Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 53: Miscarriage

Dolores frowned. Why did he grab onto her while he answered Helen’s call? Did he want her to witness their intimate conversation? She became strangely melancholy. She struggled strongly but the more she struggled, the tighter Matthew held onto her and said softly, “Don’t move.”Dolores was squirming again and Matthew pressed his lips onto her ear and said with a warning tone, “Behave yourself while I answer a call, okay?”Dolores calmed down and didn’t dare to move. Matthew smiled and was satisfied with Dolores’ obedience. His thumb carefully rubbed over her clothes and pinched her waist. The call was answered and a man said anxiously over the phone, “Mr. Nelson, Ms. White was in an accident and is now at the hospital for emergency treatment.”What? Helen had an accident? Because she was near to him, Dolores also heard what the man said. She turned to look at Matthew and he was also looking at her in surprise, “When did this happen?””An hour ago.”???.???e??Home.?o?Matthew released Dolores and stood up and took his jacket. He walked a few steps and remembered that Dolores was there. He turned towards her and said, “I need to go over.”Dolores was looking at him, “Go ahead.”That was his girlfriend and someone he liked. She was in danger and he should go to her. He pursed his lips and appeared to want to say something but yet he didn’t say anything. He put on his jacket and continued the call as he walked out.”Order an air ticket to A Country, the very next flight.”w??.?o??(s)?o(m). c(o)?Dolores looked at his back view disappearing out the door and scoffed bitterly. This was their original arrangement, she was herself, and ‘they’ were ‘them’. She was the odd one out. They were clearly a loving couple and she came between them.”Why did Young Master Nelson leave in such a hurry?” Coral asked as she walked in. It was rare for him to come back early and why didn’t he spend some time to cultivate their relationship? Was he always so busy? Coral couldn’t understand at all and was very upset. Didn’t he have enough money? Wasn’t he concerned about the importance of his marriage? Dolores pursed her lips and smiled, “Ms. White had an accident and he’s going over to take a look.”Coral’s expression darkened. They just had a few days of peace. What stunt did that woman pull?”She should look for the doctor since she had an accident. Young Master Nelson isn’t a doctor. Can he treat her?” Coral did not hide her unhappiness with what had happened. Dolores walked over to remove a leaf on Coral’s shoulder and calmly looked at the workers trimming w??.??????h??(e).???the hedges nearby, “Coral, haven’t you noticed that I’m the odd one out? They are truly in love.”What? Young Master Nelson was in love with his mistress? Coral was slightly upset with Dolores for not fighting for what was hers. Why did Dolores say that her husband was in love with another woman? Was something wrong with Dolores?”You are the one selected by Mrs. Nelson to be Young Master’s wife. You are the one selected by his parents. Who is Helen?” Coral glared sternly at Dolores, “You allowed him to go when he wanted to? Why can’t you stand up for yourself?”Dolores laughed bitterly inside her but she reached out to the adorable old lady. Dolores knew that she said these for her and wanted things to be well for her and Matthew. But Dolores wasn’t sure what was going on between Matthew and her.”Coral, you are so nice to me. What if I can’t bear to leave?”Coral was startled and looked at Dolores, “Where are you going?”As per tradition, when a woman was married to a man, she became part of the family regardless of what happened. Since she was married to Matthew, then she belonged to the Nelson family. Where did she intend to go? In Coral’s eyes, Mrs. Nelson had chosen this daughter-in-law and she was Matthew’s legal wife. She will not accept any of Matthew’s other women. In about ten days, she would be married to Matthew for a month. She would then leave when that time comes. Dolores held onto Coral, “I want to go outside for a walk.”

“Okay, I’ll accompany you.” Coral was very familiar with the surroundings and they could have a good chat during the walk. Dolores went back to her room immediately after dinner. She tossed and turned on her bed and only fell asleep after she became very tired. A Country. A colleague, Bryan Eastwood, who came with Helen to A Country was waiting for Matthew at the exit of the Airport. He rushed over to Matthew as soon as he saw him.”Mr. Nelson.””How is she now?” Matthew asked as they walked.”Her condition has stabilized and is out of danger. She is now at the patient room but…” Bryan paused as he said and didn’t know how to continue. Matthew said coldly, “Out with it.”Bryan looked at Matthew and then lowered his eyes, “Ms. White had a miscarriage…”Matthew stopped walking and his eyes narrowed, “What did you say?”His large presence was overbearing, causing a person’s breathing to feel stifled. Bryan swallowed his saliva, “Ms. … Ms. White had a miscarriage due to the accident. The doctor said that she was almost three months pregnant. It was as if Matthew was struck by lightning. He clenched his fists in fury but he didn’t know why he was furious. He walked very quickly and Bryan had to break into a trod just to keep up. When they were in the car, Bryan quietly drove. He didn’t even dare to breathe audibly for fear of angering the man seated behind. They reached the hospital very quickly. Bryan stopped the car and ran around the car to open the door but it was opened by Matthew. He quickly moved aside. As Matthew got out of the car, he looked at his wristwatch for the time. It was daytime over there while it was at night back home. He lowered his hand and looked at Bryan and said, “Lead the way.”Bryan led Matthew to Helen’s room, “Ms. White is inside.”Matthew paused outside the door for a couple of seconds and then pushed the door to enter. The room had the faint smell of disinfectant and Helen looked weak as she laid on the bed. When she ??(w).?o??(l)?H???.??msaw Matthew, she tried to sit up, “Matthew, why… why are you here?”Matthew walked over quickly to prop her up, “Don’t move since you’re injured.”Helen leaned into his embrace, “How do you know that I’m hurt?”Bryan was scratching his head at the door and Helen understood and pointed to Bryan, “You told Matthew?””When the doctor said that your life was in danger, I took the initiative to inform Mr. Nelson…””Mind your own business!” Helen threw the pillow at him in anger.”Bryan, leave us.” Matthew hugged the agitated Helen and stroked her back, “Why did you keep it from me?” Matthew was very conflicted. Helen lowered her head and tears started to flow, “How could I say? I was already two months pregnant when I found out and you were already married to Ms. Flores at that time. I thought about giving you a surprise after you terminate your relationship with Ms. Flores but then…”Helen wailed bitterly as she said and hugged tightly to Matthew, “Matthew, we lost our child.”She cried bitterly, “Matthew, I’m so sorry that I didn’t protect our child…”Matthew frowned and was terribly conflicted. He felt emotional that he had a child. Every man yearned to be a father. This woman had his child and yet he sent her here. If he didn’t send her here, she wouldn’t have that accident and his child wouldn’t be lost. He closed his eyes and said, “This is not your fault.”It was his mistake. He had also lost his mind to want to seek a closer relationship with Dolores…This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
