Chapter 51 An Emergency
+15 BONUS
When I awoke, I found myself lying in an emergency room. Everything seemed normal, and the excruciating pain vanished, leaving me numb.
Atlas was beside me, looking concerned. It appeared he had brought me to the emergency room. My
sudden condition must’ve startled him, and I felt apologetic
“Did I scare you? I’m sorry,” I chuckled awkwardly, “You always seem to catch me at my worst. Thank you!
for saving me again.”
“Do you feel better now?” Atlas scrutinized my expression with a hint of worry in his eyes.
“I have gallstones, an old problem,” I replied.
He called the doctor, and I underwent another examination. The doctor gave me a detailed report of my
condition and provided some instructions before informing Atlass that I could leave after finishing the IV
drip.
When the doctor left, I reassured Atlas, “Don’t worry, it’s how this condition is. The pain is terrifying, but I
feel nothing afterward.”
He nodded and asked, “Should I inform your family?”
I shook my head and thought the only family I had around was too young. Besides Ava, I had no family nearby. It seemed no one genuinely cared about me anymore, so why bother pretending?
I didn’t even know when or how I had ended up in this situation. I wondered what I did wrong to deserve
such betrayal from Matthew. The most heartbreaking thing was having someone you trusted most
deceive you.
Atlas noticed my silence and added, “If you need anything, let me know.”
After the IV drip, he insisted on driving me home, so I reluctantly let him take me to Ava’s preschool. He didn’t ask much during the drive, and when we arrived, I kindly asked him to leave first.
He only drove away after confirming I was okay.
