Under Ludwig's skill, my surgery was successful and the baby was not in any danger. But just as they were finishing up, Whitney, who was assisting with the suturing, made a fatal mistake while operating the machinery, cutting open my abdomen. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the entire hospital bed red.
"Oh no!" Ludwig's face changed drastically and he immediately began resuscitation efforts.
But it was too late; the baby was gone. I was also half-dead, collapsing unconscious on the operating table.
When I regained my consciousness, Ludwig was beside me, his eyes dark and swollen, clearly having not slept all night.
I forced a smile, "The baby's gone?"
Ludwig's eyes flashed with guilt as he gripped my hand tightly, "I'm sorry, Suzy, I couldn't save him. But don't be too sad, we can have another child. The most important thing is that you're fine now."
Whitney nodded in agreement, "Yes, Suzy, at least we saved your life. Don't do anything rash."
I sneered, "What right do you have to say such things? Didn't you who killed my child? I saw what you did in the car. I will personally report this to the dean and make sure you receive the punishment you deserve."
Upon hearing this, both Ludwig and Whitney's expressions changed.
Whitney knelt down in front of me with a thud, choking back tears and said, "I'm sorry, Suzy, I know I was wrong. Please don't report me, or I'll be fired. I worked so hard to get into this profession; being a doctor is my only dream. If that dream is shattered, I have no reason to live."
Ludwig's face was full of heartache as he frowned and said to me, "I already said it was an accident. We didn't hit you on purpose. Did you have to push her to the brink? It's not like you'll never be able to have children again. Are you going to ruin someone's hard-earned life for someone you've never even met?"
When he said these words, did he remember that it was a child he had gone to great lengths to save? I couldn't be bothered to respond to him and turned my back to them. Anyway, I would be leaving him soon.
Seeing this, Whitney broke down even more and fainted from crying. Ludwig was heartbroken and picked her up and carried her away.
