I used up my last bit of strength to hold Herman’s hand and said with a weak breath, “Change doctors. Doctor Blanton is not okay, any other doctor is fine, but it can’t be Chloe.”
Herman clenched his fist, broke away from my hand and raised his hand to sign the consent form for the operation. “Vera, I know you have always had opinions about Chloe, but what Chloe said just now makes sense. She is the only one who is suitable to perform surgery on you. I, Herman, will not allow my wife to be seen naked by other men. If you delay it any further, not only will you and the child be in danger, but Chloe’s surgery will also become more difficult. I won’t let you find ways to delay it. If you still don’t agree to Chloe’s surgery, then you can’t use the anesthetic in the operating room.”
My throat was sore and I was speechless for a moment.
Herman knew that I was the most afraid of pain, but he actually threatened me with not giving me anesthesia in order to pave the way for Chloe.
My heart was numb and I felt that the person in front of me was so cold that I felt unfamiliar.
While Chloe was in a daze, Herman quickly dismissed all irrelevant personnel and gave her a loving hug. “Come on, do it boldly. I will always be behind you to support you!”
The two of them embraced each other affectionately and I fainted due to the pain.
Before I fainted, I heard Chloe’s charming voice. “Herman, can I make a request? I don’t need an assistant for this operation. I want to do it alone! Because…”
Herman stretched out his index finger to seal Chloe’s mouth. “Chloe, you don’t have to explain to me. You must have your reasons for your choice. I will do it unconditionally.”
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the heart-wrenching pain.
What caught my eye was the snow-white ceiling of the operating room and when I looked down, it was a shocking red.
I was tied to the operating table and a huge slit was cut open on my stomach, just like that and I could faintly see the placenta struggling in the pool of blood, trying to break away from my body.
Just the movement of the baby involved my wound and I curled up violently and my vision was briefly dark because of the severe pain.
Only then did I realize that Chloe had cut open my stomach, but did not give me anesthesia!
“Chloe, what are you up to! Why didn’t you give me anesthesia? It hurts! Anesthesia…”
