The calamity comes without us guessing, whoever we are doomed can come and go without permission.
Eldric waited for the doctor who was checking Karina's condition. The man was all for his stupidity, not wanting it to happen to his wife. Karina asks Eldric not to bring the bodyguards as they go together. She was sure her husband could take good care of her, he always said he wanted to be alone. Should El ignore his wife's request, he should be able to be more assertive.
El immediately got up from his seat as a doctor walked out of the room.
"How's my wife doing?" todong Eldric's.
"Fetal placenta detaches from the uterine wall due to a hard impact. Your fetal heart rate is weakened, we have to operate on the patient immediately otherwise this will harm both the mother and the fetus."
El tried to strengthen his body to stand. He didn't want to believe what the doctor had just said. Carina pregnancy is very prone to premature birth and complications. Moreover, there is a special fetus in the womb.
However, no matter how he prepared himself for the worst possible event, his heart still felt pain. He could no longer imagine if anything worse happened to Karina.
"Do your best, Doctor" said Eldric in a trembling voice.
"Keep Your Heart Mister, Your wife is in desperate need of support from You now. I will prepare the operating room" said the doctor who was answered nod by Eldric.
"May I come in, Doc?"
"Please." The doctor then stepped away.
Hospital VVIP patients are given special access to be accompanied by the family.
Eldric took a deep breath. Slowly he pushed the door of the room.El tried to hold back the tears. Several nuns and a midwife were preparing to perform anasthesis.
Karina had been wearing green sterile clothes, Karina was lying on her side while tightly hugging her knees, the pregnant woman was curled up like a ball.
Eldric stepped quickly near his wife, but a nurse restrained him.
"What did you do to my wife?" asked Eldric with his voice rising.
"Sorry sir, the midwife is doing an epidural induction, please wait a minute," prevent the nurse.
Eldric finally relented, he just stood there looking at the wife who was receiving an injection of anesthesia. After the midwife finished El as fast as lightning stepped closer.
"Honey," call El gently.
Karina's eyes that had been closed slowly opened, she stared fixedly at the husband's face with her eyes that had been glazed. Eldric grabbed his wife's hand, peeling it many times.
"I'm sorry" he said guiltily.
Karina just shook her head, she tried to endure the pain from the injection earlier. El kissed her forehead gently.
"illness?"
Karina nodded, her hand gripping her husband's hand. Karina tried to channel the pain she felt.
"The operating room is ready, we'll take the Madam now" said a nurse who was wearing sterile clothes.
"I'm scared" said Karina.
The heart that he had prepared in fact could not strengthen himself now. Since the beginning Karina has been warned about her pregnancy at risk of premature birth and surgery, Karina has tried to prepare herself. But the pregnant woman was still terrified.
"I'll accompany you."
"really?"
"certain." El kissed his wife before taking a few steps back.
The sisters begin pushing Karina's gurney, while another nun invites El to sterilize her before entering the operating room.
💫💫💫
Eldric met his wife in the operating room, trying to strengthen himself. El realizes he's the only person there for his wife right now. Karina needs.
After an hour the operation was finally completed. Because of premature birth, Karina's baby was immediately taken to the NICU to be warmed and get special care. While the mother was transferred to the post-surgery area, where doctors and nurses will continue to monitor her.
"Darling where's our baby?" asked Karina with her weak voice.
The woman looked pale and very exhausted.
"He's in the baby room, Honey. You don't have to worry, rest. After that I'll take you to see him" said Eldric.
"Is he healthy? I want to see it now" whined Karina.
"Later, you need a break too. Zoe wouldn't like it if she saw her mother exhausted like this. According." Eldric kissed his wife's forehead down to both eyelids and his pale aunt.
"Zoe, what a name. Then what's our baby boy's name?" ask karina.
"Zack, Zack Hugo. Sorry Honey, you can't see it" said Eldric.
Eldric did not want Karina to see the remains of their baby, which he feared Karina would be shocked to see.
"Why?"
"I must bury him immediately" said Eldric.
"Em .. At least I've been with him for a few months. He's a good boy, he'll always look after zoe. Aye?" Karina stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.
"They're all great kids, 'cause you're a great mom. Go to sleep, you need to rest yourself."
Karina nodded, she slowly closed her eyes. His body felt weak he wanted to rest for a moment.
