"I'll take you to the hospital right now, neither you nor our sweetheart will be in danger!"
I struggled to speak, "Gunner, don't touch me. I feel filthy."
In an instant, the light in Gunner's eyes dimmed, and he looked as if he might shatter.
He fumbled to explain.
"Jolene, you saw everything, didn't you?"
"I didn't mean to, I was just out of my mind for a moment. I didn't want you to bear such a heavy burden."
"I only wanted Snowdrop to have the baby, I'm not in love with her. You're the only one I love!"
"Jolene, don't fall asleep, don't leave me..."
Outside the emergency room.
Gunner, disregarding his status, knelt on the ground.
He remained on his knees outside for as long as the surgery inside took.
Passersby cast strange looks at him, but he paid no attention.
"I'd give my life, my everything, for the safety of my wife and child."
Gunner recalled many past events.
He was actually a very selfish and despicable person.
