Chapter 39

There was a loud bang as Chester kicked the restroom door open. He gaped at Angelina, who was curled up on the ground. She looked nothing like she had mere seconds ago. "What's wrong?" he demanded. "Angie…" Isadora gasped when she saw the scene. "How did this happen? Why is she bleeding so much?" "I was with her the whole time during the prenatal check-up. She was fine!" Emily said as tears of panic rolled down her cheeks. Knocks came from outside the door. "Doctor, she's bleeding—there's a lot of blood!" Chester's mind was blank as he gazed at the limp woman in his arms. "Angelina! Angelina, stay with me! Angelina…" She had already passed out, but he did not stop calling out to her even as he bolted downstairs where the ambulance was waiting. Angelina heard Chester calling her name, but she couldn't get a single word out. It wasn't until she had been strapped to a stretcher and an oxygen mask had been placed over the lower half of her face that she regained some consciousness.
