. He asked Camille first, "Tell me what led to this!"
Camille's eyes narrowed as she turned to where Erica was standing
Hatred glimmered in her eyes as she spat out, "It's her fault! She pushed Phoebe to the ground. Her actions caused my sister to lose her child!"
Erica was shocked by her sudden accusation. She hadn't done anything to
Phoebe!
