The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 397

Carter was filled with worry. Miranda had injured her leg, so Lucian had Cora take her for treatment. Carter had been standing outside the operating room the whole time.

Time ticked by. The door to the operating room finally opened. The doctor came out and said, "Please sign here."

Everyone immediately crowded around.

When Leah saw the 'Critical Condition Notice', she suddenly fainted. Christopher signed the Critical Condition Notice. His body began to tremble. Penelope was his only daughter.

The doctor returned to the operating room. The door to the operating room closed once more. Penelope had been inside for two hours now.

Lucian clenched his fists and said to Cora, "Take Grandpa back home. I'll stay here and wait."

Carter shook his head, "Nobody try to convince me otherwise. I'm staying here today no matter what."

About another hour passed.

Penelope was wheeled out. The doctor said, "We did everything we could, but we couldn't save the baby. Ms. Flanagan lost too much blood, her ribs are broken, her arm is broken, and she has multiple contusions and a moderate concussion. She needs to be admitted to the ICU for observation now."

The baby didn't make it. Carter closed his eyes.

Miranda said softly, "At least she's okay."

They had guessed this outcome when they arrived. Penelope had been nearly 9 months pregnant. With this kind of situation and severe blood loss, it was likely the baby wouldn't survive. But hearing the doctor say it, Carter's heart sank.

Outside the ICU, a weary Christopher told the Lindberg family, "You all should go home. Leah and I will stay here."

After all, Penelope was their daughter. And now that Penelope's baby was gone, they didn't know what the Lindberg family would do.

Miranda said, "Penelope got hurt trying to save me. If it wasn't for me, she and her baby would be fine. How could I possibly leave?"
