The Dark Side of a Judge
Chapter 25. Intentional or Not?

Hasna tried as much as possible to calm Maudy down. Actually he also panicked, because it was the first time he saw a pregnant woman who was bleeding. Moreover, Hasna has not been very competent in this field. He was just an ordinary general practitioner, who could only provide first aid in general.

Shortly thereafter, Makutha arrived. They took Maudy to the hospital. Hasna and Makutha waited with their hearts beating irregularly outside the IGD chamber.

"How did this happen?" makutha asked while rubbing a rough face.

"I don't know either, Tha. Finish cleaning him to the bathroom and out in a cramp stomach condition. After I wiped his stomach with warm water, Maudy was bleeding."

While they were guessing the cause of Maudy's bleeding, a middle-aged doctor who treated the woman came out of the IGD. He went straight to Hasna and Makutha.

"How's Maudy doing, Doc?" ask Makutha.

"really lucky! The patient and his future baby were rescued. A little late, the baby will not be helped," explained the obstetrician.

"What causes Maudy to contract, Doc?" ask Hasna curious.

"After laboratory tests, it was found that the patient took misoprostol. You know Na, the effect of the drug if consumed by pregnant women?" Filia, one of the best obstetricians at the Hospital spoke up.

Hasna was stupefied when she heard the words of Philia. He and Makutha stared at each other. Various assumptions came to mind of both.

"It's always better to keep an eye on Maudy, Na. If you need to take him to a psychiatrist. I'm afraid she's taking the drugs on purpose because she doesn't want the baby." Philia tried to give advice to Hasna and Makutha.

"Good, Mom. I'll try to get him to consult a psychiatrist. Thanks for the advice." Hasna smiled thinly.

"All right then. Excuse me." Philia nodded then left Makutha and Hasna.

"Any" said Makutha after Philia had turned away from them.

"Same. I also feel something strange. How could he, she ...." Hasna hung her words in the air, because of another conjecture about Maudy.

"Tha, are you sure Maudy can be trusted?"

Makutha frowned. He did not understand Hasna's words. Makutha rubs her chin, seems to think.

"What do you mean, Na?"

"I'm with Doctor Philia in mind. Maudy may have swallowed the drug on purpose!"

"Ngaco, you!" makutha exclaimed while shaking her palm in front of her face.

"No, Tito said they were looking forward to their baby. So there's no way Maudy would do such a stupid thing! Already, please take good care of Maudy. I'll have a trial soon. Sorry, for being out of touch for a while."

"alright. Careful, Tha."

Makutha left Hasna and went to work. Hasna returned to the IGD. He met Maudy who was still lying limp on top of the gurney.

Maudy's eyes looked wet. The woman stared out the window. She almost lost her baby if she didn't get treatment right away.

Bad luck has been following him lately. The woman has no shoulders to lean on now. If the baby can't be saved, she may never be able to live.

"Dy, everything's fine. You calm down." Hasna tried to comfort Maudy.

"Thank you, Na. Thankfully there was you. If not ...."

"Ssttt .. no, what matters is that now you and your baby are fine." Hasna pulled out a chair and sat on it.

"May I ask you something, Dy?"

Maudy nodded slowly. Hasna took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He was hesitant to ask this, but his curiosity and suspicion were far greater than any doubts that arose.

"I'm the one you took a certain medication a few hours ago?" ask Hasna carefully.

"I'm just taking some vitamins and iron. Why, Na?"

"You almost miscarried because there was misoprostol in your body." Hasna looked seriously at Maudy, hoping that she would be honest.

"What medicine is that?" Maudy knitted her brows.

"Actually, misoprostol is a drug used to treat ulcers or sores on the stomach and intestines of twelve fingers. But, this drug also has the effect of stimulating uterine or uterine contractions."

"I don't even know that kind of medicine. All I know is the stall medicine I used to drink when I wasn't feeling well."

"All right then. Now, you rest first. We go home tomorrow morning, wait for your condition to improve."

Hasna smiled gently then came out of the IGD. He has asked the hospital to transfer Maudy to the VVIP room. The doctor wanted to make sure Maudy's condition was safe.

After Maudy's condition improved, Hasna would ask him many things that stuck to her heart. To be honest, he suspected that Maudy was under pressure from the Cantul Gang. He suspected that the pill was deliberately drunk by Tito's wife because of the insistence of members of the Leopard Gang.
