Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 18

Once we arrived at the hospital, Lyle ran into the hospital with
me in his arms and shouted, “Help! Quick! My wife has lost a lot
of blood…”
A group of doctors and nurses came rushing out and swiftly
helped me onto an empty surgical bed before pushing me into an
operating room.
I was actually afraid to go under anesthesia. Once we were in the
operating room, I grasped the doctor’s hand and said, “Doctor,
I’m pregnant. I think I’m having a miscarriage.”
I couldn’t see the doctor’s expression as he was wearing a
surgical mask, but I was sure that he glanced at my lower body
for a moment. Nodding, he said to a nurse, “Let’s get her into the
delivery room. Send an obstetrician in there too.”
After that, they pushed my surgical bed out of the operating
room. Immediately, I heaved a sigh of relief.
I felt dizzy from fatigue and blood loss, and because of that, I fell
asleep unknowingly.
When I woke up, I was in a single-bedded ward, and my bed was
surrounded by pink curtains. It was very quiet, and I could hear
Lyle talking to someone.
“Good thing you guys came in the nick of time, so we managed to
save the fetus. Since this is her first pregnancy and it’s still in the
early stage, there is an increased risk of miscarriage. Hence,
extra care is needed for her to have a safe pregnancy.”

Then came Lyle’s voice. “Thank you, doctor. We’ll be extra careful
from now on.”
As I lay on the hospital bed, I stared at the ceiling that was
decorated like a starry sky. Now that he was aware of the
pregnancy, I wonder what he thought of it.
Soon, the doctor opened the door and left the ward. Lyle pulled
open the curtain to peep at me, and when he saw that I was
awake, he instantly smiled and asked cautiously, “You’re up,
dear. Do you want some water? Are you hungry?”
I opened my mouth to speak but didn’t know what to say.
He brought my hand to his lips and asked in an almost inaudible
voice, “Dear, can I ask you something?”
Sensing from his expression that something was amiss, my heart
began to race. I had a gut feeling that Lyle was going to ask
about the baby.
Sure enough, he lifted his head and looked me straight in the eye
with a somber look.
I felt terribly guilty and held my breath before stammering, “G-Go
ahead.”
His eyes were still fixated on me, and the atmosphere was rather
tense.
Instead of throwing questions at me immediately, he pulled the
blanket halfway up to my chest. I was frightened by this action as
I was expecting him to burst into anger.
After tucking me in, he shifted his gaze back to me and asked
calmly, “Did you sleep with Christopher?”
I was speechless.
He looked me in the eye, and there wasn’t a hint of anger in his
gaze. His calmness chilled my blood.
I answered, “No, I did not.”
It was the first time I knew that I was good at lying. I was aware
that I should not admit my relationship with Christopher before
using my trump card.
Lyle knew that I was not someone who would lie, but he didn’t
seem to believe me at that moment. He asked again, “I’ll ask you
another question. Who’s the father of this baby?”
Upon hearing that, I could feel breathing quicken, and my heart
was pounding like a drum.
“I asked you a question.” Suddenly, he raised his voice at me,
causing me to stiffen with fright.
Instead of answering the question, I said, “I’m your wife.”
