Chapter 687 - The Loss
< The Geneva University Hospital >
Luis and Doctor Caitlyn waited anxiously in front of the operating room. They had been there silently for over thirty minutes. When Anne fell Christian immediately cried, the sound of crying was even louder. The smart boy seemed to be asking people for help through his crying voice.
Luckily, one of the maids had woken up heard Christian's cry from the second floor. Because the house was quiet, Christian's cries really echoed, especially with the door wide open. As soon as she saw the lady was already on the floor with blood running between her legs, the maid shouted very loudly asking everyone for help to come.
When Luis saw Anne's condition, without thinking he immediately took her to the car followed by Doctor Caitlyn who was very worried about Anne's condition, the maids in the house seemed to hug each other when they saw the condition of the madam who was unconscious with blood dripping from her femininity.
Luis and Doctor Caitlyn's tension ended when they saw the operating room door opened.
"How is it, Doc?" Luis immediately screamed loudly at the doctor who appeared from behind the door.
"Sorry, we couldn't save Mrs. Clarke's baby. The baby was already lifeless when we took it out of its mother's womb, it looks like Madam's stomach had suffered a very hard impact when she fell," replied the doctor hoarsely from behind his medical mask.
An invisible hammer was felt hitting Luis' chest at this moment. His lips were trembling violently as tears immediately flowed down. While Doctor Caitlyn, who seemed to have guessed what was going to happen, seemed calmer. In a trembling voice, she asked about Anne's condition.
"Madam has a broken arm, it seems she is trying to hold her weight with her hands when she is about to fall, Doc. Currently, another doctor is trying to operate on her hand and..."
"And what?"
"The baby's body, do you guys want to take care of it or do we take care of it?"
The tears that Caitlyn had been holding back were pouring out of her eyes.
"Please, Doc ... you can definitely save the baby," Doctor Caitlyn pleaded.
The female obstetrician who had just performed a cesarean operation on Anne slowly removed the mask covering her face and immediately grabbed Doctor Caitlyn's shoulder.
"I'm only human, Doc. I'm sorry."
Doctor Caitlyn burst into tears, her voice booming around the operating room. Luis slowly wiped his tears and looked at the female doctor who was hugging Doctor Caitlyn.
"Where's the baby, Doc?"
"Come with me."
Doctor Caitlyn who was still crying immediately grabbed Luis' hand tightly. "I'm coming with you, Luis."
Luis turned to Doctor Caitlyn with his eyes still wet. "Are you strong enough, Doc?"
"I am."
"Okay."
After taking a deep breath, Luis and Doctor Caitlyn entered the operating room to see the little princess whose presence Jack and Anne had been waiting for. The beautiful baby looked very small, her tiny body felt weak and still a little warm. No one would have thought that the beautiful baby was dead. Her tightly closed eyes made it look like she was sleeping. Princess was very beautiful, as one would expect. The baby inherited Anne's beautiful face, her nose, lips, and even the shape of her chin all resembled Anne's. She was very beautiful and adorable.
Seeing the master's baby who was dead, Luis and Doctor Caitlyn's tears were flowing again. Even though both of them had braced themselves not to cry anymore, but when they saw the princess who was wrapped in a cloth on the baby's cot, they both couldn't hold back their tears any longer.
Luis even hit the wall when the princess was carried by Doctor Caitlyn. He really couldn't hold back the tightness that filled his chest at this time. Luis quickly exited the room and burst into tears in front of the door while kneeling, the Warrior member who had been standing quietly for a while slowly lowered his head.
"Hey princess, wake up honey. Don't you want to see all of us, kid?"
"Your arrival is very much awaited by your father and mother dear, open your eyes princess."
Doctor Caitlyn's voice was no longer heard and was replaced by the sound of crying. The lifeless beautiful baby was then placed back on the bed by the doctor who had previously removed it from Anne's stomach.
The doctor's decision to perform a cesarean operation on Anne was taken because the bleeding experienced by Anne could not be stopped and the only way to save her was to perform a cesarean section. The doctors had also confirmed that the baby in Anne's stomach must not have survived. Seeing the amount of blood that came out of his mother's womb and the bruises on the mother's stomach made the doctors convinced to do this.
And the guesses of the doctors were right, once the beautiful baby was successfully removed from the mother's stomach, her heartbeat was not detected at all. It was thought the baby had died shortly after the mother fell.
With weak steps, Caitlyn came out of the operating room after seeing the doctors who were operating on Anne's broken arm.
"How is this Luis? Have you notified Mr.?" asked Doctor Caitlyn quietly.
Luis lifted his face and looked at Doctor Caitlyn. He slowly handed his cell phone to Caitlyn's doctor. Doctor Caitlyn, who didn't know, immediately opened Luis' cell phone and read the message Nicholas had sent to Luis.
"M-master..."
"Yes, Master is currently unconscious due to surgery."
Doctor Caitlyn immediately fell into the chair without being able to say a word. She still couldn't believe something like this had happened. Luis' cell phone in his hand fell to the floor.
"We have to take care of the princess's funeral as soon as possible, doc," said Luis quietly.
Doctor Caitlyn lifted her head and looked at Luis. "Shouldn't we wait for Master or Anne?"
Louis shook his head. "There's no need. After all, we won't know when Master will wake up. The operation he underwent was a major operation, while Madame, you know his current condition, right? And we can't let the princess stay like that for too long, anyhow she must be buried quickly."
"But..."
"But what?"
Doctor Caitlyn wiped her tears slowly. "But Master and Anne haven't seen the baby yet, if we bury the princess without them knowing, we'll be crossing the line. After all, they deserve to see their daughter, Luis."
"I know what you mean, Doc, it's just that this situation is not possible. Considering the condition of the two of them who are both unconscious. Don't worry, I have thought of a way out of this problem."
"The way out? What's the way out?"
Louis took a deep breath. "We will record every procession of the princess's funeral for documentation, so that later when Master and Madam are conscious, they can see it."
Doctor Caitlyn's tears were flowing again. She couldn't imagine how Anne and Jack would feel when they saw their daughter on video.
