Chapter 57

“Thank goodness she was sent to the hospital in time….

“The patient’s emotions are all over the place. We can’t risk upsetting her further, and we’re recommending at least a week’s stay, especially considering the excessive bleeding…”

“Get out! Get out of here!”

The doctor’s words were cut short as Stephanie suddenly sat up, her face drained of colar, her lips trembling as she shouted towards the

door.

The medical staff turned while Kevin hurried to the door and said in a low voice, “I told you not to come in and upset her!”

Dominick stood at the ward’s entrance, his usually stoic expression now betraying a mix of emotions.

“Dominick, Stephanie might be feeling really unwell. Let’s come back later. Vincent, who was standing behind Dominick, tried to reason.

He dreaded Dominick’s explosive temper. After all, no one would dare shout at him like that, telling him to leave.

The ward’s door was swiftly slammed shut, leaving Dominick outside.

And he didn’t stop it.

Dominick couldn’t hear what was being said inside, but he remained rooted to the spot, staring at the closed door.

Vincent shivered slightly. If Dominick decided to barge in, he could easily kick down that ordinary door.

“Let’s not bring this up when she’s around anymore,” After a long pause, Dominick spoke in a low voice before turning away to head towards

the elevator.

Vincent watched him leave, feeling somewhat dazed. He was unable to fully comprehend what had just happened.

‘Was Dominick going to just leave like that?

‘Since when did Dominick, with his stern demeanor, learn to be so forgiving?

Stephanie spent two days and a night in the hospital, mostly in a daze. She hardly spoke or ate, relying on IV nutrition, with Kevin by her side the entire time.

“Stephanie, do you need some water?”

Around 9 p.m., Kevin saw her open her eyes and immediately approached the bedside.

Stephanie gazed at him for a moment before speaking in a hoarse but much calmer voice now. “No thanks.”

“The doctor mentioned they found traces of medication in your bloodstream. These drugs can affect your nerves and cause emotional instability. If pregnant women take them, it can lead to…”

“You can head back now,” she interrupted suddenly.

Kevin’s expression flickered with complexity. “You might think I have some ulterior motive for doing all this, but I don’t! Stephanie, you called me last night, and I had a gut feeling something was wrong, so I came to check on you, I truly didn’t have any other intentions…”

Perhaps it was guilt for his past actions that made Kevin feel uneasy under her gaze.
