Female Novel
Chapter 132
As Angeline retreated in fear from a livid Ned, she missed her footing.
She fell down the stairs, followed by a cry from the crowd.
Despite the amplifying noise around her, Angeline could only feel an excruciating pain in herstomach.
She clutched her stomach tightly in pain and felt heat streaming out of her body as thoughsomething was slowly flowing out of her.
Angeline wished someone could save her twins—the only family she had left.
"Angie!"
Angeline dazedly spotted Sean rushing toward her through the crowd.
"Sean…"
Angeline reached out a hand to Sean, attempting to tell him to save their babies. But darkness soonconsumed her consciousness, and her hand fell limp as she fainted.
"Angie!"
Sean kneeled and wrapped Angeline in his coat.
He carried her and yelled, "Send us to the hospital!"
At the operating theater in the hospital, Taylor hung up his phone and walked toward Sean with ahardened expression.
"Sir, they've checked the surveillance camera. It seems like Ms. Angeline fell down the stairs whiletrying to back away from something."
"From what?" Sean asked with a blank expression.
"We don't know. It's a blindspot for the surveillance camera. We'll just have to ask Ms. Angelinewhen she wakes up," Taylor replied.
"Where were the bodyguards during that time?" Sean asked.
Fear crossed Taylor's face as he said, "Ms. Angeline told them to wait outside the conference hall.They only rushed forward when they noticed someone dragging Ms. Angeline away. But when theyarrived, she had already fallen down the stairs."
"Useless!"
Anger surged deep within Sean's heart, causing him to flush scarlet and lose his composure.
"Keep searching! And find out where Ned Fletcher was last night!"
Sean had an inexplicable hunch that Ned was involved in this accident.novelbin
Soon, Angeline's operation was over.
The doctor told Sean regretfully, "We tried our best. Unfortunately, we couldn't save the babies."
"It's okay, doctor. It's fine as long as my wife is safe. Thank you so much!" Sean said sincerely.
"It's no trouble. It's part of my job," the doctor said.
"Mrs. Lawson will be out after another two hours of observation. Please wait in the meantime."
Before he left, the doctor turned around to take another look at Sean. He made a phone call whenhe returned to his office.
"I've told him the babies were gone as you ordered. So, will you be transferring me the promisedmoney?"
Sean had been staying by Angeline's side since she left the observation room.
She had lost her adopted mother and her sister recently. Her reason for not aborting her pregnancywas different from Sean's, as she cared about her last remaining family in the world.
Sean wondered if she would have an emotional breakdown when she woke up and learned thatthey had lost the twins.
Sean held Angeline's hand tightly and lightly kissed her palm.
How should he console her when she woke up?
Angeline was passed out for three days. And when she woke up, she felt a harsh pain, as ifsomeone had broken her bones.
"You're awake."
Angeline heard Robert's voice and turned to look out the window. She became visibly nervous.
Angeline remembered Ned choking her. When she was about to suffocate, she missed a step andfell down the stairs of the conference hall.
She suddenly thought of her babies.
Angeline pressed her belly.
Robert closed his book and took off his reading glasses.
He looked at Angeline with sunken eyes under his thick eyebrows and said, "Sean has been stayingby your side for three days straight. He was exhausted and just left for his hotel to clean himself up."
