Chapter 169 - Chapter 169 Save our babies

Ethan jolted from sleep at once when he heard a scream that seemed to be Bella's. He thought it was a nightmare until he looked in the bed and saw that she was not there. He felt his heart stop for a moment before thudding at a fast rate as if it was jumping out any minute. He then heard whimpering sounds in the bathroom and jumped out of the bed then ran to check what the matter was. He was shocked at what he found. Bella was sitting on the floor of the bathroom and she seemed to be bleeding. He panicked and asked," W-what happened Bella?" She couldn't say anything. She was overwhelmed with the pain in her lower abdomen and her back. Groaning in pain, she whispered," Save our babies, please."

He quickly got to her and carried her placing her at the couch. He immediately called the ambulance and his butler. He was stranded. He didn't know what to do. Bella was in pain and she was losing a lot of blood. "Prepare the car right now," he ordered when the butler came and he immediately ran off to do the task after seeing the state Bella was in. Ethan couldn't wait for the ambulance. He didn't want any harm to befall on Bella or their babies.

In half an hour, he reached the hospital but Bella had lost her consciousness on the way yet she was still bleeding. She was immediately rushed to the ICU and Ethan was told to remain outside while he was insisting that he wanted to enter. "Please Mr Carter. Entrust her to us and I promise that she will be fine," the doctor assured him. "Please save her first. I can't lose her," he said desperately and the doctor nodded in understanding. "Don't worry Mr Carter. We are going to try our level best," he assured once again before entering the ICU.

Ethan's first priority was Bella. They could have kids again in the future. He remembered something and immediately got his phone then called his parents who said that they were coming right away. He then called Luna. "Hello, Luna I'm sorry for calling this late but.... something bad has happened to Bella," he said. "What happened?!!" she immediately exclaimed. "She slipped in the bathroom. I just woke up when she's screaming and I found her bleeding. That's when I brought her to the hospital, I really don't know Luna," he said and she could hear his desperation. "In which state was she when you reached the hospital? And how is she right now?" asked Luna worriedly. "She lost consciousness on our way and right now they have taken her to the ICU." Taking a deep breath, Luna said," It's going to be okay Ethan. I'm getting up right now to fly over there. Please be strong."

After speaking on phone, Luna got up and started packing a few things that she would need in Sun City. She couldn't imagine anything bad happening to Bella, she didn't know whether she could take it. She decided to call Graham and inform him since he was currently on a business trip in some other country. On receiving the news, Graham was equally shocked and he promised to pass by Sun City and join her after the trip.

As soon as Ethan finished talking to Luna, the doctor rushed to him with papers and said," We need your signature here. We have to do a cesarean right now." Ethan with shaking hands got the pen and signed the papers handing them to the doctor who ran back to the ICU. Just then, his parents reached and ran to where he was standing. "Ethan! What happened? Where's Bella?" his mother asked with a panicked voice. "She's in the ICU. They are going to perform a cesarean. She was bleeding and unconscious by the time we reached the hospital," he told them. "But how could you let such a heavily pregnant woman go to the bathroom by herself?" his father asked. "Dad, I don't know how she even got there. I always do that for her. I was only woken up by her scream," he said as he ran his hand through his ruffled hair frustratedly. He couldn't lose her no matter what. "You need to be strong Ethan. I know she's going to be fine," his mother assured him and he could only nod. He couldn't believe that she got hurt when he was there. A while later, his parents took a seat and asked him to sit too but he objected. He couldn't relax without knowing the condition she's in.

A long while later as he was still pacing back and forth, he heard the sound of a baby crying and he froze. His baby. But then, it was only one baby who was crying. They were supposed to be two, what of the other one?

He wanted to force his way into the ICU to check how Bella and his babies were doing but he controlled himself.
