True Love Waits

Chapter 1297 Their Baby

Without saying a word, Wesley picked Erica up and rushed out of the house.

It was in the evening that Matthew received Blair's call. He was about to go to a dinner party, and the car had already stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing that it was his mother-in-law, he answered, "Hello, Mom. What's up?"

What she said from the other end of the line made him straighten his back all of a sudden. Anxiety danced in his eyes. "How is Rika now?" After a while, he answered, "I got it. I'll be there soon. It doesn't matter. Let her stay in the hospital. Please take good care of her!"

Matthew, who was just about to step out of the car, closed the door and ordered, "Contact a private plane. We're setting off for A Country right now."

Owen could tell from his boss's tone that he was anxious. Guessing the seriousness of this matter, he didn't ask anything more. Instead, he immediately arranged a private plane for the both of them. It was already nine o' clock in the evening when Matthew arrived at the hospital.

In the ward, Wesley, Blair, and Chantel all stood around her bed. Erica was having an infusion. Her eyes were closed and her face was as white as a sheet. His wife, who used to be so lively and energetic, was now lying there lifelessly like a porcelain doll. Sadness brewed in his heart.

Calming himself down, he greeted the others first. "Dad, Mom, Chantel."

Wesley blinked in surprise. "Why are you here so soon? Didn't Blair tell you to come here tomorrow?" However, the older man was relieved that he arrived so soon. It showed that Erica was his top priority. "It doesn't matter," Matthew dismissed it. Besides, after knowing that his wife was here, how could he just stand by and do nothing?

He walked straight to her bedside and held her hand. The moment her cold fingertips brushed against his warm skin, his heart ached. A part of him wished that he was here earlier to guard her.

Blair quickly explained the situation. "We didn't know that she is pregnant. Before she felt unwell, she had been drinking iced juice and running up and down the stairs. Rika..."

She trailed off with a sigh. "Rika almost suffered from a miscarriage. But fortunately she was taken here in time, so she was saved."

Erica was pregnant! In fact, even the doctor was shocked to inform them of Erica's situation. The baby was still so small that it took the doctor a few minutes to figure out the diagnosis.

Blair had been so careless.
