The smell of alcohol and drugs that sting in the room all white. Lorie's body lying weakly on the bed slowly moved. A faint murmur sounded from his dry lips. His eyelids move irregularly. His brows were linked as if to indicate that the woman was having a nightmare.
Doctor Ana who was standing guard beside him immediately pressed the button to call the nurse. He then approached and called his best friend, “Lorie, can you hear me?”
He rubbed Lorie's non-infused arm in a very careful motion. Lorie responded by moving her fingers slowly.
“Lorie, which one is uncomfortable?”
Lorie groaned and opened her eyes, but due to the glare of the lights, she again closed her eyes and tilted her head.
So hurt.
The frown on Lorie's forehead deepened. The smell of the medicine made him nauseous and a countless amount of pain came from the bottom of his stomach and eroded his consciousness. Faintly his memories gathered together one after another, the layers of mist enveloping his brain slowly faded away. Everything seems clear and clear. However, the clearer the picture was, the harder Lorie's body trembled.
“She is conscious, please check her condition,” pinta Ana to the doctor in charge of handling Lorie. He walked away and gave way to the doctors and nurses who had just arrived.
The doctor nodded at a glance and began to carry out his duties swiftly, examining Lorie's overall physical condition.
“The patient's condition is stable. The bleeding has stopped. If in the next few hours Miss Lorie has a fever, just call me,” said the doctor.
“Good, thank you,” Reply Ana.
After the doctor left, Lorie's gaze slowly dimmed. The doctor did not mention the baby at all. Although he can guess it in his heart, but he wants to make sure for himself whether the baby ...
There aren't.
Lorie's hand that touched the surface of her stomach suddenly trembled. His stomach no longer rotted. There were no more small movements that had accompanied him lately at night. The baby .. no more.
Two drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. At first it was weak, plus the hard impact .. she was not sure the baby would survive. However, now that he knew the child was gone, a chill ran through his entire body and made his body shake violently.
“Do not move much. You have to rest,” persuade Ana while reaching for Lorie's fingers and grasping them tightly.
Lorie simply stared straight at the ceiling of the room and did not make any more movements. Noiseless. Does not respond, hardly even blinks. If it wasn't a monitor that gave off a steady heartbeat, Ana would probably have thought that her best friend had turned into a statue.
“Lorie ... I know this is very heavy for you, but there we are here .. you are not alone,” whispered the Doctor. His face was filled with bitterness. He knew what the baby meant to Lorie. It is cruel when one has to lose one's only hope.
While Ana is still confused about what else to say, the door suddenly opens and Alex and Billy step in. The two men were stunned for a moment in front of the door, staring with the look of asking towards Doctor Ana.
Doctor Ana only beckoned with her eyes and shook her head slowly. Seeing that, Alex did not say anything, just went to the sofa and sat quietly there. Billy caught up with the man and stood up like a dazed person. There was an upheaval in his mind and he didn't know what to do.
As the four people were still in a cold and awkward atmosphere, the door opened again. Shortly thereafter Raymond stepped in very carefully.
Billy glares at her and wants to get to her, but Alex blocks her wrist and signals her not to do anything. Billy could only snort and stare at Raymond cynically.
Lorie who was lying on the bed kept daydreaming and busy with her own thoughts. He did not care about the presence of others in the room. His soul was sucked into a black hole and lost. The stronger he tried to get out of there, the further he fell into the bottomless pit. The sounds buzzing in his head were becoming clearer .. the closer .. the firmer it echoed in his eardrums.
In a flash Lorie's pupils shrank.
That ... it was the sound of a baby crying. A very heart-wrenching sound of crying. Babies who cry incessantly .. sound very sorry and suffering.
“Lorie!” doctor Ana shouted as she saw Lorie's body begin to spasm.
“Call doctor! Quickly call a doctor!” he screamed in panic.
In an instant the temperature of that quiet and cold room increased drastically. Raymond reacted first and pressed the emergency button. He then stood like a dazed man by the side of the bed.
The pain hit his chest hard.
He would rather die than see Lorie like this.
