Chapter 6 Just as Aria was about to collapse , à strong hand caught her in time . " What are you two doing over here for so long ? Are you alright ? " Mason's gentle voice rang out beside her ear . Through tear - blurred eyes , Aria saw him and was about to question him . How could Phantom end up like this ? But before she could speak , Crystal whimpered , barely audible : " Brother ... it hurts ... " Mason jolted . He immediately released Aria and turned to the figure lying crumpled on the ground . " Crystal ! " His eyes turned red the moment he saw her bruised and battered . He scooped her up in his arms . " What happened ? How did this happen ? Just now . What on earth happened ? " Tears streamed down Crystal's face like broken pearls . " Brother , just now ... just now Aria lost to me in riding and accused me of cheating . Then she ordered that damn beast to trample me ! " As she spoke , her voice rose in righteous indignation , articulate and full of fury. But the next second , her energy seemed to drain away. " Brother , it hurts so much ... What if ... what if I can never walk again ? " Mason's heart shattered at her words . Right in front of Aria , he held Crystal tightly in his arms . His expression shifted , tight and unreadable . Whatever gentleness had remained in his gaze moments ago was now completely gone . His voice was colder than ever : " Aria , is this true ? " Aria opened her mouth to speak , but a crushing pain suddenly surged through her chest . At the same time , a sharp stab shot through her lower abdomen . She clutched her chest and sank to the ground , unable to speak through the pain . ཁ ཋ་ ཛ ཇ ཇ་ བའྀ་ ཆ་ ཟ་ རྗ ་ Mason didn't even notice . His face grew darker . " I'm taking Crystal to the hospital right now . If it's really like she says , Aria - you've completely disappointed me ! " A salty taste filled Aria's throat . She covered her mouth , struggling to suppress it . She looked up at the man before her so cold , so indifferent and felt an uncontrollable urge to cry . But she forced herself to hold it back . " Brother ... I ... " Crystal murmured sweetly - then suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted in his arms . " Crystal ! Crystal ! " Mason shouted , his voice full of panic . He staggered to his feet with her in his arms and ran toward the exit of the training ground as fast as he could . BANG ! 15:23 5 Years of Your Bullshit ? My New Man's Got a Rule : Exes Stay Buried 2.5 % Chapter 6 Behind him , something fell with a heavy crash . But Mason didn't even glance back . His entire world was focused on Crystal . He suspected that sound might've been Aria collapsing ... yet he hesitated only for a moment and still didn't turn around . Because right now , nothing was more important than saving his sister . When Aria opened her eyes again , she was in a hospital . More precisely , she was on an operating table . A large surgical light glared overhead , so bright she could barely open her eyes . Her legs were spread apart , and she could hear the sounds of medical instruments clinking around her . She wanted to speak , but her whole body was limp , and she had no strength at all . The voices of the doctor and nurse sounded distant and foggy , like they were drifting in from far away : " What a pity ... The fetus was already around two months old . Why wouldn't she take better care of herself ? " " Exactly . Heard she fell off a horse . By the time she got here , the fetus was already lost . Must've been quite a fall . " t " The internal medicine doctor also said there was some internal bleeding . Luckily she was brought in quickly . A little later , and she could've hemorrhaged to death . " " Yeah . Not sure if the guy who brought her in was her husband . Tall , handsome , but cold as ice . Said almost nothing . Just paid the bills and left . " " Alright , enough chatting . Let's get the uterine evacuation done , then transfer her back to recovery . " Pregnant , miscarriage , hemorrhaging , evacuation ... Every word sent chills down Aria's spine . Realizing what had happened , she tried to sit up , but it was useless . Her body felt locked in place , utterly powerless . She couldn't even summon the energy to fully open her eyes . Something sharp twisted inside her , but likely due to anesthesia , she felt no pain . Still , the mention of a lost pregnancy struck her like a tidal wave , drowning her in grief . She couldn't breathe . And once again , everything went black . " Aria ... Aria ... " 4 She didn't know how much time had passed . Faintly , she heard someone calling her name . She felt a hand gently shaking her arm . When she finally opened her eyes again , she was in a hospital room .
