Chapter 2 When we arrived at the hospital , he held me and rushed crazily towards the blood drawing room . Bumpy all the way , my already weak body could no longer bear it . Before I even stepped inside , I vomited a mouthful of blood . Edward gently wiped away the bloodstain from the corner of my mouth . He turned around and held me down , using his eyes to signal the doctor to prepare for blood extraction as soon as possible . The cold needle pierced into my body , and I instinctively clenched Edwards sleeve . The intense pain coming from my heart rendered me unable to utter a single sound . When I was in a state of confusion , I heard the doctor say with a hint of concern . Matthews , Mrs. Matthews cannot have too much blood drawn in this situation . If we continue like this , she will die ! Edward looked at me with cold eyes . Enough talking , draw as much blood as Selena needs ! If its not enough , I will have someone bring the child as well , no matter what the cost , I wont allow anything to happen to Selena ! The blood in the body gradually cooled down . In his heart , the lives of me and the children combined were not as important as his Selena . I weakly forced out a bitter smile and let myself sink into a deep sleep . When I opened my eyes again , I had already been taken to a regular ward . Edward stood by the sickbed with red eyes and a worried expression on his face . When he saw me wake up , he couldnt help but shed tears . Melanie , the doctor said you fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss . Fortunately , you are fine . I almost thought you would never wake up again ! He held me in his arms , crying with genuine and heartfelt emotions . I , however , felt disgusted . He clearly disregarded my life and death , so why bother pretending to be affectionate in front of me ? 1/4 I pushed him away without making a sound , and forced a faint smile . Im fine , you dont have to worry about me . Im concerned about leaving Anthony alone at home , so you should go back and take care of him first . Edwards face was tinged with a hint of sorrow . I didnt pay attention , I just took it as him mentioning Anthony with some guilt . But the next second , he suddenly spoke up . Melanie , the childs condition is like this now , the doctor said it would be difficult for him to recover in the future , its hard to say if he can survive and grow up. Should we make plans early and adopt a healthy child as soon as possible ? I lifted my eyes and looked at him in disbelief . Edward didnt notice my strangeness and he held my hand and kissed it near his mouth . Melanie , you were very sad after Anthonys accident , and it pained me to see you like that . Instead of feeling this way , why dont we have another normal child ? The questioning words were on the tip of my tongue , but I swallowed them all . After a moment of silence , I cautiously spoke up . Edward , I didnt want to raise someone elses child . How about we have our own child in the future ? He instantly changed his facial expression and pushed me away . What are you talking about ! After realizing that he had lost his composure , he slowed down his voice , but his eyes involuntarily avoided contact . Melanie , your body is no longer suitable for having children , I cant bear to see you suffer . Anthony , in this situation , will also need someone to take care of him in the future . Just today , the doctor said that the person who received your blood donation wants to find someone to adopt their own child , so thats why I … Dont worry , only Anthony is my biological child , and everything I did was for his sake . My heart felt as if it was being squeezed tightly , causing intense pain . He took away everything from Anthony , not even willing to leave him a little bit of love . Always claiming to consider the children . Chapter 2 2/4 7 After such a long time of pretending , Im afraid I have even deceived myself . When I spoke again , I had already regained my composure . Okay , I got it . You can make the arrangements . Edward was overjoyed and bent down to kiss my forehead . I suppressed the rising bloodlust in my throat and smiled calmly . A heart , however , had already been shattered into pieces . He couldnt contain his excitement and , using the excuse of discussing my follow up treatment with the doctor , he left the ward without looking back . I pretended not to see Selena outside the door , looking at me provocatively . I tremblingly picked up the phone that Edward had placed by my bedside . Married for eight years , I had never checked his phone . Even the password settings were set to my birthday .. The wallpaper inside , long ago , was no longer our wedding photo . Instead , it turned into a family photo of him , Selena , and their child . In "She Returned, I Left" by CrushReel, a captivating romance unfolds against the backdrop of China.
