The Exchangeable Marriage

Happiness in The Sorrow

"Charlie hang on, boy!" madison's tears accompanied her beautiful daughter who was lying weakly on the hospital bed and unconscious.

Fresh blood continued to flow from his groin accompanied by a reddish-colored liquid. At first Charlie was just complaining of pain in his stomach, and the incident happened so quickly, suddenly the reddish liquid immediately flowed out along with fresh blood.

Frantic and unconscious, Madison immediately called an ambulance and took Charlie to the hospital as soon as possible.

Arriving at the hospital, Mr. Madison contacted Andrew to come after them.

That is, until they finally arrived at the hospital to see Charlie's condition that night. Charlie was immediately put in the delivery room. The obstetrician took immediate action to operate on Charlie to save the child in his womb.

For several hours they waited, the sound of a baby crying. They also stood up.

"Oh, that's Charlie's son. May she be well," Madison said, linking her palms together.

"He'll be fine. Charlotte is not a weak woman" Camilla said confidently.

Madison looked at Camilla and hugged her. "After this, go home to your own house, Milla," Madison asked.

Andrew watched Camilla, waiting for an answer from the tomboyish-impressed girl.

"I don't want to. That's not my house. You have indirectly dumped me. I'm missing but you're not looking for me. I'm sure you knew by then that the one who married Andrew was Charlie. Why are you guys quiet?" ask Camilla calmly.

Madison and Mr Madison were silent, not grinning. They are always silent when arguing with Camilla, therefore they consider Camilla intelligent and Camilla is also the one who has raised the degree of Madison family with intelligence.

After waiting, the hospital obstetrician came out and gave an explanation to Andrew and the Madison family who immediately approached the doctor.

"How, Doctor?" ask Mr and Mrs Madison.

"We had to get the baby out first so that she would be safe and not drink too much amniotic fluid. Miss Madison's baby is currently in the NICU room due to premature birth and jaundice. We try our best to help Miss Madison's son stay alive" the doctor said.

*NICU: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

* Jaundice: yellow

Mr and Mrs Madison held hands, as did Camilla and Andrew. With the intention of strengthening Camilla, Andrew embraced Camilla's waist.

"How's Charlie doing? My kid?" ask Madame Madison sobbing.

The doctor shook his head. Squeezing Camilla's knees as soon as the doctor shook her head with a look of despair.

"Today, his mother is still very weak. It's lacking nutrition. The pregnant mother should meet her nutritional needs. Because they will struggle when giving birth to the baby, as well as when the mother must breastfeed the baby or take care of it. Therefore, women who are pregnant should not lack nutrients" said the doctor. His tone was more to rebuke the Madison family who had let Charlie eat as he pleased.

"He's on a diet, doctor. I've often scolded her for not dieting" Madison's soft voice sounded very defensive of her daughter.

The doctor was upset. "I am a parent who does not love his child! What if he catches up or doesn't survive the pain?" the doctor devoured Madison's plea.

"We have tried as much as possible, fluids and vitamins have also been given to patients. Miss Madison is also blood-stained and we happen to have the same blood type as Miss Madison. Right now we just have to wait for Miss Madison to wake up" the doctor explained.

After saying goodbye to Madison's family, the doctor left Charlie's room.

A nurse approached them and said, "After the new realization we will move the patient to a regular inpatient room" the nurse said.

Madison's family is allowed to see Charlie from behind the hospital's glass.

"Papa let Charlie go on a diet when Papa found out that Charlie was pregnant. He should have eaten a lot instead of dieting!" madison turned the blame entirely on Mr. Madison.

"I've let it to a normal life! Even I freed him to hang out with William Scott" said Mr. Madison.

Quarrels and arguments ensued between Madison's master and mistress.

In the middle of the commotion came a man who had spent the last few months with Charlie.

"Good night Mr and Mrs Madison" said the man.

"Will! What are you here for?" ask Mr. Madison.

"Of course I want to know the latest condition of the woman I love and my son" Will replied straightforwardly. He forgot Andrew and Camilla were behind the Madison family.

"Let him rest first, Will," said Mr. Madison.

Will walked up to Charlie's room and saw for a moment how he was doing. As soon as he returned to Charlie's room he realized that there was Andrew and Camilla listening to the conversation between him and the Madison family.

Andrew smiled as he lifted and shook his phone. He had recorded the entire conversation between Will and Mr. Madison.

"We just have to wait for when Goddess Fortuna will be on my side?" sahut Andrew and returned to where he had originally sat.

William's face flushed as if he had just been slapped by a sizable hand. "What are you gonna do with that tape, Andrew?" ask Will.

"Of course I'm going to hand it over to the police," Andrew replied with a smile.

Just as Will is about to reply to Andrew's words, the nurse runs and enters Charlie's room. Madison's family, Andrew and Will, approach Charlie's room to see what happens.

The nurses gave Charlie quick action while Mr and Mrs Madison held hands and cried in front of the room.

Before long, Charlie opened his eyes and looked around. After that he felt his stomach, and suddenly he shouted. "Yeah! Where is my son! Where's the baby in here?" ask Charlie to the nurse.

"Your baby is being cleaned, and we are taking it to the NICU room, because your baby was born prematurely" the nurse replied.

"So, is he still alive?" Charlie asked again.

A nurse with a wacky body gives Charlie an answer. "Of course he's still alive" the nurse replied, hiding her laughter.

Then the nurse invites the Madison family to go into Charlie's room and deliver some dishes to Charlie.

"Eat a lot of money you've just lost a lot of blood" said Mr. Madison loudly.

"Your baby will be in the NICU room for 24 hours and when it's done they will bring your baby here" Madison comforted.

They also took turns in and out of Charlie's room because Charlie needed a lot of rest and was prohibited for the arrival of guests or visitors on the sidelines of his recovery.

When morning came, a small nurse came to bring them news of their grief. "Pardon us, we have lost Miss Madison's son" the nurse said.

Charlie hid his smile when he heard his son was gone.

Unlike Will, he was very sad because his baby failed to be saved. According to the agreement Charlie had made with him, if Charlie managed to take care of the boy to the size of his age, Will would help him to get half the wealth of the Oak family, but if Charlie loses his son then all Charlie's crimes that they have done for 5 years will be disseminated by Will.
