Chapter 6

Dashiell anxiously waited outside the operating room. It wasn't long before he saw a nurse hurriedly wheeling me into surgery.

"What's going on? I only asked you to draw blood. Why are you taking her in for surgery?!" Dashiell shouted.

Doctor Carlisle, while pushing me into the operating room, quickly replied, "Mrs. Aria is showing signs of miscarriage, and today's repeated blood draws have taken a toll on her body. We need to perform surgery immediately."

"Miscarriage? Was she really pregnant?"

Dashiell's eyes were bloodshot as he watched in disbelief as I was wheeled into surgery.

He fell to his knees in the hallway, praying against the wall.

Late into the night, someone was finally wheeled out of the operating room. Dashiell breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he grasped Melody's hand.

Doctor Carlisle then pushed out another hospital bed, but this one was covered with a white sheet.
