Chapter 1072

“Esmeralda, actually it’s not a big deal. My father, he also doesn’t like me. When Winston and I were both in danger, he even wished that I was the one who had an accident.

I have never had high expectations for family affection. I feel very happy now that I have you and the children, as if I have the whole world. So Esmeralda, when you are feeling sad, don’t keep thinking about those sad things. Think of me, think of our children, we all love you very much.”

Reynaldo’s gentle voice entered my ears, warming my heart little by little.

I leaned into his arms and said hoarsely, “When did you learn to comfort people so well?”

Reynaldo smiled and tightened the hand around my waist, saying, “Comforting my wife, of course, is something I must learn to do.”

I smiled, and the sadness in my heart gradually dissipated under the gentle coaxing of the man. No matter what, things are ultimately much better now than they were four years ago. Four years ago, I had nothing but Vonnie, but now, I have Reynaldo and two lovely children.

Lying in Reynaldo’s arms was very comforting, my emotions relaxed and the exhaustion all over my body also hit me. I fell asleep unknowingly.

Waking up again, I was awakened by a severe abdominal pain.

“Reynaldo…”

I murmured his name in pain, reaching out to the side, only to touch emptiness. At this moment, it was dusk, and the room was dimly lit. I sat up, clutching my aching stomach, and looked to the side. There was no longer the figure of that man beside me, and the place where he had slept was all cold. It seemed that he had been up for a while.

I moved to the bedside and was about to pick up the phone on the nightstand to call Reynaldo when I noticed there was a note left on the nightstand.

"I have some things to take care of. I will try to come back early in the evening and then take you out for dinner."

Reynaldo had gone out for something. I opened my phone and dialed his number. However, the phone rang twice with no one answering. The pain in my abdomen came in waves, different from the pain of menstruation, and not like the pain of food poisoning.

I furrowed my brow, suddenly remembering something. My period seems to have not come for a long time. I don’t know if I’m pregnant, but I just tested with a test strip not long ago and it was negative. Could it be that there was some other problem with my body? How could my stomach suddenly hurt?

Without much thought, I quickly put on a loose piece of clothing and drove to the hospital. In the evening, the road was a bit congested. When I arrived at the hospital, the abdominal pain had become stronger. I was in so much pain that I broke out in a cold sweat all over my body.

When I got out of the car, my vision went black for a moment. I supported the body of the car, took a deep breath, and then walked unsteadily into the outpatient department. However, just as I reached the entrance, my vision suddenly went black, and I instantly collapsed to the ground.

At the moment when I lost consciousness, it seemed like I heard someone calling my name. Another endless expanse of darkness. I didn’t know how long I had been unconscious. I heard the sound of instruments “beeping” and the voices of doctors in a daze.
