Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 816

Selena woke up that morning and instantly felt something viscous that seemed to have pooled beneath the lower half of her body. Lifting the covers, she was greeted by traces of blood on the sheets.

As he was shocked by that sight, Pierre demanded, “What happened? Why are you bleeding?”

Her calm and collected demeanor was a stark contrast to his flustered one as she said, “We need to get to the hospital.”

He immediately carried her in his arms. This was the first time they had any physical contact since his return and he found that she was still as light as a feather despite her growing bump. In fact, she might even be lighter than she had been before he left and he felt his heart twist at this realization.

Jason arrived at the hospital soon after Selena had been admitted.

She was being wheeled into the emergency room and Pierre stood helplessly outside the doors. Jason came over and patted him on the shoulder before he said grimly, “This is the fourth time it’s happened.”

Pierre turned to look at the other man quizzically.

“Ever since she nearly miscarried the baby, she’s been experiencing occasional bleeding. This is the fourth time she’s been admitted to the hospital to stabilize the pregnancy; the doctor said they would do their best to prevent a miscarriage, but they can only leave the rest up to fate.”

Jason sat down on the bench outside the emergency room with a grave look on his face. He recalled how Jude’s death had happened immediately after the doctor’s prior attempt to stabilize Selena’s pregnancy. Selena was so devastated that she bled once more, which caused her to spend another week in the hospital and was put on bedrest while taking in fluids and injections necessary to keep the baby.

Now that he counted, it was the fourth time that she was forced to undergo the same treatment. At the thought of that, Jason recounted plaintively, “She has had 28 injections and 69 blood transfusions during the course of this pregnancy, not to mention all the medication she’s been prescribed. Juniper has even tried acupuncture on her and it has admittedly shown results. The gap between her bleeding this time and the last is significantly wider.”

Pierre felt his throat tighten when he heard what Jason had said.

He knew how terrified Selena was of needles and she was never able to keep from squirming whenever she saw Juniper perform an acupuncture. Who knows what she’s been through just to keep the baby? He could only imagine the fear that seized her when she lay alone on the hospital bed.

Pierre was beginning to understand why Selena was so calm when she decided to come to the hospital. It was because she was already used to making such trips.
