Frown

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen
As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

"Get out of the way! Move! Everyone, get out of the way!"

The doors of the ambulance were kicked open from the inside and the paramedics rushed out two stretchers. They were followed by Wesley Helian, who seemed both worried and furious.

"Don't worry, Jessica. You are going to be fine."

His face seemed tense and his breath was cold. "You must save her. If she dies, I am going to make sure your hospital is closed down,"

Wesley Helian roared.

The nurses and doctors who were rushing the stretcher in quickened their pace, afraid that they would become the punching bag of the big shot Wesley Helian.

So... Still choose Jessica Ruo?

Christine Ji, who was lying on one of the stretchers struggled to open her eyes. Hearing the furious roar of Wesley Helian, she felt like she was falling into utter despair.

Jessica Ruo herself seemed fine. She had merely passed out because of fear.

But she...

Christine Ji tried to move her fingers and cried out in pain.

"Christine, you vicious woman! How dare you drive and want to die with Jessica? Why don't you just go to hell and be done with it?"

Wesley Helian kicked the nurse's leg in anger. The poor girl flinched and stumbled and the stretcher swayed a bit from its course. The disturbance pulled on Christine Ji's wound painfully and her blood stained the stretcher.

Before she could clearly hear the curses that Wesley Helian was throwing here and there, the two stretchers were separated and pushed into different emergency rooms.

"I need a blood transfusion here!"

"Where is the doctor? She is dying,"

inside the operating room, one of the nurses pulled in the stretcher and shouted. She looked delicate and seemed just over twenty years old. She had never seen or come across such an accident. Standing and shouting at the door of the ward, her voice seemed to tremble.

Christine Ji opened her eyes and clearly felt like her life was fading away. Her beautiful eyes were full of unwillingness.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. The doctors are taking care of another operation. I'm so sorry."

As the nurse thrust the blood transfusion bag into her arm, she kept murmuring apologies. She was also crying simultaneously. From the way Wesley Helian looked, it was clear that no doctor was daring to take charge of the operation.

'Wesley Helian, we have been married for two years now. I thought you would believe me someday, but as it turns out, nothing can defeat your ruthlessness.'

Christine Ji's heart ached to the core.

She moved her hand slowly and touched her flat belly. There used to be a baby belonging to the two of them. Now, that seemed so impossible!

"Is this all because of Wesley Helian?"

It took her all her strength just to say that. Even after saying this little thing, she gasped and blood came out of her mouth.

Perhaps it was all for the best. Perhaps only when she really was dead could the tragedy between them finally come to an end.

"Yes. I am so sorry. The man said that if Jessica died, our hospital would be buried along with her. Which is why all the qualified doctors have rushed there..."

The nurse told her word by word. Even though she was speaking delicately, she seemed to be torturing Christine Ji.

"Go ask for the doctors again."

She couldn't die like this. No, she was yet to find her child and avenge herself.

Christine Ji's eyes were bloodshot from anger and the blue veins on her hands were raised.

Even amidst all that anger, a silent drop of tear fell down along the corner of her eye, wetting the pillow. The air around was full of an indescribable desolation.

The pain had engulfed all her senses. She kept thinking about their first meeting...

It had all begun two years ago, in the Capital Hotel——

It was six o'clock on a winter morning, and it had begun to drizzle even before dawn.

Inside one of the hotel rooms, there was a French style bed, and the room was filled with a touch of incense. The night lamp was lighting up the room carefully.

"Ugh... It's so hot in here..."

Christine was unconscious.

Her hands fumbled around on the bed, and she felt a touch of something hot on her side.

'Where am I now?'

She opened her eyes. Her head ached and a chill had swept over her, even though it was incredibly hot in there. She moved slightly and felt like she had been run over by a car.

Even though she was an inexperienced woman, she could still guess what was wrong with her.

Without enough time to think it over, she picked up the bed sheet, wrapped herself in it, got out of bed and stumbled towards the bathroom.

"Go and check it out!"
