"Sorry Mr. Nick, your baby we can't save!"
Degs...
Nick was stunned on the spot with a paled face, the answer he got from the doctor as if a big blow hit his head, even now his ears started to ring, he said, his gaze began to faint and it was as if all the energy was released from his body. The two limp feet were unable to support the weight of the body, the man was drowning on the floor still with a blank look.
"Nick," Zea knelt down and hugged the body of her son who was each dazed, only this time Zea saw Nick so sad. Zea and Adel then help Nick to sit down, after which Zea returns to see a doctor.
"Then what about my daughter-in-law doc? She's okay, right?" ask Zea to worry.
"Mrs Flo is still critical of the loss of a lot of blood, we will immediately take a curtailing action, please one of the family members sign the consent document," the doctor explained.
"Alright doc," Zea approached Adel who was trying to calm Nick down. "Del, take care of your brother for a second!"
"Yes mom!"
While on the other side of the action room, Nicho stood up with a heart-piercing feeling of guilt. How not, not only did he harm Flo, but he had also made the baby in Flo's womb miscarry, wasn't it the same as he had killed his own flesh and blood?
Zea returned after taking care of the approval documents, shortly after which Flo was taken to the operating room. Nick, Adel and Zea wait anxiously, hoping Flo can get through her critical period.
"How should I explain mom, how should Nick answer if Flo asks about the baby?" Nick is unable to hold back his tears, he is saddened by the loss of their future baby, but Nick is much more afraid to see Flo grieving over a miscarriage.
Zea rubbed Nick's back gently, knowing what her son was worried about. "Don't think about it first, now you better pray that your wife is okay, son," Zea replied sadly because she couldn't answer if Flo asked about the baby either, because any answer will not be easily accepted by a mother who has just lost their baby.
After nearly an hour of waiting, Flo finally came out of the operating room and was transferred to the treatment room. Fortunately Flo was able to pass the critical period, but the woman was still unconscious despite almost two hours she was transferred to the ward.
Not a second Nick released Flo's hand, his gaze was only on the wife's pale face. No matter how many tears came out, but Nick could not control himself, his tears kept dripping, soaking the wounds in his heart.
The news of Flo's miscarriage had reached the ears of Mr. Tan and Rospita, both of whom rushed to the hospital, during the trip Mr. Tan looked so anxious, in contrast to Rospita who looks to hold a happy smile because she has managed to get rid of the baby in the womb Flo. Rospita is also happy because he does not need to dirty his own hands, in this case Nicho is the perfect chess piece for him.
Rospita held her husband's hand, she didn't want him to make a fuss. "Yes, let him go. We should see Flo soon!"
Hearing his son's name, Mr. Tan instantly let go of his grip. "I won't let you be around my daughter!" said Mr. Tan pitched a threat, after he entered the inpatient room.
"Dad," said Nick in a hoarse voice, the man moved from his seat and approached his father-in-law. Nick bowed before Mr. Tan, feeling so embarrassed because he could not keep his promise. "I'm sorry, Nick can't take care of Flo well" Nick said.
Mr. Tan patted the daughter-in-law's arm, although she didn't know what was really going on, but she also didn't want to blame her daughter-in-law. "It's all fate, don't blame yourself Nick!"
Mr. Tan then approached Flo, he could not bear to see the condition of his daughter. "That's so you son," she screeches with teary eyes.
Rospita played her role again as a good mother, the woman came crying with fake tears. "Flo must be very sad mas, how we should entertain him later," he said with a sob.
Nick looked at Rospita, accidentally seeing a faint smile on the face of the crafty woman. From the beginning he knew that Rospita and Flo did not have a good relationship, but Nick never expected that Rospita could be that cruel, he smiled over Flo's suffering.
"Ni-Nick's."
Nick's attention was distracted when he heard a soft voice, he turned his head and immediately approached the bed when he saw Flo starting to open his eyes.
"Darling, you're awake" Nick said with relief.
"Nick," call Flo again.
"I'm here, baby. Don't talk too much, the doctor says you need to rest a lot for you to recover quickly, "Nick rubbed Flo's head gently, the man also kissed his wife's forehead affectionately.
"Our baby's okay, isn't Nick?"
SERIATE...
